Google Sparse Hash
An extremely memory-efficient hash_map implementation, with only 2 bits/entry overhead.
We've Moved!
Google SparseHash is now hosted at code.google.com. Our new homepage is located at http://code.google.com/p/google-sparsehash.
Overview
The Google SparseHash project contains several hash-map implementations in use at Google, with different performance characteristics, including an implementation that optimizes for space and one that optimizes for speed.
SparseHash is a template library; there are no binaries to install.

Example
This is by no means a complete example; it simply gives you a feel for what the Sparsehash API looks like.
#include <iostream>
#include <google/sparse_hash_map>
struct eqstr
{
bool operator()(const char* s1, const char* s2) const
{
return (s1 == s2) || (s1 && s2 && strcmp(s1, s2) == 0);
}
};
int main()
{
google::sparse_hash_map<const char*, int, hash<const char*>, eqstr> months;
months.set_deleted_key(NULL);
months["january"] = 31;
months["february"] = 28;
months["march"] = 31;
months["april"] = 30;
months["may"] = 31;
months["june"] = 30;
months["july"] = 31;
months["august"] = 31;
months["september"] = 30;
months["october"] = 31;
months["november"] = 30;
months["december"] = 31;
std::cout << "september -> " << months["september"] << std::endl;
std::cout << "april -> " << months["april"] << std::endl;
std::cout << "june -> " << months["june"] << std::endl;
std::cout << "november -> " << months["november"] << std::endl;
return 0;
