31 *
32 * $Log: sym.h,v $
33 * Revision 1.10 1999/12/10 23:42:04 mdw
34 * Change header file guard names.
35 *
36 * Revision 1.9 1999/08/02 16:53:48 mdw
37 * Improve type safety for sym_iter objects.
38 *
39 * Revision 1.8 1999/08/02 14:45:48 mdw
40 * Break low-level hashtable code out from sym.
41 *
42 * Revision 1.7 1999/06/01 09:49:33 mdw
43 * Allow things to be looked up by just their caller-supplied hashes. This
44 * actually needs to be thought through better.
45 *
46 * Revision 1.6 1999/05/26 21:08:31 mdw
47 * Rename symbols in line with newer conventions.
48 *
49 * Revision 1.5 1999/05/13 22:48:37 mdw
50 * Change `-ise' to `-ize' throughout.
51 *
52 * Revision 1.4 1999/05/06 19:51:35 mdw
53 * Reformatted the LGPL notice a little bit.
54 *
55 * Revision 1.3 1999/05/05 18:50:31 mdw
56 * Change licensing conditions to LGPL.
57 *
58 * Revision 1.2 1998/11/26 19:27:34 mdw
59 * Move SYM_NAME into the header file. Fix bugs.
60 *
61 * Revision 1.1.1.1 1998/06/17 23:44:42 mdw
62 * Initial version of mLib
