Package: nim-regex-dev (0.17.0+ds-2)

library for parsing and executing regular expressions

The package provides a library for parsing, compiling, and executing regular expressions for the nim programming language. The match time is linear with respect to the length of the input and the regular expression. So, it can handle input from untrusted users. Its syntax is similar to PCRE but lacks a few features that can not be implemented while keeping the space/time complexity guarantees, i.e.: backreferences and look-around assertions.

Features:

 * The match time is linear in the length of the input string
 * Regular expressions are (optionally) compiled at compile-time
 * Captures all group repetitions (not just the last one)
 * Unicode level-1 support
 * Descriptive error messages

This package provides the regex.nim file needed to create static applications, which is the default for nim.
