Introduction

The CRE2 distribution is a C language wrapper for the RE2 library, which is implemented in C++. RE2 is a fast, safe, thread-friendly alternative to backtracking regular expression engines like those used in PCRE, Perl, and Python.

This distribution makes use of the GNU Autotools; it relies on pkg-config to find the installed re2 library The last time the maintainer updated this paragraph, he had tested this package with a checkout of re2 on Apr 11, 2017.

Install

To install from a proper release tarball, do this:

$ cd cre2-0.1.0
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure
$ make
$ make check
$ make install

to inspect the available configuration options:

$ ../configure --help

The Makefile is designed to allow parallel builds, so we can do:

$ make -j4 all && make -j4 check

which, on a 4-core CPU, should speed up building and checking significantly.

The Makefile supports the DESTDIR environment variable to install files in a temporary location, example: to see what will happen:

$ make -n install DESTDIR=/tmp/cre2

to really do it:

$ make install DESTDIR=/tmp/cre2

After the installation it is possible to verify the installed library against the test suite with:

$ make installcheck

From a repository checkout or snapshot (the ones from the Github site): we must install the GNU Autotools (GNU Automake, GNU Autoconf, GNU Libtool), then we must first run the script "autogen.sh" from the top source directory, to generate the needed files:

$ cd cre2
$ sh autogen.sh

notice that autogen.sh will run the programs autoreconf and libtoolize; the latter is selected through the environment variable LIBTOOLIZE, whose value can be customised; for example to run glibtoolize rather than libtoolize we do:

$ LIBTOOLIZE=glibtoolize sh autogen.sh

After this the procedure is the same as the one for building from a proper release tarball, but we have to enable maintainer mode:

$ ../configure --enable-maintainer-mode [options]
$ make
$ make check
$ make install

Usage

Read the documentation.

Badges and static analysis

Travis CI

Travis CI is a hosted, distributed continuous integration service used to build and test software projects hosted at GitHub. We can find this project's dashboard at:

https://travis-ci.org/marcomaggi/cre2

Usage of this service is configured through the file .travis.yml and the scripts under the directory meta/travis-ci.

Clang's Static Analyzer

The Clang Static Analyzer is a source code analysis tool that finds bugs in C, C++, and Objective-C programs. It is distributed along with Clang and we can find it at:

http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/

Usage of this service is implemented with make rules; see the relevant section in the file Makefile.am.

Codecov

Codecov is a service providing code coverage reports. We can find this project's dashboard at:

https://codecov.io/gh/marcomaggi/cre2

Usage of this service is implemented through direct interface between GitHub and Codecov sites; it configured through the file codecov.yml and appropriate entries in Travis CI's matrix of builds.

Codacy

Codacy is an online service providing code review. We can find this project's dashboard at:

https://www.codacy.com/app/marcomaggi/cre2

Usage of this service is implemented through direct integration between GitHub and Codacy sites.
