Does this "know" already to do a simply string compare to test the resulting regex? (And/or does compiling of the regex's already handle that case for any regex that is effectively a fixed string?) For me that has been the main reason to use a fixed-string pattern type. > For wildcards, we should simply add another static that converts ? to . and * > to .*. Do we want to support more interesting globbing things like []? Are these supported mainly because the pattern may be coming from user input, or because internally the match implementation can be more efficient? If the latter, I'm not sure it is worth even having a "glob" pattern type. If the former, then supporting as many shell-isms as possible is probably useful. -- Matthew _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
