  • Use regexp to build the symbols list defined in GAP and its plugin pack

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 9 01:33:58 2022
    I noticed this file [1] includes almost all the symbols defined in GAP [2] and its plugin packages. But I think this should be created by searching gap source code using some complex regular expressions. I try to figure out the regex, but in vain.

    Any tips and tricks will be highly appreciated.

    Why do you think these data haven't already been collected by a regexp
    search?

    That's at least what I regularly do; filter data (including source code)
    to extract data that I comprise in some other context, often manually
    adding the surrounding context code (like the "export const GVars = ["
    in the current example), where in specific cases of continuous code
    generation processes that prefix/postfix handling can also be automated trivially.

    I try to figure out the regex, but in vain.

    And what is/was your concrete question/problem finding that regexp?

    Or do you want (as so often) that we do your job?

    Got it. In fact, it's done by using the gap language itself [1].
