Hi. After trying boost RegEx++ in intensive string processing(NLP), performance is poor. Simply, for those who wants the quickest regex modules in C++/C , does anybody know what´s the best open source alternative? Thank you.
I plan a re-write this autumn to improve performance, but seriously it's not that bad compared to the opposition: see http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/proposals/exregex.htm. Ultimately if performance is that important to you then regex's are the wrong tool - you probably should be using YACC or whatever...
