Oniguruma

https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma

Oniguruma is a modern and flexible regular expressions library. It encompasses features from different regular expression implementations that traditionally exist in different languages. It comes close to being a complete superset of all regular expression features found in other regular expression implementations.

Its features include: Character encoding can be specified per regular expression object. Several regular expression types are supported: * Oniguruma (native) * POSIX * Grep * GNU Regex * Perl * Java * Ruby * Emacs

Supported character encodings:

ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE, EUC-JP, EUC-TW, EUC-KR, EUC-CN, Shift_JIS, Big5, GB18030, KOI8-R, CP1251, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4, ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9, ISO-8859-10, ISO-8859-11, ISO-8859-13, ISO-8859-14, ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-16

    make uninstall

  • configuration check

    onig-config --cflags onig-config --libs onig-config --prefix onig-config --exec-prefix

Case 2: Windows 64/32bit platform (Visual Studio)

execute make_win64 or make_win32

  onig_s.lib:  static link library
  onig.dll:    dynamic link library
  • test (ASCII/Shift_JIS)

    1. cd src
    2. copy ..\windows\testc.c .
    3. nmake -f Makefile.windows ctest

(I have checked by Visual Studio Community 2015)

Regular Expressions

See doc/RE or doc/RE.ja for Japanese.

Usage

Include oniguruma.h in your program. (Oniguruma API) See doc/API for Oniguruma API.

If you want to disable UChar type (== unsigned char) definition in oniguruma.h, define ONIG_ESCAPE_UCHAR_COLLISION and then include oniguruma.h.

If you want to disable regex_t type definition in oniguruma.h, define ONIG_ESCAPE_REGEX_T_COLLISION and then include oniguruma.h.

Example of the compiling/linking command line in Unix or Cygwin, (prefix == /usr/local case)

cc sample.c -L/usr/local/lib -lonig

If you want to use static link library(onig_s.lib) in Win32, add option -DONIG_EXTERN=extern to C compiler.
