regexdot-0.11.1.0: A polymorphic, POSIX, extended regex-engine.

RegExDot.ExecutionOptions

Contents

Description

AUTHOR
Dr. Alistair Ward
DESCRIPTION
  • Defines those options relating to the RegExDot.RegEx-runtime.
  • These tend to be options which don't affect the result, only the means by which it is achieved.
  • Whilst similar structures are present in other regex-implementations, there's no standardisation of the fields.

Fields

abortTrialRepetitionsOnInherentFailure :: Bool

If an alternative can't match, irrespective of the subsequent RegExDot.RegEx.Concatenation, then avoid futile trial RegExDot.Repeatable.Repetitions. The converse of checkForUnconsumableData.

abortTrialRepetitionsOnZeroConsumption :: Bool

Check for zero data-consumption by the n-th RegExDot.Repeatable.Repeatable RegExDot.RegEx.CaptureGroup, before attempting n+1.

bypassInputDataForLiberalConsumer :: Bool

Whether to bypass reading of the input data, if the mapping to specific RegExDot.RegEx.RepeatablePatterns isn't required, & the RegExDot.RegEx.ExtendedRegEx can consume the required quantity of anything.

catchIncompatibleAnchors :: Bool

Avoid futile trial solutions, involving repetitions of anchored alternatives, which must consume data.

checkExistenceOfInelasticTail :: Bool

If the RegExDot.RegEx.ExtendedRegEx ends in an inelastic (zero Star-height) tail, confirm its existence at the end of the RegExDot.RegEx.InputData.

checkForUnconsumableData :: Bool

Check whether there's no possibility of consuming some of the input data. The converse of abortTrialRepetitionsOnInherentFailure.

moderateGreed :: Bool

Greedily consume data, only up to the limit beyond which, future requirements would be compromised.

permitReorderingOfAlternatives :: Bool

Permit RegExDot.RegEx.Alternatives to be re-ordered, in an attempt to more quickly locate a result.

preferAlternativesWhichFeedTheGreedy :: Bool

Within the RegExDot.RegEx.MatchedData from which each candidate RegExDot.RegEx.Match amongst sequences of RegExDot.RegEx.Alternatives, is ultimately composed, prefer RegExDot.ConsumptionBounds.ConsumptionBounds of RegExDot.RegEx.InputData, beyond RegExDot.Repeatable.getFewest, by RegExDot.Repeatable.isGreedy RegExDot.RegEx.RepeatablePatterns.

preferAlternativesWhichMimickUnrolling :: Bool

Compare RegExDot.ConsumptionBounds.ConsumptionBounds on successive RegExDot.Repeatable.Repetitions of RegExDot.RegEx.CaptureGroup, between candidate RegExDot.RegEx.Matches, to mimic the behaviour of the unrolled RegExDot.Repeatable.Repetitions.

preferFewerRepeatedAlternatives :: Bool

Prefer fewer RegExDot.Repeatable.Repetitions of RegExDot.RegEx.Alternatives, to discourage the capture of null lists of RegExDot.RegEx.InputData.

requireMatchList :: Bool

If merely interested in a Bool result, rather than the optimal mapping of input data to RegExDot.RegEx.RepeatablePatterns, avoid unnecessary evaluation of the RegEx.Match.

unrollRepeatedSingletonAlternative :: Bool

Check whether RegExDot.RegEx.Alternatives consists of just a singleton RegExDot.RegEx.ExtendedRegEx, & has therefore been used merely as a capture-group. Though this doesn't affect the result, it vastly improves efficiency.

useFirstMatchAmongAlternatives :: Bool

Rather than performing an exhaustive search for the optimal choice amongst RegExDot.RegEx.Alternatives, merely select the first that matches; conform to Perl rather than POSIX.

validateMinConsumptionOfAlternatives :: Bool

When the number of repetitions of a RegExDot.RegEx.CaptureGroup is precisely specified, check whether the resulting minimum data-requirement is available.

Functions

Mutators

setVerbose :: Bool -> ExecutionOptions -> ExecutionOptionsSource

Sets those fields which depend crucially on whether the caller wants to retrieve any RegExDot.RegEx.MatchList from the RegExDot.RegEx.Result, or just query whether there is one.
