/**
 * SECTION:gregex
 * @title: Perl-compatible regular expressions
 * @short_description: matches strings against regular expressions
 * @see_also: <xref linkend="glib-regex-syntax"/>
 *
 * The <function>g_regex_*()</function> functions implement regular
 * expression pattern matching using syntax and semantics similar to
 * Perl regular expression.
 *
 * Some functions accept a @start_position argument, setting it differs
 * from just passing over a shortened string and setting #G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL
 * in the case of a pattern that begins with any kind of lookbehind assertion.
 * For example, consider the pattern "\Biss\B" which finds occurrences of "iss"
 * in the middle of words. ("\B" matches only if the current position in the
 * subject is not a word boundary.) When applied to the string "Mississipi"
 * from the fourth byte, namely "issipi", it does not match, because "\B" is
 * always false at the start of the subject, which is deemed to be a word
 * boundary. However, if the entire string is passed , but with
 * @start_position set to 4, it finds the second occurrence of "iss" because
 * it is able to look behind the starting point to discover that it is
 * preceded by a letter.
 *
 * Note that, unless you set the #G_REGEX_RAW flag, all the strings passed
 * to these functions must be encoded in UTF-8. The lengths and the positions
 * inside the strings are in bytes and not in characters, so, for instance,
 * "\xc3\xa0" (i.e. "&agrave;") is two bytes long but it is treated as a
 * single character. If you set #G_REGEX_RAW the strings can be non-valid
 * UTF-8 strings and a byte is treated as a character, so "\xc3\xa0" is two
 * bytes and two characters long.
 *
 * When matching a pattern, "\n" matches only against a "\n" character in
 * the string, and "\r" matches only a "\r" character. To match any newline
 * sequence use "\R". This particular group matches either the two-character
 * sequence CR + LF ("\r\n"), or one of the single characters LF (linefeed,
 * U+000A, "\n"), VT vertical tab, U+000B, "\v"), FF (formfeed, U+000C, "\f"),
 * CR (carriage return, U+000D, "\r"), NEL (next line, U+0085), LS (line
 * separator, U+2028), or PS (paragraph separator, U+2029).
 *
 * The behaviour of the dot, circumflex, and dollar metacharacters are
 * affected by newline characters, the default is to recognize any newline
 * character (the same characters recognized by "\R"). This can be changed
 * with #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_CR, #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_LF and #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_CRLF
 * compile options, and with #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_ANY,
 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_CR, #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_LF and
 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_CRLF match options. These settings are also
 * relevant when compiling a pattern if #G_REGEX_EXTENDED is set, and an
 * unescaped "#" outside a character class is encountered. This indicates
 * a comment that lasts until after the next newline.
 *
 * Creating and manipulating the same #GRegex structure from different
 * threads is not a problem as #GRegex does not modify its internal
 * state between creation and destruction, on the other hand #GMatchInfo
 * is not threadsafe.
 *
 * The regular expressions low-level functionalities are obtained through
 * the excellent <ulink url="http://www.pcre.org/">PCRE</ulink> library
 * written by Philip Hazel.

 * returned. There are circumstances where it might be helpful to
 * distinguish this case from other cases in which there is no match.
 *
 * Consider, for example, an application where a human is required to
 * type in data for a field with specific formatting requirements. An
 * example might be a date in the form ddmmmyy, defined by the pattern
 * "^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$".
 * If the application sees the user’s keystrokes one by one, and can
 * check that what has been typed so far is potentially valid, it is
 * able to raise an error as soon as a mistake is made.
 *
 * GRegex supports the concept of partial matching by means of the
 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL flag. When this is set the return code for
 * g_regex_match() or g_regex_match_full() is, as usual, %TRUE
 * for a complete match, %FALSE otherwise. But, when these functions
 * return %FALSE, you can check if the match was partial calling
 * g_match_info_is_partial_match().
 *
 * When using partial matching you cannot use g_match_info_fetch*().
 *
 * Because of the way certain internal optimizations are implemented
 * the partial matching algorithm cannot be used with all patterns.
 * So repeated single characters such as "a{2,4}" and repeated single
 * meta-sequences such as "\d+" are not permitted if the maximum number
 * of occurrences is greater than one. Optional items such as "\d?"
 * (where the maximum is one) are permitted. Quantifiers with any values
 * are permitted after parentheses, so the invalid examples above can be
 * coded thus "(a){2,4}" and "(\d)+". If #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL is set
 * for a pattern that does not conform to the restrictions, matching
 * functions return an error.

/**
 * g_regex_match_all_full:
 * @regex: a #GRegex structure from g_regex_new()
 * @string: (array length=string_len): the string to scan for matches
 * @string_len: the length of @string, or -1 if @string is nul-terminated
 * @start_position: starting index of the string to match
 * @match_options: match options
 * @match_info: (out) (allow-none): pointer to location where to store
 *     the #GMatchInfo, or %NULL if you do not need it
 * @error: location to store the error occuring, or %NULL to ignore errors
 *
 * Using the standard algorithm for regular expression matching only
 * the longest match in the string is retrieved, it is not possibile
 * to obtain all the available matches. For instance matching
 * "&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;c&gt;" against the pattern "&lt;.*&gt;"
 * you get "&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;c&gt;".
 *
 * This function uses a different algorithm (called DFA, i.e. deterministic
 * finite automaton), so it can retrieve all the possible matches, all
 * starting at the same point in the string. For instance matching
 * "&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;c&gt;" against the pattern "&lt;.*&gt;"
 * you would obtain three matches: "&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;c&gt;",
 * "&lt;a&gt; &lt;b&gt;" and "&lt;a&gt;".
 *
 * The number of matched strings is retrieved using
 * g_match_info_get_match_count(). To obtain the matched strings and
 * their position you can use, respectively, g_match_info_fetch() and
 * g_match_info_fetch_pos(). Note that the strings are returned in
 * reverse order of length; that is, the longest matching string is
 * given first.
 *
 * Note that the DFA algorithm is slower than the standard one and it
 * is not able to capture substrings, so backreferences do not work.
 *
 * Setting @start_position differs from just passing over a shortened
 * string and setting #G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL in the case of a pattern
 * that begins with any kind of lookbehind assertion, such as "\b".
 *
 * A #GMatchInfo structure, used to get information on the match, is
 * stored in @match_info if not %NULL. Note that if @match_info is
 * not %NULL then it is created even if the function returns %FALSE,
 * i.e. you must free it regardless if regular expression actually
 * matched.
 *

 * you use any #GMatchInfo method (except g_match_info_free()) after
