<p>This is sub-module is useful for constructing byte based automatons that need
to embed UTF-8 decoding. The most common use of this module is in conjunction
with the <a href="../hir/struct.ClassUnicodeRange.html"><code>hir::ClassUnicodeRange</code></a> type.</p>
<p>See the documentation on the <code>Utf8Sequences</code> iterator for more details and
an example.</p>
<h1 id="wait-what-is-this" class="section-header"><a href="#wait-what-is-this">Wait, what is this?</a></h1>
<p>This is simplest to explain with an example. Let's say you wanted to test
whether a particular byte sequence was a Cyrillic character. One possible
scalar value range is <code>[0400-04FF]</code>. The set of allowed bytes for this
range can be expressed as a sequence of byte ranges:</p>
<div class='information'><div class='tooltip ignore'><span class='tooltiptext'>This example is not tested</span></div></div><div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered ignore">
[<span class="ident">D0</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">D3</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>]</pre></div>
<p>This is simple enough: simply encode the boundaries, <code>0400</code> encodes to
<code>D0 80</code> and <code>04FF</code> encodes to <code>D3 BF</code>, and create ranges from each
corresponding pair of bytes: <code>D0</code> to <code>D3</code> and <code>80</code> to <code>BF</code>.</p>
<p>However, what if you wanted to add the Cyrillic Supplementary characters to
your range? Your range might then become <code>[0400-052F]</code>. The same procedure
as above doesn't quite work because <code>052F</code> encodes to <code>D4 AF</code>. The byte ranges
you'd get from the previous transformation would be <code>[D0-D4][80-AF]</code>. However,
this isn't quite correct because this range doesn't capture many characters,
for example, <code>04FF</code> (because its last byte, <code>BF</code> isn't in the range <code>80-AF</code>).</p>
<p>Instead, you need multiple sequences of byte ranges:</p>
<div class='information'><div class='tooltip ignore'><span class='tooltiptext'>This example is not tested</span></div></div><div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered ignore">
[<span class="ident">D0</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">D3</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>] # <span class="ident">matches</span> <span class="ident">codepoints</span> <span class="number">0400</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="number">04FF</span>
[<span class="ident">D4</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">AF</span>] # <span class="ident">matches</span> <span class="ident">codepoints</span> <span class="number">0500</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="number">052F</span></pre></div>
<p>This gets even more complicated if you want bigger ranges, particularly if
they naively contain surrogate codepoints. For example, the sequence of byte
ranges for the basic multilingual plane (<code>[0000-FFFF]</code>) look like this:</p>
<div class='information'><div class='tooltip ignore'><span class='tooltiptext'>This example is not tested</span></div></div><div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered ignore">
[<span class="number">0</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="number">7F</span>]
[<span class="ident">C2</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">DF</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>]
[<span class="ident">E0</span>][<span class="ident">A0</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>]
[<span class="ident">E1</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">EC</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>]
[<span class="ident">ED</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="number">9F</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>]
[<span class="ident">EE</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">EF</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>][<span class="number">80</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">BF</span>]</pre></div>
<p>Note that the byte ranges above will <em>not</em> match any erroneous encoding of
UTF-8, including encodings of surrogate codepoints.</p>
<p>And, of course, for all of Unicode (<code>[000000-10FFFF]</code>):</p>

<p>This module automates the process of creating these byte ranges from ranges of
Unicode scalar values.</p>
<h1 id="lineage" class="section-header"><a href="#lineage">Lineage</a></h1>
<p>I got the idea and general implementation strategy from Russ Cox in his
<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160404141123/https://swtch.com/%7Ersc/regexp/regexp3.html">article on regexps</a> and RE2.
Russ Cox got it from Ken Thompson's <code>grep</code> (no source, folk lore?).
I also got the idea from
<a href="https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/ae93f4e7ac6a3908046391de35d4f50a0d3c59ca/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/util/automaton/UTF32ToUTF8.java">Lucene</a>,
which uses it for executing automata on their term index.</p>
