<pre class='rust struct'>pub struct RegexSet(_);</pre><div class='docblock'><p>Match multiple (possibly overlapping) regular expressions in a single scan.</p>
<p>A regex set corresponds to the union of two or more regular expressions.
That is, a regex set will match text where at least one of its
constituent regular expressions matches. A regex set as its formulated here
provides a touch more power: it will also report <em>which</em> regular
expressions in the set match. Indeed, this is the key difference between
regex sets and a single <code>Regex</code> with many alternates, since only one
alternate can match at a time.</p>
<p>For example, consider regular expressions to match email addresses and
domains: <code>[a-z]+@[a-z]+\.(com|org|net)</code> and <code>[a-z]+\.(com|org|net)</code>. If a
regex set is constructed from those regexes, then searching the text
<code>foo@example.com</code> will report both regexes as matching. Of course, one
could accomplish this by compiling each regex on its own and doing two
searches over the text. The key advantage of using a regex set is that it
will report the matching regexes using a <em>single pass through the text</em>.
If one has hundreds or thousands of regexes to match repeatedly (like a URL
router for a complex web application or a user agent matcher), then a regex
set can realize huge performance gains.</p>
<h1 id='example' class='section-header'><a href='#example'>Example</a></h1>
<p>This shows how the above two regexes (for matching email addresses and
domains) might work:</p>

<span class="macro">assert</span><span class="macro">!</span>(<span class="ident">matches</span>.<span class="ident">is_empty</span>());</pre>
<p>Note that it would be possible to adapt the above example to using <code>Regex</code>
with an expression like:</p>
<pre class="rust rust-example-rendered">
(<span class="question-mark">?</span><span class="ident">P</span><span class="op">&lt;</span><span class="ident">email</span><span class="op">&gt;</span>[<span class="ident">a</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">z</span>]<span class="op">+</span>@(<span class="question-mark">?</span><span class="ident">P</span><span class="op">&lt;</span><span class="ident">email_domain</span><span class="op">&gt;</span>[<span class="ident">a</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">z</span>]<span class="op">+</span>[.](<span class="ident">com</span><span class="op">|</span><span class="ident">org</span><span class="op">|</span><span class="ident">net</span>)))<span class="op">|</span>(<span class="question-mark">?</span><span class="ident">P</span><span class="op">&lt;</span><span class="ident">domain</span><span class="op">&gt;</span>[<span class="ident">a</span><span class="op">-</span><span class="ident">z</span>]<span class="op">+</span>[.](<span class="ident">com</span><span class="op">|</span><span class="ident">org</span><span class="op">|</span><span class="ident">net</span>))</pre>
<p>After a match, one could then inspect the capture groups to figure out
which alternates matched. The problem is that it is hard to make this
approach scale when there are many regexes since the overlap between each
alternate isn&#39;t always obvious to reason about.</p>
<h1 id='limitations' class='section-header'><a href='#limitations'>Limitations</a></h1>
<p>Regex sets are limited to answering the following two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Does any regex in the set match?</li>
<li>If so, which regexes in the set match?</li>
</ol>
<p>As with the main <code>Regex</code> type, it is cheaper to ask (1) instead of (2)
since the matching engines can stop after the first match is found.</p>
<p>Other features like finding the location of successive matches or their
sub-captures aren&#39;t supported. If you need this functionality, the
recommended approach is to compile each regex in the set independently and
selectively match them based on which regexes in the set matched.</p>
<h1 id='performance' class='section-header'><a href='#performance'>Performance</a></h1>
<p>A <code>RegexSet</code> has the same performance characteristics as <code>Regex</code>. Namely,
search takes <code>O(mn)</code> time, where <code>m</code> is proportional to the size of the
regex set and <code>n</code> is proportional to the length of the search text.</p>
