So far, we'd use hashmap_free_free to free both keys and values along with
the hashmap. I think it's better to make this more encapsulated: in this variant
the way contents are freed can be decided when the hashmap is created, and
users of the hashmap can always use hashmap_free.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This is similar to string_hash_ops but operates one file system paths
specifically. It will ensure that "/foo//bar" and "///foo/bar" are
considered to be the same path for hashmap purposes.
This makes use of the existing path_compare() API, and adds a matching
hashing function for it.
Note that relative and absolute paths will hash to different values,
however whether the path is suffixed with a slash or not is not
detected. This matches the existing path_compare() behaviour, and
follows the logic that on Linux there can't be two different objects at
path /foo/bar and /foo/bar/ either.
