Method Detail

compileFactory

public static <T> NFACompiler.NFAFactory<T> compileFactory(Pattern<T,?> pattern,
                                                           boolean timeoutHandling)

Compiles the given pattern into a NFACompiler.NFAFactory. The NFA factory can be used to create multiple NFAs.

Type Parameters:

T - Type of the input events

Parameters:

pattern - Definition of sequence pattern

timeoutHandling - True if the NFA shall return timed out event patterns

Returns:

Factory for NFAs corresponding to the given pattern

canProduceEmptyMatches

public static boolean canProduceEmptyMatches(Pattern<?,?> pattern)

Verifies if the provided pattern can possibly generate empty match. Example of patterns that can possibly generate empty matches are: A*, A?, A* B? etc.

Parameters:

pattern - pattern to check

Returns:

true if empty match could potentially match the pattern, false otherwise
