std::boyer_moore_horspool_searcher

Since C++17

Header: <functional>

A searcher suitable for use with the overload of std::search that implements the Boyer-Moore-Horspool string searching algorithm.

# Declarations

template< class RandomIt1,
class Hash = std::hash<typename std::iterator_traits<RandomIt1>::value_type>,
class BinaryPredicate = std::equal_to<> >
class boyer_moore_horspool_searcher;

(since C++17)

# Parameters

pat_first, pat_last: a pair of iterators designating the string to be searched for
hf: a callable object used to hash the elements of the string
pred: a callable object used to determine equality

# Return value

If the pattern [pat_first,pat_last) is empty, returns std::make_pair(first, first).
