33/* The region cache.
34
35   We want something that maps character positions in a buffer onto
36   values.  The representation should deal well with long runs of
37   characters with the same value.
38
39   The tricky part: the representation should be very cheap to
40   maintain in the presence of many insertions and deletions.  If the
41   overhead of maintaining the cache is too high, the speedups it
42   offers will be worthless.
43
44
45   We represent the region cache as a sorted array of struct
46   boundary's, each of which contains a buffer position and a value;
47   the value applies to all the characters after the buffer position,
48   until the position of the next boundary, or the end of the buffer.
49
50   The cache always has a boundary whose position is BUF_BEG, so
51   there's always a value associated with every character in the
52   buffer.  Since the cache is sorted, this is always the first
53   element of the cache.
54
55   To facilitate the insertion and deletion of boundaries in the
56   cache, the cache has a gap, just like Emacs's text buffers do.
57
58   To help boundary positions float along with insertions and
59   deletions, all boundary positions before the cache gap are stored
60   relative to BUF_BEG (buf) (thus they're >= 0), and all boundary
61   positions after the gap are stored relative to BUF_Z (buf) (thus
62   they're <= 0).  Look at BOUNDARY_POS to see this in action.  See
63   revalidate_region_cache to see how this helps.  */

509     then cutting back chead and ctail to head and tail would lose a
510     lot of information that we could preserve by revalidating the

512     information may be more costly than revalidating the cache now.

531     If the modified region has shrunk in size (deletions do this),
532     then the cache may now contain boundaries originally located in
533     text that doesn't exist any more.
534
535     If the modified region has increased in size (insertions do
536     this), then there may now be boundaries in the modified region
537     whose positions are wrong.
538
539     Even calling BOUNDARY_POS on boundaries still in the unchanged

548     and this function gets called every time any buffer modification
549     occurs.  Rather, we can clean up everything in one swell foop,

561
562   This function operates by simply throwing away everything it knows
563   about the modified region.  It doesn't care exactly which
564   insertions and deletions took place; it just tosses it all.
565
566   For example, if you insert a single character at the beginning of
567   the buffer, and a single character at the end of the buffer (for
568   example), without calling this function in between the two
569   insertions, then the entire cache will be freed of useful
570   information.  On the other hand, if you do manage to call this
571   function in between the two insertions, then the modified regions
572   will be small in both cases, no information will be tossed, and the
573   cache will know that it doesn't have knowledge of the first and
574   last characters any more.
575
576   Calling this function may be expensive; it does binary searches in
