[section:examples Test and Example Programs]

[h4 Test Programs]

[*regress:]

A regression test application that gives the matching/searching algorithms a 
full workout. The presence of this program is your guarantee that the 
library will behave as claimed - at least as far as those items tested 
are concerned - if anyone spots anything that isn't being tested I'd be 
glad to hear about it.

Directory: [@../../test/regress libs/regex/test/regress].

Files: See directory.

[*bad_expression_test:]

Verifies that "bad" regular expressions don't cause the matcher to go into 
infinite loops, but to throw an exception instead.

Directory: [@../../test/pathology libs/regex/test/pathology].

Files: [@../../test/pathology/bad_expression_test.cpp bad_expression_test.cpp].

[*recursion_test:]

Verifies that the matcher can't overrun the stack (no matter what the expression).

Directory: [@../../test/pathology libs/regex/test/pathology].

Files: [@../../test/pathology/recursion_test.cpp recursion_test.cpp].

[*concepts:]

Verifies that the library meets all documented concepts (a compile only test).

Directory: [@../../test/concepts libs/regex/test/concepts].

Files: [@../../test/concepts/concept_check.cpp concept_check.cpp].

[*captures_test:]

Test code for captures.

Directory: [@../../test/captures libs/test/captures].

Files: [@../../test/captures/captures_test.cpp captures_test.cpp].

[h4 Example programs]

[*grep]

A simple grep implementation, run with the -h command line option to find out its usage.

Files: [@../../example/grep/grep.cpp grep.cpp]

[*timer.exe]

A simple interactive expression matching application, the results of all 
matches are timed, allowing the programmer to optimize their regular expressions 
where performance is critical.

Files: [@../../example/timer/regex_timer.cpp regex_timer.cpp].
