Compile time regular expression in C++

• cl-ppcre

  13 291 3.7 Common Lisp

  Common Lisp regular expression library

  

I've never used cl-ppcre myself, but its docs[1] claim that it provides compile-time regexes:

> CL-PPCRE uses compiler macros to pre-compile scanners at load time if possible. This happens if the compiler can determine that the regular expression (no matter if it's a string or an S-expression) is constant at compile time and is intended to save the time for creating scanners at execution time (probably creating the same scanner over and over in a loop).

  23 202 8.5 Python

  A biased barometer for gauging the relative speed of some regex engines on a curated set of tasks.

I'd love for someone to add this to rebar[1] so that we can get a good sense of how well it does against other general purpose regex engines. It will be a little tricky to add (since the build step will require emitting a C++ program and compiling it), but it should be possible.

  Compile time regular expressions in zig

Since other people are posting other lang implementations... someone did it for zig too (probably less polished than this C++ lib) [1]. It is nice that the regexes can be used at compile time too ().

: I think the difference between C++ template language and Zig comptime is that Zig's comptime is almost equal as Zig's regular language, whereas the experience of programming C++ templates almost feels like learning a separate, equally complex language.
