Bloom filter written in C++ for strings. Tests whether an element belongs to a set. False positive matches are possible, false negatives are not. Also implements Rabin–Karp algorithm with Rabin fingerprint hashes for multiple substring searches.

Bloom filter written in C++ for strings. Tests whether an element belongs to a set. False positive matches are possible, false negatives are not. Also implements Rabin–Karp algorithm with Rabin fingerprint hashes for multiple substring searches.

This is a port of a similar lib I prototyped in JS.

Installation

npm install bloom-filter-cpp

Usage

#include "BloomFilter.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char**argv) {
  BloomFilter b;
  b.add("Brian");
  b.add("Ronald");
  b.add("Bondy");

  // Prints true
  cout << (b.exists("Brian") ? "true" : "false") << endl;

  // Prints false
  cout << (b.exists("Brian Ronald") ? "true" : "false") << endl;

  // Create a new BloomerFilter form a previous serialization
  BloomFilter b2(b.getBuffer(), b.getByteBufferSize());

  // Prints the same as above
  cout << (b2.exists("Brian") ? "true" : "false") << endl;
  cout << (b2.exists("Brian Ronald") ? "true" : "false") << endl;

  // And you can check if any substring of a passed string exists
  // Prints true
  cout << (b.substringExists("Hello my name is Brian", 5) ? "true" : "false") << endl;
  // Prints false
  cout << (b.substringExists("Hello my name is Bri", 3) ? "true" : "false") << endl;

  return 0;
}
