Compile-time regular expression parsing for go-lang.
regen generates a custom regular expression matching function for a given
pattern. It can be used with go generate. This is currently a proof of
concept: it does not support all of the common regular expression
meta-characters and the matching implementation can be made much faster.
The current implementation is based on Regular Expression Matching: the Virtual Machine Approach by Russ Cox.
#TODOs
- Implement character classes and wildcards.
- Implement different backends (like the D-lang regex library in phobos)
