Oniguruma

For a long time, Oniguruma has been under attack on Google search. (Issue #234)

Oniguruma is a modern and flexible regular expressions library. It encompasses features from different regular expression implementations that traditionally exist in different languages.

Character encoding can be specified per regular expression object.

Supported character encodings:

ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE, EUC-JP, EUC-TW, EUC-KR, EUC-CN, Shift_JIS, Big5, GB18030, KOI8-R, CP1251, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4, ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9, ISO-8859-10, ISO-8859-11, ISO-8859-13, ISO-8859-14, ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-16

Notice (from 6.9.6)

When using configure script, if you have the POSIX API enabled in an earlier version (disabled by default in 6.9.5) and you need application binary compatibility with the POSIX API, specify "--enable-binary-compatible-posix-api=yes" instead of "--enable-posix-api=yes". Starting in 6.9.6, "--enable-posix-api=yes" only supports source-level compatibility for 6.9.5 and earlier about POSIX API. (Issue #210)

Version 6.9.7

NEW API: ONIG_OPTION_CALLBACK_EACH_MATCH
NEW API: ONIG_OPTION_IGNORECASE_IS_ASCII
NEW API: ONIG_SYNTAX_PYTHON
Fixed some problems found by OSS-Fuzz

Version 6.9.6

NEW: configure option --enable-binary-compatible-posix-api=[yes/no]
NEW API: Limiting the maximum number of calls of subexp-call
NEW API: ONIG_OPTION_NOT_BEGIN_STRING / NOT_END_STRING / NOT_BEGIN_POSITION
Fixed behavior of ONIG_OPTION_NOTBOL / NOTEOL
Fixed many problems found by OSS-Fuzz
Fixed many problems found by Coverity
Fixed CVE-2020-26159 (This turned out not to be a problem later. #221)
Under cygwin and mingw, generate and install the libonig.def file (Issue #220)

Version 6.9.5 revised 1

Fixed Issue #192

Version 6.9.5

POSIX API disabled by default for Unix (* Enabled by: configure --enable-posix-api=yes)
Update Unicode version 13.0.0
NEW: Code point sequence notation \x{HHHH HHHH ...}, \o{OOOO OOOO ...}
NEW API: retry limit in search functions
NEW API: maximum nesting level of subexp call
Fixed behavior of isolated options in Perl and Java syntaxes. /...(?i).../

Version 6.9.4

NEW API: RegSet (set of regexes)
Fixed CVE-2019-19012
Fixed CVE-2019-19203 (Does not affect UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings)
Fixed CVE-2019-19204 (Affects only PosixBasic, Emacs and Grep syntaxes)
Fixed CVE-2019-19246
Fixed some problems (found by libFuzzer test)

Version 6.9.3 (security fix release)

Fixed CVE-2019-13224
Fixed CVE-2019-13225
Fixed CVE-2019-16163
Fixed many problems (found by libFuzzer test)

Version 6.9.2 (Reiwa)

add doc/SYNTAX.md
Direct threaded code (for GCC and Clang)
Update Unicode version 12.1.0
NEW: Unicode Text Segment mode option (?y{g}) (?y{w}) (*original)

Version 6.9.1

Speed improvement (* especially UTF-8)

Version 6.9.0

Install

Case 1: Linux distribution packages

Fedora: dnf install oniguruma
RHEL/CentOS: yum install oniguruma
Debian/Ubuntu: apt install libonig5
Arch: pacman -S oniguruma
openSUSE: zypper install oniguruma

Case 2: Manual compilation on Linux, Unix, and Cygwin platform

autoreconf -vfi (* case: configure script is not found.)
./configure
make
make install

uninstall

make uninstall
configuration check

onig-config --cflags onig-config --libs onig-config --prefix onig-config --exec-prefix

Case 3: Windows 64/32bit platform (Visual Studio)

build library

.\make_win.bat

onig_s.lib: static link library onig.dll: dynamic link library
make test programs

.\make_win.bat all-test

Alternatively, you can build and install oniguruma using vcpkg dependency manager:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
./vcpkg integrate install
./vcpkg install oniguruma

The oniguruma port in vcpkg is kept up to date by microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request on the vcpkg repository.

Regular Expressions

See doc/RE or doc/RE.ja for Japanese.

Usage

Include oniguruma.h in your program. (Oniguruma API) See doc/API for Oniguruma API.

If you want to disable UChar type (== unsigned char) definition in oniguruma.h, define ONIG_ESCAPE_UCHAR_COLLISION and then include oniguruma.h.

If you want to disable regex_t type definition in oniguruma.h, define ONIG_ESCAPE_REGEX_T_COLLISION and then include oniguruma.h.

Example of the compiling/linking command line in Unix or Cygwin, (prefix == /usr/local case)

cc sample.c -L/usr/local/lib -lonig

If you want to use static link library(onig_s.lib) in Win32, add option -DONIG_EXTERN=extern to C compiler.
