;;; 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.
