DESCRIPTION
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
re2c is a tool for generating C-based recognizers from regular expressions.
|
|
re2c-based scanners are efficient: for programming languages, given similar
|
|
specifications, a re2c-based scanner is typically almost twice as fast as a
|
|
flex-based scanner with little or no increase in size (possibly a decrease
|
|
on cisc architectures). Indeed, re2c-based scanners are quite competitive with
|
|
hand-crafted ones.
|
|
|
|
Unlike flex, re2c does not generate complete scanners: the user must supply some
|
|
interface code. While this code is not bulky (about 50-100 lines for a
|
|
flex-like scanner; see the man page and examples in the distribution) careful
|
|
coding is required for efficiency (and correctness). One advantage of this
|
|
arrangement is that the generated code is not tied to any particular input
|
|
model.

BUILD
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Contents:
|
|
1. simple build
|
|
2. bootstrap
|
|
3. out-of-source build
|
|
4. testing
|
|
5. rebuild documentation
|
|
6. build for windows with mingw
|
|
7. build from git
|
|
|
|
1. Simplest possible build:
|
|
$ ./configure [--prefix=<prefix>]
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make install
|
|
This will build re2c and install it (binary and man page) to <prefix> (defaults
|
|
to /usr/local).
|
|
|
|
2. Bootstrap and rebuild:
|
|
$ ./configure [--prefix=<prefix>]
|
|
$ make bootstrap
|
|
$ make install
|
|
Usual bootstrap procedure: re2c uses re2c to compile its lexer.
|
|
1. build lexer (if make finds re2c binary in build directory, it will build lexer
|
|
from source, otherwize it will use prebuilt lexer)
|
|
2. build re2c
|
|
3. build lexer from source using re2c binary in build directory
|
|
4. rebuild re2c
|
|
|
|
3. Out-of-source build:
|
|
$ mkdir <build-directory>
|
|
$ cd <build-directory>
|
|
$ <path-to-configure>/configure [--prefix=<prefix>]
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
4. Testing:
|
|
$ make check
|
|
This will redirect test script output to file. If you want to see progress:
|
|
$ make tests
|
|
Testing under valgrind (takes a long time):
|
|
$ make vtests
|
|
|
|
5. Rebuild documentation (requires rst2man.py):
|
|
$ ./configure --enable-docs [--prefix=<prefix>]
|
|
$ make docs
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
6. Build for windows using mingw:
|
|
$ ../configure --host i686-w64-mingw32 [--prefix=<prefix>]
|
|
$ make
|
|
This will result into an executable re2c.exe, which can be tested with wine:
|
|
$ make wtests
|
|
|
|
7. If you want to build from git, you'll first need to generate autotools files:
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
