Struct

GLibHashTable

Description

struct GHashTable {
  /* No available fields */
}

The GHashTable struct is an opaque data structure to represent a [Hash Table][glib-Hash-Tables]. It should only be accessed via the following functions.

Functions

g_hash_table_add

This is a convenience function for using a GHashTable as a set. It is equivalent to calling g_hash_table_replace() with key as both the key and the value.

since: 2.32

g_hash_table_contains

Checks if key is in hash_table.

since: 2.32

g_hash_table_destroy

Destroys all keys and values in the GHashTable and decrements its reference count by 1. If keys and/or values are dynamically allocated, you should either free them first or create the GHashTable with destroy notifiers using g_hash_table_new_full(). In the latter case the destroy functions you supplied will be called on all keys and values during the destruction phase.

g_hash_table_find

Calls the given function for key/value pairs in the GHashTable until predicate returns TRUE. The function is passed the key and value of each pair, and the given user_data parameter. The hash table may not be modified while iterating over it (you can’t add/remove items).

since: 2.4

g_hash_table_foreach

Calls the given function for each of the key/value pairs in the GHashTable. The function is passed the key and value of each pair, and the given user_data parameter. The hash table may not be modified while iterating over it (you can’t add/remove items). To remove all items matching a predicate, use g_hash_table_foreach_remove().

g_hash_table_foreach_remove

Calls the given function for each key/value pair in the GHashTable. If the function returns TRUE, then the key/value pair is removed from the GHashTable. If you supplied key or value destroy functions when creating the GHashTable, they are used to free the memory allocated for the removed keys and values.

g_hash_table_foreach_steal

Calls the given function for each key/value pair in the GHashTable. If the function returns TRUE, then the key/value pair is removed from the GHashTable, but no key or value destroy functions are called.

g_hash_table_get_keys

Retrieves every key inside hash_table. The returned data is valid until changes to the hash release those keys.

since: 2.14

g_hash_table_get_keys_as_array

Retrieves every key inside hash_table, as an array.

since: 2.40

g_hash_table_get_keys_as_ptr_array

Retrieves every key inside hash_table, as a GPtrArray. The returned data is valid until changes to the hash release those keys.

since: 2.76

g_hash_table_get_values

Retrieves every value inside hash_table. The returned data is valid until hash_table is modified.

since: 2.14

g_hash_table_get_values_as_ptr_array

Retrieves every value inside hash_table, as a GPtrArray. The returned data is valid until changes to the hash release those values.

since: 2.76

g_hash_table_insert

Inserts a new key and value into a GHashTable.

g_hash_table_lookup

Looks up a key in a GHashTable. Note that this function cannot distinguish between a key that is not present and one which is present and has the value NULL. If you need this distinction, use g_hash_table_lookup_extended().

g_hash_table_lookup_extended

Looks up a key in the GHashTable, returning the original key and the associated value and a #gboolean which is TRUE if the key was found. This is useful if you need to free the memory allocated for the original key, for example before calling g_hash_table_remove().

g_hash_table_new

Creates a new GHashTable with a reference count of 1.

g_hash_table_new_full

Creates a new GHashTable like g_hash_table_new() with a reference count of 1 and allows to specify functions to free the memory allocated for the key and value that get called when removing the entry from the GHashTable.

g_hash_table_new_similar

Creates a new GHashTable like g_hash_table_new_full() with a reference count of 1.

since: 2.72

g_hash_table_ref

Atomically increments the reference count of hash_table by one. This function is MT-safe and may be called from any thread.

since: 2.10

g_hash_table_remove

Removes a key and its associated value from a GHashTable.

g_hash_table_remove_all

Removes all keys and their associated values from a GHashTable.

since: 2.12

g_hash_table_replace

Inserts a new key and value into a GHashTable similar to g_hash_table_insert(). The difference is that if the key already exists in the GHashTable, it gets replaced by the new key. If you supplied a value_destroy_func when creating the GHashTable, the old value is freed using that function. If you supplied a key_destroy_func when creating the GHashTable, the old key is freed using that function.

g_hash_table_size

Returns the number of elements contained in the GHashTable.

g_hash_table_steal

Removes a key and its associated value from a GHashTable without calling the key and value destroy functions.

g_hash_table_steal_all

Removes all keys and their associated values from a GHashTable without calling the key and value destroy functions.

since: 2.12

g_hash_table_steal_all_keys

Removes all keys and their associated values from a GHashTable without calling the key destroy functions, returning the keys as a GPtrArray with the free func set to the hash_table key destroy function.

since: 2.76

g_hash_table_steal_all_values

Removes all keys and their associated values from a GHashTable without calling the value destroy functions, returning the values as a GPtrArray with the free func set to the hash_table value destroy function.

since: 2.76

g_hash_table_steal_extended

Looks up a key in the GHashTable, stealing the original key and the associated value and returning TRUE if the key was found. If the key was not found, FALSE is returned.

since: 2.58

g_hash_table_unref

Atomically decrements the reference count of hash_table by one. If the reference count drops to 0, all keys and values will be destroyed, and all memory allocated by the hash table is released. This function is MT-safe and may be called from any thread.

since: 2.10
