* PCRE2 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM *
*************************************************/
/* This is a demonstration program to illustrate a straightforward way of

using the PCRE2 regular expression library from a C program. See the

pcre2sample documentation for a short discussion ("man pcre2sample" if you have
the PCRE2 man pages installed). PCRE2 is a revised API for the library, and is
incompatible with the original PCRE API.

There are actually three libraries, each supporting a different code unit
Tidy pcre2demo.c
2016-02-02 17:25:47 +01:00
width. This demonstration program uses the 8-bit library. The default is to
process each code unit as a separate character, but if the pattern begins with
"(*UTF)", both it and the subject are treated as UTF-8 strings, where
characters may occupy multiple code units.
Documentation scripts
2014-09-23 13:35:51 +02:00
In Unix-like environments, if PCRE2 is installed in your standard system
libraries, you should be able to compile this program using this command:
Tidy pcre2demo.c
2016-02-02 17:25:47 +01:00
cc -Wall pcre2demo.c -lpcre2-8 -o pcre2demo
Documentation scripts
2014-09-23 13:35:51 +02:00
If PCRE2 is not installed in a standard place, it is likely to be installed
with support for the pkg-config mechanism. If you have pkg-config, you can
compile this program using this command:
Tidy pcre2demo.c
2016-02-02 17:25:47 +01:00
cc -Wall pcre2demo.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libpcre2-8` -o pcre2demo

Tidy pcre2demo.c
2016-02-02 17:25:47 +01:00
If you do not have pkg-config, you may have to use something like this:
Documentation scripts
2014-09-23 13:35:51 +02:00
Tidy pcre2demo.c
2016-02-02 17:25:47 +01:00

Documentation scripts
2014-09-23 13:35:51 +02:00
-R/usr/local/lib -lpcre2-8 -o pcre2demo
Replace "/usr/local/include" and "/usr/local/lib" with wherever the include and
library files for PCRE2 are installed on your system. Only some operating
systems (Solaris is one) use the -R option.
Building under Windows:
If you want to statically link this program against a non-dll .a file, you must
define PCRE2_STATIC before including pcre2.h, so in this environment, uncomment
the following line. */
/* #define PCRE2_STATIC */
Tidy pcre2demo.c
2016-02-02 17:25:47 +01:00
/* The PCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH macro must be defined before including pcre2.h.
For a program that uses only one code unit width, setting it to 8, 16, or 32
makes it possible to use generic function names such as pcre2_compile(). Note
that just changing 8 to 16 (for example) is not sufficient to convert this
program to process 16-bit characters. Even in a fully 16-bit environment, where
string-handling functions such as strcmp() and printf() work with 16-bit
characters, the code for handling the table of named substrings will still need
to be modified. */

* If the "-g" option was given on the command line, we want to continue *

* might think because of the possibility of matching an empty string. *
* What happens is as follows: *
* *
* If the previous match was NOT for an empty string, we can just start *
* the next match at the end of the previous one. *
* *
* If the previous match WAS for an empty string, we can't do that, as it *
* would lead to an infinite loop. Instead, a call of pcre2_match() is *
* made with the PCRE2_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART and PCRE2_ANCHORED flags set. The *
* first of these tells PCRE2 that an empty string at the start of the *
* subject is not a valid match; other possibilities must be tried. The *
* second flag restricts PCRE2 to one match attempt at the initial string *
* position. If this match succeeds, an alternative to the empty string *
* match has been found, and we can print it and proceed round the loop, *
* advancing by the length of whatever was found. If this match does not *
* succeed, we still stay in the loop, advancing by just one character. *
* In UTF-8 mode, which can be set by (*UTF) in the pattern, this may be *
* more than one byte. *
* *
* However, there is a complication concerned with newlines. When the *
* newline convention is such that CRLF is a valid newline, we must *
* advance by two characters rather than one. The newline convention can *
* be set in the regex by (*CR), etc.; if not, we must find the default. *
