the implementation of the lookup of the right template for a given node must be really fast in order to keep decent performances.

## Description

### Structure xsltCompMatch

    Structure xsltCompMatch
    struct _xsltCompMatch {
    The content of this structure is not made public by the API.
    }

### Function: xsltAddTemplate

    int	xsltAddTemplate			(xsltStylesheetPtr style,
    					 xsltTemplatePtr cur,
    					 const xmlChar * mode,
    					 const xmlChar * modeURI)

Register the XSLT pattern associated to @cur

`style`: | an XSLT stylesheet
`cur`: | an XSLT template
`mode`: | the mode name or NULL
`modeURI`: | the mode URI or NULL
`Returns`: | -1 in case of error, 0 otherwise

### Function: xsltCleanupTemplates

    void	xsltCleanupTemplates		(xsltStylesheetPtr style)

Cleanup the state of the templates used by the stylesheet and the ones it imports.

`style`: | an XSLT stylesheet

### Function: xsltCompilePattern

    xsltCompMatchPtr	xsltCompilePattern	(const xmlChar * pattern,
    						 xmlDocPtr doc,
    						 xmlNodePtr node,
    						 xsltStylesheetPtr style,
    						 xsltTransformContextPtr runtime)

Compile the XSLT pattern and generates a list of precompiled form suitable for fast matching. [1] Pattern ::= LocationPathPattern | Pattern '|' LocationPathPattern

`pattern`: | an XSLT pattern
`doc`: | the containing document
`node`: | the containing element
`style`: | the stylesheet
`runtime`: | the transformation context, if done at run-time
`Returns`: | the generated pattern list or NULL in case of failure

### Function: xsltFreeCompMatchList

    void	xsltFreeCompMatchList		(xsltCompMatchPtr comp)

Free up the memory allocated by all the elements of @comp

`comp`: | an XSLT comp list

### Function: xsltFreeTemplateHashes

    void	xsltFreeTemplateHashes		(xsltStylesheetPtr style)

Free up the memory used by xsltAddTemplate/xsltGetTemplate mechanism

`style`: | an XSLT stylesheet

### Function: xsltGetTemplate

    xsltTemplatePtr	xsltGetTemplate		(xsltTransformContextPtr ctxt,
    					 xmlNodePtr node,
    					 xsltStylesheetPtr style)

Finds the template applying to this node, if @style is non-NULL it means one needs to look for the next imported template in scope.

`ctxt`: | a XSLT process context
`node`: | the node being processed
`style`: | the current style
`Returns`: | the xsltTemplatePtr or NULL if not found

### Function: xsltMatchPattern

    int	xsltMatchPattern		(xsltTransformContextPtr ctxt,
    					 xmlNodePtr node,
    					 const xmlChar * pattern,
    					 xmlDocPtr ctxtdoc,
    					 xmlNodePtr ctxtnode)

`ctxt`: |
`node`: |
`pattern`: |
`ctxtdoc`: |
`ctxtnode`: |
`Returns`: |

### Function: xsltNormalizeCompSteps

    void	xsltNormalizeCompSteps		(void * payload,
    					 void * data,
    					 const xmlChar * name)

This is a hashtable scanner function to normalize the compiled steps of an imported stylesheet.

`payload`: | pointer to template hash table entry
`data`: | pointer to the stylesheet
`name`: | template match name

### Function: xsltTestCompMatchList

    int	xsltTestCompMatchList		(xsltTransformContextPtr ctxt,
    					 xmlNodePtr node,
    					 xsltCompMatchPtr comp)

Test whether the node matches one of the patterns in the list

`ctxt`: | a XSLT process context
`node`: | a node
`comp`: | the precompiled pattern list
`Returns`: | 1 if it matches, 0 if it doesn't and -1 in case of failure
