Awesome articals ..

but one quick doubt.
Is your Code compiled? because I see you have

void* hashtab and then try dereference that .. I think in that case you should get the error:

void value not ignored as it ought to be

(I've fixed that, but forgot to reply in Disqus)

Thanks for great article. It helped me a lot.

One thing that took me a day to find is that you should change:
while (chain[ix - symoffset] & 1 == 0) ix++;
to:
while ((chain[ix - symoffset] & 1) == 0) ix++;

C/C++ operator precedence bounds comparison operator tighter than bitwise AND operator. Your version will be optimize out because it's equivalent to while (chain[ix - symoffset] & fasle) ix++;
