Oniguruma
=========

https://github.com/kkos/oniguruma

Oniguruma is a modern and flexible regular expressions library. It
encompasses features from different regular expression implementations
that traditionally exist in different languages. It comes close to
being a complete superset of all regular expression features found
in other regular expression implementations.

Its features include:
* Character encoding can be specified per regular expression object.
* Several regular expression types are supported:
  * Oniguruma (native)
  * POSIX
  * Grep
  * GNU Regex
  * Perl
  * Java
  * Ruby
  * Emacs

Supported character encodings:

  ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE,
  EUC-JP, EUC-TW, EUC-KR, EUC-CN,
  Shift_JIS, Big5, GB18030, KOI8-R, CP1251,
  ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4, ISO-8859-5,
  ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9, ISO-8859-10,
  ISO-8859-11, ISO-8859-13, ISO-8859-14, ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-16

* GB18030: contributed by KUBO Takehiro
* CP1251:  contributed by Byte

Install
-------

### Case 1: Unix and Cygwin platform

   1. autoreconf -vfi   (* case: configure script is not found.)

   2. ./configure
   3. make
   4. make install

   * uninstall

     make uninstall

   * configuration check

     onig-config --cflags
     onig-config --libs
     onig-config --prefix
     onig-config --exec-prefix



### Case 2: Windows 64/32bit platform (Visual Studio)

   execute make_win64 or make_win32

      onig_s.lib:  static link library
      onig.dll:    dynamic link library

   * test (ASCII/Shift_JIS)

      1. cd src
      2. copy ..\windows\testc.c .
      3. nmake -f Makefile.windows ctest

   (I have checked by Visual Studio Community 2015)



Regular Expressions
-------------------

  See [doc/RE](doc/RE) or [doc/RE.ja](doc/RE.ja) for Japanese.


Usage
-----

  Include oniguruma.h in your program. (Oniguruma API)
  See doc/API for Oniguruma API.

  If you want to disable UChar type (== unsigned char) definition
  in oniguruma.h, define ONIG_ESCAPE_UCHAR_COLLISION and then 
  include oniguruma.h.

  If you want to disable regex_t type definition in oniguruma.h,
  define ONIG_ESCAPE_REGEX_T_COLLISION and then include oniguruma.h.

  Example of the compiling/linking command line in Unix or Cygwin,
  (prefix == /usr/local case)

    cc sample.c -L/usr/local/lib -lonig


  If you want to use static link library(onig_s.lib) in Win32,
  add option -DONIG_EXTERN=extern to C compiler.
