1 # These bits are passed to regex.set_syntax() to choose among
2 # alternative regexp syntaxes.
4 # 1 means plain parentheses serve as grouping, and backslash
5 # parentheses are needed for literal searching.
6 # 0 means backslash-parentheses are grouping, and plain parentheses
7 # are for literal searching.
10 # 1 means plain | serves as the "or"-operator, and \| is a literal.
11 # 0 means \| serves as the "or"-operator, and | is a literal.
14 # 0 means plain + or ? serves as an operator, and \+, \? are literals.
15 # 1 means \+, \? are operators and plain +, ? are literals.
18 # 1 means | binds tighter than ^ or $.
19 # 0 means the contrary.
22 # 1 means treat \n as an _OR operator
23 # 0 means treat it as a normal character
26 # 0 means that a special characters (such as *, ^, and $) always have
27 # their special meaning regardless of the surrounding context.
28 # 1 means that special characters may act as normal characters in some
29 # contexts. Specifically, this applies to:
30 # ^ - only special at the beginning, or after ( or |
31 # $ - only special at the end, or before ) or |
32 # *, +, ? - only special when not after the beginning, (, or |
