regex 0.1.76

An implementation of regular expressions for Rust. This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs.

/// A sparse set used for representing ordered NFA states.
///
/// This supports constant time addition and membership testing. Clearing an
/// entire set can also be done in constant time. Iteration yields elements
/// in the order in which they were inserted.
///
/// The data structure is based on: http://research.swtch.com/sparse
/// Note though that we don't actually use unitialized memory. We generally
/// reuse allocations, so the initial allocation cost is bareable. However,
/// its other properties listed above are extremely useful.
