# Re test suite and benchmark suite v1.5

# The 3 possible outcomes for each pattern
[SUCCEED, FAIL, SYNTAX_ERROR] = range(3)

# Benchmark suite (needs expansion)
#
# The benchmark suite does not test correctness, just speed.  The
# first element of each tuple is the regex pattern; the second is a
# string to match it against.  The benchmarking code will embed the
# second string inside several sizes of padding, to test how regex
# matching performs on large strings.

    # test common prefix

]

# Test suite (for verifying correctness)
#
# The test suite is a list of 5- or 3-tuples.  The 5 parts of a
# complete tuple are:
# element 0: a string containing the pattern
#         1: the string to match against the pattern
#         2: the expected result (SUCCEED, FAIL, SYNTAX_ERROR)
#         3: a string that will be eval()'ed to produce a test string.
#            This is an arbitrary Python expression; the available
#            variables are "found" (the whole match), and "g1", "g2", ...
#            up to "g99" contain the contents of each group, or the
#            string 'None' if the group wasn't given a value, or the
#            string 'Error' if the group index was out of range;
#            also "groups", the return value of m.group() (a tuple).
#         4: The expected result of evaluating the expression.
#            If the two don't match, an error is reported.
#
# If the regex isn't expected to work, the latter two elements can be omitted.
