gperf bug

[Morten Welinder]

Hi,

when gperf 2.7 is run with the arguments

    gperf -c -a -E -C -t -L C++ -Z MYCLASS -H hash -N lookup -k 1-5 -T -o 
myfile.gperf

it will generate code like

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* C++ code produced by gperf version 2.7 */
...
inline unsigned int
MYCLASS::hash (register const char *str, register unsigned int len)
{
  ...
}
...
      register int key = hash (str, len);
      if (key <= MAX_HASH_VALUE && key >= 0)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clearly, "key" should be unsigned and the wasteful test against 0 should
be eliminated.

(And perhaps gperf should use C++ comments in C++ mode.)
