Disclosure: I'm the author of the
memchr
crate.You mention the
memchr
crate, but you don't seem to have benchmarked it. Instead, you benchmarked theneedle
crate (last updated 7 years ago). Can you explain a bit more about your methodology?The
memchr
crate in particular doesn't just use Rabin-Karp. It also uses Two-Way. And SIMD (with support for x86-64, aarch64 and wasm32).FYI: Not the author, just found it to be an interesting read. Notified the author, so lets hope he joins in for a nice discussion.
Ah gotya, thanks!
