/* $Revision: 1.5 $
**
** Do shell-style pattern matching for ?, \, [], and * characters.
** Might not be robust in face of malformed patterns; e.g., "foo[a-"
** could cause a segmentation violation. It is 8bit clean.
**
** Written by Rich $alz, mirror!rs, Wed Nov 26 19:03:17 EST 1986.
** Rich $alz is now <rsalz@bbn.com>.
** April, 1991: Replaced mutually-recursive calls with in-line code
** for the star character.
**
** Special thanks to Lars Mathiesen <thorinn@diku.dk> for the ABORT code.
** This can greatly speed up failing wildcard patterns. For example:
** pattern: -*-*-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-m-*-*-*
** text 1: -adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
** text 2: -adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--12-120-75-75-X-70-iso8859-1
** Text 1 matches with 51 calls, while text 2 fails with 54 calls. Without
** the ABORT, then it takes 22310 calls to fail. Ugh. The following
** explanation is from Lars:
** The precondition that must be fulfilled is that DoMatch will consume
** at least one character in text. This is true if *p is neither '*' nor
** '\0'.) The last return has ABORT instead of FALSE to avoid quadratic
** behaviour in cases like pattern "*a*b*c*d" with text "abcxxxxx". With
** FALSE, each star-loop has to run to the end of the text; with ABORT
** only the last one does.
**
** Once the control of one instance of DoMatch enters the star-loop, that
** instance will return either TRUE or ABORT, and any calling instance
** will therefore return immediately after (without calling recursively
** again). In effect, only one star-loop is ever active. It would be
** possible to modify the code to maintain this context explicitly,
** eliminating all recursive calls at the cost of some complication and
** loss of clarity (and the ABORT stuff seems to be unclear enough by
** itself). I think it would be unwise to try to get this into a
** released version unless you have a good test data base to try it out
** on.
