A heads-up: I'm renaming svn_hash_get_bool() to
svn_config_hash_get_bool(), and svn_hash_get_cstring() to
svn_config_hash_get(), moving them from svn_hash.h to svn_config.h.
They are being used only for config hashes, and don't seem like
general-purpose hash functions. In particular, _get_bool() looks for a
variety of human-oriented boolean-like strings (on, off, yes, no, etc.).
Note that we already have svn_config_get_bool() and svn_config_get(),
which are similar but operate on a structured config file object,
whereas the functions I'm renaming operate on a simple hash.
Current APIs:
[[[
# In svn_hash.h:
/** Find the value of a @a key in @a hash, return the value.
*
* If @a hash is @c NULL or if the @a key cannot be found, the
* @a default_value will be returned.
*
* @since New in 1.7.
*/
const char *
svn_hash_get_cstring(apr_hash_t *hash,
const char *key,
const char *default_value);
/** Like svn_hash_get_cstring(), but for boolean values.
*
* Parses the value as a boolean value. The recognized representations
* are 'TRUE'/'FALSE', 'yes'/'no', 'on'/'off', '1'/'0'; case does not
* matter.
*
* @since New in 1.7.
*/
svn_boolean_t
svn_hash_get_bool(apr_hash_t *hash,
const char *key,
svn_boolean_t default_value);
# In svn_config.h:
/** Find the value of a (@a section, @a option) pair in @a cfg, set @a
* *valuep to the value.
*
* If @a cfg is @c NULL, just sets @a *valuep to @a default_value. If
* the value does not exist, expand and return @a default_value. @a
* default_value can be NULL.
*
* The returned value will be valid at least until the next call to
* svn_config_get(), or for the lifetime of @a default_value. It is
* safest to consume the returned value immediately.
*
* This function may change @a cfg by expanding option values.
*/

Let me know if you have any concerns. As I don't anticipate any, I'll
probably make the change before waiting for replies.
