Ticket #1269 (new enhancement)

Regex Module Discards Attribute Flags

Reported by: BenjiSmith Assigned to: larsivi
Priority: normal Milestone: 1.0
Component: Core Functionality Version: trunk

Description

Since the RegExpT documentation doesn't include any details about regex flags (case insensitive, extended with regex comments, etc), I looked at the source code and noticed that the constructor discards the 'attributes' string: 

this(char_t[] pattern, char_t[] attributes=null)
{
   this(pattern, false, true);
}

I'd like to request supporting at least the "imsx" flags from Perl, if not the larger list of "imsudx" from Java.

http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/pod/perlre.html http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html

Thanks!

See also #1427 - assuming 'm' should work, current default behaviour of having multiline matching on is probably wrong.

That parameter should be removed until it is supported.
