Constructing regular expressions

Description

A collection of regular-expression related utilities. The recommended workflow is to import this module qualified as the names of the functions are specificly chosen to be common identifiers. Also, it is recommended you use the OverloadedStrings extension to allow literal strings to be used as symbolic-strings and regular-expressions when working with this module.

Synopsis

Regular expressions

data RegExp Source #

Regular expressions. Note that regular expressions themselves are concrete, but the match function from the RegExpMatchable class can check membership against a symbolic string/character. Also, we are preferring a datatype approach here, as opposed to coming up with some string-representation; there are way too many alternatives already so inventing one isn't a priority. Please get in touch if you would like a parser for this type as it might be easier to use.

Constructors

Literal String	Precisely match the given string
All	Accept every string
None	Accept no strings
Range Char Char	Accept range of characters
Conc [RegExp]	Concatenation
KStar RegExp	Kleene Star: Zero or more
KPlus RegExp	Kleene Plus: One or more
Opt RegExp	Zero or one
Loop Int Int RegExp	From `n` repetitions to `m` repetitions
Union [RegExp]	Union of regular expressions
Inter RegExp RegExp	Intersection of regular expressions

Instances

Eq RegExp Source #
Methods (==) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> Bool # (/=) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> Bool #
Num RegExp Source #	Regular expressions as a `Num` instance. Note that only `+` (union) and `*` (concatenation) make sense.
Methods (+) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> RegExp # (-) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> RegExp # (*) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> RegExp # negate :: RegExp -> RegExp # abs :: RegExp -> RegExp # signum :: RegExp -> RegExp # fromInteger :: Integer -> RegExp #
Ord RegExp Source #
Methods compare :: RegExp -> RegExp -> Ordering # (<) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> Bool # (<=) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> Bool # (>) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> Bool # (>=) :: RegExp -> RegExp -> Bool # max :: RegExp -> RegExp -> RegExp # min :: RegExp -> RegExp -> RegExp #
Show RegExp Source #	Show instance for `RegExp`. The mapping is done so the outcome matches the SMTLib string reg-exp operations
Methods showsPrec :: Int -> RegExp -> ShowS # show :: RegExp -> String # showList :: [RegExp] -> ShowS #
IsString RegExp Source #	With overloaded strings, we can have direct literal regular expressions.
Methods fromString :: String -> RegExp #

Matching

A symbolic string or a character (SString or SChar) can be matched against a regular-expression. Note that the regular-expression itself is not a symbolic object: It's a fully concrete representation, as captured by the RegExp class. The RegExp class is an instance of IsString, which makes writing literal matches easier. The RegExp type also has a (somewhat degenerate) Num instance: Concatenation corresponds to multiplication, union corresponds to addition, and 0 corresponds to the empty language.

Note that since match is a method of RegExpMatchable class, both SChar and SString can be used as an argument for matching. In practice, this means you might have to disambiguate with a type-ascription if it is not deducible from context.

>>> prove $ \s -> (s :: SString) `match` "hello" <=> s .== "hello"
Q.E.D.
>>> prove $ \s -> s `match` Loop 2 5 "xyz" ==> length s .>= 6
Q.E.D.
>>> prove $ \s -> s `match` Loop 2 5 "xyz" ==> length s .<= 15
Q.E.D.
>>> prove $ \s -> match s (Loop 2 5 "xyz") ==> length s .>= 7
Falsifiable. Counter-example:
  s0 = "xyzxyz" :: String
>>> prove $ \s -> (s :: SString) `match` "hello" ==> s `match` ("hello" + "world")
Q.E.D.
>>> prove $ \s -> bnot $ (s::SString) `match` ("so close" * 0)
Q.E.D.
>>> prove $ \c -> (c :: SChar) `match` oneOf "abcd" ==> ord c .>= ord (literal 'a') &&& ord c .<= ord (literal 'd')
Q.E.D.

class RegExpMatchable a where Source #

Matchable class. Things we can match against a RegExp. (TODO: Currently SBV does *not* optimize this call if the input is a concrete string or a character, but rather directly calls down to the solver. We might want to perform the operation on the Haskell side for performance reasons, should this become important.)

For instance, you can generate valid-looking phone numbers like this:

>>> :set -XOverloadedStrings
>>> let dig09 = Range '0' '9'
>>> let dig19 = Range '1' '9'
>>> let pre   = dig19 * Loop 2 2 dig09
>>> let post  = dig19 * Loop 3 3 dig09
>>> let phone = pre * "-" * post
>>> sat $ \s -> (s :: SString) `match` phone
Satisfiable. Model:
  s0 = "222-2248" :: String

match

Methods

match :: a -> RegExp -> SBool Source #

match s r checks whether s is in the language generated by r.

Instances

RegExpMatchable SString Source #	Matching symbolic strings.
Methods match :: SString -> RegExp -> SBool Source #
RegExpMatchable SChar Source #	Matching a character simply means the singleton string matches the regex.
Methods match :: SChar -> RegExp -> SBool Source #

Constructing regular expressions

Literals

exactly :: String -> RegExp Source #

A literal regular-expression, matching the given string exactly. Note that with OverloadedStrings extension, you can simply use a Haskell string to mean the same thing, so this function is rarely needed.

Q.E.D.

A class of characters

oneOf :: String -> RegExp Source #
