/* ----- shift-or filtering -------------- */

/*
 * Description of algorithm:
 *
 * Multiple patterns are added to the filter.
 * The filter retains an approximation of these patterns, which can lead to
 * false positive matches, but not false negative matches.
 *
 * For each position in the filter we retain what qgrams can match at that
 * position, for example (if we'd use characters as qgrams):
 * pattern1: atu
 * pattern2: bzf
 * pattern3: xat
 * 
 * filter accepts:
 * [abx][tza][uft]
 *
 * But it also accepts (false positives):
 * azu, azf, azt, ...
 *
 * It doesn't however accept:
 * aaa, atz, ...
 *
 * This is implemented by having a bit-level state-machine with MAXSOPATLEN (=32) states, 
 * each active bit meaning that a state is active.
 * 
 * The states are activated sequentially, eachtransition decision is made 
 * considering if we can accept the character at position X. 
 * Since we can start a match at any position, position 0 is
 * reactivated each time.
 * When the last position is activated, the filter reports a match.
 * If we can't accept the character at position X, the state remains inactive,
 * and further states aren't activated (unless we activate this state in the
 * future).
 *
 * Essentially this is an automaton like this:
 *
 *  /\    (a|b|x)        (t|z|a)        (u|f|t)
 * [S1] ---------> [S2] -------> [S3] ---------> [S4] -> match
 *  \_______________/             |               
 *  \_____________________________/               
 *
 *
 * But we are tracking multiple active states at each time (or run N automatons
 * in parallel if you like, N = number of states).
 *
 * We can have S3 and S2 active, meaning that if the next character is
 * acceptable, it transitions to S1,S3 and S4 being active, otherwise it
 * transitions to S1 being active.
 *
 * Active states can either be represented as a binary 1 or 0, and using
 * bit-shifting and masking.
 * If we choose 1, we must use &, and after shifting always reactivate bit 0.
 * If we choose 0, we must use |, and after shifting we don't need to do
 * anything (since by shifting a 0 is implicitly introduced).
 *
 * This file implements the latter (shift-or) method.
 *
 * The discussion above considered pattern to be of same length (or truncated to
 * be so). In reality patterns are of variable length, and we often have short
 * pattern.
 *
 * Thus another bitmap was introduced, meaning that if (end[Q] == set), then
 * a pattern can end at this position.
 * Also we would fill the pattern's position filters quite quickly with only 256
 * choices for a position, so the algorithm uses overlapping qgrams of length 2:
 * 'abcd' is 3 qgrams: 'ab','bc','cd'
 *
 * The algorithm is very sensitive to the end[Q] filter, since it can have false
 * positives due to short patterns!
 * For optimal performance we need:
 *   - patterns as long as possible
 *   - probability for end[Q] to match low (avoid 0000, and other common case
 *   - choose the most "diverse" subset from a long pattern
 *
 * diverse = refering to what we are scanning, so that the filter rarely
 * matches, so this actually means that we *want* to avoid adding more
 * characters to the filter, if we have 2 patterns:
 * abxfg, and dalabxpo, it may be preferable to shift the 2nd one so that we
 * don't add new character at the beginning.
 *
 * With NDB signatures there are more challenges to overcome:
 *    e8??0000000aa
 *
 *    will make the filter accept:
 *    e8<all-256-values-here>, <all-256-values>00, ... 000000aa
 *
 *    We should delay the pattern end as long as possible, especially if it is  0000
 *    The problem is that now the filter accepts 0000 on position 3, regardless
 *    of what we have on position 1 (even if we have something else than e8), so
 *    we have to be very careful not to allow 0000 on first position too,
 *    otherwise the filter will happily accept 000000000000.
 *
 * To optimize cache usage there are 2 end filters, one character (fits L1), and one qgram
 * based (fits L2), both must match for the filter to consider it a match.
