patterns.</p>
<p>This sub-module provides vectorized routines for quickly finding
matches of a small number of patterns. In general, users of this crate
shouldnt need to interface with this module directly, as the primary
<a href="../struct.AhoCorasick.html" title="struct aho_corasick::AhoCorasick"><code>AhoCorasick</code></a> searcher will use these routines
automatically as a prefilter when applicable. However, in some cases, callers
may want to bypass the Aho-Corasick machinery entirely and use this vectorized
searcher directly.</p>
<h2 id="overview"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#overview">§</a>Overview</h2>
<p>The primary types in this sub-module are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="struct.Searcher.html" title="struct aho_corasick::packed::Searcher"><code>Searcher</code></a> executes the actual search algorithm to report matches in a
haystack.</li>
<li><a href="struct.Builder.html" title="struct aho_corasick::packed::Builder"><code>Builder</code></a> accumulates patterns incrementally and can construct a
<code>Searcher</code>.</li>
<li><a href="struct.Config.html" title="struct aho_corasick::packed::Config"><code>Config</code></a> permits tuning the searcher, and itself will produce a <code>Builder</code>
(which can then be used to build a <code>Searcher</code>). Currently, the only tuneable
knob are the match semantics, but this may be expanded in the future.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="examples"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#examples">§</a>Examples</h2>
<p>This example shows how to create a searcher from an iterator of patterns.
By default, leftmost-first match semantics are used. (See the top-level
<a href="enum.MatchKind.html" title="enum aho_corasick::packed::MatchKind"><code>MatchKind</code></a> type for more details about match semantics, which apply
similarly to packed substring search.)</p>

<p>This example shows how to use <a href="struct.Config.html" title="struct aho_corasick::packed::Config"><code>Config</code></a> to change the match semantics to

<h2 id="packed-substring-searching"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#packed-substring-searching">§</a>Packed substring searching</h2>
<p>Packed substring searching refers to the use of SIMD (Single Instruction,
Multiple Data) to accelerate the detection of matches in a haystack. Unlike
conventional algorithms, such as Aho-Corasick, SIMD algorithms for substring
search tend to do better with a small number of patterns, where as Aho-Corasick
generally maintains reasonably consistent performance regardless of the number
of patterns you give it. Because of this, the vectorized searcher in this
sub-module cannot be used as a general purpose searcher, since building the
searcher may fail even when given a small number of patterns. However, in
exchange, when searching for a small number of patterns, searching can be quite
a bit faster than Aho-Corasick (sometimes by an order of magnitude).</p>
<p>The key take away here is that constructing a searcher from a list of patterns
is a fallible operation with no clear rules for when it will fail. While the
precise conditions under which building a searcher can fail is specifically an
implementation detail, here are some common reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>Too many patterns were given. Typically, the limit is on the order of 100 or
so, but this limit may fluctuate based on available CPU features.</li>
<li>The available packed algorithms require CPU features that arent available.
For example, currently, this crate only provides packed algorithms for
<code>x86_64</code> and <code>aarch64</code>. Therefore, constructing a packed searcher on any
other target will always fail.</li>
<li>Zero patterns were given, or one of the patterns given was empty. Packed
searchers require at least one pattern and that all patterns are non-empty.</li>
<li>Something else about the nature of the patterns (typically based on
heuristics) suggests that a packed searcher would perform very poorly, so
no searcher is built.</li>
</ul>
