//! The string Pattern API.

//! The Pattern API provides a generic mechanism for using different pattern
//! types when searching through a string.
//!
//! For more details, see the traits [`Pattern`], [`Searcher`],
//! [`ReverseSearcher`], and [`DoubleEndedSearcher`].
//!
//! Although this API is unstable, it is exposed via stable APIs on the
//! [`str`] type.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! [`Pattern`] is [implemented][pattern-impls] in the stable API for
//! [`&str`][`str`], [`char`], slices of [`char`], and functions and closures
//! implementing `FnMut(char) -> bool`.
//!
//! ```
//! let s = "Can you find a needle in a haystack?";
//!
//! // &str pattern
//! assert_eq!(s.find("you"), Some(4));
//! // char pattern
//! assert_eq!(s.find('n'), Some(2));
//! // array of chars pattern
//! assert_eq!(s.find(&['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']), Some(1));
//! // slice of chars pattern
//! assert_eq!(s.find(&['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'][..]), Some(1));
//! // closure pattern
//! assert_eq!(s.find(|c: char| c.is_ascii_punctuation()), Some(35));

// Pattern

/// A string pattern.
///
/// A `Pattern<'a>` expresses that the implementing type
/// can be used as a string pattern for searching in a [`&'a str`][str].
///
/// For example, both `'a'` and `"aa"` are patterns that
/// would match at index `1` in the string `"baaaab"`.
///
/// The trait itself acts as a builder for an associated
/// [`Searcher`] type, which does the actual work of finding
/// occurrences of the pattern in a string.
///
/// Depending on the type of the pattern, the behaviour of methods like
/// [`str::find`] and [`str::contains`] can change. The table below describes
/// some of those behaviours.
///
/// | Pattern type             | Match condition                           |
/// |--------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
/// | `&str`                   | is substring                              |
/// | `char`                   | is contained in string                    |
/// | `&[char]`                | any char in slice is contained in string  |
/// | `F: FnMut(char) -> bool` | `F` returns `true` for a char in string   |
/// | `&&str`                  | is substring                              |
/// | `&String`                | is substring                              |

    Here's some background information.

    A *word* is a string of symbols. The *length* of a word should be a familiar
    notion, and here we denote it for any word x by |x|.
    (We also allow for the possibility of the *empty word*, a word of length zero).

    If x is any non-empty word, then an integer p with 0 < p <= |x| is said to be a
    *period* for x iff for all i with 0 <= i <= |x| - p - 1, we have x[i] == x[i+p].
    For example, both 1 and 2 are periods for the string "aa". As another example,
    the only period of the string "abcd" is 4.

    We denote by period(x) the *smallest* period of x (provided that x is non-empty).
    This is always well-defined since every non-empty word x has at least one period,
    |x|. We sometimes call this *the period* of x.

    If u, v and x are words such that x = uv, where uv is the concatenation of u and
    v, then we say that (u, v) is a *factorization* of x.

    Let (u, v) be a factorization for a word x. Then if w is a non-empty word such
    that both of the following hold

      - either w is a suffix of u or u is a suffix of w
      - either w is a prefix of v or v is a prefix of w

    then w is said to be a *repetition* for the factorization (u, v).

    Just to unpack this, there are four possibilities here. Let w = "abc". Then we
    might have:

      - w is a suffix of u and w is a prefix of v. ex: ("lolabc", "abcde")
      - w is a suffix of u and v is a prefix of w. ex: ("lolabc", "ab")
      - u is a suffix of w and w is a prefix of v. ex: ("bc", "abchi")
      - u is a suffix of w and v is a prefix of w. ex: ("bc", "a")

    Note that the word vu is a repetition for any factorization (u,v) of x = uv,
    so every factorization has at least one repetition.

    If x is a string and (u, v) is a factorization for x, then a *local period* for
    (u, v) is an integer r such that there is some word w such that |w| = r and w is
    a repetition for (u, v).

    We denote by local_period(u, v) the smallest local period of (u, v). We sometimes
    call this *the local period* of (u, v). Provided that x = uv is non-empty, this
    is well-defined (because each non-empty word has at least one factorization, as
    noted above).

    It can be proven that the following is an equivalent definition of a local period
    for a factorization (u, v): any positive integer r such that x[i] == x[i+r] for
    all i such that |u| - r <= i <= |u| - 1 and such that both x[i] and x[i+r] are
    defined. (i.e., i > 0 and i + r < |x|).

    Using the above reformulation, it is easy to prove that

        1 <= local_period(u, v) <= period(uv)

    A factorization (u, v) of x such that local_period(u,v) = period(x) is called a
    *critical factorization*.

    The algorithm hinges on the following theorem, which is stated without proof:

    **Critical Factorization Theorem** Any word x has at least one critical
    factorization (u, v) such that |u| < period(x).

    The purpose of maximal_suffix is to find such a critical factorization.

    If the period is short, compute another factorization x = u' v' to use
    for reverse search, chosen instead so that |v'| < period(x).
