Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
It is O(n) in the length of the haystack (big) string, and has special
cases for short needle (little) strings, of one to four bytes, to avoid
excessive overhead.
There are a small set of nearly trivial cases where the startup overhead
of the musl implementation makes it slightly slower -- for example, a 31
byte needle that matches the beginning of the haystack. It's faster for
non-trivial cases, and significantly so for inputs that trigger worst-
case behaviour of the previous implementation. As an example, in my
tests a 16K needle that matches the end of a 64K haystack is nearly
2000x faster with this implementation.
