111 *
112 * This object holds the information needed to do a Collation sensitive Boyer-Moore search. It encapulates
113 * the pattern, the "bad character" and "good suffix" tables, the Collator-based data needed to compute them,
114 * and a reference to the text being searched.
115 *
116 * To do a search, you first need to get a <code>UCD</code> object by calling <code>ucd_open</code>.
117 * Then you construct a <code>BMS</code> object from the <code>UCD</code> object, the pattern
118 * string and the target string. Then you call the <code>search</code> method. Here's a code sample:
119 *
120 * <pre>
121 * void boyerMooreExample(UCollator *collator, UChar *pattern, int32_t patternLen, UChar *target, int32_t targetLength)

124 * int32_t offset = 0, start = -1, end = -1;
125 * UCD *ucd = NULL);
126 * BMS *bms = NULL;
127 *
128 * ucd = ucd_open(collator, &status);
129 * if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
130 * // could not create a UCD object
131 * return;
132 * }
133 *
134 * BMS *bms = bms_open(ucd, pattern, patternLength, target, targetlength, &status);
135 * if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
136 * // could not create a BMS object
137 * ucd_close(ucd);
138 * return;
139 * }
140 *
141 *
142 * // Find all matches
143 * while (bms_search(bms, offset, &start, &end)) {
144 * // process the match between start and end
145 * ...
146 *
147 * // advance past the match
148 * offset = end;
149 * }
150 *
151 * // at this point, if offset == 0, there were no matches
152 * if (offset == 0) {
153 * // handle the case of no matches
154 * }
155 *
156 * bms_close(bms);
157 * ucd_close(ucd);
158 *
159 * // UCD objects are cached, so the call to
160 * // ucd_close doesn't delete the object.
161 * // Call this if you don't need the object any more.
162 * ucd_flushCache();
163 * }
164 * </pre>
165 *
166 * NOTE: This is a technology preview. The final version of this API may not bear any resenblence to this API.
167 *
168 * Knows linitations:
169 * 1) Backwards searching has not been implemented.
170 *
171 * 2) For Han and Hangul characters, this code ignores any Collation tailorings. In general,
172 * this isn't a problem, but in Korean locals, at strength 1, Hangul characters are tailored
173 * to be equal to Han characters with the same pronounciation. Because this code ignroes
174 * tailorings, searching for a Hangul character will not find a Han character and visa-versa.
175 *
176 * 3) In some cases, searching for a pattern that needs to be normalized and ends
177 * in a discontiguous contraction may fail. The only known cases of this are with
178 * the Tibetan script. For example searching for the pattern
179 * "\u0F7F\u0F80\u0F81\u0F82\u0F83\u0F84\u0F85" will fail. (This case is artificial. We've
180 * been unable to find a pratical, real-world example of this failure.)
