27;;; Commentary:
28
29;; This is another implementation of sexp-form regular expressions.
30;; It was unfortunately written without being aware of the Sregex
31;; package coming with Emacs, but as things stand, Rx completely
32;; covers all regexp features, which Sregex doesn't, doesn't suffer
33;; from the bugs mentioned in the commentary section of Sregex, and
34;; uses a nicer syntax (IMHO, of course :-).
35
36;; This significantly extended version of the original, is almost
37;; compatible with Sregex.  The only incompatibility I (fx) know of is
38;; that the `repeat' form can't have multiple regexp args.
39
40;; Now alternative forms are provided for a degree of compatibility
41;; with Shivers' attempted definitive SRE notation
42;; <URL:http://www.ai.mit.edu/~/shivers/sre.txt>.  SRE forms not
43;; catered for include: dsm, uncase, w/case, w/nocase, ,@<exp>,
44;; ,<exp>, (word ...), word+, posix-string, and character class forms.
45;; Some forms are inconsistent with SRE, either for historical reasons
46;; or because of the implementation -- simple translation into Emacs
47;; regexp strings.  These include: any, word.  Also, case-sensitivity
48;; and greediness are controlled by variables external to the regexp,
49;; and you need to feed the forms to the `posix-' functions to get
50;; SRE's POSIX semantics.  There are probably more difficulties.
51
52;; Rx translates a sexp notation for regular expressions into the
53;; usual string notation.  The translation can be done at compile-time
54;; by using the `rx' macro.  It can be done at run-time by calling
55;; function `rx-to-string'.  See the documentation of `rx' for a
56;; complete description of the sexp notation.
57;;
58;; Some examples of string regexps and their sexp counterparts:
59;;
60;; "^[a-z]*"
61;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
62;;
63;; "\n[^ \t]"
64;; (rx (and "\n" (not blank))), or
65;; (rx (and "\n" (not (any " \t"))))
66;;
67;; "\\*\\*\\* EOOH \\*\\*\\*\n"
68;; (rx "*** EOOH ***\n")
69;;
70;; "\\<\\(catch\\|finally\\)\\>[^_]"
71;; (rx (and word-start (submatch (or "catch" "finally")) word-end
72;;          (not (any ?_))))
73;;
74;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
75;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
76;;          (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
77;;
78;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
79;; (rx (and line-start
80;;          "content-transfer-encoding:"
81;;          (+ (? ?\n)) blank
82;;	    "quoted-printable"
83;;	    (+ (? ?\n)) blank))
84;;
85;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
86;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
87;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
88;;
89;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
90;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
91;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
92;;
93;; "^;;\\s-*\n\\|^\n"
94;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
95;;         (and line-start ?\n)))
96;;
97;; "\\$[I]d: [^ ]+ \\([^ ]+\\) "
98;; (rx (and "$Id: "
99;;          (1+ (not (in " ")))
100;;          " "
101;;          (submatch (1+ (not (in " "))))
102;;          " "))
103;;
104;; "\\\\\\\\\\[\\w+"
105;; (rx (and ?\\ ?\\ ?\[ (1+ word)))
106;;

893     produce a non-greedy regexp for SEXP.  Normally, regexps matching
894     zero or more occurrences of something are \"greedy\" in that they
895     match as much as they can, as long as the overall regexp can
896     still match.  A non-greedy regexp matches as little as possible.

910     of `rx-greedy-flag'.

959     `regexp-quote' it.
