He also contributed some code to early versions of +GNU grep. + +Mike Haertel would like to thank Andrew Hume for many fascinating discussions +of string searching issues over the years. Hume & Sunday's excellent +paper on fast string searching (AT&T Bell Laboratories CSTR #156) +describes some of the history of the subject, as well as providing +exhaustive performance analysis of various implementation alternatives. +The inner loop of GNU grep is similar to Hume & Sunday's recommended +"Tuned Boyer Moore" inner loop. + +More work was done on regex.[ch] by Ulrich Drepper and Arnold +Robbins. Regex is now part of GNU C library, see this package +for complete details and credits. + +Arnold Robbins contributed to improve dfa.[ch].
