Classes

class  real::detail::compiler
 Compiles an ast into a dynamic_program (NFA bytecode). More...
 

Namespaces

namespace  real
 
namespace  real::detail
 

Functions

constexpr bool real::detail::is_any_non_ascii (const std::vector< code_range > &ranges)
 Whether ranges is exactly the whole non-ASCII space [U+0080, U+10FFFF] — the "any non-ASCII code point" shape emitted by the compact compiler::emit_codepoint_class.
 
constexpr class_def real::detail::unicode_casefold (const class_def &in)
 Expands a character class to its Unicode simple case-fold closure (text-mode icase).
 
constexpr dynamic_program real::detail::compile (const ast &tree, flags compile_flags)
 Compiles tree to an NFA program (convenience over compiler).
 

Detailed Description

AST → NFA program, via Thompson construction.

The emitted program always has the shape save 0, <body>, save 1, match, so slots 0/1 delimit group 0 (the whole match).

Multi-codepoint semantics are compiled down to byte-level alternatives (RE2-style): . and negated classes expand to UTF-8 lead/continuation byte classes joined by split/jump, so the engine itself only ever steps one byte at a time, in lock-step — which preserves linear time.

Branch targets are emitted as placeholders and patched only through the patch_primary / patch_secondary helpers, never by rewriting emitted instructions wholesale.
