[PATCH] [PoC] A simpler find_unique_prefixes() implementation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Implement find_unique_prefixes() by sorting the prefix items
lexicographically and then looking for unique prefixes in adjacent
pairs.  It's definitely shorter than the current hashmap-based
implementation (101 vs 149 lines), subjectively easier to follow, and
hopefully less buggy (some of the new elements in the test trigger
failure with the hashmap).

TODO: deal multi-byte caracter sequences, make the test tool more
      developer-friendly
