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 using compreg 'Tcl::Glob' instead of calling it directly.Returns the compiled regular expression. If a target named 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::Match object.
glob_literal(PMC mob, PMC adverbs)
Scan a literal from a string, stopping at any metacharacters such as * or [. Return the matched portion, with the result_object set 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].
register(string name, pmc compsub)
Registers this compiler object as name and using compsub as the subroutine to call for performing compilation.
compile(pmc code [, "option" => value, ... ])
Compile source (possibly modified by any provided options).

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS ^

This is basically a cut and paste of PGE::Glob. There should probably be much less code duplication here.
