Description
C++ Bloom Filter Library, has the following capabilities:
- Optimal parameter selection based on expected false positive rate.
- Union, intersection and difference operations between bloom filters.
- Compression of in-use table (increase of false positive probability vs space)
- Portable and efficient source code implementation.
- Single header implementation, no building required. No external dependencies
Compatible Compilers
- GNU Compiler Collection (4.1+)
- Intelยฎ C++ Compiler (9.x+)
- Clang/LLVM (1.1+)
- PGI C++ (10.x+)
- Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Compiler (8.1+)

Simple Bloom Filter Example
Example's objectives:
- Instantiate and configure a Bloom filter
- Add some strings and integers to the Bloom filter
- Query the Bloom filter for membership of the previously added strings and integers
- Query the Bloom filter for membership of integers that were NOT previously added (potential false positives)
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "bloom_filter.hpp"

// Maximum tolerable false positive probability? (0,1)

// Simple randomizer (optional)
