<font face="Arial">Charset Detector Interface</font>
<p><font size=-1>This is the charset detectors interface that is exposed
to outside world, in our case, the browser. In the very beginning, caller
calls detectors "Init()" method and let detector know how it would like
to be notified about the detecting result. Observer pattern is used in
this case. Then the caller just need to feed charset detector with text
data through "DoIt()". This can be done through a series "DoIt()" calls,
with each call only contains part of the data. This can be very useful
if the data is only partially available at one time. In our case, since
the data comes from network, we can start detecting long before network
finishes transferring all data. When detector is confident enough about
one encoding, it will notify its caller and stop detecting. If all data
has been feed to detector but detector still is not confident enough about
any encoding, method "Done" will tell detector to make a best guess.</font>

<p>Charset Prober
<p><font size=-1>A charset prober verifies if the input data is belong
to certain encoding or group of encoding. It maintains its state in member
"mState", which has 3 possible value. State "eDetecting" means it hasnt
found any sure answer yet, "eFoundIt" and "eNotMe" carries the same meaning
as their names. Method "GetCharSetName" tell its caller its sure answer
or best guess.</font>
<p><font size=-1>Generally, for each encoding we implemented a charset
prober. Several probers can be wrapped together with a wrapper prober.
It is also possible for a prober to "probe" several encodings. Each charset
prober is designed, implemented and working independently. This enables
prober caller to eliminate certain probers when it has any pre-knowledge.
For example, if user know that an html page is some kind of Japanese encoding,
non-Japanese charset probers will not be fired. If user have not interest
in certain languages, they can also eliminate those charset probers. Those
measures will lead to a small footprint and faster performance.</font>

<p><font face="Arial">How multi-byte encoding charset prober works</font>
<p><font size=-1>For charset prober verifying SJIS, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, EUC-CN
(or GB2312), EUC-TW, Big5 encodings, each prober embeds state machine (mCodingSM),
which identify legal byte sequence base on its encoding scheme. If an illegal
byte sequence is met, this state machine will reach "eError" state. That
signifies a failure for this prober, and prober will report negative answer
to its caller. Once state machine reach "eStart" state, it means sequence
of bytes has been identified as a character. This character will be sent
to Character distribution analyzer (mDistributionAnalyser) and 2-Char sequence
analyzer (mContextAnalyser) for statistic sampling. "GetConfidence" call
will let its caller know the likelihood of input charset being of this
encoding.</font>
<p><font size=-1>Inside "HandleData" method each time after a batch of
text has been processed, shortcut judgement is performed. If the prober
receives enough data and reaches certain confidence level, it will set
its state to be "eFoundIt" and notify its caller an immediate sure answer.</font>
<p><font size=-1>For encoding like ISO_2022 and HZ, since the embedded
state machine can do almost a perfect job along, no other statistic sampling
is done.</font>

<br>&nbsp;
<br>&nbsp;
<p><font face="Arial">How single-byte encoding charset prober works</font>
<p><font size=-1>For each encoding, a table is used to map a character
to an encoding independent identification number. Those identification
numbers in fact come from characters frequency order but with some adjustment.
For each language, a 2-D matrix is defined as language model. If cell &lt;x,
y> is 0, it means sequence &lt;character(x), character(y)> is a rarely
used sequence in this language, with character(x) representing the character
whose identification number is x. The 2-D matrix only defines sequence
of a subset of all the characters. For characters whose identification
number is out of this range, those characters are ignored. Since some of
the sequences, like ascii-to-ascii sequences, have no relation with the
language we try to verify, and those sequences should not be counted. In
current implementation, a sequence will be counted if both characters are
8-bits ones. In some situations, one 8-bits character sequence is expected
to be counted.</font>
<p><i><font size=-1>LangCyrillicModel.cpp : these files defined a mapping
table for each encoding and a 2-D matrix for all Cyrillic languages. A
"SequenceModel" structure is also defined for each encoding. This structure
will be used to initialize a single-byte character prober class. All Cyrillic
encodings are sharing the same prober class implementation.</font></i>
