Hi,
I've put together an extension which wraps RE2 - an alternative to
PCRE which can be much faster and be constrained to memory limits, at
the expense of backreferences and generalized zero-width assertions.
The RE2 homepage is at http://code.google.com/p/re2/
The extension mirrors ext/pcre's functions, so aside from the syntax
differences it should be a drop-in replacement.
It also provides a couple of classes. The RE2 class represents a
compiled pattern, and can be passed to any of the matching functions
instead of a string, to save the compilation time when used
repeatedly. The RE2_Options class allows some options to be set per
pattern.
The code can be found at: https://github.com/arraypad/php-re2
I'd like to publish this extension in PECL if it looks alright to
everyone, and I'd appreciate any feedback.
Regards,
Arpad
