pub struct Literal { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A single literal extracted from an Hir expression.

A literal is composed of two things:

  • A sequence of bytes. No guarantees with respect to UTF-8 are provided. In particular, even if the regex a literal is extracted from is UTF-8, the literal extracted may not be valid UTF-8. (For example, if an Extractor limit resulted in trimming a literal in a way that splits a codepoint.)
  • Whether the literal is “exact” or not. An “exact” literal means that it has not been trimmed, and may continue to be extended. If a literal is “exact” after visiting the entire Hir expression, then this implies that the literal leads to a match state. (Although it doesn’t necessarily imply all occurrences of the literal correspond to a match of the regex, since literal extraction ignores look-around assertions.)

Implementations§

source§

impl Literal

source

pub fn exact<B: Into<Vec<u8>>>(bytes: B) -> Literal

Returns a new exact literal containing the bytes given.

source

pub fn inexact<B: Into<Vec<u8>>>(bytes: B) -> Literal

Returns a new inexact literal containing the bytes given.

source

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns the bytes in this literal.

source

pub fn into_bytes(self) -> Vec<u8>

Yields ownership of the bytes inside this literal.

Note that this throws away whether the literal is “exact” or not.

source

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length of this literal in bytes.

source

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if and only if this literal has zero bytes.

source

pub fn is_exact(&self) -> bool

Returns true if and only if this literal is exact.

source

pub fn make_inexact(&mut self)

Marks this literal as inexact.

Inexact literals can never be extended. For example, Seq::cross_forward will not extend inexact literals.

source

pub fn reverse(&mut self)

Reverse the bytes in this literal.

source

pub fn extend(&mut self, lit: &Literal)

Extend this literal with the literal given.

If this literal is inexact, then this is a no-op.

source

pub fn keep_first_bytes(&mut self, len: usize)

Trims this literal such that only the first len bytes remain. If this literal has fewer than len bytes, then it remains unchanged. Otherwise, the literal is marked as inexact.

source

pub fn keep_last_bytes(&mut self, len: usize)

Trims this literal such that only the last len bytes remain. If this literal has fewer than len bytes, then it remains unchanged. Otherwise, the literal is marked as inexact.
