Subject: [PATCH 00/10] Friday night special: hash map cleanup
Message-ID: <20170701002838.22785-1-sbeller@google.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170701002838.22785-1-sbeller%40google.com

```
This goes on top of sb/hashmap-customize-comparison.
No functional impact but a pure cleanup series:
No casts to hashmap_cmp_fn in the whole code base any more.

This revealed another interesting thing, which is not a bug per se:
The const correctness of hashmap_cmp_fn as it requires all its void
pointers to be const!

We violate this in patch-ids.c as we modify the `fndata` at some
uncritical part (a part that doesn't change the equal-functionality
AFAICT).

Thanks,
Stefan

```
MAke the code more readable and less error prone by avoiding the cast
of the compare function pointer in hashmap_init, but instead have the
correctly named void pointers to casted to the specific data structure.

```
With the new field that is passed to the compare function, we can pass
through flags there instead of having multiple compare functions.
Also drop the cast to hashmap_cmp_fn.
