This is a Go language package providing support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE).
Install the package for Debian as follows:
sudo apt-get install libpcre++-dev
go get github.com/gijsbers/go-pcre
Go programs that depend on this package should import this package as follows to allow automatic downloading:
import "github.com/gijsbers/go-pcre"
To upgrade static libraries, run the following script on Linux and Mac to create the necessary static libs.
./build_lib.sh
The static library will be either libpcre_darwin.a or libpcre_linux.a
The library is compiled with the following options:
--enable-jit
--enable-utf
--disable-shared
--disable-cpp
--enable-newline-is-any
--with-match-limit=500000
--with-match-limit-recursion=50000
This is a clone of golang-pkg-pcre by Florian Weimer, which has been placed on Github by Glenn Brown, so it can be fetched automatically by Go's package installer.
Glenn Brown added FindIndex() and ReplaceAll()
to mimic functions in Go's default regexp package.
Mathieu Payeur Levallois added Matcher.ExtractString().
Malte Nuhn added GroupIndices() to retrieve positions of a matching group.
Chandra Sekar S added Index() and stopped invoking Match() twice in FindIndex().
Misakwa added support for pkg-config to locate libpcre.
Yann Ramin added ReplaceAllString() and changed Compile() return type to error.
Nikolay Sivko modified name2index() to return error instead of panic.
Harry Waye exposed raw pcre_exec.
Hazzadous added partial match support.
Pavel Gryaznov added support for JIT compilation.
