Some regular expression constructs, most notably the "." match-anything metacharacter, produce a sheaf of parallel NFA arcs covering all possible colors (that is, character equivalence classes). We can make a noticeable improvement in the space and time needed to process large regexes by replacing such cases with a single arc bearing the special color code "RAINBOW". This requires only minor additional complication in places such as pull() and push(). Callers of pg_reg_getoutarcs() must now be prepared for the possibility of seeing a RAINBOW arc. For the one known user, contrib/pg_trgm, that's a net benefit since it cuts the number of arcs to be dealt with, and the handling isn't any different than for other colors that contain too many characters to be dealt with individually. This is part of a patch series that in total reduces the regex engine's runtime by about a factor of four on a large corpus of real-world regexes. Patch by me, reviewed by Joel Jacobson Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1340281.1613018383@sss.pgh.pa.us |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
