pike_search

pike_search :: (
    program: *Program,
    text: string,
    start: int,
    end: int,
    anchored: bool,
    slots: [] int
) -> bool

Runs program over text[start .. end] (looks still see all of text). Anchored searches only try start. Fills slots (the first slots.count of them, -1 for groups that did not take part: pass two to find only where the match is) and returns whether anything matched; the match is the leftmost one, and among those, the one the pattern prefers.

Parameters

program: *Program

text: string

start: int

end: int

anchored: bool

slots: [] int

Returns

bool
