Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-12-20 Severity: wishlist * Package name : cl-ppcre Version : Unversioned, initial release Upstream Author : Edi Weithz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://weitz.de/cl-pprcre/ * License : BSD Description : Portable Regular Express Library for Common Lisp
CL-PPCRE is a portable regular expression library for Common Lisp which has the following features: * It is compatible with Perl. (Well - as far as you can be compatible with a language defined by its ever-changing implementation. Currently, as of December 2002, CL-PPCRE is more compatible with the regex semantics of Perl 5.8.0 than, say, Perl 5.6.1 is...:) It even correctly parses and applies Jeffrey Friedl's famous 6600-byte long RFC822 address pattern. * It is fast. If compiled with CMUCL it outperforms Perl's highly optimized regex engine (written in C) which to my knowledge is faster than most other regex engines around. If compiled with CLISP it is still comparable to CLISP's own regex implementation which is also written in C. * It is portable, i.e. the code aims to be strictly ANSI-compliant. If you encounter any deviations this is an error and should be reported to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux tiger 2.4.19 #2 SMP Tue Nov 12 14:20:05 MST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
