/* $Revision: 1.1 $
 *
 * 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@osf.org>.
 * 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 code, 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.
