Re: [boost] [regex] any interest in finite automata-based regexengine?

I suppose I should have tried to separate the parser from the back-end state machine format more, so that different engines can be plugged in at will, but there are only so many times I think I can stand to rewrite this stuff :-/

On the other hand, and on reflection: take a look at the public interfaces for perl_matcher and basic_regex_creator in the new code, if your state machine code could emulate these interfaces, then it might be possible to slot it straight in as a possible alternative (with a bit of traits class magic to choose which back end actually gets used).
