However, // we have found that the performance of STL search can vary significantly // depending on compiler and standard library implementation. We recommend you // run the benchmarks for yourself on relevant platforms. // // If you need case-insensitive, STL search is slightly better than memmem for // all cases. // // Case-sensitive is more subtle: // Custom memmatch is _very_ fast at scanning, so if you have very few possible // matches in your haystack, that's the way to go. Performance drops // significantly with more matches. // // STL search is slightly faster than memmem in the medium and pathological // benchmarks. However, the performance of memmem is currently more dependable // across platforms and build configurations. namespace { constexpr int kHaystackSize = 10000; constexpr int64_t kHaystackSize64 = kHaystackSize;
