Jëger

A regex engine.

Syntax

The aim was to follow Vim's regex syntax. Esoteric special characters such as "\zs" are not implemented, however the just is supported.

match_t * regex_match(const regex_t * const regex, const char * const string, const bool start_of_string);

Returns a sentinel terminated array of match_t objects. The sentinel object is defined as (match_t){ .position = -1, .width = -1, };. The position and width of non-sentinel match_ts is guaranteed to be => 0.
