All-at-once deletion
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you only want to delete all the items, but not free them or do any
per-element clean up, you can do this more efficiently in a single operation:
All-at-once deletion with cleanup
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to delete absolutely all the items,
you can do this more efficiently in a single operation:

.Delete all items from a hash, faster
----------------------------------------------------------------------
void delete_all_faster() {
HASH_FREE_AND_CLEAR(hh, users, free);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Afterward, the list head (here, `users`) will be set to `NULL`.

This is equivalent to the `HASH_ITER` approach, but it skips fixing up
all of the prev/next pointers on each iteration. Note that if the
specified deleter (here, `free`) ever does a `longjmp` or otherwise exits
non-locally, the hash table will be left in an inconsistent and
unusable state.

All-at-once deletion without cleanup
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you only want to delete all the items from the hash, but not do any
per-element cleanup (such as `free`), you can do this in constant time:

HASH_CLEAR(hh,users);

`HASH_CLEAR` has the same effect as

HASH_FREE_AND_CLEAR(hh,users,item,(void));

but is much faster because it does not iterate the hash.

Afterward, the list head (here, `users`) will be set to `NULL`.
