Pcre Binding

Hi list, One recent project Patrick and I completed was the integration of the Lpeg library into the NSE. Lpeg parses pattern expressions grammars (of which regular expressions are a subset). Using the Lpeg library, we simplified various parts of the NSE (for example json.lua) and converted several scripts to use Lpeg's regular expressions instead of Pcre. Since no scripts are still using the Pcre binding, and Lpeg does everything it does, I propose removing the NSE binding for Pcre. I'm interested to know what people think of this (i.e. do you have some secret super awesome thing that you use the Pcre binding for). Cheers, Devin _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
