Nelson Vides 74bb90a3cd SWAR-optimize ASCII fast paths in String.length and String.slice (#15255)
Add 56-bit SWAR (SIMD Within A Register) acceleration to skip_length/2
and byte_size_remaining_at/2, processing 8 ASCII bytes per iteration
instead of one. Uses the Mycroft zero-byte detection algorithm to
validate that 7+1 bytes are all ASCII with no \r in a single guard.

This mirrors the approach taken in OTP's string module
(OTP https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/10948).

defmodule String do
@moduledoc ~S"""
Strings in Elixir are UTF-8 encoded binaries.
Strings in Elixir are a sequence of Unicode characters,
typically written between double quoted strings, such
as `"hello"` and `"héllò"`.
In case a string must have a double-quote in itself,
the double quotes must be escaped with a backslash,
for example: `"this is a string with \"double quotes\""`.
You can concatenate two strings with the `<>/2` operator:
iex> "hello" <> " " <> "world"
"hello world"
The functions in this module act according to
[The Unicode Standard, Version 17.0.0](https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode17.0.0/).
## Interpolation
Strings in Elixir also support interpolation. This allows
you to place some value in the middle of a string by using
the `#{}` syntax:
iex> name = "joe"
iex> "hello #{name}"
"hello joe"
Any Elixir expression is valid inside the interpolation.
If a string is given, the string is interpolated as is.
If any other value is given, Elixir will attempt to convert
it to a string using the `String.Chars` protocol. This
allows, for example, to output an integer from the interpolation:
iex> "2 + 2 = #{2 + 2}"
"2 + 2 = 4"
In case the value you want to interpolate cannot be
converted to a string, because it doesn't have a human
textual representation, a protocol error will be raised.
## Escape characters
Besides allowing double-quotes to be escaped with a backslash,
strings also support the following escape characters:
* `\0` - Null byte
* `\a` - Bell
* `\b` - Backspace
* `\t` - Horizontal tab
* `\n` - Line feed (New lines)
* `\v` - Vertical tab
* `\f` - Form feed
* `\r` - Carriage return
* `\e` - Command Escape
* `\s` - Space
* `\#` - Returns the `#` character itself, skipping interpolation
* `\\` - Single backslash
* `\xNN` - A byte represented by the hexadecimal `NN`
* `\uNNNN` - A Unicode code point represented by `NNNN`
* `\u{NNNNNN}` - A Unicode code point represented by `NNNNNN`
Note it is generally not advised to use `\xNN` in Elixir
strings, as introducing an invalid byte sequence would
make the string invalid. If you have to introduce a
character by its hexadecimal representation, it is best
to work with Unicode code points, such as `\uNNNN`. In fact,
understanding Unicode code points can be essential when doing
low-level manipulations of string, so let's explore them in
detail next.
## Unicode and code points
In order to facilitate meaningful communication between computers
across multiple languages, a standard is required so that the ones
and zeros on one machine mean the same thing when they are transmitted
to another. The Unicode Standard acts as an official registry of
virtually all the characters we know: this includes characters from
classical and historical texts, emoji, and formatting and control
characters as well.
Unicode organizes all of the characters in its repertoire into code
charts, and each character is given a unique numerical index. This
numerical index is known as a Code Point.
In Elixir you can use a `?` in front of a character literal to reveal
its code point:
iex> ?a
97
iex> ?ł
322
Note that most Unicode code charts will refer to a code point by its
hexadecimal (hex) representation, e.g. `97` translates to `0061` in hex,
and we can represent any Unicode character in an Elixir string by
using the `\u` escape character followed by its code point number:
iex> "\u0061" === "a"
true
iex> 0x0061 = 97 = ?a
97
The hex representation will also help you look up information about a
code point, e.g. [https://codepoints.net/U+0061](https://codepoints.net/U+0061)
has a data sheet all about the lower case `a`, a.k.a. code point 97.
Remember you can get the hex presentation of a number by calling
`Integer.to_string/2`:
iex> Integer.to_string(?a, 16)
"61"
## UTF-8 encoded and encodings
Now that we understand what the Unicode standard is and what code points
are, we can finally talk about encodings. Whereas the code point is **what**
we store, an encoding deals with **how** we store it: encoding is an
implementation. In other words, we need a mechanism to convert the code
point numbers into bytes so they can be stored in memory, written to disk, and such.
Elixir uses UTF-8 to encode its strings, which means that code points are
encoded as a series of 8-bit bytes. UTF-8 is a **variable width** character
encoding that uses one to four bytes to store each code point. It is capable
of encoding all valid Unicode code points. Let's see an example:
iex> string = "héllo"
"héllo"
iex> String.length(string)
5
iex> byte_size(string)
6
Although the string above has 5 characters, it uses 6 bytes, as two bytes
are used to represent the character `é`.
## Grapheme clusters
This module also works with the concept of grapheme cluster
(from now on referenced as graphemes). Graphemes can consist
of multiple code points that may be perceived as a single character
by readers. For example, "é" can be represented either as a single
"e with acute" code point, as seen above in the string `"héllo"`,
or as the letter "e" followed by a "combining acute accent"
(two code points):
iex> string = "\u0065\u0301"
"é"
iex> byte_size(string)
3
iex> String.length(string)
1
iex> String.codepoints(string)
["e", "́"]
iex> String.graphemes(string)
["é"]
Although it looks visually the same as before, the example above
is made of two characters, it is perceived by users as one.
Graphemes can also be two characters that are interpreted as one
by some languages. For example, some languages may consider "ch"
as a single character. However, since this information depends on
the locale, it is not taken into account by this module.
In general, the functions in this module rely on the Unicode
Standard, but do not contain any of the locale specific behavior.
More information about graphemes can be found in the [Unicode
Standard Annex #29](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/).
For converting a binary to a different encoding and for Unicode
normalization mechanisms, see Erlang's [`:unicode`](`:unicode`) module.
## String and binary operations
To act according to the Unicode Standard, many functions
in this module run in linear time, as they need to traverse
the whole string considering the proper Unicode code points.
For example, `String.length/1` will take longer as
the input grows. On the other hand, `Kernel.byte_size/1` always runs
in constant time (i.e. regardless of the input size).
This means often there are performance costs in using the
functions in this module, compared to the more low-level
operations that work directly with binaries:
* `Kernel.binary_part/3` - retrieves part of the binary
* `Kernel.bit_size/1` and `Kernel.byte_size/1` - size related functions
* `Kernel.is_bitstring/1` and `Kernel.is_binary/1` - type-check function
* Plus a number of functions for working with binaries (bytes)
in the [`:binary` module](`:binary`)
A `utf8` modifier is also available inside the binary syntax `<<>>`.
It can be used to match code points out of a binary/string:
iex> <<eacute::utf8>> = "é"
iex> eacute
233
See the [*Patterns and Guards* guide](patterns-and-guards.md) and the documentation for
[`<<>>`](`<<>>/1`) for more information on binary pattern matching.
You can also fully convert a string into a list of integer code points,
known as "charlists" in Elixir, by calling `String.to_charlist/1`:
iex> String.to_charlist("héllo")
[104, 233, 108, 108, 111]
If you would rather see the underlying bytes of a string, instead of
its codepoints, a common trick is to concatenate the null byte `<<0>>`
to it:
iex> "héllo" <> <<0>>
<<104, 195, 169, 108, 108, 111, 0>>
Alternatively, you can view a string's binary representation by
passing an option to `IO.inspect/2`:
IO.inspect("héllo", binaries: :as_binaries)
#=> <<104, 195, 169, 108, 108, 111>>
## Self-synchronization
The UTF-8 encoding is self-synchronizing. This means that
if malformed data (i.e., data that is not possible according
to the definition of the encoding) is encountered, only one
code point needs to be rejected.
This module relies on this behavior to ignore such invalid
characters. For example, `length/1` will return
a correct result even if an invalid code point is fed into it.
In other words, this module expects invalid data to be detected
elsewhere, usually when retrieving data from the external source.
For example, a driver that reads strings from a database will be
responsible to check the validity of the encoding. `String.chunk/2`
can be used for breaking a string into valid and invalid parts.
## Compile binary patterns
Many functions in this module work with patterns. For example,
`String.split/3` can split a string into multiple strings given
a pattern. This pattern can be a string, a list of strings or
a compiled pattern:
iex> String.split("foo bar", " ")
["foo", "bar"]
iex> String.split("foo bar!", [" ", "!"])
["foo", "bar", ""]
iex> pattern = :binary.compile_pattern([" ", "!"])
iex> String.split("foo bar!", pattern)
["foo", "bar", ""]
The compiled pattern is useful when the same match will
be done over and over again. Note though that the compiled
pattern cannot be stored in a module attribute as the pattern
is generated at runtime and does not survive compile time.

@doc ~S"""
Divides a string into parts based on a pattern.
Returns a list of these parts.
The `pattern` may be a string, a list of strings, a regular expression, or a
compiled pattern.
The string is split into as many parts as possible by
default, but can be controlled via the `:parts` option.
Empty strings are only removed from the result if the
`:trim` option is set to `true`.
When the pattern used is a regular expression, the string is
split using `Regex.split/3`.
If the pattern cannot be found, a list containing the original
string will be returned.
## Options
* `:parts` (positive integer or `:infinity`) - the string
is split into at most as many parts as this option specifies.
If `:infinity`, the string will be split into all possible
parts. Defaults to `:infinity`.
* `:trim` (boolean) - if `true`, empty strings are removed from
the resulting list.
This function also accepts all options accepted by `Regex.split/3`
if `pattern` is a regular expression.
## Examples
Splitting with a string pattern:
iex> String.split("a,b,c", ",")
["a", "b", "c"]
iex> String.split("a,b,c", ",", parts: 2)
["a", "b,c"]
iex> String.split(" a b c ", " ", trim: true)
["a", "b", "c"]
A list of patterns:
iex> String.split("1,2 3,4", [" ", ","])
["1", "2", "3", "4"]
A regular expression:
iex> String.split("a,b,c", ~r{,})
["a", "b", "c"]
iex> String.split("a,b,c", ~r{,}, parts: 2)
["a", "b,c"]
iex> String.split(" a b c ", ~r{\s}, trim: true)
["a", "b", "c"]
iex> String.split("abc", ~r{b}, include_captures: true)
["a", "b", "c"]
A compiled pattern:
iex> pattern = :binary.compile_pattern([" ", ","])
iex> String.split("1,2 3,4", pattern)
["1", "2", "3", "4"]
Splitting on empty string returns graphemes:
iex> String.split("abc", "")
["", "a", "b", "c", ""]
iex> String.split("abc", "", trim: true)
["a", "b", "c"]
iex> String.split("abc", "", parts: 1)
["abc"]
iex> String.split("abc", "", parts: 3)
["", "a", "bc"]
Splitting on a non-existing pattern returns the original string:
iex> String.split("abc", ",")
["abc"]
Be aware that this function can split within or across grapheme boundaries.
For example, take the grapheme "é" which is made of the characters
"e" and the acute accent. The following will split the string into two parts:
iex> String.split(String.normalize("é", :nfd), "e")
["", "́"]
However, if "é" is represented by the single character "e with acute"
accent, then it will split the string into just one part:
iex> String.split(String.normalize("é", :nfc), "e")
["é"]
When using both the `:trim` and the `:parts` option, the empty values
are removed as the parts are computed (if any). No trimming happens
after all parts are computed:
iex> String.split(" a b c ", " ", trim: true, parts: 2)
["a", " b c "]
iex> String.split(" a b c ", " ", trim: true, parts: 3)
["a", "b", " c "]

* `:nfd` - Normalization Form Canonical Decomposition.
Characters are decomposed by canonical equivalence, and
multiple combining characters are arranged in a specific
order.
* `:nfc` - Normalization Form Canonical Composition.
Characters are decomposed and then recomposed by canonical equivalence.
* `:nfkd` - Normalization Form Compatibility Decomposition.
Characters are decomposed by compatibility equivalence, and
multiple combining characters are arranged in a specific
order.
* `:nfkc` - Normalization Form Compatibility Composition.
Characters are decomposed and then recomposed by compatibility equivalence.
## Examples

Converts all characters in the given string to uppercase according to `mode`.
`mode` may be `:default`, `:ascii`, `:greek` or `:turkic`. The `:default` mode considers
all non-conditional transformations outlined in the Unicode standard. `:ascii`
uppercases only the letters a to z. `:greek` includes the context sensitive

@doc ~S"""
Returns a new string created by replacing occurrences of `pattern` in
`subject` with `replacement`.
The `subject` is always a string.
The `pattern` may be a string, a list of strings, a regular expression, or a
compiled pattern.
The `replacement` may be a string or a function that receives the matched
pattern and must return the replacement as a string or iodata.
By default it replaces all occurrences but this behavior can be controlled
through the `:global` option; see the "Options" section below.
## Options
* `:global` - (boolean) if `true`, all occurrences of `pattern` are replaced
with `replacement`, otherwise only the first occurrence is
replaced. Defaults to `true`
## Examples
iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ",", "-")
"a-b-c"
iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ",", "-", global: false)
"a-b,c"
The pattern may also be a list of strings and the replacement may also
be a function that receives the matches:
iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ["a", "c"], fn <<char>> -> <<char + 1>> end)
"b,b,d"
When the pattern is a regular expression, one can give `\N` or
`\g{N}` in the `replacement` string to access a specific capture in the
regular expression:
iex> String.replace("a,b,c", ~r/,(.)/, ",\\1\\g{1}")
"a,bb,cc"
Note that we had to escape the backslash escape character (i.e., we used `\\N`
instead of just `\N` to escape the backslash; same thing for `\\g{N}`). By
giving `\0`, one can inject the whole match in the replacement string.
A compiled pattern can also be given:
iex> pattern = :binary.compile_pattern(",")
iex> String.replace("a,b,c", pattern, "[]")
"a[]b[]c"
When an empty string is provided as a `pattern`, the function will treat it as
an implicit empty string between each grapheme and the string will be
interspersed. If an empty string is provided as `replacement` the `subject`
will be returned:
iex> String.replace("ELIXIR", "", ".")
".E.L.I.X.I.R."
iex> String.replace("ELIXIR", "", "")
"ELIXIR"
Be aware that this function can replace within or across grapheme boundaries.
For example, take the grapheme "é" which is made of the characters
"e" and the acute accent. The following will replace only the letter "e",
moving the accent to the letter "o":
iex> String.replace(String.normalize("é", :nfd), "e", "o")
"ó"
However, if "é" is represented by the single character "e with acute"
accent, then it won't be replaced at all:
iex> String.replace(String.normalize("é", :nfc), "e", "o")
"é"

Reverses the graphemes in given string.

"dcba"
iex> String.reverse("hello world")
"dlrow olleh"
iex> String.reverse("hello ∂og")
"go∂ olleh"
Keep in mind reversing the same string twice does
not necessarily yield the original string:
iex> "̀e"
"̀e"
iex> String.reverse("̀e")
"è"
iex> String.reverse(String.reverse("̀e"))
"è"
In the first example the accent is before the vowel, so
it is considered two graphemes. However, when you reverse
it once, you have the vowel followed by the accent, which
becomes one grapheme. Reversing it again will keep it as
one single grapheme.

Returns the next code point in a string.
The result is a tuple with the code point and the
remainder of the string or `nil` in case
the string reached its end.
As with other functions in the `String` module, `next_codepoint/1`
works with binaries that are invalid UTF-8. If the string starts
with a sequence of bytes that is not valid in UTF-8 encoding, the
first element of the returned tuple is a binary with the first byte.
## Examples
iex> String.next_codepoint("olá")
{"o", "lá"}
iex> invalid = "\x80\x80OK" # first two bytes are invalid in UTF-8
iex> {_, rest} = String.next_codepoint(invalid)

Binary pattern matching provides a similar way to decompose
a string:
iex> <<codepoint::utf8, rest::binary>> = "Elixir"
"Elixir"
iex> codepoint
69
iex> rest
"lixir"
though not entirely equivalent because `codepoint` comes as
an integer, and the pattern won't match invalid UTF-8.
Binary pattern matching, however, is simpler and more efficient,
so pick the option that better suits your use case.

Checks whether `string` contains only valid characters.
`algorithm` may be `:default` or `:fast_ascii`. Both algorithms are equivalent
from a validation perspective (they will always produce the same output), but
`:fast_ascii` can yield significant performance benefits in specific scenarios.
If anything else but a string is given as argument, it raises.
## Fast ASCII
If all of the following conditions are true, you may want to experiment with
the `:fast_ascii` algorithm to see if it yields performance benefits in your
specific scenario:
* You expect most of your strings to be longer than ~64 bytes
* You expect most of your strings to contain mostly ASCII codepoints
Note that the `:fast_ascii` algorithm does not affect correctness, you can
expect the output of `String.valid?/2` to be the same regardless of algorithm.
The only difference to be expected is one of performance, which can be
expected to improve roughly linearly in string length compared to the
`:default` algorithm.

@doc """
Returns a substring starting at (or after) `start_bytes` and of at most
the given `size_bytes`.
This function works on bytes and then adjusts the string to eliminate
truncated codepoints. This is useful when you have a string and you need
to guarantee it does not exceed a certain amount of bytes.
If the offset is greater than the number of bytes in the string, then it
returns `""`. Similar to `String.slice/2`, a negative `start_bytes`
will be adjusted to the end of the string (but in bytes).
This function does not guarantee the string won't have invalid codepoints,
it only guarantees to remove truncated codepoints immediately at the beginning
or the end of the slice.
## Examples
Consider the string "héllo". Let's see its representation:
iex> inspect("héllo", binaries: :as_binaries)
"<<104, 195, 169, 108, 108, 111>>"
Although the string has 5 characters, it is made of 6 bytes. Now imagine
we want to get only the first two bytes. To do so, let's use `binary_slice/3`,
which is unaware of codepoints:
iex> binary_slice("héllo", 0, 2)
<<104, 195>>
As you can see, this operation is unsafe and returns an invalid string.
That's because we cut the string in the middle of the bytes representing
"é". On the other hand, we could use `String.slice/3`:
iex> String.slice("héllo", 0, 2)
"hé"
While the above is correct, it has 3 bytes. If you have a requirement where
you need *at most* 2 bytes, the result would also be invalid. In such scenarios,
you can use this function, which will slice the given bytes, but clean up
the truncated codepoints:
iex> String.byte_slice("héllo", 0, 2)
"h"
Truncated codepoints at the beginning are also cleaned up:
iex> String.byte_slice("héllo", 2, 3)
"llo"
Note that, if you want to work on raw bytes, then you must use `binary_slice/3`
instead.
