SuffixArray.cpp

// Suffix array construction in O(L log^2 L) time.  Routine for
// computing the length of the longest common prefix of any two
// suffixes in O(log L) time.
//
// INPUT:   string s
//
// OUTPUT:  array suffix[] such that suffix[i] = index (from 0 to L-1)
//          of substring s[i...L-1] in the list of sorted suffixes.
//          That is, if we take the inverse of the permutation suffix[],
//          we get the actual suffix array.
