31 * This file contains the index_ routines which used
32 * to be a scattered collection of stuff in access/genam.
36 * Scans are implemented as follows:
38 * `0' represents an invalid item pointer.
39 * `-' represents an unknown item pointer.
40 * `X' represents a known item pointers.
41 * `+' represents known or invalid item pointers.
42 * `*' represents any item pointers.
44 * State is represented by a triple of these symbols in the order of
45 * previous, current, next. Note that the case of reverse scans works
49 * (1) + + - + 0 0 (if the next item pointer is invalid)
50 * (2) + X - (otherwise)
51 * (3) * 0 0 * 0 0 (no change)
52 * (4) + X 0 X 0 0 (shift)
53 * (5) * + X + X - (shift, add unknown)
55 * All other states cannot occur.
57 * Note: It would be possible to cache the status of the previous and
58 * next item pointer using the flags.
