The Regexp::Property class is used to tell the Regexp class how a given regular
expression should be interpreted, and how the case should be handled. The class itself
defines syntax and case enumerates, and stores a syntax-case pair. There are basic,
extended, and shell regular expressions, and a regular expression can be case sensitive or
case insensitive. The shell syntax was added to allow shell wildcard pattern like
expressions. The later are not defined as regular expressions in the POSIX standard, but
in LYRIC they are treated as regular expressions. They look like regular expressions; it’s
only the interpretation of the syntax that is different. The Regexp::Property class
allows you to choose your favourite syntax, and to tell whether case must be
differentiated or ignored.

Description
-
˜Regexp::Property () -
Destroys this regular expression property, releasing all used memroy resources.
-
Regexp::Property () -
Constructs this regular expression with the default syntax set to Extended,
and the default case to Differentiate.
-
Regexp::Property (Syntax syntax, Case vcase) -
Constructs this regular expression with the given syntax and vcase properties.
-
Regexp::Property (const Regexp::Property& property) -
Constructs this regular expression property from the given property. All values
stored in property are copied into this regular expression property.
-
Regexp::Property& operator = (const Regexp::Property& property) -
Assigns the given property to this regular expression property. A reference to
this is returned for assignment chaining. All values stored in the given property
