Expand description
Chimera is a software regular expression matching engine that is a hybrid of Hyperscan and PCRE.
The design goals of Chimera are to fully support PCRE syntax as well as to take advantage of the high performance nature of Hyperscan.
Examples
let db: Database = "/test/i".parse().unwrap();
let scratch = db.alloc_scratch().unwrap();
let mut matches = vec![];
let mut errors = vec![];
db.scan("some test data", &scratch, |id, from, to, _flags, captured| {
matches.push((from, to));
Matching::Continue
}, |error_type, id| {
errors.push((error_type, id));
Matching::Skip
}).unwrap();
assert_eq!(matches, vec![(5, 9)]);
assert_eq!(errors, vec![]);Modules
