26;;; Commentary:
27
28;; The "opt" in "regexp-opt" stands for "optim\\(al\\|i\\(se\\|ze\\)\\)".
29;;
30;; This package generates a regexp from a given list of strings (that matches
31;; one of those strings) that is equivalent to but more efficient than:
32;;
33;; (mapconcat 'identity (mapcar 'regexp-quote strings) "\\|")
34;;
35;; For example:
36;;
37;; (let ((strings '("cond" "if" "when" "unless" "while"
38;; "let" "let*" "progn" "prog1" "prog2"
39;; "save-restriction" "save-excursion" "save-window-excursion"
40;; "save-current-buffer" "save-match-data"
41;; "catch" "throw" "unwind-protect" "condition-case")))
42;; (concat "(" (regexp-opt strings t) "\\>"))
43;; => "(\\(c\\(atch\\|ond\\(ition-case\\)?\\)\\|if\\|let\\*?\\|prog[12n]\\|save-\\(current-buffer\\|excursion\\|match-data\\|restriction\\|window-excursion\\)\\|throw\\|un\\(less\\|wind-protect\\)\\|wh\\(en\\|ile\\)\\)\\>"
44;;
45;; Searching using the above example `regexp-opt' regexp is significantly
46;; faster than searching using the equivalent `mapconcat' regexp, taking
47;; approximately two-thirds of the time.
48;;
49;; Since this package was written to produce efficient regexps, not regexps
50;; efficiently, it is probably not a good idea to in-line too many calls in
51;; your code, unless you use the following trick with `eval-when-compile':
52;;
53;; (defvar definition-regexp
54;; (eval-when-compile
55;; (concat "^("
56;; (regexp-opt '("defun" "defsubst" "defmacro" "defalias"
57;; "defvar" "defconst") t)
58;; "\\>")))
59;;
60;; The `byte-compile' code will be as if you had defined the variable thus:
61;;
62;; (defvar definition-regexp
63;; "^(\\(def\\(alias\\|const\\|macro\\|subst\\|un\\|var\\)\\)\\>")
64;;
65;; Originally written for font-lock.el, from an idea from Stig's hl319.el.
66;; Please don't tell me that it doesn't produce optimal regexps; I know that
67;; already. For example, the above explanation for the meaning of "opt" would
68;; be more efficient as "optim\\(al\\|i[sz]e\\)", but this requires complex
69;; forward looking. But (ideas or) code to improve things (are) is welcome.

71;;; Code:
72

74(defun regexp-opt (strings &optional paren)
75 "Return a regexp to match a string in STRINGS.
76If optional PAREN non-nil, ensure that the returned regexp is enclosed by at
77least one regexp grouping construct.
78Each string in STRINGS should be unique and should not contain any regexps.
79The returned regexp is typically more efficient than the equivalent regexp:
80
81 (mapconcat 'identity (mapcar 'regexp-quote STRINGS) \"\\\\|\")
82
83but typically contains regexp grouping constructs. Use `regexp-opt-depth' to
84count them."
