Dear all, Just writing to let you know that version 2.1 of the SystemTap framework has shipped with a slightly modified version of re2c to provide regular expression support in the scripting language (currently, as an experimental feature).
systemtap project page -- http://sourceware.org/systemtap/ 2.1 announcement -- http://sourceware.org/ml/systemtap/2013-q1/msg00130.html On behalf of the entire SystemTap team, I would like to thank all of the re2c developers and contributors for the creative and useful work that went into re2c, and for making it freely available for use by others. Using re2c's codebase was a good starting point for us, due to the end product being self-contained C code rather than a data structure, thus not requiring us to embed any DFA engine in the SystemTap runtime environment. As part of the work so far, I implemented basic support for the anchoring operators ($ and ^) in the re2c engine. I plan to backport this functionality to re2c and submit a patch for your consideration fairly soon (releasing it into the public domain, so it can be incorporated back into the re2c codebase). I hope to do the same with any other upcoming improvements or fixes that it might make sense to incorporate into re2c. All the best, Serguei Makarov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
