Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Rui Maciel (rui_maciel) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Make "match at least/exactly n times" code rely on counter Initial Comment: If a user needs to rely on the "match at least n times" or "match exactly n times" regular expression, re2c ends up generating a separate state for each match. That has the very nasty effect of ballooning the size of the generated source code, particularly if the user needs to match long instances of a certain regex pattern. Possibly a good way to sidestep this problem is to rely on a counter instead of implementing a long sequence of states. By implementing a counter then it would be possible to only implement the states related to the pattern of a single repetition and then test the counter to check the number of matches that were already made. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=616203&aid=2938627&group_id=96864 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Re2c-general mailing list Re2c-general@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/re2c-general
