Subject: Non power of two hash table sizes

Author: Alvaro Jose Povoa Cardoso

Date: 12:43:09 02/18/02

My program uses hash tables witch are a power of two.
In order to compute the index to an hash table of this kind I simply do:
  hashindex=(hashkey & hashsize)
in witch hashsize is a mask with for example the first 12 bits set for a size of
4096 entries.
I would like to know how to compute the index to a hash table that can have
sizes like 1MB, 7MB, 45MB, 49MB, 50MB, ..etc
Could someone please explain how to do this?

Thank you,
Alvaro Cardoso
