TITLE 
Tcl::Glob - Parse and compile glob notation expressions.
DESCRIPTION
A parser for Tcl-stype glob notation.
Functions
compile_glob(PMC source, PMC adverbs :slurpy :named)- Return the result of compiling the glob expression given by
source. Normally this function is obtained usingcompreg 'Tcl::Glob'instead of calling it directly. - Returns the compiled regular expression.
If a
targetnamed parameter is supplied, then it will return the parse tree (target='parse'), the expression tree (target='exp'), or the resulting PIR code (target='PIR'). glob(PMC mob, PMC adverbs :slurpy :named)- Parses a glob expression,
returning the corresponding parse
PGE::Matchobject. glob_literal(PMC mob, PMC adverbs)- Scan a literal from a string,
stopping at any metacharacters such as
*or[. Return the matched portion, with theresult_objectset to the decoded literal. glob_quest(PMC mob, PMC adverbs)- Process a
?wildcard character in a glob. For this we just return a CCShortcut that is set to '.' glob_star(PMC mob, PMC adverbs)- Process a
*wildcard character in a glob. This is a little bit more complex, as we have to return a quantified '.'. glob_enum(PMC mob, PMC adverbs)- Parse an enumerated character list, such as [abcd], [!abcd], and [^0-9].
glob_alt(PMC mob, PMC adverbs)- Parse an enumerated character list, such as [abcd], [!abcd], and [^0-9].
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
This is basically a cut and paste of PGE::Glob. There should probably be much less code duplication here.
