+A Deterministic acyclic finite state automaton (DAFSA) is a compact
+representation of an unordered word list (dictionary).
+
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_acyclic_finite_state_automaton
+
+This python program converts a list of strings to a byte array in C++.
+This python program fetches strings and return values from a gperf file
+and generates a C++ file with a byte array representing graph that can be
+used as a memory efficient replacement for the perfect hash table.
+
+The input strings are assumed to consist of printable 7-bit ASCII characters
+and the return values are assumed to be one digit integers.
+
+In this program a DAFSA is a diamond shaped graph starting at a common
+source node and ending at a common sink node. All internal nodes contain
+a label and each word is represented by the labels in one path from
+the source node to the sink node.
+
+The following python represention is used for nodes:
+
+  Source node: [ children ]
+  Internal node: (label, [ children ])
+  Sink node: None
+
+The graph is first compressed by prefixes like a trie. In the next step
+suffixes are compressed so that the graph gets diamond shaped. Finally
+one to one linked nodes are replaced by nodes with the labels joined.
+
+The order of the operations is crucial since lookups will be performed
+starting from the source with no backtracking. Thus a node must have at
+most one child with a label starting by the same character. The output
+is also arranged so that all jumps are to increasing addresses, thus forward
+in memory.
+
+The generated output has suffix free decoding so that the sign of leading
+bits in a link (a reference to a child node) indicate if it has a size of one,
+two or three bytes and if it is the last outgoing link from the actual node.
+A node label is terminated by a byte with the leading bit set.
+
+The generated byte array can described by the following BNF:
+
+<byte> ::= < 8-bit value in range [0x00-0xFF] >
+
+<char> ::= < printable 7-bit ASCII character, byte in range [0x20-0x7F] >
+<end_char> ::= < char + 0x80, byte in range [0xA0-0xFF] >
+<return value> ::= < value + 0x80, byte in range [0x80-0x8F] >
+
+<offset1> ::= < byte in range [0x00-0x3F] >
+<offset2> ::= < byte in range [0x40-0x5F] >
+<offset3> ::= < byte in range [0x60-0x7F] >
+
+<end_offset1> ::= < byte in range [0x80-0xBF] >
+<end_offset2> ::= < byte in range [0xC0-0xDF] >
+<end_offset3> ::= < byte in range [0xE0-0xFF] >
+
+<prefix> ::= <char>
+
+<label> ::= <end_char>
+          | <char> <label>
+
+<end_label> ::= <return_value>
+          | <char> <end_label>
+
+<offset> ::= <offset1>
+           | <offset2> <byte>
+           | <offset3> <byte> <byte>
+
+<end_offset> ::= <end_offset1>
+               | <end_offset2> <byte>
+               | <end_offset3> <byte> <byte>
+
+<offsets> ::= <end_offset>
+            | <offset> <offsets>
+
+<source> ::= <offsets>
+
+<node> ::= <label> <offsets>
+         | <prefix> <node>
+         | <end_label>
+
+<dafsa> ::= <source>
+          | <dafsa> <node>
+
+Decoding:
+
+<char> -> printable 7-bit ASCII character
+<end_char> & 0x7F -> printable 7-bit ASCII character
+<return value> & 0x0F -> integer
+<offset1 & 0x3F> -> integer
+((<offset2> & 0x1F>) << 8) + <byte> -> integer
+((<offset3> & 0x1F>) << 16) + (<byte> << 8) + <byte> -> integer
+
+end_offset1, end_offset2 and and_offset3 are decoded same as offset1,
+offset2 and offset3 respectively.
+
+The first offset in a list of offsets is the distance in bytes between the
+offset itself and the first child node. Subsequent offsets are the distance
+between previous child node and next child node. Thus each offset links a node
+to a child node. The distance is always counted between start addresses, i.e.
+first byte in decoded offset or first byte in child node.
+
+Example 1:
+
+%%
+aa, 1
+a, 2
+%%
+
+The input is first parsed to a list of words:
+["aa1", "a2"]
+
+A fully expanded graph is created from the words:
+source = [node1, node4]
+node1 = ("a", [node2])
+node2 = ("a", [node3])
+node3 = ("\x01", [sink])
+node4 = ("a", [node5])
+node5 = ("\x02", [sink])
+sink = None
+
+Compression results in the following graph:
+source = [node1]
+node1 = ("a", [node2, node3])
+node2 = ("\x02", [sink])
+node3 = ("a\x01", [sink])
+sink = None
+
+A C++ representation of the compressed graph is generated:
+
+const unsigned char dafsa[7] = {
+  0x81, 0xE1, 0x02, 0x81, 0x82, 0x61, 0x81,
+};
+
+The bytes in the generated array has the following meaning:
+
+ 0: 0x81 <end_offset1>  child at position 0 + (0x81 & 0x3F) -> jump to 1
+
+ 1: 0xE1 <end_char>     label character (0xE1 & 0x7F) -> match "a"
+ 2: 0x02 <offset1>      child at position 2 + (0x02 & 0x3F) -> jump to 4
+
+ 3: 0x81 <end_offset1>  child at position 4 + (0x81 & 0x3F) -> jump to 5
+ 4: 0x82 <return_value> 0x82 & 0x0F -> return 2
+
+ 5: 0x61 <char>         label character 0x61 -> match "a"
+ 6: 0x81 <return_value> 0x81 & 0x0F -> return 1
+
+Example 2:
+
+%%
+aa, 1
+bbb, 2
+baa, 1
+%%
+
+The input is first parsed to a list of words:
+["aa1", "bbb2", "baa1"]
+
+Compression results in the following graph:
+source = [node1, node2]
+node1 = ("b", [node2, node3])
+node2 = ("aa\x01", [sink])
+node3 = ("bb\x02", [sink])
+sink = None
+
+A C++ representation of the compressed graph is generated:
