;;; Commentary:

;; The "opt" in "regexp-opt" stands for "optim\\(al\\|i[sz]e\\)".
;;
;; This package generates a regexp from a given list of strings (which matches
;; one of those strings) so that the regexp generated by:
;;
;; (regexp-opt strings)
;;
;; is equivalent to, but more efficient than, the regexp generated by:
;;
;; (mapconcat 'regexp-quote strings "\\|")
;;
;; For example:
;;
;; (let ((strings '("cond" "if" "when" "unless" "while"
;; 		    "let" "let*" "progn" "prog1" "prog2"
;; 		    "save-restriction" "save-excursion" "save-window-excursion"
;; 		    "save-current-buffer" "save-match-data"
;; 		    "catch" "throw" "unwind-protect" "condition-case")))
;;   (concat "(" (regexp-opt strings t) "\\>"))
;;  => "(\\(c\\(atch\\|ond\\(ition-case\\)?\\)\\|if\\|let\\*?\\|prog[12n]\\|save-\\(current-buffer\\|excursion\\|match-data\\|restriction\\|window-excursion\\)\\|throw\\|un\\(less\\|wind-protect\\)\\|wh\\(en\\|ile\\)\\)\\>"
;;
;; Searching using the above example `regexp-opt' regexp takes approximately
;; two-thirds of the time taken using the equivalent `mapconcat' regexp.

;; Since this package was written to produce efficient regexps, not regexps
;; efficiently, it is probably not a good idea to in-line too many calls in
;; your code, unless you use the following trick with `eval-when-compile':
;;
;; (defvar definition-regexp
;;   (eval-when-compile
;;     (concat "^("
;;             (regexp-opt '("defun" "defsubst" "defmacro" "defalias"
;;                           "defvar" "defconst") t)
;;             "\\>")))
;;
;; The `byte-compile' code will be as if you had defined the variable thus:
;;
;; (defvar definition-regexp
;;   "^(\\(def\\(alias\\|const\\|macro\\|subst\\|un\\|var\\)\\)\\>")
;;
;; Note that if you use this trick for all instances of `regexp-opt' and
;; `regexp-opt-depth' in your code, regexp-opt.el would only have to be loaded
;; at compile time.  But note also that using this trick means that should
;; regexp-opt.el be changed, perhaps to fix a bug or to add a feature to
;; improve the efficiency of `regexp-opt' regexps, you would have to recompile
;; your code for such changes to have effect in your code.

;; Originally written for font-lock.el, from an idea from Stig's hl319.el, with
;; thanks for ideas also to Michael Ernst, Bob Glickstein, Dan Nicolaescu and
;; Stefan Monnier.
;; No doubt `regexp-opt' doesn't always produce optimal regexps, so code, ideas
;; or any other information to improve things are welcome.
;;
;; One possible improvement would be to compile '("aa" "ab" "ba" "bb")
;; into "[ab][ab]" rather than "a[ab]\\|b[ab]".  I'm not sure it's worth
;; it but if someone knows how to do it without going through too many
;; contortions, I'm all ears.

The basic idea is to find the shortest common prefix or suffix, remove it
and recurse.  If there is no prefix, we divide the list into two so that
\(at least) one half will have at least a one-character common prefix.

Also we delay the addition of grouping parenthesis as long as possible
until we're sure we need them, and try to remove one-character sequences
so we can use character sets rather than grouping parenthesis."
