pub struct Finder { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
A “packed pair” finder that uses 256-bit vector operations.
This finder picks two bytes that it believes have high predictive power
for indicating an overall match of a needle. Depending on whether
Finder::find
or Finder::find_prefilter
is used, it reports offsets
where the needle matches or could match. In the prefilter case, candidates
are reported whenever the Pair
of bytes given matches.
Implementations§
source§impl Finder
impl Finder
sourcepub fn new(needle: &[u8]) -> Option<Finder>
pub fn new(needle: &[u8]) -> Option<Finder>
Create a new pair searcher. The searcher returned can either report
exact matches of needle
or act as a prefilter and report candidate
positions of needle
.
If AVX2 is unavailable in the current environment or if a Pair
could not be constructed from the needle given, then None
is
returned.
sourcepub fn with_pair(needle: &[u8], pair: Pair) -> Option<Finder>
pub fn with_pair(needle: &[u8], pair: Pair) -> Option<Finder>
Create a new “packed pair” finder using the pair of bytes given.
This constructor permits callers to control precisely which pair of bytes is used as a predicate.
If AVX2 is unavailable in the current environment, then None
is
returned.
sourcepub fn is_available() -> bool
pub fn is_available() -> bool
Returns true when this implementation is available in the current environment.
When this is true, it is guaranteed that Finder::with_pair
will
return a Some
value. Similarly, when it is false, it is guaranteed
that Finder::with_pair
will return a None
value. Notice that this
does not guarantee that Finder::new
will return a Finder
. Namely,
even when Finder::is_available
is true, it is not guaranteed that a
valid Pair
can be found from the needle given.
Note also that for the lifetime of a single program, if this returns true then it will always return true.
sourcepub fn find(&self, haystack: &[u8], needle: &[u8]) -> Option<usize>
pub fn find(&self, haystack: &[u8], needle: &[u8]) -> Option<usize>
Execute a search using AVX2 vectors and routines.
§Panics
When haystack.len()
is less than Finder::min_haystack_len
.
sourcepub fn find_prefilter(&self, haystack: &[u8]) -> Option<usize>
pub fn find_prefilter(&self, haystack: &[u8]) -> Option<usize>
Run this finder on the given haystack as a prefilter.
If a candidate match is found, then an offset where the needle could begin in the haystack is returned.
§Panics
When haystack.len()
is less than Finder::min_haystack_len
.
sourcepub fn pair(&self) -> &Pair
pub fn pair(&self) -> &Pair
Returns the pair of offsets (into the needle) used to check as a predicate before confirming whether a needle exists at a particular position.
sourcepub fn min_haystack_len(&self) -> usize
pub fn min_haystack_len(&self) -> usize
Returns the minimum haystack length that this Finder
can search.
Using a haystack with length smaller than this in a search will result in a panic. The reason for this restriction is that this finder is meant to be a low-level component that is part of a larger substring strategy. In that sense, it avoids trying to handle all cases and instead only handles the cases that it can handle very well.
