http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1458 Summary: Identifying patterns without any special characters... Product: PCRE Version: 8.32 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: wishlist Priority: low Component: Code AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Our language wraps the PCRE library functions and we've noticed that users write regular expression functions when simple string matching or replacement functions would work (and be significantly faster). In those cases where the pattern string is a compile time constant and contains no 'special characters' for pattern matching, is there a way to examine the compiled pattern to identify that this is just semantically a string identity match? That would allow us to either optimize those calls directly into a string match, or issue a warning message suggesting rewriting the code to use string functions. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
