// We fill the haystack with aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...aaaab.
// That gives us:
// - an easy search: 'b'
// - a medium search: 'ab'.  That means every letter is a possible match.
// - a pathological search: 'aaaaaa.......aaaaab' (half as many a's as haytack)
// We benchmark case-sensitive and case-insensitive versions of
// three memmem implementations:
// - memmem() from memutil.h
// - search() from STL
// - memmatch(), a custom implementation using memchr and memcmp.

// Conclusions:
//
// The following recommendations are based on the sample results above. 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.
