    \class QRegularExpression
    \reentrant

    \brief The QRegularExpression class provides pattern matching using regular
    expressions.

    \since 5.0

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared

    \keyword regular expression

    Regular expressions, or \e{regexps}, are a very powerful tool to handle
    strings and texts. This is useful in many contexts, e.g.,

    \table
    \row \i Validation
         \i A regexp can test whether a substring meets some criteria,
         e.g. is an integer or contains no whitespace.
    \row \i Searching
         \i A regexp provides more powerful pattern matching than
         simple substring matching, e.g., match one of the words
         \e{mail}, \e{letter} or \e{correspondence}, but none of the
         words \e{email}, \e{mailman}, \e{mailer}, \e{letterbox}, etc.
     \row \i Search and Replace
         \i A regexp can replace all occurrences of a substring with a
         different substring, e.g., replace all occurrences of \e{&}
         with \e{\&amp;} except where the \e{&} is already followed by
         an \e{amp;}.
    \row \i String Splitting
         \i A regexp can be used to identify where a string should be
         split apart, e.g. splitting tab-delimited strings.
    \endtable

    This document is by no means a complete reference to pattern matching using
    regular expressions, and the following parts will require the reader to
    have some basic knowledge about Perl-like regular expressions and their
    pattern syntax.

    \section1 Introduction

    QRegularExpression implements Perl-compatible regular expressions. It fully
    supports Unicode. For an overview of the regular expression syntax
    supported by QRegularExpression, please refer to the aforementioned
    pcrepattern(3) man page. A regular expression is made up of two things: a
    \bold{pattern string} and a set of \bold{pattern options} that change the
    meaning of the pattern string.

    You can set the pattern string by passing a string to the QRegularExpression
    constructor:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 0

    This sets the pattern string to \c{a pattern}. You can also use the
    setPattern() function to set a pattern on an existing QRegularExpression
    object:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 1

    Note that due to C++ literal strings rules, you must escape all backslashes
    inside the pattern string with another backslash:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 2

    The pattern() function returns the pattern that it's currently set for a
    QRegularExpression object:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 3

    \section1 Pattern options

    The meaning of the pattern string can be modified by setting one or more
    \e{pattern options}. For instance, it is possible to set a pattern to match
    case insensitively by setting the QRegularExpression::CaseInsensitiveOption.

    You can set the options by passing them to the QRegularExpression
    constructor, as in:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 4

    Alternatively, you can use the setPatternOptions() function on an existing
    QRegularExpressionObject:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 5

    It is possible to get the pattern options currently set on a
    QRegularExpression object by using the patternOptions() function:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 6

    Please refer to the QRegularExpression::PatternOption enum documentation for
    more information about each pattern option.

    \section1 Match type and match options

    The last two arguments of the match() and the globalMatch() functions set
    the match type and the match options. The match type is a value of the
    QRegularExpression::MatchType enum; the "traditional" matching algorithm is
    chosen by using the NormalMatch match type (the default). It is also
    possible to enable partial matching of the regular expression against a
    subject string: see the \l{partial matching} section for more details.

    The match options are a set of one or more QRegularExpression::MatchOption
    values. They change the way a specific match of a regular expression
    against a subject string is done. Please refer to the
    QRegularExpression::MatchOption enum documentation for more details.

    \target normal matching
    \section1 Normal matching

    In order to perform a match you can simply invoke the match() function
    passing a string to match against. We refer to this string as the
    \e{subject string}. The result of the match() function is a
    QRegularExpressionMatch object that can be used to inspect the results of
    the match. For instance:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 7

    If a match is successful, the (implicit) capturing group number 0 can be
    used to retrieve the substring matched by the entire pattern (see also the
    section about \l{extracting captured substrings}):

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 8

    It's also possible to start a match at an arbitrary offset inside the
    subject string by passing the offset as an argument of the
    match() function. In the following example \c{"12 abc"}
    is not matched because the match is started at offset 1:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 9

    \target extracting captured substrings
    \section2 Extracting captured substrings

    The QRegularExpressionMatch object contains also information about the
    substrings captured by the capturing groups in the pattern string. The
    \l{QRegularExpressionMatch::}{captured()} function will return the string
    captured by the n-th capturing group:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 10

    Capturing groups in the pattern are numbered starting from 1, and the
    implicit capturing group 0 is used to capture the substring that matched
    the entire pattern.

    It's also possible to retrieve the starting and the ending offsets (inside
    the subject string) of each captured substring, by using the
    \l{QRegularExpressionMatch::}{capturedStart()} and the
    \l{QRegularExpressionMatch::}{capturedEnd()} functions:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 11

    All of these functions have an overload taking a QString as a parameter
    in order to extract \e{named} captured substrings. For instance:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 12

    \target global matching
    \section1 Global matching

    \e{Global matching} is useful to find all the occurrences of a given
    regular expression inside a subject string. Suppose that we want to extract
    all the words from a given string, where a word is a substring matching
    the pattern \c{\w+}.

    QRegularExpression::globalMatch returns a QRegularExpressionMatchIterator,
    which is a Java-like forward iterator that can be used to iterate over the
    results. For instance:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 13

    Since it's a Java-like iterator, the QRegularExpressionMatchIterator will
    point immediately before the first result. Every result is returned as a
    QRegularExpressionMatch object. The
    \l{QRegularExpressionMatchIterator::}{hasNext()} function will return true
    if there's at least one more result, and
    \l{QRegularExpressionMatchIterator::}{next()} will return the next result
    and advance the iterator. Continuing from the previous example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 14

    You can also use \l{QRegularExpressionMatchIterator::}{peekNext()} to get
    the next result without advancing the iterator.

    It is possible to pass a starting offset and one or more match options to
    the globalMatch() function, exactly like normal matching with match().

    \target partial matching
    \section1 Partial matching

    A \e{partial match} is obtained when the end of the subject string is
    reached, but more characters are needed to successfully complete the match.
    Note that a partial match is usually much more inefficient than a normal
    match because many optimizations of the matching algorithm cannot be
    employed.

    A partial match must be explicitly requested by specifying a match type of
    PartialPreferCompleteMatch or PartialPreferFirstMatch when calling
    QRegularExpression::match or QRegularExpression::globalMatch. If a partial
    match is found, then calling the \l{QRegularExpressionMatch::}{hasMatch()}
    function on the QRegularExpressionMatch object returned by match() will
    return \c{false}, but \l{QRegularExpressionMatch::}{hasPartialMatch()} will return
    \c{true}.

    When a partial match is found, no captured substrings are returned, and the
    (implicit) capturing group 0 corresponding to the whole match captures the
    partially matched substring of the subject string.

    Note that asking for a partial match can still lead to a complete match, if
    one is found; in this case, \l{QRegularExpressionMatch::}{hasMatch()} will
    return \c{true} and \l{QRegularExpressionMatch::}{hasPartialMatch()}
    \c{false}. It never happens that a QRegularExpressionMatch reports both a
    partial and a complete match.

    Partial matching is mainly useful in two scenarios: validating user input
    in real time and incremental/multi-segment matching.

    \target
    \section2 Validating user input

    Suppose that we would like the user to input a date in a specific
    format, for instance "MMM dd, yyyy". We can check the input validity with
    a pattern like:

    \c{^(Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec) \d\d?, \d\d\d\d$}

    (This pattern doesn't catch invalid days, but let's keep it for the
    example's purposes).

    We would like to validate the input with this regular expression \e{while}
    the user is typing it, so that we can report an error in the input as soon
    as it is committed (for instance, the user typed the wrong key). In order
    to do so we must distinguish three cases:

    \list
    \o the input cannot possibly match the regular expression;
    \o the input does match the regular expression;
    \o the input does not match the regular expression right now,
    but it will if more charaters will be added to it.
    \endlist

    Note that these three cases represent exactly the possible states of a
    QValidator (see the QValidator::State enum).

    In particular, in the last case we want the regular expression engine to
    report a partial match: we are successfully matching the pattern against
    the subject string but the matching cannot continue because the end of the
    subject is encountered. Notice, however, that the matching algorithm should
    continue and try all possibilities, and in case a complete (non-partial)
    match is found, then this one should be reported, and the input string
    accepted as fully valid.

    This behaviour is implemented by the PartialPreferCompleteMatch match type.
    For instance:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 15

    If matching the same regular expression against the subject string leads to
    a complete match, it is reported as usual:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 16

    Another example with a different pattern, showing the behaviour of
    preferring a complete match over a partial one:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 17

    In this case, the subpattern \c{abc\\w+X} partially matches the subject
    string; however, the subpattern \c{def} matches the subject string
    completely, and therefore a complete match is reported.

    In case multiple partial matches are found when matching (but no complete
    match), then the QRegularExpressionMatch will report the first one that it
    is found. For instance:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 18

    \section2 Incremental/multi-segment matching

    Incremental matching is another use case of partial matching. Suppose that
    we want to find the occurrences of a regular expression inside a large text
    (that is, substrings matching the regular expression). In order to do so we
    would like to "feed" the large text to the regular expression engines in
    smaller chunks. The obvious problem is what happens if the substring that
    matches the regular expression spans across two or more chunks.

    In this case, the regular expression engine should report a partial match,
    so that we can match again adding new data and (eventually) get a complete
    match. This implies that the regular expression engine may assume that
    there are other characters \e{beyond the end} of the subject string. This
    is not to be taken literally -- the engine will never try to access
    any character after the last one in the subject.

    QRegularExpression implements this behaviour when using the
    PartialPreferFirstMatch match type. This match type reports a partial match
    as soon as it is found, and other match alternatives are not tried
    (even if they could lead to a complete match). For instance:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 19

    This happens because when matching the first branch of the alternation
    operator a partial match is found, and therefore matching stops, without
    trying the second branch. Another example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 20

    This shows what could seem a counterintuitve behaviour of quantifiers:
    since \c{?} is greedy, then the engine tries first to continue the match
    after having matched \c{"abc"}; but then the matching reaches the end of the
    subject string, and therefore a partial match is reported. This is
    even more surprising in the following example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 21

    It's easy to understand this behaviour if we remember that the engine
    expects the subject string to be only a substring of the whole text we're
    looking for a match into (that is, how we said before, that the engine
    assumes that there are other characters beyond the end of the subject
    string).

    Since the \c{*} quantifier is greedy, then reporting a complete match could
    be an error, because after the current subject \c{"abc"} there may be other
    occurrences of \c{"abc"}. For instance, the complete text could have been
    "abcabcX", and therefore the \e{right} match to report (in the complete
    text) would have been \c{"abcabc"}; by matching only against the leading
    \c{"abc"} we instead get a partial match.

    \section1 Error handling

    It is possible for a QRegularExpression object to be invalid because of
    syntax errors in the pattern string. The isValid() function will return
    true if the regular expression is valid, or false otherwise:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 22

    You can get more information about the specific error by calling the
    errorString() function; moreover, the patternErrorOffset() function
    will return the offset inside the pattern string

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 23

    If a match is attempted with an invalid QRegularExpression, then the
    returned QRegularExpressionMatch object will be invalid as well (that is,
    its \l{QRegularExpressionMatch::}{isValid()} function will return false).
    The same applies for attempting a global match.

    \section1 Unsupported Perl-compatible regular expressions features

    QRegularExpression does not support all the features available in
    Perl-compatible regular expressions. The most notable one is the fact that
    duplicated names for capturing groups are not supported, and using them can
    lead to undefined behaviour.

    This may change in a future version of Qt.

    \section1 Notes for QRegExp users

    The QRegularExpression class introduced in Qt 5 is a big improvement upon
    QRegExp, in terms of APIs offered, supported pattern syntax and speed of
    execution. The biggest difference is that QRegularExpression simply holds a
    regular expression, and it's \e{not} modified when a match is requested.
    Instead, a QRegularExpressionMatch object is returned, in order to check
    the result of a match and extract the captured substring. The same applies
    with global matching and QRegularExpressionMatchIterator.

    Other differences are outlined below.

    \section2 Exact matching

    QRegExp::exactMatch in Qt 4 served for two purposes: it exactly matched
    a regular expression against a subject string, and it implemented partial
    matching. In fact, if an exact match was not found, one could still find
    out how much of the subject string was matched by the regular expression
    by calling QRegExp::matchedLength(). If the returned length was equal
    to the subject string's length, then one could desume that a partial match
    was found.

    QRegularExpression supports partial matching explicitly by means of the
    appropriate MatchType. If instead you simply want to be sure that the
    subject string matches the regular expression exactly, you can wrap the
    pattern between a couple of anchoring expressions. Simply
    putting the pattern between the \c{^} and the \c{$} anchors is enough
    in most cases:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 24

    However, remember that the \c{$} anchor not only matches at the end of the
    string, but also at a newline character right before the end of the string;
    that is, the previous pattern matches against the string "this pattern must
    match exactly\n". Also, the behaviour of both the \c{^} and the \c{$}
    anchors changes if the MultiLineOption is set either explicitely (as a
    pattern option) or implicitly (as a directive inside the pattern string).

    Therefore, in the most general case, you should wrap the pattern between
    the \c{\A} and the \c{\z} anchors:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 25

    Note the usage of the non-capturing group in order to preserve the meaning
    of the branch operator inside the pattern.

    \section2 Global matching

    Due to limitations of the QRegExp API it was impossible to implement global
    matching correctly (that is, like Perl does). In particular, patterns that
    can match 0 characters (like \c{"a*"}) are problematic.

    QRegularExpression::globalMatch implements Perl global match correctly, and
    the returned iterator can be used to examine each result.

    \section2 Wildcard matching

    There is no equivalent of wildcard matching in QRegularExpression.
    Nevertheless, rewriting a regular expression in wildcard syntax to a
    Perl-compatible regular expression is a very easy task, given the fact
    that wildcard syntax supported by QRegExp is very simple.

    \section2 Other pattern syntaxes

    QRegularExpression supports only Perl-compatible regular expressions.

    \section2 Minimal matching

    QRegExp::setMinimal implemented minimal matching by simply reversing the
    greediness of the quantifiers (QRegExp did not support lazy quantifiers,
    like \c{*?}, \c{+?}, etc.). QRegularExpression instead does support greedy,
    lazy and possessive quantifiers. The InvertedGreedinessOption
    pattern option can be useful to emulate the effects of QRegExp::setMinimal:
    if enabled, it inverts the greediness of quantifiers (greedy ones become
    lazy and vice versa).

    \section2 Caret modes

    The AnchoredMatchOption match option can be used to emulate the
    QRegExp::CaretAtOffset behaviour. There is no equivalent for the other
    QRegExp::CaretMode modes.

    \section1 Debugging code that uses QRegularExpression

    QRegularExpression internally uses a just in time compiler (JIT) to
    optimize the execution of the matching algorithm. The JIT makes extensive
    usage of self-modifying code, which can lead debugging tools such as
    Valgrind to crash. You must enable all checks for self-modifying code if
    you want to debug programs using QRegularExpression (f.i., see Valgrind's
    \c{--smc-check} command line option). The downside of enabling such checks
    is that your program will run considerably slower.

    To avoid that, the JIT is disabled by default if you compile Qt in debug
    mode. It is possible to override the default and enable or disable the JIT
    usage (both in debug or release mode) by setting the
    \c{QT_ENABLE_REGEXP_JIT} environment variable to a non-zero or zero value
    respectively.

    A QRegularExpressionMatch object can be obtained by calling the
    QRegularExpression::match() function, or as a single result of a global
    match from a QRegularExpressionMatchIterator.

    The success or the failure of a match attempt can be inspected by calling
    the hasMatch() function. QRegularExpressionMatch also reports a successful
    partial match through the hasPartialMatch() function.

    In addition, QRegularExpressionMatch returns the substrings captured by the
    capturing groups in the pattern string. The implicit capturing group with
    index 0 captures the result of the whole match. The captured() function
    returns each substring captured, either by the capturing group's index or
    by its name:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_tools_qregularexpression.cpp 29

    For each captured substring it is possible to query its starting and ending
    offsets in the subject string by calling the capturedStart() and the
    capturedEnd() function, respectively. The length of each captured
    substring is available using the capturedLength() function.

    The convenience function capturedTexts() will return \e{all} the captured
    substrings at once (including the substring matched by the entire pattern)
    in the order they have been captured by captring groups; that is,
    \c{captured(i) == capturedTexts().at(i)}.

    You can retrieve the QRegularExpression object the subject string was
    matched against by calling the regularExpression() function; the
    match type and the match options are available as well by calling

    \value NoPatternOption
        No pattern options are set.

    \value CaseInsensitiveOption
        The pattern should match against the subject string in a case
        insensitive way. This option corresponds to the /i modifier in Perl
        regular expressions.

    \value DotMatchesEverythingOption
        The dot metacharacter (\c{.}) in the pattern string is allowed to match
        any character in the subject string, including newlines (normally, the
        dot does not match newlines). This option corresponds to the \c{/s}
        modifier in Perl regular expressions.

    \value MultilineOption
        The caret (\c{^}) and the dollar (\c{$}) metacharacters in the pattern
        string are allowed to match, respectively, immediately after and
        immediately before any newline in the subject string, as well as at the
        very beginning and at the very end of the subject string. This option
        corresponds to the \c{/m} modifier in Perl regular expressions.

    \value ExtendedPatternSyntaxOption
        Any whitespace in the pattern string which is not escaped and outside a
        character class is ignored. Moreover, an unescaped sharp (\bold{#})
        outside a character class causes all the following characters, until
        the first newline (included), to be ignored. This can be used to
        increase the readability of a pattern string as well as put comments
        inside regular expressions; this is particulary useful if the pattern
        string is loaded from a file or written by the user, because in C++
        code it is always possible to use the rules for string literals to put
        comments outside the pattern string. This option corresponds to the \c{/x}
        modifier in Perl regular expressions.

    \value InvertedGreedinessOption
        The greediness of the quantifiers is inverted: \c{*}, \c{+}, \c{?},
        \c{{m,n}}, etc. become lazy, while their lazy versions (\c{*?},
        \c{+?}, \c{??}, \c{{m,n}?}, etc.) become greedy. There is no equivalent
        for this option in Perl regular expressions.

    \value DontCaptureOption
        The non-named capturing groups do not capture substrings; named
        capturing groups still work as intended, as well as the implicit
        capturing group number 0 corresponding to the entire match. There is no
        equivalent for this option in Perl regular expressions.

    \value UseUnicodePropertiesOption
        The meaning of the \c{\w}, \c{\d}, etc., character types, as well as
        the meaning of their counterparts (\c{\W}, \c{\D}, etc.), is changed
        from matching ASCII charaters only to matching any character with the
        corresponding Unicode property. For instance, \c{\d} is changed to
        match any character with the Unicode Nd (decimal digit) property;
        \c{\w} to match any character with either the Unicode L (letter) or N
        (digit) property, plus underscore, and so on. This option corresponds
        to the \c{/u} modifier in Perl regular expressions.

        The pattern string is matched partially against the subject string. If
        a partial match is found, then it is recorded, and other matching
        alternatives are tried as usual. If a complete match is then found,
        then it's preferred to the partial match; in this case only the
        complete match is reported. If instead no complete match is found (but
        only the partial one), then the partial one is reported.

        assumes that the subject string only a substring of a larger text, and

    previous.

    Advancing a match is a tricky algorithm. If the previous match matched a
    non-empty string, we just do an ordinary match at the offset position.

    If the previous match matched an empty string, then an anchored, non-empty
    match is attempted at the offset position. If that succeeds, then we got
    the next match and we can return it. Otherwise, we advance by 1 position
    (which can be one or two code units in UTF-16!) and reattempt a "normal"
    match. We also have the problem of detecting the current newline format: if
    the new advanced offset is pointing to the beginning of a CRLF sequence, we
    must advance over it.
