Release Notes: BitMagic 7.9.3

  1. Improved bm::sparse_vector_scanner<>::pipeline::set_search_mask()
    with ability to specify AND mask. Search mask is very useful optimization tool
    for cases when search can be limited/prunned by a prior knoweledge or a prior search on a more selective index.
    SQL example: Field1 = 10 AND Field2 IN ('value1', 'value2')
    One side of an SQL expression Field1 = 10 as a bit-vector can now be fed into a
    pipeline index-free search scanner to potentially make search significantly faster.

  2. bm::str_sparse_vector<> - fixed a few bugs related to processing of succinct vectors with NULL values.

  3. New API bm::str_sparse_vector<>::compare() - optimized comparison for construction of sort
    method taking two indexes of elements to perform comparison.

  4. Optimizations for SSE2, SSE4.2 code for logical set subtraction (AND NOT).

  5. Minor optimizations of bm::aggregator<> - collection of algorithms for logical expression search.

  6. All succinct vectors: Implemented new API functions for bulk
    set_null() and clear() of vector elements.
    New methods take bm::bvector<> as an input to set/clear marked elements.
    New operations are significantly faster than random access element assignments.

  7. All succinct vectors: New method try_get() for conditional access
    to not NULL elements. New method is somewhat faster than separate is_null()/get() calls.

  8. Integer succinct vectors: optimizations of random element access (10% gain in some cases).

  9. New example on how to use algorithms for bit-vector traversal: bm::for_each_bit(),
    bm::for_each_bit_range(), bm::visit_each_bit(), bm::visit_each_bit_range().

  10. Minor optimizations for Rank-Select index construction and search.
