## Description

## Details

### Macro XML_CAST_FPTR

    #define XML_CAST_FPTR(fptr);

Macro to do a casting from an object pointer to a function pointer without encountering a warning from gcc #define XML_CAST_FPTR(fptr) (*(void **)(&fptr)) This macro violated ISO C aliasing rules (gcc4 on s390 broke) so it is disabled now

`fptr`: | pointer to a function

### Structure xmlHashTable

    struct _xmlHashTable {
    The content of this structure is not made public by the API.
    } xmlHashTable;

### Typedef xmlHashTablePtr

    xmlHashTable * xmlHashTablePtr;

### Function type xmlHashCopier

    void *	xmlHashCopier			(void * payload,
    					 const xmlChar * name)

Callback to copy data from a hash.

`payload`: | the data in the hash
`name`: | the name associated
`Returns`: | a copy of the data or NULL in case of error.

### Function type xmlHashDeallocator

    void	xmlHashDeallocator		(void * payload,
    					 const xmlChar * name)

Callback to free data from a hash.

`payload`: | the data in the hash
`name`: | the name associated

### Function type xmlHashScanner

    void	xmlHashScanner			(void * payload,
    					 void * data,
    					 const xmlChar * name)

Callback when scanning data in a hash with the simple scanner.

`payload`: | the data in the hash
`data`: | extra scanner data
`name`: | the name associated

### Function type xmlHashScannerFull

    void	xmlHashScannerFull		(void * payload,
    					 void * data,
    					 const xmlChar * name,

### xmlHashAddEntry ()

    int	xmlHashAddEntry			(xmlHashTablePtr hash,

`hash`: | hash table
`key`: | string key
`payload`: | pointer to the payload
`Returns`: | 0 on success and -1 in case of error.

### xmlHashAddEntry2 ()

    int	xmlHashAddEntry2		(xmlHashTablePtr hash,
