20 /* Before including this file, you need to include <string.h> (and
21 <config.h> before that, if not part of libc), and define:
22 RESULT_TYPE A macro that expands to the return type.
23 AVAILABLE(h, h_l, j, n_l)
24 A macro that returns nonzero if there are
25 at least N_L bytes left starting at H[J].
26 H is 'unsigned char *', H_L, J, and N_L
27 are 'size_t'; H_L is an lvalue. For
28 NUL-terminated searches, H_L can be
29 modified each iteration to avoid having
30 to compute the end of H up front.
32 For case-insensitivity, you may optionally define:
33 CMP_FUNC(p1, p2, l) A macro that returns 0 iff the first L
34 characters of P1 and P2 are equal.
35 CANON_ELEMENT(c) A macro that canonicalizes an element right after
36 it has been fetched from one of the two strings.
37 The argument is an 'unsigned char'; the result
38 must be an 'unsigned char' as well.
40 This file undefines the macros documented above, and defines
41 LONG_NEEDLE_THRESHOLD.
47 /* We use the Two-Way string matching algorithm, which guarantees
48 linear complexity with constant space. Additionally, for long
49 needles, we also use a bad character shift table similar to the
50 Boyer-Moore algorithm to achieve improved (potentially sub-linear)
53 See http://www-igm.univ-mlv.fr/~lecroq/string/node26.html#SECTION00260
54 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer-Moore_string_search_algorithm
57 /* Point at which computing a bad-byte shift table is likely to be
58 worthwhile. Small needles should not compute a table, since it
59 adds (1 << CHAR_BIT) + NEEDLE_LEN computations of preparation for a
60 speedup no greater than a factor of NEEDLE_LEN. The larger the
61 needle, the better the potential performance gain. On the other
62 hand, on non-POSIX systems with CHAR_BIT larger than eight, the
63 memory required for the table is prohibitive. */

81 /* Perform a critical factorization of NEEDLE, of length NEEDLE_LEN.
82 Return the index of the first byte in the right half, and set
83 *PERIOD to the global period of the right half.
85 The global period of a string is the smallest index (possibly its
86 length) at which all remaining bytes in the string are repetitions
87 of the prefix (the last repetition may be a subset of the prefix).
89 When NEEDLE is factored into two halves, a local period is the
90 length of the smallest word that shares a suffix with the left half
91 and shares a prefix with the right half. All factorizations of a
92 non-empty NEEDLE have a local period of at least 1 and no greater
95 A critical factorization has the property that the local period
96 equals the global period. All strings have at least one critical
97 factorization with the left half smaller than the global period.
99 Given an ordered alphabet, a critical factorization can be computed
100 in linear time, with 2 * NEEDLE_LEN comparisons, by computing the
101 larger of two ordered maximal suffixes. The ordered maximal
102 suffixes are determined by lexicographic comparison of
