C/Migemo library

C/Migemo is regexp pattern generator/expander.

C/Migemo is a C-language implementation of Migemo (Ruby/Migemo). Software utilizing the C/Migemo library gains the ability to perform incremental Japanese searches using Romaji input. Because it is implemented in C, it is easier to integrate with the vast amount of software written in C compared to the original Ruby/Migemo, and —presumably— it offers improved execution speed.

The original Migemo is a tool devised by Satoru Takabayashi that converts Romaji input into regular expressions for Japanese text searching. It was implemented using Ruby and Emacs Lisp to enable incremental Japanese searches in Emacs while typing in Romaji.
