D2. Remove the Substring (hard version)
The only difference between easy and hard versions is the length of the string.
You are given a string s and a string t, both consisting only of lowercase Latin letters. It is guaranteed that t can be obtained from s by removing some (possibly, zero) number of characters (not necessary contiguous) from s without changing order of remaining characters (in other words, it is guaranteed that t is a subsequence of s).
For example, the strings “test”, “tst”, “tt”, “et” and “” are subsequences of the string “test”. But the strings “tset”, “se”, “contest” are not subsequences of the string “test”.
You want to remove some substring (contiguous subsequence) from s of maximum possible length such that after removing this substring t will remain a subsequence of s.
If you want to remove the substring s[l;r] then the string s will be transformed to s1s2…sl−1sr+1sr+2…s|s|−1s|s| (where |s| is the length of s).
Your task is to find the maximum possible length of the substring you can remove so that t is still a subsequence of s.
Input
The first line of the input contains one string s consisting of at least 1 and at most 2⋅105 lowercase Latin letters.
The first line of the input contains one string t consisting of at least 1 and at most 2⋅105 lowercase Latin letters.
It is guaranteed that t is a subsequence of s.
Output
Print one integer — the maximum possible length of the substring you can remove so that t is still a subsequence of s.

思路
题目意思是让我们从字符串s中切割一个尽可能大的区间,使得t仍然为剩下的字符串的子序列。先将s从前、从后都遍历一遍,分别记录t的每个字符在s中的位置,t每个字符都遍历完则结束。从左开始遍历,则最右字符的右区间为最大右区间;从右开始遍历,则最左字符的左区间为最大左区间。再逐个枚举中间的相邻两个字符作为分割点,求出中间的最大区间。将三个区间进行比较。
eg :
asdfadbcfbsc
adbc
L[0] = 0
L[1] = 2
L[2] = 6
L[3] = 7
R[0] = 11
R[1] = 9
R[2] = 5
R[3] = 4

int lcnt = 0, rcnt = 0;

if(s[i] == t[lcnt]) {
l[lcnt] = i;
lcnt++;
}
if(lcnt == t_len) {
break;
}
}
for(int i=s_len-1;i>=0;i--) {
if(s[i] == t[t_len-rcnt-1]) {
r[rcnt] = i;
rcnt++;
}

break;
}
}
int ans = max(r[t_len-1],s_len-l[t_len-1]-1);
for(int i=0;i<t_len-1;i++) {
ans = max(ans,r[i]-l[t_len-i-2]-1);
}
cout << ans << endl;
