Provides a noncontiguous NFA implementation of Aho-Corasick.
This is a low-level API that generally only needs to be used in niche
circumstances. When possible, prefer using [`AhoCorasick`](crate::AhoCorasick)
instead of a noncontiguous NFA directly. Using an `NFA` directly is typically
only necessary when one needs access to the [`Automaton`] trait implementation.

/// A noncontiguous NFA implementation of Aho-Corasick.
///
/// When possible, prefer using [`AhoCorasick`](crate::AhoCorasick) instead of
/// this type directly. Using an `NFA` directly is typically only necessary
/// when one needs access to the [`Automaton`] trait implementation.
///
/// This NFA represents the "core" implementation of Aho-Corasick in this
/// crate. Namely, constructing this NFA involving building a trie and then
/// filling in the failure transitions between states, similar to what is
/// described in any standard textbook description of Aho-Corasick.
///
/// In order to minimize heap usage and to avoid additional construction costs,
/// this implementation represents the transitions of all states as distinct
/// sparse memory allocations. This is where it gets its name from. That is,
/// this NFA has no contiguous memory allocation for its transition table. Each
/// state gets its own allocation.
///
/// While the sparse representation keeps memory usage to somewhat reasonable
/// levels, it is still quite large and also results in somewhat mediocre
/// search performance. For this reason, it is almost always a good idea to
/// use a [`contiguous::NFA`](crate::nfa::contiguous::NFA) instead. It is
/// marginally slower to build, but has higher throughput and can sometimes use
/// an order of magnitude less memory. The main reason to use a noncontiguous
/// NFA is when you need the fastest possible construction time, or when a
/// contiguous NFA does not have the desired capacity. (The total number of NFA
/// states it can have is fewer than a noncontiguous NFA.)
///
/// # Example
///
/// This example shows how to build an `NFA` directly and use it to execute
/// [`Automaton::try_find`]:
///
/// ```
/// use aho_corasick::{
/// automaton::Automaton,
/// nfa::noncontiguous::NFA,
/// Input, Match,
/// };
///
/// let patterns = &["b", "abc", "abcd"];
/// let haystack = "abcd";
///
/// let nfa = NFA::new(patterns).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(
/// Some(Match::must(0, 1..2)),
/// nfa.try_find(&Input::new(haystack))?,
/// );
/// # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
/// ```
///
/// It is also possible to implement your own version of `try_find`. See the
/// [`Automaton`] documentation for an example.

///
/// Building failure transitions is the most interesting part of building
/// the Aho-Corasick automaton, because they are what allow searches to
/// be performed in linear time. Specifically, a failure transition is
/// a single transition associated with each state that points back to
/// the longest proper suffix of the pattern being searched. The failure
/// transition is followed whenever there exists no transition on the
/// current state for the current input byte. If there is no other proper
/// suffix, then the failure transition points back to the starting state.
///
/// For example, let's say we built an Aho-Corasick automaton with the
/// following patterns: 'abcd' and 'cef'. The trie looks like this:
///
/// ```ignore
/// a - S1 - b - S2 - c - S3 - d - S4*
/// /
/// S0 - c - S5 - e - S6 - f - S7*
/// ```
///
/// At this point, it should be fairly straight-forward to see how this
/// trie can be used in a simplistic way. At any given position in the
/// text we're searching (called the "subject" string), all we need to do
/// is follow the transitions in the trie by consuming one transition for
/// each byte in the subject string. If we reach a match state, then we can
/// report that location as a match.
///
/// The trick comes when searching a subject string like 'abcef'. We'll
/// initially follow the transition from S0 to S1 and wind up in S3 after
/// observng the 'c' byte. At this point, the next byte is 'e' but state
/// S3 has no transition for 'e', so the search fails. We then would need
/// to restart the search at the next position in 'abcef', which
/// corresponds to 'b'. The match would fail, but the next search starting
/// at 'c' would finally succeed. The problem with this approach is that
/// we wind up searching the subject string potentially many times. In
/// effect, this makes the algorithm have worst case `O(n * m)` complexity,
/// where `n ~ len(subject)` and `m ~ len(all patterns)`. We would instead
/// like to achieve a `O(n + m)` worst case complexity.
///
/// This is where failure transitions come in. Instead of dying at S3 in
/// the first search, the automaton can instruct the search to move to
/// another part of the automaton that corresponds to a suffix of what
/// we've seen so far. Recall that we've seen 'abc' in the subject string,
/// and the automaton does indeed have a non-empty suffix, 'c', that could
/// potentially lead to another match. Thus, the actual Aho-Corasick
/// automaton for our patterns in this case looks like this:
///
/// ```ignore
/// a - S1 - b - S2 - c - S3 - d - S4*
/// / /
/// / ----------------
/// / /
/// S0 - c - S5 - e - S6 - f - S7*
/// ```
///
/// That is, we have a failure transition from S3 to S5, which is followed
/// exactly in cases when we are in state S3 but see any byte other than
/// 'd' (that is, we've "failed" to find a match in this portion of our
/// trie). We know we can transition back to S5 because we've already seen
/// a 'c' byte, so we don't need to re-scan it. We can then pick back up
/// with the search starting at S5 and complete our match.
///
/// Adding failure transitions to a trie is fairly simple, but subtle. The
/// key issue is that you might have multiple failure transition that you
/// need to follow. For example, look at the trie for the patterns
/// 'abcd', 'b', 'bcd' and 'cd':
///
/// ```ignore
/// - a - S1 - b - S2* - c - S3 - d - S4*
/// / / /
/// / ------- -------
/// / / /
/// S0 --- b - S5* - c - S6 - d - S7*
/// \ /
/// \ --------
/// \ /
/// - c - S8 - d - S9*
/// ```
///
/// The failure transitions for this trie are defined from S2 to S5,
/// S3 to S6 and S6 to S8. Moreover, state S2 needs to track that it
/// corresponds to a match, since its failure transition to S5 is itself
/// a match state.
///
/// Perhaps simplest way to think about adding these failure transitions
/// is recursively. That is, if you know the failure transitions for every
/// possible previous state that could be visited (e.g., when computing the
/// failure transition for S3, you already know the failure transitions
/// for S0, S1 and S2), then you can simply follow the failure transition
/// of the previous state and check whether the incoming transition is
/// defined after following the failure transition.
///
/// For example, when determining the failure state for S3, by our
/// assumptions, we already know that there is a failure transition from
/// S2 (the previous state) to S5. So we follow that transition and check
/// whether the transition connecting S2 to S3 is defined. Indeed, it is,
/// as there is a transition from S5 to S6 for the byte 'c'. If no such
/// transition existed, we could keep following the failure transitions
/// until we reach the start state, which is the failure transition for
/// every state that has no corresponding proper suffix.
///
/// We don't actually use recursion to implement this, but instead, use a
/// breadth first search of the automaton. Our base case is the start
/// state, whose failure transition is just a transition to itself.
///
/// When building a leftmost automaton, we proceed as above, but only
/// include a subset of failure transitions. Namely, we omit any failure
/// transitions that appear after a match state in the trie. This is
/// because failure transitions always point back to a proper suffix of
/// what has been seen so far. Thus, following a failure transition after
/// a match implies looking for a match that starts after the one that has
/// already been seen, which is of course therefore not the leftmost match.
///
/// N.B. I came up with this algorithm on my own, and after scouring all of
/// the other AC implementations I know of (Perl, Snort, many on GitHub).
/// I couldn't find any that implement leftmost semantics like this.
/// Perl of course needs leftmost-first semantics, but they implement it
/// with a seeming hack at *search* time instead of encoding it into the
