1. INTRODUCTION
-----------------

This tree contains sources, documents, tests, and tools for the Judy package.
This file is in a form that can be validated using the tool/readme script.

NOTE:  The README files here describe some files that are not included in
every Judy source package.

WHAT IS JUDY?  (see below for list of top-level directories and files)

Judy is a C library that implements a dynamic array.  Empty Judy arrays are
declared with null pointers.  A Judy array consumes memory only when
populated yet can grow to take advantage of all available memory.  Judy's key
benefits are:  scalability, performance, memory efficiency, and ease of use.
Judy arrays are designed to grow without tuning into the peta-element range,
scaling near O(log-base-256) -- 1 more RAM access at 256 X population.

Judy arrays are accessed with insert, retrieve, and delete calls for number
or string indexes.  Configuration and tuning are not required -- in fact not
possible.  Judy offers sorting, counting, and neighbor/empty searching.
Indexes can be sequential, clustered, periodic, or random -- it doesn't
matter to the algorithm.  Judy arrays can be arranged hierarchically to
handle any bit patterns -- large indexes, sets of keys, etc.

Judy is often an improvement over common data structures such as:  arrays,
sparse arrays, hash tables, B-trees, binary trees, linear lists, skiplists,
other sort and search algorithms, and counting functions.

3. HOW TO INSTALL
-----------------

For a quick description see the INSTALL file. 

Judy is now based on the GNU Auto tools. This means that you can do the standard
configure, make, make check and make install and everything should work, with
one minor differnece and a little caviot. 

Judy is capiable of being built as a 32-bit or a 64-bit library. Therefor you
need to tell Judy what you want. You MUST run configure with one of the
following flags:
          
	  --enable-32-bit 
          --enable-64-bit 

If your compiler generates 32-bit code by default, such as x86, and you run
configure with --enable-32-bit, your done. You can now run make, make check and
make install.  

If your compiler generates 64-bit code by default, such as Linux IA-64, and you
run configure with --enable-64-bit, your done. You can now run make, make check
and make install.  

The caviot comes in on machines that support both at 32-bit and 64-bit runtime
environments such as RISC platforms and x86-64. In this case your compiler will
either use 32-bit or 64-bit as default. If you plan to use the default you can
follow the above instructions and be finished. 

However, if you wish to compile for the non-default target type. YOU ARE
RESPONSIABLE FOR SETTING THE CORRECT FLAGS! Such as CFLAGS to make your compiler
switch modes LDFLAGS to make your linker behave, etc. 

For example: On HP-UX PA-RISC the compiler generates 32-bit code by default. If
I wish to stick with the defautls I can build Judy by: 
   ./configure --enable-32-bit
   make
   make check
   make install 

If I want to build Judy as a 64-bit library on HP-UX PA-RISC I have to do:
   CFLAGS=+DD64 ./configure --enable-64-bit 
   make 
   make check 
   make install

6. REPORTING BUGS
-----------------

If you encounter a bug, please submit it to the project bug list, 
located on the project page:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/judy/

7. KNOWN ISSUES
---------------

When compiling on HP-UX, you may get a message like: 
 error 1000: Unexpected symbol: 

This is a problem with the HP's compiler in that it doesn't like a typedef'ed
type following a static inline.

You can work around it by running this command from the Judy directory. 

find ./ -name \*.[ch] | xargs perl -i.BAK -pe 's/static inline/static/g'
