Re: Advantage of uthash over glib2 hash?

I needed a quick hash in order to solve a big performance problem. uthash
was simple (not quite so much as the front page on its website suggests),
well documented, easy to implement, and compatibly licensed. And I knew
that Troy would help me if I had a problem. (There were no problems.) I was
very happy with the way it turned out. GLib can be a bit heavy and
difficult to use in certain cases since it brings with it so much baggage,
and, to be honest, I didn't know that it implemented hashes anyway.

That said, I'm perfectly satisfied with GLib doing what it currently does.
I know that a few other people would like to switch to GNUlib where
possible, but I don't think that this is worth the effort and trouble right
now.
