memchr 2.8.0

/*!
Provides an architecture independent implementation of the "packed pair"
algorithm.

The "packed pair" algorithm is based on the [generic SIMD] algorithm. The main
difference is that it (by default) uses a background distribution of byte
frequencies to heuristically select the pair of bytes to search for. Note that
this module provides an architecture independent version that doesn't do as
good of a job keeping the search for candidates inside a SIMD hot path. It
however can be good enough in many circumstances.

/// This trait allows the user to customize the heuristic used to determine the

///
/// The use of this trait can have a dramatic impact on performance depending
/// on the type of data being searched. The details of why are explained in the
/// docs of [`crate::memmem::Prefilter`]. To summarize, the core algorithm uses
/// a prefilter to quickly identify candidate matches that are later verified
/// more slowly. This prefilter is implemented in terms of trying to find
/// `rare` bytes at specific offsets that will occur less frequently in the
/// dataset. While the concept of a `rare` byte is similar for most datasets,
/// there are some specific datasets (like binary executables) that have
/// dramatically different byte distributions. For these datasets customizing
/// the byte frequency heuristic can have a massive impact on performance, and
/// might even need to be done at runtime.
///
/// The default implementation of `HeuristicFrequencyRank` reads from the
/// static frequency table defined in `src/memmem/byte_frequencies.rs`. This
/// is optimal for most inputs, so if you are unsure of the impact of using a
/// custom `HeuristicFrequencyRank` you should probably just use the default.
