We want something that maps character positions in a buffer onto values. The representation should deal well with long runs of characters with the same value. The tricky part: the representation should be very cheap to maintain in the presence of many insertions and deletions. If the overhead of maintaining the cache is too high, the speedups it offers will be worthless. We represent the region cache as a sorted array of struct boundary's, each of which contains a buffer position and a value; the value applies to all the characters after the buffer position, until the position of the next boundary, or the end of the buffer. The cache always has a boundary whose position is BUF_BEG, so there's always a value associated with every character in the buffer. Since the cache is sorted, this is always the first element of the cache. To facilitate the insertion and deletion of boundaries in the cache, the cache has a gap, just like Emacs's text buffers do. To help boundary positions float along with insertions and deletions, all boundary positions before the cache gap are stored relative to BUF_BEG (buf) (thus they're >= 0), and all boundary positions after the gap are stored relative to BUF_Z (buf) (thus they're <= 0). Look at BOUNDARY_POS to see this in action. See revalidate_region_cache to see how this helps. */ struct boundary { int pos; int value; }; struct region_cache { /* A sorted array of locations where the known-ness of the buffer changes. */ struct boundary *boundaries; /* boundaries[gap_start ... gap_start + gap_len - 1] is the gap. */ int gap_start, gap_len; /* The number of elements allocated to boundaries, not including the gap. */ int cache_len; /* The areas that haven't changed since the last time we cleaned out invalid entries from the cache.
