This crate provides a robust regular expression parser.
|
|
|
|
This crate defines two primary types:
|
|
|
|
* [`Ast`](ast/enum.Ast.html) is the abstract syntax of a regular expression.
|
|
An abstract syntax corresponds to a *structured representation* of the
|
|
concrete syntax of a regular expression, where the concrete syntax is the
|
|
pattern string itself (e.g., `foo(bar)+`). Given some abstract syntax, it
|
|
can be converted back to the original concrete syntax (modulo some details,
|
|
like whitespace). To a first approximation, the abstract syntax is complex
|
|
and difficult to analyze.
|
|
* [`Hir`](hir/struct.Hir.html) is the high-level intermediate representation
|
|
("HIR" or "high-level IR" for short) of regular expression. It corresponds to
|
|
an intermediate state of a regular expression that sits between the abstract
|
|
syntax and the low level compiled opcodes that are eventually responsible for
|
|
executing a regular expression search. Given some high-level IR, it is not
|
|
possible to produce the original concrete syntax (although it is possible to
|
|
produce an equivalent concrete syntax, but it will likely scarcely resemble
|
|
the original pattern). To a first approximation, the high-level IR is simple
|
|
and easy to analyze.
|
|
|
|
These two types come with conversion routines:
|
|
|
|
* An [`ast::parse::Parser`](ast/parse/struct.Parser.html) converts concrete
|
|
syntax (a `&str`) to an [`Ast`](ast/enum.Ast.html).
|
|
* A [`hir::translate::Translator`](hir/translate/struct.Translator.html)
|
|
converts an [`Ast`](ast/enum.Ast.html) to a [`Hir`](hir/struct.Hir.html).
|
|
|
|
As a convenience, the above two conversion routines are combined into one via
|
|
the top-level [`Parser`](struct.Parser.html) type. This `Parser` will first
|
|
convert your pattern to an `Ast` and then convert the `Ast` to an `Hir`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to parse a pattern string into its HIR:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
use regex_syntax::Parser;
|
|
use regex_syntax::hir::{self, Hir};
|
|
|
|
let hir = Parser::new().parse("a|b").unwrap();
|
|
assert_eq!(hir, Hir::alternation(vec![
|
|
Hir::literal(hir::Literal::Unicode('a')),
|
|
Hir::literal(hir::Literal::Unicode('b')),
|
|
]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Concrete syntax supported
|
|
|
|
The concrete syntax is documented as part of the public API of the
|
|
[`regex` crate](https://docs.rs/regex/%2A/regex/#syntax).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Input safety
|
|
|
|
A key feature of this library is that it is safe to use with end user facing
|
|
input. This plays a significant role in the internal implementation. In
|
|
particular:
|
|
|
|
1. Parsers provide a `nest_limit` option that permits callers to control how
|
|
deeply nested a regular expression is allowed to be. This makes it possible
|
|
to do case analysis over an `Ast` or an `Hir` using recursion without
|
|
worrying about stack overflow.
|
|
2. Since relying on a particular stack size is brittle, this crate goes to
|
|
great lengths to ensure that all interactions with both the `Ast` and the
|
|
`Hir` do not use recursion. Namely, they use constant stack space and heap
|
|
space proportional to the size of the original pattern string (in bytes).
|
|
This includes the type's corresponding destructors. (One exception to this
|
|
is literal extraction, but this will eventually get fixed.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Error reporting
|
|
|
|
The `Display` implementations on all `Error` types exposed in this library
|
|
provide nice human readable errors that are suitable for showing to end users
|
|
in a monospace font.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Literal extraction
|
|
|
|
This crate provides limited support for
|
|
[literal extraction from `Hir` values](hir/literal/struct.Literals.html).
|
|
Be warned that literal extraction currently uses recursion, and therefore,
|
|
stack size proportional to the size of the `Hir`.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of literal extraction is to speed up searches. That is, if you
|
|
know a regular expression must match a prefix or suffix literal, then it is
|
|
often quicker to search for instances of that literal, and then confirm or deny
|
|
the match using the full regular expression engine. These optimizations are
|
|
done automatically in the `regex` crate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Crate features
|
|
|
|
An important feature provided by this crate is its Unicode support. This
|
|
includes things like case folding, boolean properties, general categories,
|
|
scripts and Unicode-aware support for the Perl classes `\w`, `\s` and `\d`.
|
|
However, a downside of this support is that it requires bundling several
|
|
Unicode data tables that are substantial in size.
|
|
|
|
A fair number of use cases do not require full Unicode support. For this
|
|
reason, this crate exposes a number of features to control which Unicode
|
|
data is available.
|
|
|
|
If a regular expression attempts to use a Unicode feature that is not available
|
|
because the corresponding crate feature was disabled, then translating that
|
|
regular expression to an `Hir` will return an error. (It is still possible
|
|
construct an `Ast` for such a regular expression, since Unicode data is not
|
|
used until translation to an `Hir`.) Stated differently, enabling or disabling
|
|
any of the features below can only add or subtract from the total set of valid
|
|
regular expressions. Enabling or disabling a feature will never modify the
|
|
match semantics of a regular expression.
|
|
|
|
The following features are available:
|
|
|
|
* **unicode** -
|
|
Enables all Unicode features. This feature is enabled by default, and will
|
|
always cover all Unicode features, even if more are added in the future.
|
|
* **unicode-age** -
|
|
Provide the data for the
|
|
[Unicode `Age` property](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/tr44-24.html#Character_Age).
|
|
This makes it possible to use classes like `\p{Age:6.0}` to refer to all
|
|
codepoints first introduced in Unicode 6.0
|
|
* **unicode-bool** -
|
|
Provide the data for numerous Unicode boolean properties. The full list
|
|
is not included here, but contains properties like `Alphabetic`, `Emoji`,
|
|
`Lowercase`, `Math`, `Uppercase` and `White_Space`.
|
|
* **unicode-case** -
|
|
Provide the data for case insensitive matching using
|
|
[Unicode's "simple loose matches" specification](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/#Simple_Loose_Matches).
|
|
* **unicode-gencat** -
|
|
Provide the data for
|
|
[Uncode general categories](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/tr44-24.html#General_Category_Values).
|
|
This includes, but is not limited to, `Decimal_Number`, `Letter`,
|
|
`Math_Symbol`, `Number` and `Punctuation`.
|
|
* **unicode-perl** -
|
|
Provide the data for supporting the Unicode-aware Perl character classes,
|
|
corresponding to `\w`, `\s` and `\d`. This is also necessary for using
|
|
Unicode-aware word boundary assertions. Note that if this feature is
|
|
disabled, the `\s` and `\d` character classes are still available if the
|
|
`unicode-bool` and `unicode-gencat` features are enabled, respectively.
|
|
* **unicode-script** -
|
|
Provide the data for
|
|
[Unicode scripts and script extensions](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/).
|
|
This includes, but is not limited to, `Arabic`, `Cyrillic`, `Hebrew`,
|
|
`Latin` and `Thai`.
|
|
* **unicode-segment** -
|
|
Provide the data necessary to provide the properties used to implement the
|
|
[Unicode text segmentation algorithms](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/).
|
|
This enables using classes like `\p{gcb=Extend}`, `\p{wb=Katakana}` and
|
|
`\p{sb=ATerm}`.
