This patch is a proof-of-concept Dex index implementation. It has several flaws, which don't allow replacing static MemIndex yet, such as: * Not being able to handle queries of small size (less than 3 symbols); a way to solve this is generating trigrams of smaller size and having such incomplete trigrams in the index structure. * Speed measurements: while manually editing files in Vim and requesting autocompletion gives an impression that the performance is at least comparable with the current static index, having actual numbers is important because we don't want to hurt the users and roll out slow code. Eric (@ioeric) suggested that we should only replace MemIndex as soon as we have the evidence that this is not a regression in terms of performance. An approach which is likely to be successful here is to wait until we have benchmark library in the LLVM core repository, which is something I have suggested in the LLVM mailing lists, received positive feedback on and started working on. I will add a dependency as soon as the suggested patch is out for a review (currently there's at least one complication which is being addressed by https://github.com/google/benchmark/pull/649). Key performance improvements for iterators are sorting by cost and the limit iterator. * Quality measurements: currently, boosting iterator and two-phase lookup stage are not implemented, without these the quality is likely to be worse than the current implementation can yield. Measuring quality is tricky, but another suggestion in the offline discussion was that the drop-in replacement should only happen after Boosting iterators implementation (and subsequent query enhancement). The proposed changes do not affect Clangd functionality or performance, `DexIndex` is only used in unit tests and not in production code.
