Hello, I'm trying to make a regex comparison with D, based off of
this article: https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html
I've written my code like so:
import std.stdio, std.regex;
void main(string argv[]) {
string m = argv[1];
auto p =
ctRegex!("a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
if (match(m, p)) {
writeln("match");
} else {
writeln("no match");
}
}
And the compiler goes into swap. Doing it at runtime is no
better. I was under the impression that this particular regex was
used for showcasing the Thompson NFA which D claims to be using.
The golang code version of this runs fine, which makes me think
that maybe D isn't using the correct regex engine for this
particular regex. Or perhaps I'm using this wrong?
