Advice on symbol -> int mapping in C.

I have a few sets of data I'd like to look up by name and get an integer back. I've been using alists because they're convenient and easy to look at for debugging. I've just created a list of gtk-cursor-names with 77 values. Should I think about using a hash table? The values aren't looked up very often. And luckily a default hash table does what I want; calling make-hash-table with keywords from C appears scary. The is really more of a style question than an efficiency question. -- Jeff Sparkes jsparkes(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
