-Test data was taken from the Go distribution, which was in turn taken from the
-testregex test suite:
-
- http://www2.research.att.com/~astopen/testregex/testregex.html
-
-Unfortunately, the above link is now dead, but the test data lives on.
-
-The LICENSE in this directory corresponds to the LICENSE that the data was
-originally released under.
-
-The tests themselves were modified for RE2/Go. A couple were modified further
-by me (Andrew Gallant) (only in repetition.dat) so that RE2/Go would pass them.
-(Yes, it seems like RE2/Go includes failing test cases.) This may or may not
-have been a bad idea, but I think being consistent with an established Regex
-library is worth something.
-
-After some number of years, these tests were transformed into a JSON format
-using the fowler-to-json script in this directory, e.g.,
-
- ./fowler-to-json basic.dat > basic.json
-
-which brings them into a sensible structured format in which other tests can
-be written.
