  2. Comparison of regular expression engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_regular...

    Python: python.org: Python Software Foundation License: Python has two major implementations, the built in re and the regex library. Ruby: ruby-doc.org: GNU Library General Public License: Ruby 1.8, Ruby 1.9, and Ruby 2.0 and later versions use different engines; Ruby 1.9 integrates Oniguruma, Ruby 2.0 and later integrate Onigmo, a fork from ...

  3. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    Lazy evaluation can also lead to reduction in memory footprint, since values are created when needed. [19] In practice, lazy evaluation may cause significant performance issues compared to eager evaluation. For example, on modern computer architectures, delaying a computation and performing it later is slower than performing it immediately.

  4. Comparison of parser generators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_parser...

    Regular languages are a category of languages (sometimes termed Chomsky Type 3) which can be matched by a state machine (more specifically, by a deterministic finite automaton or a nondeterministic finite automaton) constructed from a regular expression.

  5. Evaluation strategy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_strategy

    In a programming language, an evaluation strategy is a set of rules for evaluating expressions. [1] The term is often used to refer to the more specific notion of a parameter-passing strategy [2] that defines the kind of value that is passed to the function for each parameter (the binding strategy) [3] and whether to evaluate the parameters of a function call, and if so in what order (the ...

  6. RE/flex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re/flex

    RE/flex (regex-centric, fast lexical analyzer) [1] [2] is a free and open source computer program written in C++ that generates fast lexical analyzers (also known as "scanners" or "lexers") [3] [4] in C++. RE/flex offers full Unicode support, indentation anchors, word boundaries, lazy quantifiers (non-greedy, lazy repeats), and performance ...

  7. Tree-sitter (parser generator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree-sitter_(parser_generator)

    Tree-sitter parsers have been written for these languages and many others. [11] GitHub uses Tree-sitter to support in-browser symbolic code navigation in Git repositories. [12] Tree-sitter uses a GLR parser, a type of LR parser. [13] [14] [12] Tree-sitter was originally developed by GitHub for use in the Atom text editor, where it was first ...

  8. Lexical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis

    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog the string is not implicitly segmented on spaces, as a natural language speaker would do. The raw input, the 43 characters, must be explicitly split into the 9 tokens with a given space delimiter (i.e., matching the string " " or regular expression /\s{1}/ ).

  9. Strict programming language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strict_programming_language

    Strict programming languages are often associated with eager evaluation, and non-strict languages with lazy evaluation, but other evaluation strategies are possible in each case. [ citation needed ] The terms "eager programming language" and "lazy programming language" are often used as synonyms for "strict programming language" and "non-strict ...
