|

26
|
|
27 ;; The "opt" in "regexp-opt" stands for "optim\\(al\\|i\\(se\\|ze\\)\\)".
|
|
28 ;;
|
|
29 ;; This package generates a regexp from a given list of strings (which matches
|
|
30 ;; one of those strings) so that the regexp generated by:
|
|
31 ;;
|
|
32 ;; (regexp-opt strings)
|
|
33 ;;
|
|
34 ;; is equivalent to, but more efficient than, the regexp generated by:
|
|
35 ;;
|
|
36 ;; (mapconcat 'regexp-quote strings "\\|")
|
|
37 ;;
|
|
38 ;; For example:
|
|
39 ;;
|
|
40 ;; (let ((strings '("cond" "if" "when" "unless" "while"
|
|
41 ;; "let" "let*" "progn" "prog1" "prog2"
|
|
42 ;; "save-restriction" "save-excursion" "save-window-excursion"
|
|
43 ;; "save-current-buffer" "save-match-data"
|
|
44 ;; "catch" "throw" "unwind-protect" "condition-case")))
|
|
45 ;; (concat "(" (regexp-opt strings t) "\\>"))
|
|
46 ;; => "(\\(c\\(atch\\|ond\\(ition-case\\)?\\)\\|if\\|let\\*?\\|prog[12n]\\|save-\\(current-buffer\\|excursion\\|match-data\\|restriction\\|window-excursion\\)\\|throw\\|un\\(less\\|wind-protect\\)\\|wh\\(en\\|ile\\)\\)\\>"
|
|
47 ;;
|
|
48 ;; Searching using the above example `regexp-opt' regexp takes approximately
|
|
49 ;; two-thirds of the time taken using the equivalent `mapconcat' regexp.
|
|
50
|
|
51 ;; Since this package was written to produce efficient regexps, not regexps
|
|
52 ;; efficiently, it is probably not a good idea to in-line too many calls in
|
|
53 ;; your code, unless you use the following trick with `eval-when-compile':
|
|
54 ;;
|
|
55 ;; (defvar definition-regexp
|
|
56 ;; (eval-when-compile
|
|
57 ;; (concat "^("
|
|
58 ;; (regexp-opt '("defun" "defsubst" "defmacro" "defalias"
|
|
59 ;; "defvar" "defconst") t)
|
|
60 ;; "\\>")))
|
|
61 ;;
|
|
62 ;; The `byte-compile' code will be as if you had defined the variable thus:
|
|
63 ;;
|
|
64 ;; (defvar definition-regexp
|
|
65 ;; "^(\\(def\\(alias\\|const\\|macro\\|subst\\|un\\|var\\)\\)\\>")
|
|
66 ;;
|
|
67 ;; Note that if you use this trick for all instances of `regexp-opt' and
|
|
68 ;; `regexp-opt-depth' in your code, regexp-opt.el would only have to be loaded
|
|
69 ;; at compile time. But note also that using this trick means that should
|
|
70 ;; regexp-opt.el be changed, perhaps to fix a bug or to add a feature to
|
|
71 ;; improve the efficiency of `regexp-opt' regexps, you would have to recompile
|
|
72 ;; your code for such changes to have effect in your code.
|
|
73
|
|
74 ;; Originally written for font-lock.el, from an idea from Stig's hl319.el, with
|
|
75 ;; thanks for ideas also to Michael Ernst, Bob Glickstein and Dan Nicolaescu.
|
|
76 ;; Please don't tell me that it doesn't produce optimal regexps; I know that
|
|
77 ;; already. For example, the above explanation for the meaning of "opt" would
|
|
78 ;; be more efficient as "optim\\(al\\|i[sz]e\\)", but this requires complex
|
|
79 ;; forward looking. But (ideas or) code to improve things (are) is welcome.
