The high-level intermediate representation for a look-around assertion.

An assertion match is always zero-length. Also called an “empty match.”

Variants

Start

Match the beginning of text. Specifically, this matches at the starting position of the input.

End

Match the end of text. Specifically, this matches at the ending position of the input.

StartLF

Match the beginning of a line or the beginning of text. Specifically, this matches at the starting position of the input, or at the position immediately following a \n character.

EndLF

Match the end of a line or the end of text. Specifically, this matches at the end position of the input, or at the position immediately preceding a \n character.

StartCRLF

Match the beginning of a line or the beginning of text. Specifically, this matches at the starting position of the input, or at the position immediately following either a \r or \n character, but never after a \r when a \n follows.

EndCRLF

Match the end of a line or the end of text. Specifically, this matches at the end position of the input, or at the position immediately preceding a \r or \n character, but never before a \n when a \r precedes it.

WordAscii

Match an ASCII-only word boundary. That is, this matches a position where the left adjacent character and right adjacent character correspond to a word and non-word or a non-word and word character.

WordAsciiNegate

Match an ASCII-only negation of a word boundary.

WordUnicode

Match a Unicode-aware word boundary. That is, this matches a position where the left adjacent character and right adjacent character correspond to a word and non-word or a non-word and word character.

WordUnicodeNegate

Match a Unicode-aware negation of a word boundary.

Implementations

impl Look

pub const fn reversed(self) -> Look

Flip the look-around assertion to its equivalent for reverse searches. For example, StartLF gets translated to EndLF.

Some assertions, such as WordUnicode, remain the same since they match the same positions regardless of the direction of the search.

pub const fn as_repr(self) -> u16

Return the underlying representation of this look-around enumeration as an integer. Giving the return value to the Look::from_repr constructor is guaranteed to return the same look-around variant that one started with within a semver compatible release of this crate.

pub const fn from_repr(repr: u16) -> Option<Look>

Given the underlying representation of a Look value, return the corresponding Look value if the representation is valid. Otherwise None is returned.

pub const fn as_char(self) -> char

Returns a convenient single codepoint representation of this look-around assertion. Each assertion is guaranteed to be represented by a distinct character.

This is useful for succinctly representing a look-around assertion in human friendly but succinct output intended for a programmer working on regex internals.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Look

fn clone(&self) -> Look

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Look

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq<Look> for Look

fn eq(&self, other: &Look) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
