regex

This project demonstrates how to use partial evaluation in conjunction with Just-In-Time compilation. The presented program takes a regular expression and generates efficient code to match this regular expression against a string.

Building

In order to build this program, you must install AnyDSL, and enable Just-In-Time compilation in the runtime. Once this is done, you can build this project by typing from the root directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DAnyDSL_runtime_DIR=<path to AnyDSL runtime config>
make -j

Usually, the path to the AnyDSL runtime config is in <AnyDSL root dir>/runtime/build/share/anydsl/cmake.

Running

To run the program from the build directory, type:

src/regex <regular expression> <string to match>
