Constructor Detail

OpGreedyFixed

public OpGreedyFixed(Operation op,
                     int min,
                     int max,
                     int len)

Method Detail

getMatchLength

public int getMatchLength()

Description copied from class: Operation

Get the length of the matches returned by this operation if they are fixed-length

Overrides:

getMatchLength in class Operation.OpRepeat

Returns:

the length of the matches, or -1 if the length is variable

matchesEmptyString

public int matchesEmptyString()

Description copied from class: Operation

Ask whether the regular expression is known, after static analysis, to match a zero-length string

Overrides:

matchesEmptyString in class Operation.OpRepeat

Returns:

a value indicating whether the regex is statically known to match a zero-length string. Specifically:

• returns Operation.MATCHES_ZLS_AT_START if the expression is statically known to match a zero-length string at the start of the supplied input;
• returns Operation.MATCHES_ZLS_AT_END if it is statically known to return a zero-length string at the end of the supplied input;
• returns Operation.MATCHES_ZLS_ANYWHERE if it is statically known to match a zero-length string anywhere in the input.
• returns Operation.MATCHES_ZLS_NEVER if it is statically known that the regex will never match a zero length string.

Returning 0 means that it is not known statically whether or not the regex will match a zero-length string; this case typically arises when back-references are involved.

optimize

public Operation optimize(REProgram program,
                          REFlags flags)

Description copied from class: Operation

Optimize the operation

Overrides:

optimize in class Operation.OpRepeat

Parameters:

program - the program being optimized

flags - the regular expression flags

Returns:

the optimized operation

iterateMatches

public IntIterator iterateMatches(REMatcher matcher,
                                  int position)

Description copied from class: Operation

Get an iterator returning all the matches for this operation

Overrides:

iterateMatches in class Operation.OpRepeat

Parameters:

matcher - supplies the context for the matching; may be updated with information about captured groups

position - the start position to seek a match

Returns:

an iterator returning the endpoints of all matches starting at the supplied position
