* BMS
*
* This object holds the information needed to do a Collation sensitive Boyer-Moore search. It encapulates
* the pattern, the "bad character" and "good suffix" tables, the Collator-based data needed to compute them,
* and a reference to the text being searched.
*
* To do a search, you first need to get a <code>UCD</code> object by calling <code>ucd_open</code>.
* Then you construct a <code>BMS</code> object from the <code>UCD</code> object, the pattern
* string and the target string. Then you call the <code>search</code> method. Here's a code sample:
*
* <pre>
* void boyerMooreExample(UCollator *collator, UChar *pattern, int32_t patternLen, UChar *target, int32_t targetLength)
* {
* UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* int32_t offset = 0, start = -1, end = -1;
* UCD *ucd = NULL);
* BMS *bms = NULL;
*
* ucd = ucd_open(collator, &status);
* if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
* // could not create a UCD object
* return;
* }
*
* BMS *bms = bms_open(ucd, pattern, patternLength, target, targetlength, &status);
* if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
* // could not create a BMS object
* ucd_close(ucd);
* return;
* }
*
*
* // Find all matches
* while (bms_search(bms, offset, &start, &end)) {
* // process the match between start and end
* ...
*
* // advance past the match
* offset = end;
* }
*
* // at this point, if offset == 0, there were no matches
* if (offset == 0) {
* // handle the case of no matches
* }
*
* bms_close(bms);
* ucd_close(ucd);
*
* // UCD objects are cached, so the call to
* // ucd_close doesn't delete the object.
* // Call this if you don't need the object any more.
* ucd_flushCache();
* }
* </pre>
*
* NOTE: This is a technology preview. The final version of this API may not bear any resenblence to this API.
*
* Knows linitations:
* 1) Backwards searching has not been implemented.
*
* 2) For Han and Hangul characters, this code ignores any Collation tailorings. In general,
* this isn't a problem, but in Korean locals, at strength 1, Hangul characters are tailored
* to be equal to Han characters with the same pronounciation. Because this code ignroes
* tailorings, searching for a Hangul character will not find a Han character and visa-versa.
*
* 3) In some cases, searching for a pattern that needs to be normalized and ends
* in a discontiguous contraction may fail. The only known cases of this are with
* the Tibetan script. For example searching for the pattern
* "\u0F7F\u0F80\u0F81\u0F82\u0F83\u0F84\u0F85" will fail. (This case is artificial. We've
* been unable to find a pratical, real-world example of this failure.)
