.SH NAME
re2c \- convert regular expressions to C/C++
.SH SYNOPSIS
\*(re [\fB-esbvh\fP] [\fB-o output\fP] file\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
\*(re is a preprocessor that generates C-based recognizers from regular
expressions.
The input to \*(re consists of C/C++ source interleaved with
comments of the form \fC/*!re2c\fP ... \fC*/\fP which contain
scanner specifications.
In the output these comments are replaced with code that, when
executed, will find the next input token and then execute
some user-supplied token-specific code.
For example, given the following code
.in +3
.nf
#define NULL ((char*) 0)
char *scan(char *p){
char *q;
#define YYCTYPE char
#define YYCURSOR p
#define YYLIMIT p
#define YYMARKER q
#define YYFILL(n)
/*!re2c
[0-9]+ {return YYCURSOR;}
[\\000-\\377] {return NULL;}
*/
}
.fi
.in -3
\*(re will generate
.in +3
.nf

#line 1 "simple.re"
#define NULL ((char*) 0)
char *scan(char *p){
char *q;
#define YYCTYPE char
#define YYCURSOR p
#define YYLIMIT p
#define YYMARKER q
#define YYFILL(n)
{
YYCTYPE yych;
unsigned int yyaccept;
goto yy0;
yy1: ++YYCURSOR;
yy0:
if((YYLIMIT - YYCURSOR) < 2) YYFILL(2);
yych = *YYCURSOR;
if(yych <= '/') goto yy4;
if(yych >= ':') goto yy4;
yy2: yych = *++YYCURSOR;
goto yy7;
yy3:
#line 10
{return YYCURSOR;}
yy4: yych = *++YYCURSOR;
yy5:
#line 11
{return NULL;}
yy6: ++YYCURSOR;
if(YYLIMIT == YYCURSOR) YYFILL(1);
yych = *YYCURSOR;
yy7: if(yych <= '/') goto yy3;
if(yych <= '9') goto yy6;
goto yy3;
}
#line 12
}
.fi
.in -3
.SH OPTIONS
\*(re provides the following options:
.TP
\fB-e\fP
Cross-compile from an ASCII platform to an EBCDIC one.
.TP
\fB-s\fP
Generate nested \fCif\fPs for some \fCswitch\fPes. Many compilers need this
assist to generate better code.
.TP
\fB-b\fP
Implies \fB-s\fP. Use bit vectors as well in the attempt to coax better
code out of the compiler. Most useful for specifications with more than a
few keywords (e.g. for most programming languages).
.TP
\fB-h\fP
\fB-?\fP
Invoke a short help.
.TP
\fB-v\fP
Show version information.
.TP
\fB-o output\fP
Specify the output file.
.SH "INTERFACE CODE"
Unlike other scanner generators, \*(re does not generate complete scanners:
the user must supply some interface code.
In particular, the user must define the following macros:
.TP
\fCYYCHAR\fP
Type used to hold an input symbol.
Usually \fCchar\fP or \fCunsigned char\fP.
.TP
\fCYYCURSOR\fP
\*(lx of type \fC*YYCHAR\fP that points to the current input symbol.
The generated code advances \fCYYCURSOR\fP as symbols are matched.
On entry, \fCYYCURSOR\fP is assumed to point to the first character of the
current token. On exit, \fCYYCURSOR\fP will point to the first character of
the following token.
.TP
\fCYLIMIT\fP
Expression of type \fC*YYCHAR\fP that marks the end of the buffer
(\fCYLIMIT[-1]\fP is the last character in the buffer).
The generated code repeatedly compares \fCYYCURSOR\fP to \fCYLIMIT\fP
to determine when the buffer needs (re)filling.
.TP
\fCYYMARKER\fP
\*(lx of type \fC*YYCHAR\fP.
The generated code saves backtracking information in \fCYYMARKER\fP.
.TP
\fCYYFILL(\fP\fIn\fP\fC)\fP
The generated code "calls" \fCYYFILL\fP when the buffer needs
(re)filling: at least \fIn\fP additional characters should
be provided. \fCYYFILL\fP should adjust \fCYYCURSOR\fP, \fCYYLIMIT\fP and
\fCYYMARKER\fP as needed. Note that for typical programming languages
\fIn\fP will be the length of the longest keyword plus one.
.SH "SCANNER SPECIFICATIONS"
Each scanner specification consists of a set of \fIrules\fP and name
definitions.
Rules consist of a regular expression along with a block of C/C++ code that
is to be executed when the associated regular expression is matched.
Name definitions are of the form
``\fIname\fP \fC=\fP \fIregular expression\fP\fC;\fP''.
.SH "SUMMARY OF RE2C REGULAR EXPRESSIONS"
.TP
\fC"foo"\fP
the literal string \fCfoo\fP.
ANSI-C escape sequences can be used.
.TP
\fC'foo'\fP
the literal string \fCfoo\fP (characters [a-zA-Z] treated case-insensitive).
ANSI-C escape sequences can be used.
.TP
\fC[xyz]\fP
a "character class"; in this case,
the \*(rx matches either an '\fCx\fP', a '\fCy\fP', or a '\fCz\fP'.
.TP
\fC[abj-oZ]\fP
a "character class" with a range in it;
matches an '\fCa\fP', a '\fCb\fP', any letter from '\fCj\fP' through '\fCo\fP',
or a '\fCZ\fP'.
.TP
\fIr\fP\fC\e\fP\fIs\fP
match any \fIr\fP which isn't an \fIs\fP. \fIr\fP and \fIs\fP must be regular expressions
which can be expressed as character classes.
.TP
\fIr\fP\fC*\fP
zero or more \fIr\fP's, where \fIr\fP is any regular expression
.TP
\fC\fIr\fP\fC+\fP
one or more \fIr\fP's
.TP
\fC\fIr\fP\fC?\fP
zero or one \fIr\fP's (that is, "an optional \fIr\fP")
.TP
name
the expansion of the "name" definition (see above)
.TP
\fC(\fP\fIr\fP\fC)\fP
an \fIr\fP; parentheses are used to override precedence
(see below)
.TP
\fIrs\fP
an \fIr\fP followed by an \fIs\fP ("concatenation")
.TP
\fIr\fP\fC|\fP\fIs\fP
either an \fIr\fP or an \fIs\fP
.TP
\fIr\fP\fC/\fP\fIs\fP
an \fIr\fP but only if it is followed by an \fIs\fP. The s is not part of
the matched text. This type of \*(rx is called "trailing context".
.TP
\fIr\fP\fC{\fP\fIn\fP\fC}\fP
matches \fIr\fP exactly \fIn\fP times.
.TP
\fIr\fP\fC{\fP\fIn\fP\fC,}\fP
matches \fIr\fP at least \fIn\fP times.
.TP
\fIr\fP\fC{\fP\fIn\fP\fC,\fP\fIm\fP\fC}\fP
matches \fIr\fP at least \fIn\fP but not more than \fIm\fP times.
.LP
The regular expressions listed above are grouped according to
precedence, from highest precedence at the top to lowest at the bottom.
Those grouped together have equal precedence.

.SH FEATURES
.LP
\*(re does not provide a default action:
the generated code assumes that the input
will consist of a sequence of tokens.
Typically this can be dealt with by adding a rule such as the one for
unexpected characters in the example above.
.LP
The user must arrange for a sentinel token to appear at the end of input
(and provide a rule for matching it):
\*(re does not provide an \fC<<EOF>>\fP expression.
If the source is from a null-byte terminated string, a
rule matching a null character will suffice. If the source is from a
file then the approach taken in the example can be used: pad the input with
a newline (or some other character that can't appear within another token);
upon recognizing such a character check to see if it is the sentinel
and act accordingly.
.LP
\*(re does not provide start conditions: use a separate scanner
specification for each start condition (as illustrated in the above example).
.LP
No [^x]. Use difference instead.
.SH BUGS
.LP
Only fixed length trailing context can be handled.
.LP
The maximum value appearing as a parameter \fIn\fP to \fCYYFILL\fP is not
provided to the generated code (this value is needed for constructing
the interface code).
Note that this value is usually relatively small: for
typical programming languages \fIn\fP will be the length of the longest
keyword plus one.
.LP
Difference only works for character sets.
.LP
The \*(re internal algorithms need documentation.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
