Pattern

A GPatternSpec struct is the 'compiled' form of a pattern. This structure is opaque and its fields cannot be accessed directly.

class Pattern {

GPatternSpec* gPatternSpec;

bool ownedRef;

GPatternSpec* getPatternStruct(bool transferOwnership);

void* getStruct();

this(GPatternSpec* gPatternSpec, bool ownedRef);

this(string pattern);

Pattern copy();

bool equal(Pattern pspec2);

bool match(size_t stringLength, string string_, string stringReversed);

bool matchString(string string_);

static bool patternMatch(Pattern pspec, uint stringLength, string string_, string stringReversed);

static bool patternMatchSimple(string pattern, string string_);

static bool patternMatchString(Pattern pspec, string string_);

}

Constructors

this this(GPatternSpec* gPatternSpec, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
this this(string pattern): Compiles a pattern to a #GPatternSpec.

Destructor

~this ~this(): Undocumented in source.

Members

Functions

copy Pattern copy(): Copies @pspec in a new #GPatternSpec.
equal bool equal(Pattern pspec2): Compares two compiled pattern specs and returns whether they will match the same set of strings.
free void free(): Frees the memory allocated for the #GPatternSpec.
getPatternStruct GPatternSpec* getPatternStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
match bool match(size_t stringLength, string string_, string stringReversed): Matches a string against a compiled pattern. Passing the correct length of the string given is mandatory. The reversed string can be omitted by passing %NULL, this is more efficient if the reversed version of the string to be matched is not at hand, as g_pattern_match() will only construct it if the compiled pattern requires reverse matches.
matchString bool matchString(string string_): Matches a string against a compiled pattern. If the string is to be matched against more than one pattern, consider using g_pattern_match() instead while supplying the reversed string.

Static functions

patternMatch bool patternMatch(Pattern pspec, uint stringLength, string string_, string stringReversed): Matches a string against a compiled pattern. Passing the correct length of the string given is mandatory. The reversed string can be omitted by passing %NULL, this is more efficient if the reversed version of the string to be matched is not at hand, as g_pattern_match() will only construct it if the compiled pattern requires reverse matches.
patternMatchSimple bool patternMatchSimple(string pattern, string string_): Matches a string against a pattern given as a string. If this function is to be called in a loop, it's more efficient to compile the pattern once with g_pattern_spec_new() and call g_pattern_match_string() repeatedly.
patternMatchString bool patternMatchString(Pattern pspec, string string_): Matches a string against a compiled pattern. If the string is to be matched against more than one pattern, consider using g_pattern_match() instead while supplying the reversed string.

Variables

gPatternSpec GPatternSpec* gPatternSpec;: the main Gtk struct
