33  * This file provides the interfaces to build a Str_tbl suitable for use by
34  * either the sgsmsg message system, or a standard ELF string table (SHT_STRTAB)
35  * as created by ld(1).
36  *
37  * There are two modes which can be used when constructing a string table:
38  *
39  *	st_new(0)
40  *		standard string table - no compression.  This is the
41  *		traditional, fast method.
42  *
43  *	st_new(FLG_STTAB_COMPRESS)
44  *		builds a compressed string table which both eliminates
45  *		duplicate strings, and permits strings with common suffixes
46  *		(atexit vs. exit) to overlap in the table.  This provides space
47  *		savings for many string tables.  Although more work than the
48  *		traditional method, the algorithms used are designed to scale
49  *		and keep any overhead at a minimum.
50  *
51  * These string tables are built with a common interface in a two-pass manner.
52  * The first pass finds all of the strings required for the string-table and
53  * calculates the size required for the final string table.
54  *
55  * The second pass allocates the string table, populates the strings into the
56  * table and returns the offsets the strings have been assigned.
57  *
58  * The calling sequence to build and populate a string table is:
59  *
60  *		st_new();		// initialize strtab
61  *
62  *		st_insert(st1);		// first pass of strings ...
63  *					// calculates size required for
64  *					// string table
65  *
66  *		st_delstring(st?);	// remove string previously
67  *					// inserted
68  *		st_insert(stN);
69  *
70  *		st_getstrtab_sz();	// freezes strtab and computes
71  *					// size of table.
72  *
73  *		st_setstrbuf();		// associates a final destination
74  *					// for the string table
75  *
76  *		st_setstring(st1);	// populate the string table
77  *		...			// offsets are based off of second
78  *					// pass	through the string table
79  *		st_setstring(stN);
80  *
81  *		st_destroy();		// tear down string table
82  *					// structures.
83  *
84  * String Suffix Compression Algorithm:
85  *
86  *   Here's a quick high level overview of the Suffix String
87  *   compression algorithm used.  First - the heart of the algorithm
88  *   is a Hash table list which represents a dictionary of all unique
89  *   strings inserted into the string table.  The hash function for
90  *   this table is a standard string hash except that the hash starts
91  *   at the last character in the string (&str[n - 1]) and works towards
92  *   the first character in the function (&str[0]).  As we compute the
93  *   HASH value for a given string, we also compute the hash values
94  *   for all of the possible suffix strings for that string.
95  *
96  *   As we compute the hash - at each character see if the current
97  *   suffix string for that hash is already present in the table.  If
98  *   it is, and the string is a master string.  Then change that
99  *   string to a suffix string of the new string being inserted.
100  *
101  *   When the final hash value is found (hash for str[0...n]), check
102  *   to see if it is in the hash table - if so increment the reference
103  *   count for the string.  If it is not yet in the table, insert a
104  *   new hash table entry for a master string.
105  *
106  *   The above method will find all suffixes of a given string given
107  *   that the strings are inserted from shortest to longest.  That is
108  *   why this is a two phase method, we first collect all of the
109  *   strings and store them based off of their length in an AVL tree.
110  *   Once all of the strings have been submitted we then start the
111  *   hash table build by traversing the AVL tree in order and
112  *   inserting the strings from shortest to longest as described
113  *   above.
