/*!
Provides literal extraction from `Hir` expressions.

An [`Extractor`] pulls literals out of [`Hir`] expressions and returns a
[`Seq`] of [`Literal`]s.

The purpose of literal extraction is generally to provide avenues for
optimizing regex searches. The main idea is that substring searches can be an
order of magnitude faster than a regex search. Therefore, if one can execute
a substring search to find candidate match locations and only run the regex
search at those locations, then it is possible for huge improvements in
performance to be realized.

With that said, literal optimizations are generally a black art because even
though substring search is generally faster, if the number of candidates
produced is high, then it can create a lot of overhead by ping-ponging between
the substring search and the regex search.

Here are some heuristics that might be used to help increase the chances of
effective literal optimizations:

* Stick to small [`Seq`]s. If you search for too many literals, it's likely
to lead to substring search that is only a little faster than a regex search,
and thus the overhead of using literal optimizations in the first place might
make things slower overall.
* The literals in your [`Seq`] shouldn't be too short. In general, longer is
better. A sequence corresponding to single bytes that occur frequently in the
haystack, for example, is probably a bad literal optimization because it's
likely to produce many false positive candidates. Longer literals are less
likely to match, and thus probably produce fewer false positives.
* If it's possible to estimate the approximate frequency of each byte according
to some pre-computed background distribution, it is possible to compute a score
of how "good" a `Seq` is. If a `Seq` isn't good enough, you might consider
skipping the literal optimization and just use the regex engine.

(It should be noted that there are always pathological cases that can make
any kind of literal optimization be a net slower result. This is why it
might be a good idea to be conservative, or to even provide a means for
literal optimizations to be dynamically disabled if they are determined to be
ineffective according to some measure.)

You're encouraged to explore the methods on [`Seq`], which permit shrinking
the size of sequences in a preference-order preserving fashion.

Finally, note that it isn't strictly necessary to use an [`Extractor`]. Namely,
an `Extractor` only uses public APIs of the [`Seq`] and [`Literal`] types,
so it is possible to implement your own extractor. For example, for n-grams
or "inner" literals (i.e., not prefix or suffix literals). The `Extractor`
is mostly responsible for the case analysis over `Hir` expressions. Much of
the "trickier" parts are how to combine literal sequences, and that is all
implemented on [`Seq`].

/// Extracts prefix or suffix literal sequences from [`Hir`] expressions.
///
/// Literal extraction is based on the following observations:
///
/// * Many regexes start with one or a small number of literals.
/// * Substring search for literals is often much faster (sometimes by an order
/// of magnitude) than a regex search.
///
/// Thus, in many cases, one can search for literals to find candidate starting
/// locations of a match, and then only run the full regex engine at each such
/// location instead of over the full haystack.
///
/// The main downside of literal extraction is that it can wind up causing a
/// search to be slower overall. For example, if there are many matches or if
/// there are many candidates that don't ultimately lead to a match, then a
/// lot of overhead will be spent in shuffing back-and-forth between substring
/// search and the regex engine. This is the fundamental reason why literal
/// optimizations for regex patterns is sometimes considered a "black art."
///
/// # Look-around assertions
///
/// Literal extraction treats all look-around assertions as-if they match every
/// empty string. So for example, the regex `\bquux\b` will yield a sequence
/// containing a single exact literal `quux`. However, not all occurrences
/// of `quux` correspond to a match a of the regex. For example, `\bquux\b`
/// does not match `ZquuxZ` anywhere because `quux` does not fall on a word
/// boundary.
///
/// In effect, if your regex contains look-around assertions, then a match of
/// an exact literal does not necessarily mean the regex overall matches. So
/// you may still need to run the regex engine in such cases to confirm the
/// match.
///
/// The precise guarantee you get from a literal sequence is: if every literal
/// in the sequence is exact and the original regex contains zero look-around
/// assertions, then a preference-order multi-substring search of those
/// literals will precisely match a preference-order search of the original
/// regex.
///
/// # Example
///
/// This shows how to extract prefixes:
///
/// ```
/// use regex_syntax::{hir::literal::{Extractor, Literal, Seq}, parse};
///
/// let hir = parse(r"(a|b|c)(x|y|z)[A-Z]+foo")?;
/// let got = Extractor::new().extract(&hir);
/// // All literals returned are "inexact" because none of them reach the
/// // match state.
/// let expected = Seq::from_iter([
///     Literal::inexact("ax"),
///     Literal::inexact("ay"),
///     Literal::inexact("az"),
///     Literal::inexact("bx"),
///     Literal::inexact("by"),
///     Literal::inexact("bz"),
///     Literal::inexact("cx"),
///     Literal::inexact("cy"),
///     Literal::inexact("cz"),
/// ]);
/// assert_eq!(expected, got);
///
/// # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
/// ```
///
/// This shows how to extract suffixes:
///
/// ```
/// use regex_syntax::{
///     hir::literal::{Extractor, ExtractKind, Literal, Seq},
///     parse,
/// };
///
/// let hir = parse(r"foo|[A-Z]+bar")?;
/// let got = Extractor::new().kind(ExtractKind::Suffix).extract(&hir);
/// // Since 'foo' gets to a match state, it is considered exact. But 'bar'
/// // does not because of the '[A-Z]+', and thus is marked inexact.
/// let expected = Seq::from_iter([
///     Literal::exact("foo"),
///     Literal::inexact("bar"),
/// ]);
/// assert_eq!(expected, got);
///
/// # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
/// ```

/// the sequence is `[sam, samwise]` and leftmost-first matching is used, then
/// `samwise` can never match and the sequence is equivalent to `[sam]`.
///
/// # States of a sequence
///
/// A `Seq` has a few different logical states to consider:
///
/// * The sequence can represent "any" literal. When this happens, the set does
/// not have a finite size. The purpose of this state is to inhibit callers
/// from making assumptions about what literals are required in order to match
/// a particular [`Hir`] expression. Generally speaking, when a set is in this
/// state, literal optimizations are inhibited. A good example of a regex that
/// will cause this sort of set to appear is `[A-Za-z]`. The character class
/// is just too big (and also too narrow) to be usefully expanded into 52
/// different literals. (Note that the decision for when a seq should become
/// infinite is determined by the caller. A seq itself has no hard-coded
/// limits.)
/// * The sequence can be empty, in which case, it is an affirmative statement
/// that there are no literals that can match the corresponding `Hir`.
/// Consequently, the `Hir` never matches any input. For example, `[a&&b]`.
/// * The sequence can be non-empty, in which case, at least one of the
/// literals must match in order for the corresponding `Hir` to match.

    /// the literals in this sequence. That is, when a match of a literal is

    /// of the regex. If it isn't, then much time will be spent starting and
    /// stopping the prefilter search and attempting to confirm the match only
    /// to have it fail.
    ///
    /// Some of those heuristics might be:
    ///
    /// * Identifying a common prefix from a larger sequence of literals, and
    /// shrinking the sequence down to that single common prefix.
    /// * Rejecting the sequence entirely if it is believed to result in very
    /// high false positive rate. When this happens, the sequence is made
    /// infinite.
    /// * Shrinking the sequence to a smaller number of literals representing
    /// prefixes, but not shrinking it so much as to make literals too short.
    /// (A sequence with very short literals, of 1 or 2 bytes, will typically
    /// result in a higher false positive rate.)
    ///
    /// Optimization should only be run once extraction is complete. Namely,
    /// optimization may make assumptions that do not compose with other
    /// operations in the middle of extraction. For example, optimization will
    /// reduce `[E(sam), E(samwise)]` to `[E(sam)]`, but such a transformation

        // in reverse, and then [bc, ac, c] ordering is indeed correct from
        // that perspective. We also test a few more equivalent regexes, and
        // we get the same result, so it is consistent at least I suppose.
        //
        // The reason why this isn't an issue is that it only messes up
        // preference order, and currently, suffixes are never used in a
        // context where preference order matters. For prefixes it matters
        // because we sometimes want to use prefilters without confirmation
        // when all of the literals are exact (and there's no look-around). But
        // we never do that for suffixes. Any time we use suffixes, we always
        // include a confirmation step. If that ever changes, then it's likely
