Improving implementation of edit distance string extension by:

  • Using only two arrays n + 1 instead of an m x n matrix.
  • Trimming common prefix and suffix as an optimization for reducing size/complexity
  • Tests for those cases were added.

Been playing around with ways to improve it more in https://github.com/LucianoPAlmeida/strings

Benchmarks
Code:

var benchmark = Benchmark(title: "Edit distance")
let inputGeneratorCommon: (Int) -> (String, String) = { size in
    let common = String(repeating: "a", count: size / 4)
    let s1 = String(repeating: "foo", count: (size / 2) / 3)
    let s2 = String(repeating: "bar", count: (size / 2) / 3)
    return (common + s1 + common, common + s2 + common)
}

let inputGeneratorDifferent: (Int) -> (String, String) = { size in
  let s1 = String(repeating: "foo", count: size)
  let s2 = String(repeating: "bar", count: size)
  return (s1, s2)
}

benchmark.registerInputGenerator(inputGeneratorCommon)
benchmark.add(
  title: "Opt editDistance common prefix/suffix",
  input: (String, String).self,
  maxSize: 1000
) { input in
  return { timer in
    let d = input.0.editDistance(to: input.1)
    blackHole(d)
  }
}

benchmark.add(
  title: "editDistance common prefix/suffix",
  input: (String, String).self,
  maxSize: 1000
) { input in
  return { timer in
    let d = input.0.editDistanceOld(to: input.1)
    blackHole(d)
  }
}

benchmark.registerInputGenerator(inputGeneratorDifferent)
benchmark.add(
  title: "Opt editDistance",
  input: (String, String).self,
  maxSize: 1000
) { input in
  return { timer in
    let d = input.0.editDistance(to: input.1)
    blackHole(d)
  }
}

benchmark.add(
  title: "editDistance",
  input: (String, String).self,
  maxSize: 1000
) { input in
  return { timer in
    let d = input.0.editDistanceOld(to: input.1)
    blackHole(d)
  }
}

- Start of a fix for issue 446. After an initial read through the code
  it feels like there more @argument initializers than needed and this
  logic can probably be reudced and simplified.
- Fixes isOptional derivision for non-Optional @arguments with default
  values, however the simple solution doesn't work properly for Optional
  @arguments without a non-nil default value.
