From the V6 C compiler source:

        /*
         * The hash table locations of the keywords
         * are marked; if an identifier hashes to one of
         * these locations, it is looked up in in the keyword
         * table first.
         */
        for (ip=kwtab; (sp = ip->kwname); ip++) {
                i = 0;
                while (*sp)
                        i =+ *sp++;
                hshtab[i%hshsiz].hflag = FKEYW;
        }

Note also that in that version of the compiler, MOS
(member of structure) names were global and could be
used with any pointer regardless of type.

This makes it difficult to build the original V6 c compiler using
a modern compiler :-)
