Struct Builder

pub struct Builder { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate features nfa-thompson and nfa-pikevm only.

A builder for a PikeVM.

This builder permits configuring options for the syntax of a pattern, the NFA construction and the PikeVM construction. This builder is different from a general purpose regex builder in that it permits fine grain configuration of the construction process. The trade off for this is complexity, and the possibility of setting a configuration that might not make sense. For example, there are two different UTF-8 modes:

• util::syntax::Config::utf8 controls whether the pattern itself can contain sub-expressions that match invalid UTF-8.
• thompson::Config::utf8 controls whether empty matches that split a Unicode codepoint are reported or not.

Generally speaking, callers will want to either enable all of these or disable all of these.

Example

This example shows how to disable UTF-8 mode in the syntax and the regex itself. This is generally what you want for matching on arbitrary bytes.

use regex_automata::{
    nfa::thompson::{self, pikevm::PikeVM},
    util::syntax,
    Match,
};

let re = PikeVM::builder()
    .syntax(syntax::Config::new().utf8(false))
    .thompson(thompson::Config::new().utf8(false))
    .build(r"foo(?-u:[^b])ar.*")?;
let mut cache = re.create_cache();

let haystack = b"\xFEfoo\xFFarzz\xE2\x98\xFF\n";
let expected = Some(Match::must(0, 1..9));
let got = re.find_iter(&mut cache, haystack).next();
assert_eq!(expected, got);
// Notice that `(?-u:[^b])` matches invalid UTF-8,
// but the subsequent `.*` does not! Disabling UTF-8
// on the syntax permits this.
//
// N.B. This example does not show the impact of
// disabling UTF-8 mode on a PikeVM Config, since that
// only impacts regexes that can produce matches of
// length 0.
assert_eq!(b"foo\xFFarzz", &haystack[got.unwrap().range()]);

Implementations

impl Builder

pub fn new() -> Builder

Create a new PikeVM builder with its default configuration.

pub fn build(&self, pattern: &str) -> Result<PikeVM, BuildError>

Available on crate feature syntax only.

Build a PikeVM from the given pattern.

If there was a problem parsing or compiling the pattern, then an error is returned.

pub fn build_many<P: AsRef<str>>( &self, patterns: &[P], ) -> Result<PikeVM, BuildError>

Available on crate feature syntax only.

Build a PikeVM from the given patterns.

pub fn build_from_nfa(&self, nfa: NFA) -> Result<PikeVM, BuildError>

Build a PikeVM directly from its NFA.

Note that when using this method, any configuration that applies to the construction of the NFA itself will of course be ignored, since the NFA given here is already built.

pub fn configure(&mut self, config: Config) -> &mut Builder

Apply the given PikeVM configuration options to this builder.

pub fn syntax(&mut self, config: Config) -> &mut Builder

Available on crate feature syntax only.

Set the syntax configuration for this builder using syntax::Config.

This permits setting things like case insensitivity, Unicode and multi line mode.

These settings only apply when constructing a PikeVM directly from a pattern.

pub fn thompson(&mut self, config: Config) -> &mut Builder

Available on crate feature syntax only.

Set the Thompson NFA configuration for this builder using nfa::thompson::Config.

This permits setting things like if additional time should be spent shrinking the size of the NFA.

These settings only apply when constructing a PikeVM directly from a pattern.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Builder

fn clone(&self) -> Builder

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Builder

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

Layout

Note: Most layout information is completely unstable and may even differ between compilations. The only exception is types with certain repr(...) attributes. Please see the Rust Reference's “Type Layout” chapter for details on type layout guarantees.
