Feature request: -strict
Grinnz opened this issue · comments
It would be nice to provide an option to prevent any fallback to the core regex engine, in case you want to only use PCRE2. See similar option for re::engine::RE2: https://metacpan.org/pod/re::engine::RE2#NOTES
Indeed, thanks. Should be easy to implement.
I'm just not sure about the name. strict looks more like a pcre2 capability, which it doesn't have.
-strict => 1
Be strict, i.e. don't allow regexps that are not supported by this engine. Don't fallback to the CORE regex engine, rather error.
Maybe -no-fallback, -no-core, -only-pcre2 or -pcre2-only are better.
-no-fallback seems pretty descriptive.
