This module provides a function test_regex() that is functionally rather like regexp_matches(), but with additional debugging-oriented options and additional output. The debug options are somewhat obscure; they are chosen to match the API of the test harness that Henry Spencer wrote way-back-when for use in Tcl. With this, we can import all the test cases that Spencer wrote originally, even for regex functionality that we don't currently expose in Postgres. This seems necessary because we can no longer rely on Tcl to act as upstream and verify any fixes or improvements that we make. In addition to Spencer's tests, I added a few for lookbehind constraints (which we added in 2015, and Tcl still hasn't absorbed) that are modeled on his tests for lookahead constraints. After looking at code coverage reports, I also threw in a couple of tests to more fully exercise our "high colormap" logic. According to my testing, this brings the check-world coverage for src/backend/regex/ from 71.1% to 86.7% of lines. (coverage.postgresql.org shows a slightly different number, which I think is because it measures a non-assert build.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2873268.1609732164@sss.pgh.pa.us
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
