2025-05-29slre: implement support for ranges in character classesRasmus Villemoes
When trying to use U-Boot's regex facility, it is a rather large gotcha that [a-z] range syntax is not supported. It doesn't require a lot of extra code to implement that; we just let the regular parsing emit the start and end literal symbols as usual, and add a new "escape" code RANGE. At match time, this means the code will first just see an 'a' and try to match that, and only then recognize that it's actually part of a range and then do the 'a' <= ch <= 'z' test. Of course, this means that a - in the middle of a [] pair no longer matches a literal dash, but I highly doubt anybody relies on that. Putting it first or last, or escaping it with \, as in most other RE engines, continues to work. Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <[email protected]>
2025-05-29slre: fix matching of escape sequence used inside character classRasmus Villemoes
At the compile stage, the anyof() function clearly intends to handle escape sequences like \d (for digits) inside square brackets, since the logic emits a 0 byte followed by the code representing the character class (NONSPACE, SPACE or DIGIT). However, this is not handled in the corresponding match helper is_any_of(); it just naively loops over all the bytes in the ->data array emitted by anyof() and compares those directly to the current character. For example, this means that the string "\x11" (containing the single character with value 17) is matched by the regex "[#%\d]", because DIGIT happens to be 17. Fix that by recognizing a zero byte as indicating something special and act accordingly. In order not to repeat the "increment *ofs and return 1" in all places, put those two lines after a new match: label.

2025-05-29slre: refactor is_any_but()Rasmus Villemoes
As preparation for fixing the handling of backslash-escapes used inside a character class, refactor is_any_but() to be defined in terms of is_any_of() so we don't have to repeat the same logic in two places.

2025-05-29slre: drop wrong "anchored" optimizationRasmus Villemoes
The regex '^a|b' means "does the string start with a, or does it have a b anywhere", not "does the string start with a or b" (the latter should be spelled '^[ab]' or '^(a|b)'). It should match exactly the same strings as 'b|^a'. But the current implementation hard-codes an assumption that when the regex starts with a ^, the whole regex must match from the beginning, i.e. it only attempts at offset 0. It really should be completely symmetrical to 'b|c$' ("does it have a b anywhere or end with c?"), which is treated correctly. Another quirk is that currently the regex 'x*$', which should match all strings (because it just means "does the string end with 0 or more x'es"), does not, because in the unanchored case we never attempt to match at ofs==len. In the anchored case, '^x*$', this works correctly and matches exactly strings (including the empty string) consisting entirely of x'es. Fix both of these issues by dropping all use of the slre->anchored member and always test at all possible offsets. If the regex does have a ^ somewhere (including after a | branch character), that is correctly handled by the match engine by only matching when *ofs is 0.

After some header file cleanups to add missing include files, remove common.h from all files in the lib directory. This primarily means just dropping the line but in a few cases we need to add in other header files now. Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <[email protected]>

2013-05-01Add SLRE - Super Light Regular Expression libraryWolfgang Denk
Downloaded from http://slre.sourceforge.net/ and adapted for U-Boot environment. Used to implement regex operations on environment variables. Code size is ~ 3.5 KiB on PPC. To enable this code, define the CONFIG_REGEX option in your board config file. Note: There are more recent versions of the SLRE library available at http://slre.googlecode.com ; unfortunately, the new code has a heavily reorked API which makes it less usable for our purposes: - the return code is strings, which are more difficult to process - we don't get any information any more which sub-string of the data was matched by the given regex - it is much more cumbersome to work with arbitrary expressions, where for example the number of substrings for capturing are not known at compile time Also, there does not seem to be any real changes or improvements of the functionality. Because of this, we deliberately stick with the older code. Note 2: the test code (built when SLRE_TEST is defined) was modified to allow for more extensive testing; now we can test the regexp matching on all lines on a text file (instead of the whole data in the file as a single block).
