Well, flex will generate tables for you (actually, the whols scanner,
but if you understand principle you can use flex tables with your
scanner code). However, if your "language" is set of constant
strings, then generating tables is very easy: each prefix of your
strings gives you state (if two strings give the same prefix you
gent only one state). To generate transition tables for each
string assign final state. After that drop final letter one
by one. Generate state for obtained prefix and transition
from this state to state corresonding to longer string. For
example, if you have strings "abc" and "ac", you first create
(final) state for "abc", dropping last letter we get "ab" so
we add state for it and transition "ab", 'c' -> "abc", then
we drop "b" getting "a", add transition to "ab", then we
drop "a" getting empty string, so we add state for empty
string and transition to "a". We handle "ab" in similar way.
However, we need to notice that we already created state
for "a", so we just add new transition. After that we
are done with "ab" because prefix of "a" was handled earlier.
In practice it may be convenient to crate state for empty
string at start, it is initial state and creating it first
we can ensure that it gets fixerd number (say 1). "Generate
state" part is really simple: first we check if string
already appeared as prefix (say using linear search
over already generated prefixes), if yes we use its
state (number), if no we use value from a counter and
increase it.
Comb vector technique requires a bit more work. However,
note that many stats will have only one valid transition,
so clearly will compress quite well (we can put single
trasition in any free spot).
> then I can decide if the performance improvements compensate..
Well, I am saying that generating finite automanton is not
hard. I am not saying that it will give best performance.
Maybe, maybe not. If you have something compiler-like
in mind, then following bartc advice may be best way.
