Gnulib module: memmem or memmem-simple
Both modules implement the same replacement for the @code{memmem} function
with the @code{memmem} module providing a replacement on more platforms where
the existing @code{memmem} function has a quadratic worst-case complexity.
Portability problems fixed by either Gnulib module @code{memmem-simple}
or @code{memmem}:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 5.2.1, OpenBSD 4.0, Minix 3.1.8, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 10, mingw, MSVC 14.
@item
This function has reversed arguments on some older platforms:
Linux libc 5.0.9
@item
This function can trigger false positives for long periodic needles on
some platforms:
glibc 2.12, Cygwin 1.7.7.
@item
This function returns incorrect values in some cases, such as when
given an empty needle:
glibc <= 2.0, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.5.x.
@end itemize
Performance problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{memmem}:
@itemize
@item
This function has quadratic instead of linear worst-case complexity on some
platforms:
glibc 2.8, FreeBSD 6.2, NetBSD 9.0, AIX 5.1, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.5.x.
Note for small needles the replacement may be slower.
