#34121 [Asn]: Add DFA support to preg_match() function

ID: 34121 Updated by: nlopess@php.net Reported By: nlopess@php.net Status: Assigned Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-08-13 (dev) Assigned To: andrei New Comment: OK, patch revised. I've added support for partial matching. This can be usefull, for example, in a CLI app to beep when a user enters a bad char (by doing partial matching when a new char comes in). TODO: make preg_match_all() fetch all the data (instead of the hardcoded limit). this may be tricky.

It isn't completed (yet), because I would like to receive your feedback first before continuing. patch: http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~ncpl/php_pcre_dfa.txt example: http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~ncpl/dfa_example.php TODO: - currently preg_match_*() allocs memory for captures based on the number of capturing parentheses. But this needs to be changed for the DFA mode. - make partial matching working. The only thing it needs to be done is to save the workspace table in the cache and reuse it when calling the pcre_dfa_exec() function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34121&edit=1
