use crate::{ast, hir, Error}; /// A convenience routine for parsing a regex using default options. /// /// This is equivalent to `Parser::new().parse(pattern)`. /// /// If you need to set non-default options, then use a [`ParserBuilder`]. /// /// This routine returns an [`Hir`](hir::Hir) value.

If the AST exceeds the given limit (e.g., with too many nested /// groups), then an error is returned by the parser. /// /// The purpose of this limit is to act as a heuristic to prevent stack /// overflow for consumers that do structural induction on an `Ast` using /// explicit recursion. While this crate never does this (instead using /// constant stack space and moving the call stack to the heap), other /// crates may. /// /// This limit is not checked until the entire Ast is parsed.

For example, a nest limit of `0` permits `a` but /// not `ab`, since `ab` requires a concatenation, which results in a nest /// depth of `1`.
