@mwk This is also my favorite part of POSIX, which I've been ranting about for years to anyone who will listen (and some who wont).Unix philosophy = do one thing; use (up to) one hash table.(More seriously: why? Does anyone use it? Was it *originally* more useful somehow?)

@ids1024 @mwk looks like there is,some software that uses it:- mtr https://github.com/traviscross/mtr/blob/master/ui/asn.c#L338- openzfs https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/blob/master/cmd/zstream/zstream_decompress.c#L94- openrsync https://github.com/kristapsdz/openrsync/blob/master/flist.c#L1433

@wolf480pl @ids1024 @mwk Even found one called hcreate in rustc: http://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=hcreate%28+package%3A%5CQrustc%5CE&literal=1

@wolf480pl @ids1024 @mwk Also other than OpenBSD there is hcreate_r in Unixes which should allow for multiple hash tables.

@wolf480pl @mwk @ids1024 Yeah, that said POSIX is made by what Unixes have. And if it's in glibc, musl, FreeBSD, NetBSD, … only way it couldn't get into POSIX is if somehow it's got important implementation differences.Here's the bug tracker https://austingroupbugs.net/ :)
