|
||
<P>Boost.regex is intended to conform to the <A href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n1429.htm">
|
||
regular expression standardization proposal</A>, which will appear in a
|
||
future C++ standard technical report (and hopefully in a future version of the
|
||
standard). Currently there are some differences in how the regular
|
||
expression traits classes are defined, these will be fixed in a future release.</P>
|
||
<H3>ECMAScript / JavaScript</H3>
|
||
<P>All of the ECMAScript regular expression syntax features are supported, except
|
||
that:</P>
|
||
<P>Negated class escapes (\S, \D and \W) are not permitted inside character class
|
||
definitions ( [...] ).</P>
|
||
<P>The escape sequence \u matches any upper case character (the same as
|
||
[[:upper:]]) rather than a Unicode escape sequence; use \x{DDDD} for
|
||
Unicode escape sequences.</P>
|
||
<H3>Perl</H3>
|
||
<P>Almost all Perl features are supported, except for:</P>
|
||
<P>\N{name} Use [[:name:]] instead.</P>
|
||
<P>\pP and \PP</P>
|
||
<P>(?imsx-imsx)</P>
|
||
<P>(?<=pattern)</P>
|
||
<P>(?<!pattern)</P>
|
||
<P>(?{code})</P>
|
||
<P>(??{code})</P>
|
||
<P>(?(condition)yes-pattern) and (?(condition)yes-pattern|no-pattern)</P>
|
||
<P>These embarrassments / limitations will be removed in due course, mainly
|
||
dependent upon user demand.</P>
|
||
<H3>POSIX</H3>
|
||
<P>All the POSIX basic and extended regular expression features are supported,
|
||
except that:</P>
|
||
<P>No character collating names are recognized except those specified in the POSIX
|
||
standard for the C locale, unless they are explicitly registered with the
|
||
traits class.</P>
|
||
<P>Character equivalence classes ( [[=a=]] etc) are probably buggy except on
|
||
Win32. Implementing this feature requires knowledge of the format of the
|
||
string sort keys produced by the system; if you need this, and the default
|
||
implementation doesn't work on your platform, then you will need to supply a
|
||
custom traits class.</P>
