Struct Builder

struct Builder { ... }

A builder for a PikeVM.

This builder permits configuring options for the syntax of a pattern, the NFA construction and the PikeVM construction. This builder is different from a general purpose regex builder in that it permits fine grain configuration of the construction process. The trade off for this is complexity, and the possibility of setting a configuration that might not make sense. For example, there are two different UTF-8 modes:

Generally speaking, callers will want to either enable all of these or disable all of these.

Example

This example shows how to disable UTF-8 mode in the syntax and the regex itself. This is generally what you want for matching on arbitrary bytes.

use regex_automata::{
    nfa::thompson::{self, pikevm::PikeVM},
    util::syntax,
    Match,
};

let re = PikeVM::builder()
    .syntax(syntax::Config::new().utf8(false))
    .thompson(thompson::Config::new().utf8(false))
    .build(r"foo(?-u:[^b])ar.*")?;
let mut cache = re.create_cache();

let haystack = b"\xFEfoo\xFFarzz\xE2\x98\xFF\n";
let expected = Some(Match::must(0, 1..9));
let got = re.find_iter(&mut cache, haystack).next();
assert_eq!(expected, got);
// Notice that `(?-u:[^b])` matches invalid UTF-8,
// but the subsequent `.*` does not! Disabling UTF-8
// on the syntax permits this.
//
// N.B. This example does not show the impact of
// disabling UTF-8 mode on a PikeVM Config, since that
// only impacts regexes that can produce matches of
// length 0.
assert_eq!(b"foo\xFFarzz", &haystack[got.unwrap().range()]);

# Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())

Implementations

impl Builder

fn new() -> Builder

Create a new PikeVM builder with its default configuration.

fn build(self: &Self, pattern: &str) -> Result<PikeVM, BuildError>

Build a PikeVM from the given pattern.

If there was a problem parsing or compiling the pattern, then an error is returned.

fn build_many<P: AsRef<str>>(self: &Self, patterns: &[P]) -> Result<PikeVM, BuildError>

Build a PikeVM from the given patterns.

fn build_from_nfa(self: &Self, nfa: NFA) -> Result<PikeVM, BuildError>

Build a PikeVM directly from its NFA.

Note that when using this method, any configuration that applies to the construction of the NFA itself will of course be ignored, since the NFA given here is already built.

fn configure(self: &mut Self, config: Config) -> &mut Builder

Apply the given PikeVM configuration options to this builder.

fn syntax(self: &mut Self, config: Config) -> &mut Builder

Set the syntax configuration for this builder using syntax::Config.

This permits setting things like case insensitivity, Unicode and multi line mode.

These settings only apply when constructing a PikeVM directly from a pattern.

fn thompson(self: &mut Self, config: Config) -> &mut Builder

Set the Thompson NFA configuration for this builder using nfa::thompson::Config.

This permits setting things like if additional time should be spent shrinking the size of the NFA.

These settings only apply when constructing a PikeVM directly from a pattern.
