Expand description

The underlying kind of an arbitrary Hir expression.

An HirKind is principally useful for doing case analysis on the type of a regular expression. If you’re looking to build new Hir values, then you must use the smart constructors defined on Hir, like Hir::repetition, to build new Hir values. The API intentionally does not expose any way of building an Hir directly from an HirKind.

Variants§

§

Empty

The empty regular expression, which matches everything, including the empty string.

§

Literal(Literal)

A literalstring that matches exactly these bytes.

§

Class(Class)

A single character class that matches any of the characters in the class. A class can either consist of Unicode scalar values as characters, or it can use bytes.

A class may be empty. In which case, it matches nothing.

§

Look(Look)

A look-around assertion. A look-around match always has zero length.

§

Repetition(Repetition)

A repetition operation applied to a sub-expression.

§

Capture(Capture)

A capturing group, which contains a sub-expression.

§

Concat(Vec<Hir>)

A concatenation of expressions.

A concatenation matches only if each of its sub-expressions match one after the other.

Concatenations are guaranteed by Hir’s smart constructors to always have at least two sub-expressions.

§

Alternation(Vec<Hir>)

An alternation of expressions.

An alternation matches only if at least one of its sub-expressions match. If multiple sub-expressions match, then the leftmost is preferred.

Alternations are guaranteed by Hir’s smart constructors to always have at least two sub-expressions.
