Hi,
I've implemented the basic regexp functionality using few simple template classes. Any regexp can be created by inserting the template classes one into another in the required order. Although it's in the design state, I'd like to find out if there's any interest in providing this functionality.
Let me present you some short introduction to the topic.
Some basic classes include - String Match (full string matching) - Is-in Match (matches any character in the list) - Or Match - Quantity
and so on.
These are the "building blocks" of the regexp. Each class does a very little bit but when combined in the specific order, you gain a clearly defined string matching algorithm of any kind and any complexity.
In addition, it's quite simple to add any missing functionality. You just need to define you're desired algorithm and mix it with the others.
How is that significantly different from what spirit or xpressive do?
