This module provides a function test_regex() that is functionally rather like regexp_matches(), but with additional debugging-oriented options and additional output. The debug options are somewhat obscure; they are chosen to match the API of the test harness that Henry Spencer wrote way-back-when for use in Tcl. With this, we can import all the test cases that Spencer wrote originally, even for regex functionality that we don't currently expose in Postgres. This seems necessary because we can no longer rely on Tcl to act as upstream and verify any fixes or improvements that we make. In addition to Spencer's tests, I added a few for lookbehind constraints (which we added in 2015, and Tcl still hasn't absorbed) that are modeled on his tests for lookahead constraints. After looking at code coverage reports, I also threw in a couple of tests to more fully exercise our "high colormap" logic. According to my testing, this brings the check-world coverage for src/backend/regex/ from 71.1% to 86.7% of lines. (coverage.postgresql.org shows a slightly different number, which I think is because it measures a non-assert build.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2873268.1609732164@sss.pgh.pa.us

test_regex is a module for testing the regular expression package.
|
|
It is mostly meant to allow us to absorb Tcl's regex test suite.
|
|
Therefore, there are provisions to exercise regex features that
|
|
aren't currently exposed at the SQL level by PostgreSQL.
|
|
|
|
Currently, one function is provided:
|
|
|
|
test_regex(pattern text, string text, flags text) returns setof text[]
|
|
|
|
Reports an error if the pattern is an invalid regex. Otherwise,
|
|
the first row of output contains the number of subexpressions,
|
|
followed by words reporting set bit(s) in the regex's re_info field.
|
|
If the pattern doesn't match the string, that's all.
|
|
If the pattern does match, the next row contains the whole match
|
|
as the first array element. If there are parenthesized subexpression(s),
|
|
following array elements contain the matches to those subexpressions.
|
|
If the "g" (glob) flag is set, then additional row(s) of output similarly
|
|
report any additional matches.
|
|
|
|
The "flags" argument is a string of zero or more single-character
|
|
flags that modify the behavior of the regex package or the test
|
|
function. As described in Tcl's reg.test file:
|
|
|
|
The flag characters are complex and a bit eclectic. Generally speaking,
|
|
lowercase letters are compile options, uppercase are expected re_info
|
|
bits, and nonalphabetics are match options, controls for how the test is
|
|
run, or testing options. The one small surprise is that AREs are the
|
|
default, and you must explicitly request lesser flavors of RE. The flags
|
|
are as follows. It is admitted that some are not very mnemonic.
|
|
|
|
- no-op (placeholder)
|
|
0 report indices not actual strings
|
|
(This substitutes for Tcl's -indices switch)
|
|
! expect partial match, report start position anyway
|
|
% force small state-set cache in matcher (to test cache replace)
|
|
^ beginning of string is not beginning of line
|
|
$ end of string is not end of line
|
|
* test is Unicode-specific, needs big character set
|
|
+ provide fake xy equivalence class and ch collating element
|
|
(Note: the equivalence class is implemented, the
|
|
collating element is not; so references to [.ch.] fail)
