4 : : * Levenshtein distance implementation.
5 : : *
6 : : * Original author: Joe Conway <mail@joeconway.com>
7 : : *
8 : : * This file is included by varlena.c twice, to provide matching code for (1)
9 : : * Levenshtein distance with custom costings, and (2) Levenshtein distance with
10 : : * custom costings and a "max" value above which exact distances are not
11 : : * interesting. Before the inclusion, we rely on the presence of the inline
12 : : * function rest_of_char_same().
13 : : *
14 : : * Written based on a description of the algorithm by Michael Gilleland found
15 : : * at http://www.merriampark.com/ld.htm. Also looked at levenshtein.c in the
16 : : * PHP 4.0.6 distribution for inspiration. Configurable penalty costs
17 : : * extension is introduced by Volkan YAZICI <volkan.yazici@gmail.com.

29 : : * Calculates Levenshtein distance metric between supplied strings, which are
30 : : * not necessarily null-terminated.
31 : : *
32 : : * source: source string, of length slen bytes.
33 : : * target: target string, of length tlen bytes.
34 : : * ins_c, del_c, sub_c: costs to charge for character insertion, deletion,
35 : : * and substitution respectively; (1, 1, 1) costs suffice for common
36 : : * cases, but your mileage may vary.
37 : : * max_d: if provided and >= 0, maximum distance we care about; see below.
38 : : * trusted: caller is trusted and need not obey MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN.
39 : : *
40 : : * One way to compute Levenshtein distance is to incrementally construct
41 : : * an (m+1)x(n+1) matrix where cell (i, j) represents the minimum number
42 : : * of operations required to transform the first i characters of s into
43 : : * the first j characters of t. The last column of the final row is the
44 : : * answer.
45 : : *
46 : : * We use that algorithm here with some modification. In lieu of holding
47 : : * the entire array in memory at once, we'll just use two arrays of size
48 : : * m+1 for storing accumulated values. At each step one array represents
49 : : * the "previous" row and one is the "current" row of the notional large
50 : : * array.
51 : : *
52 : : * If max_d >= 0, we only need to provide an accurate answer when that answer
53 : : * is less than or equal to max_d. From any cell in the matrix, there is
54 : : * theoretical "minimum residual distance" from that cell to the last column
55 : : * of the final row. This minimum residual distance is zero when the
56 : : * untransformed portions of the strings are of equal length (because we might
57 : : * get lucky and find all the remaining characters matching) and is otherwise
58 : : * based on the minimum number of insertions or deletions needed to make them
59 : : * equal length. The residual distance grows as we move toward the upper
60 : : * right or lower left corners of the matrix. When the max_d bound is
61 : : * usefully tight, we can use this property to avoid computing the entirety
62 : : * of each row; instead, we maintain a start_column and stop_column that
63 : : * identify the portion of the matrix close to the diagonal which can still
64 : : * affect the final answer.
