Detailed Description

This implements a Golomb-coded set as defined in BIP 158.

It is a compact, probabilistic data structure for testing set membership.

Hash a data element to an integer in the range [0, N * M).

Match()

bool GCSFilter::Match

(

const Element &

element

)

const

Checks if the element may be in the set.

False positives are possible with probability 1/M.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

MatchAny()

bool GCSFilter::MatchAny

(

const ElementSet &

elements

)

const

Checks if any of the given elements may be in the set.

False positives are possible with probability 1/M per element checked. This is more efficient that checking Match on multiple elements separately.
