+
+-- This package implements roughly the same set of regular expressions as
+-- are available in the Perl or Python programming languages.
+
+-- This is an extension of the original V7 style regular expression library
+-- written in C by Henry Spencer. Apart from the translation to Ada, the
+-- interface has been considerably changed to use the Ada String type
+-- instead of C-style nul-terminated strings.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------
+-- Summary of Pattern Matching Packages in GNAT Hierarchy --
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+-- There are three related packages that perform pattern maching functions.
+-- the following is an outline of these packages, to help you determine
+-- which is best for your needs.
+
+-- GNAT.Regexp (files g-regexp.ads/g-regexp.adb)
+-- This is a simple package providing Unix-style regular expression
+-- matching with the restriction that it matches entire strings. It
+-- is particularly useful for file name matching, and in particular
+-- it provides "globbing patterns" that are useful in implementing
+-- unix or DOS style wild card matching for file names.
+
+-- GNAT.Regpat (files g-regpat.ads/g-regpat.adb)
+-- This is a more complete implementation of Unix-style regular
+-- expressions, copied from the Perl regular expression engine,
+-- written originally in C by Henry Spencer. It is functionally the
+-- same as that library.
+
+-- GNAT.Spitbol.Patterns (files g-spipat.ads/g-spipat.adb)
+-- This is a completely general pattern matching package based on the
+-- pattern language of SNOBOL4, as implemented in SPITBOL. The pattern
+-- language is modeled on context free grammars, with context sensitive
+-- extensions that provide full (type 0) computational capabilities.
+
+package GNAT.Regpat is
+ pragma Preelaborate;
+
+ -- The grammar is the following:
+
+ -- regexp ::= expr
+ -- ::= ^ expr -- anchor at the beginning of string
+ -- ::= expr $ -- anchor at the end of string
+
+ -- expr ::= term
+ -- ::= term | term -- alternation (term or term ...)
+
+ -- term ::= item
+ -- ::= item item ... -- concatenation (item then item)
+
+ -- item ::= elmt -- match elmt
+ -- ::= elmt * -- zero or more elmt's
+ -- ::= elmt + -- one or more elmt's
+ -- ::= elmt ? -- matches elmt or nothing
+ -- ::= elmt *? -- zero or more times, minimum number
+ -- ::= elmt +? -- one or more times, minimum number
+ -- ::= elmt ?? -- zero or one time, minimum number
+ -- ::= elmt { num } -- matches elmt exactly num times
+ -- ::= elmt { num , } -- matches elmt at least num times
+ -- ::= elmt { num , num2 } -- matches between num and num2 times
+ -- ::= elmt { num }? -- matches elmt exactly num times
+ -- ::= elmt { num , }? -- matches elmt at least num times
+ -- non-greedy version
+ -- ::= elmt { num , num2 }? -- matches between num and num2 times
+ -- non-greedy version
+
+ -- elmt ::= nchr -- matches given character
+ -- ::= [range range ...] -- matches any character listed
+ -- ::= [^ range range ...] -- matches any character not listed
+ -- ::= . -- matches any single character
+ -- -- except newlines
+ -- ::= ( expr ) -- parens used for grouping
+ -- ::= \ num -- reference to num-th parenthesis
+
+ -- range ::= char - char -- matches chars in given range
+ -- ::= nchr
+ -- ::= [: posix :] -- any character in the POSIX range
+ -- ::= [:^ posix :] -- not in the POSIX range
+
+ -- posix ::= alnum -- alphanumeric characters
+ -- ::= alpha -- alphabetic characters
+ -- ::= ascii -- ascii characters (0 .. 127)
+ -- ::= cntrl -- control chars (0..31, 127..159)
+ -- ::= digit -- digits ('0' .. '9')
+ -- ::= graph -- graphic chars (32..126, 160..255)
+ -- ::= lower -- lower case characters
+ -- ::= print -- printable characters (32..127)
+ -- ::= punct -- printable, except alphanumeric
+ -- ::= space -- space characters
+ -- ::= upper -- upper case characters
+ -- ::= word -- alphanumeric characters
+ -- ::= xdigit -- hexadecimal chars (0..9, a..f)
+
+ -- char ::= any character, including special characters
+ -- ASCII.NUL is not supported.
+
+ -- nchr ::= any character except \()[].*+?^ or \char to match char
+ -- \n means a newline (ASCII.LF)
+ -- \t means a tab (ASCII.HT)
+ -- \r means a return (ASCII.CR)
+ -- \b matches the empty string at the beginning or end of a
+ -- word. A word is defined as a set of alphanumerical
+ -- characters (see \w below).
+ -- \B matches the empty string only when *not* at the
+ -- beginning or end of a word.
+ -- \d matches any digit character ([0-9])
+ -- \D matches any non digit character ([^0-9])
+ -- \s matches any white space character. This is equivalent
+ -- to [ \t\n\r\f\v] (tab, form-feed, vertical-tab,...
+ -- \S matches any non-white space character.
+ -- \w matches any alphanumeric character or underscore.
+ -- This include accented letters, as defined in the
+ -- package Ada.Characters.Handling.
+ -- \W matches any non-alphanumeric character.
+ -- \A match the empty string only at the beginning of the
+ -- string, whatever flags are used for Compile (the
+ -- behavior of ^ can change, see Regexp_Flags below).
+ -- \G match the empty string only at the end of the
+ -- string, whatever flags are used for Compile (the
+ -- behavior of $ can change, see Regexp_Flags below).
+ -- ... ::= is used to indication repetition (one or more terms)
+
+ -- Embedded newlines are not matched by the ^ operator.
+ -- It is possible to retrieve the substring matched a parenthesis
+ -- expression. Although the depth of parenthesis is not limited in the
+ -- regexp, only the first 9 substrings can be retrieved.
+
+ -- The highest value possible for the arguments to the curly operator ({})
+ -- are given by the constant Max_Curly_Repeat below.
+
+ -- The operators '*', '+', '?' and '{}' always match the longest possible
+ -- substring. They all have a non-greedy version (with an extra ? after the
+ -- operator), which matches the shortest possible substring.
+
+ -- For instance:
+ -- regexp="<.*>" string="<h1>title</h1>" matches="<h1>title</h1>"
+ -- regexp="<.*?>" string="<h1>title</h1>" matches="<h1>"
+ --
+ -- '{' and '}' are only considered as special characters if they appear
+ -- in a substring that looks exactly like '{n}', '{n,m}' or '{n,}', where
+ -- n and m are digits. No space is allowed. In other contexts, the curly
+ -- braces will simply be treated as normal characters.
+
+ -- Compiling Regular Expressions
+ -- =============================
+
+ -- To use this package, you first need to compile the regular expression
+ -- (a string) into a byte-code program, in a Pattern_Matcher structure.
+ -- This first step checks that the regexp is valid, and optimizes the
+ -- matching algorithms of the second step.
+
+ -- Two versions of the Compile subprogram are given: one in which this
+ -- package will compute itself the best possible size to allocate for the
+ -- byte code; the other where you must allocate enough memory yourself. An
+ -- exception is raised if there is not enough memory.
+
+ -- declare
+ -- Regexp : String := "a|b";
+
+ -- Matcher : Pattern_Matcher := Compile (Regexp);
+ -- -- The size for matcher is automatically allocated
+
+ -- Matcher2 : Pattern_Matcher (1000);
+ -- -- Some space is allocated directly.
+
+ -- begin
+ -- Compile (Matcher2, Regexp);
+ -- ...
+ -- end;
+
+ -- Note that the second version is significantly faster, since with the
+ -- first version the regular expression has in fact to be compiled twice
+ -- (first to compute the size, then to generate the byte code).
+
+ -- Note also that you cannot use the function version of Compile if you
+ -- specify the size of the Pattern_Matcher, since the discriminants will
+ -- most probably be different and you will get a Constraint_Error
+
+ -- Matching Strings
+ -- ================
+
+ -- Once the regular expression has been compiled, you can use it as often
+ -- as needed to match strings.
+
+ -- Several versions of the Match subprogram are provided, with different
+ -- parameters and return results.
+
+ -- See the description under each of these subprograms
+
+ -- Here is a short example showing how to get the substring matched by
+ -- the first parenthesis pair.
+
+ -- declare
+ -- Matches : Match_Array (0 .. 1);
+ -- Regexp : String := "a(b|c)d";
+ -- Str : String := "gacdg";
+
+ -- begin
+ -- Match (Compile (Regexp), Str, Matches);
+ -- return Str (Matches (1).First .. Matches (1).Last);
+ -- -- returns 'c'
+ -- end;
+
+ -- Finding all occurrences
+ -- =======================
+
+ -- Finding all the occurrences of a regular expression in a string cannot
+ -- be done by simply passing a slice of the string. This wouldn't work for
+ -- anchored regular expressions (the ones starting with "^" or ending with
+ -- "$").
+ -- Instead, you need to use the last parameter to Match (Data_First), as in
+ -- the following loop:
+
+ -- declare
+ -- Str : String :=
+ -- "-- first line" & ASCII.LF & "-- second line";
+ -- Matches : Match_array (0 .. 0);
+ -- Regexp : Pattern_Matcher := Compile ("^--", Multiple_Lines);
+ -- Current : Natural := Str'First;
+ -- begin
+ -- loop
+ -- Match (Regexp, Str, Matches, Current);
+ -- exit when Matches (0) = No_Match;
+ --
+ -- -- Process the match at position Matches (0).First
+ --
+ -- Current := Matches (0).Last + 1;
+ -- end loop;
+ -- end;
+
+ -- String Substitution
+ -- ===================
+
+ -- No subprogram is currently provided for string substitution.
+ -- However, this is easy to simulate with the parenthesis groups, as
+ -- shown below.
+
+ -- This example swaps the first two words of the string:
+
+ -- declare
+ -- Regexp : String := "([a-z]+) +([a-z]+)";
+ -- Str : String := " first second third ";
+ -- Matches : Match_Array (0 .. 2);
+
+ -- begin
+ -- Match (Compile (Regexp), Str, Matches);
+ -- return Str (Str'First .. Matches (1).First - 1)
+ -- & Str (Matches (2).First .. Matches (2).Last)
+ -- & " "
+ -- & Str (Matches (1).First .. Matches (1).Last)
+ -- & Str (Matches (2).Last + 1 .. Str'Last);
+ -- -- returns " second first third "
+ -- end;
+
+ ---------------
+ -- Constants --
+ ---------------
+
+ Expression_Error : exception;
+ -- This exception is raised when trying to compile an invalid regular
+ -- expression. All subprograms taking an expression as parameter may raise
+ -- Expression_Error.
+
+ Max_Paren_Count : constant := 255;
+ -- Maximum number of parenthesis in a regular expression. This is limited
+ -- by the size of a Character, as found in the byte-compiled version of
+ -- regular expressions.
+
+ Max_Curly_Repeat : constant := 32767;
+ -- Maximum number of repetition for the curly operator. The digits in the
+ -- {n}, {n,} and {n,m } operators cannot be higher than this constant,
+ -- since they have to fit on two characters in the byte-compiled version of
+ -- regular expressions.
+
+ Max_Program_Size : constant := 2**15 - 1;
+ -- Maximum size that can be allocated for a program
+
+ type Program_Size is range 0 .. Max_Program_Size;
+ for Program_Size'Size use 16;
+ -- Number of bytes allocated for the byte-compiled version of a regular
+ -- expression. The size required depends on the complexity of the regular
+ -- expression in a complex manner that is undocumented (other than in the
+ -- body of the Compile procedure). Normally the size is automatically set
+ -- and the programmer need not be concerned about it. There are two
+ -- exceptions to this. First in the calls to Match, it is possible to
+ -- specify a non-zero size that is known to be large enough. This can
+ -- slightly increase the efficiency by avoiding a copy. Second, in the case
+ -- of calling compile, it is possible using the procedural form of Compile
+ -- to use a single Pattern_Matcher variable for several different
+ -- expressions by setting its size sufficiently large.
+
+ Auto_Size : constant := 0;
+ -- Used in calls to Match to indicate that the Size should be set to
+ -- a value appropriate to the expression being used automatically.
+
+ type Regexp_Flags is mod 256;
+ for Regexp_Flags'Size use 8;
+ -- Flags that can be given at compile time to specify default
+ -- properties for the regular expression.
+
+ No_Flags : constant Regexp_Flags;
+ Case_Insensitive : constant Regexp_Flags;
+ -- The automaton is optimized so that the matching is done in a case
+ -- insensitive manner (upper case characters and lower case characters
+ -- are all treated the same way).
+
+ Single_Line : constant Regexp_Flags;
+ -- Treat the Data we are matching as a single line. This means that
+ -- ^ and $ will ignore \n (unless Multiple_Lines is also specified),
+ -- and that '.' will match \n.
+
+ Multiple_Lines : constant Regexp_Flags;
+ -- Treat the Data as multiple lines. This means that ^ and $ will also
+ -- match on internal newlines (ASCII.LF), in addition to the beginning
+ -- and end of the string.
+ --
+ -- This can be combined with Single_Line.
+
+ -----------------
+ -- Match_Array --
+ -----------------
+
+ subtype Match_Count is Natural range 0 .. Max_Paren_Count;
+
+ type Match_Location is record
+ First : Natural := 0;
+ Last : Natural := 0;
+ end record;
+
+ type Match_Array is array (Match_Count range <>) of Match_Location;
+ -- The substring matching a given pair of parenthesis. Index 0 is the whole
+ -- substring that matched the full regular expression.
+ --
+ -- For instance, if your regular expression is something like: "a(b*)(c+)",
+ -- then Match_Array(1) will be the indexes of the substring that matched
+ -- "b*" and Match_Array(2) will be the substring that matched "c+".
+ --
+ -- The number of parenthesis groups that can be retrieved is unlimited, and
+ -- all the Match subprograms below can use a Match_Array of any size.
+ -- Indexes that do not have any matching parenthesis are set to No_Match.
+
+ No_Match : constant Match_Location := (First => 0, Last => 0);
+ -- The No_Match constant is (0, 0) to differentiate between matching a null
+ -- string at position 1, which uses (1, 0) and no match at all.
+
+ ---------------------------------
+ -- Pattern_Matcher Compilation --
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ -- The subprograms here are used to precompile regular expressions for use
+ -- in subsequent Match calls. Precompilation improves efficiency if the
+ -- same regular expression is to be used in more than one Match call.
+
+ type Pattern_Matcher (Size : Program_Size) is private;
+ -- Type used to represent a regular expression compiled into byte code
+
+ Never_Match : constant Pattern_Matcher;
+ -- A regular expression that never matches anything
+
+ function Compile
+ (Expression : String;
+ Flags : Regexp_Flags := No_Flags) return Pattern_Matcher;
+ -- Compile a regular expression into internal code
+ --
+ -- Raises Expression_Error if Expression is not a legal regular expression
+ --
+ -- The appropriate size is calculated automatically to correspond to the
+ -- provided expression. This is the normal default method of compilation.
+ -- Note that it is generally not possible to assign the result of two
+ -- different calls to this Compile function to the same Pattern_Matcher
+ -- variable, since the sizes will differ.
+ --
+ -- Flags is the default value to use to set properties for Expression
+ -- (e.g. case sensitivity,...).
+
+ procedure Compile
+ (Matcher : out Pattern_Matcher;
+ Expression : String;
+ Final_Code_Size : out Program_Size;
+ Flags : Regexp_Flags := No_Flags);
+ -- Compile a regular expression into into internal code
+
+ -- This procedure is significantly faster than the Compile function since
+ -- it avoids the extra step of precomputing the required size.
+ --
+ -- However, it requires the user to provide a Pattern_Matcher variable
+ -- whose size is preset to a large enough value. One advantage of this
+ -- approach, in addition to the improved efficiency, is that the same
+ -- Pattern_Matcher variable can be used to hold the compiled code for
+ -- several different regular expressions by setting a size that is large
+ -- enough to accomodate all possibilities.
+ --
+ -- In this version of the procedure call, the actual required code size is
+ -- returned. Also if Matcher.Size is zero on entry, then the resulting code
+ -- is not stored. A call with Matcher.Size set to Auto_Size can thus be
+ -- used to determine the space required for compiling the given regular
+ -- expression.
+ --
+ -- This function raises Storage_Error if Matcher is too small to hold
+ -- the resulting code (i.e. Matcher.Size has too small a value).
+ --
+ -- Expression_Error is raised if the string Expression does not contain
+ -- a valid regular expression.

+ -- sensitivity,...).

+ -------------

+ -- The resulting string can be used in a regular expression to match
+ -- exactly Str, whatever character was present in Str.
+
+ --------------
+ -- Matching --
+ --------------
+
+ -- The Match subprograms are given a regular expression in string
+ -- form, and perform the corresponding match. The following parameters
+ -- are present in all forms of the Match call.
+
+ -- Expression contains the regular expression to be matched as a string
+
+ -- Data contains the string to be matched
+
+ -- Data_First is the lower bound for the match, i.e. Data (Data_First)
+ -- will be the first character to be examined. If Data_First is set to
+ -- the special value of -1 (the default), then the first character to
+ -- be examined is Data (Data_First). However, the regular expression
+ -- character ^ (start of string) still refers to the first character
+ -- of the full string (Data (Data'First)), which is why there is a
+ -- separate mechanism for specifying Data_First.
+
+ -- Data_Last is the upper bound for the match, i.e. Data (Data_Last)
+ -- will be the last character to be examined. If Data_Last is set to
+ -- the special value of Positive'Last (the default), then the last
+ -- character to be examined is Data (Data_Last). However, the regular
+ -- expression character $ (end of string) still refers to the last
+ -- character of the full string (Data (Data'Last)), which is why there
+ -- is a separate mechanism for specifying Data_Last.
+
+ -- Note: the use of Data_First and Data_Last is not equivalent to
+ -- simply passing a slice as Expression because of the handling of
+ -- regular expression characters ^ and $.
+
+ -- Size is the size allocated for the compiled byte code. Normally
+ -- this is defaulted to Auto_Size which means that the appropriate
+ -- size is allocated automatically. It is possible to specify an
+ -- explicit size, which must be sufficiently large. This slightly
+ -- increases the efficiency by avoiding the extra step of computing
+ -- the appropriate size.
+
+ -- The following exceptions can be raised in calls to Match
+ --
+ -- Storage_Error is raised if a non-zero value is given for Size
+ -- and it is too small to hold the compiled byte code.
