strf VS RE2

You might get interested in trying strf library instead:

If you want a formatting library that supports well char8_t and UTF, you might get interested in the one I'm developing: Strf.

You might like the strf formatting library then

You can also use https://github.com/robhz786/strf to convert utf-8 to utf-32 ( as demonstrated here).

Format strings enable the use of tools like gettex. However, with the strf formatting library, It is possible to use them without a format string.

So it is a formatting library (strf), and if one wants to make a type xyz printable, one can either specialize a template or overload tag_invoke function, like below:

The Strf formatting library may solve your problem:

There is the strf formatting library. Its current version (0.14) is not working well in CUDA, but I'm working to fix this into the next release, which should come soon. The usage would be:

strf

Looking at the benchmark where C++ is worst compared to other languages, it's depending on the library used. I would guess if they used Google's re2 Regex library instead of Boost's, the result would be different.

That page says it just includes "some of the most common special characters", and following the link to the Examples page in turn includes a link to the full list.

Python uses backtracking, so this probably isn't O(n), especially with the ability to choose the dictionary.

But with there are non-backtracking matchers which would make this O(n). Here's re2 from https://github.com/google/re2 :

  >>> import re2

RE2 is a Google regular expression library

google's regex library: https://github.com/google/re2

I am currently working with Regex, specifically Re2, and was wondering if there is a real difference between the above expressions for repeated sub-regex.

I ported Google RE2, a regular expression library, to SPVM as Resource::Re2, and created SPVM::Regex, a wrapper for it.

I searched for I found that there is a Perl compatible regular expression called Google RE2. It is written in C++, and with Google RE2, I can use Perl-compatible regular expressions as a library.

Yes, but there is an interesting clarification here. RE2 has used the "caching" approach documented in the Ruby bug ticket linked for quite some time (since its birth?): https://github.com/google/re2/blob/954656f47fe8fb505d4818da1...

It is mentioned only briefly in Cox's article on regex matching in the wild. Look for the word "bitstate": https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp3.html

I didn't know Perl had implemented this trick too.

The paper[1] cited in the Ruby bug ticket was published very recently. When I first read the Ruby bug ticket, I immediately wondered how they sidestepped the memory use problem. The paper's abstract seems to suggest there is some technique for doing so, as it rebuffs the idea of doing "full" memoization. Alas, I do not have access the paper. (Which is fucking ridiculous.)
