Cuckoo hashing in C

Question

Does anybody have an implementation of Cuckoo hashing in C? If there was an Open Source, non GPL version it would be perfect!

Since Adam mentioned it in his comment, any

Answer 1

As other answers have pointed out, it's true that the simplest cuckoo hashtable requires that the table be half empty. However, the concept has been generalized to d-ary cuckoo hashing, in which each key has d possible places to nest, as opposed to 2 places in the simple version.

The acceptable load factor increases quickly as d is increased. For only d=3, you can already use around a 75% full table. The downside is that you need d independent hash functions. I'm a fan of Bob Jenkins' hash functions for this purpose (see http://burtleburtle.net/bob/c/lookup3.c), which you might find useful in a cuckoo hashing implementation.
