Which norm of regexp is follow this library? #38

Closed phgachoud closed 5 years ago

phgachoud commented 5 years ago

Hi,

Which regexp norm is RX_PCRE_REGULAR_EXPRESSION following?

As there are many implementations of regexp, I'm looking for a reference for this lib.

sorry if you mentioned it and I didn't find it, the first place I'd look for is on the RX_PCRE_REGULAR_EXPRESSION class comment.

I'm not sure what you mean by regex norm. I'm not the original author of this library, but from the name I think that it supports the flavor as implemented in PCRE (or at least a subset of it at the time this Eiffel library was developed). Does that answer your question?

Note that I'm currently working on this library to make it support Unicode (using STRING_32 directly, not UTF-8 as intermediary format). But this work has not been released yet.

Precised my question. I'm looking for a regexp format reference for this lib. Thx for your answer!

The PCRE reference is the answer of my question if thats it

ebezault commented 5 years ago

Yes, or as I mentioned above, a subset of it as it was at the time this Eiffel library was developed.
