Description
WrapPosix.hsc exports a wrapped version of the ffi imports. To increase type safety, the flags are newtype'd. The other important export is a `Regex` type that is specific to the Posix library backend. The flags are documented in Text.Regex.Posix. The `defaultCompOpt` is `(compExtended .|. compNewline)`.

The `Regex`, `CompOption`, and `ExecOption` types and their `RegexOptions` instance is declared. The `=~` and `=~~` convenience functions are defined.

The exported symbols are the same whether HAVE_REGEX_H is defined, but when it is not defined then `getVersion == Nothing` and all other exported values will call error or fail.

This module will fail or error only if allocation fails or a nullPtr is passed in.

type RegOffset = Int64
RegOffset is typedef int regoff_t on Linux and ultimately typedef long long __int64_t on Max OS X. So rather than saying 2,147,483,647 is all the length you need, I'll take the larger: 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 should be enough bytes for anyone, no need for Integer. The alternative is to compile to different sizes in a platform dependent manner with type RegOffset = (#type regoff_t), which I do not want to do.

There is also a special value `unusedRegOffset` :: `RegOffset` which is (-1) and as a starting index means that the subgroup capture was unused. Otherwise the RegOffset indicates a character boundary that is before the character at that index offset, with the first character at index offset 0. So starting at 1 and ending at 2 means to take only the second character.

(=~) :: (RegexMaker Regex CompOption ExecOption source, RegexContext Regex source1 target) => source1 -> source -> target
(=~~) :: (RegexMaker Regex CompOption ExecOption source, RegexContext Regex source1 target, Monad m) => source1 -> source -> m target
Low-level API
type WrapError = (ReturnCode, String)
The return code will be retOk when it is the Haskell wrapper and not the underlying library generating the error message.
wrapCompile

:: CompOption | Flags (bitmapped)
-> ExecOption | Flags (bitmapped)
-> CString | The regular expression to compile (ASCII only, no null bytes)
-> IO (Either WrapError Regex) | Returns: the compiled regular expression

wrapTest :: Regex -> CString -> IO (Either WrapError Bool)
wrapMatch :: Regex -> CString -> IO (Either WrapError (Maybe [(RegOffset, RegOffset)]))
wrapMatch returns offsets for the begin and end of each capture. Unused captures have offsets of unusedRegOffset which is (-1)
wrapMatchAll :: Regex -> CString -> IO (Either WrapError [MatchArray])
wrapMatchAll returns the offset and length of each capture. Unused captures have an offset of unusedRegOffset which is (-1) and length of 0.
wrapCount :: Regex -> CString -> IO (Either WrapError Int)
Miscellaneous
unusedRegOffset :: RegOffset
Compilation options
newtype CompOption

A bitmapped `CInt` containing options for compilation of regular expressions. Option values (and their man 3 regcomp names) are

- `compBlank` which is a completely zero value for all the flags. This is also the `blankCompOpt` value.
- `compExtended` (REG_EXTENDED) which can be set to use extended instead of basic regular expressions. This is set in the `defaultCompOpt` value.
- `compNewline` (REG_NEWLINE) turns on newline sensitivity: The dot (.) and inverted set `[^ ]` never match newline, and ^ and $ anchors do match after and before newlines. This is set in the `defaultCompOpt` value.
- `compIgnoreCase` (REG_ICASE) which can be set to match ignoring upper and lower distinctions.
- `compNoSub` (REG_NOSUB) which turns off all information from matching except whether a match exists.

newtype ExecOption

A bitmapped `CInt` containing options for execution of compiled regular expressions. Option values (and their man 3 regexec names) are

- `execBlank` which is a complete zero value for all the flags. This is the blankExecOpt value.
- `execNotBOL` (REG_NOTBOL) can be set to prevent ^ from matching at the start of the input.
- `execNotEOL` (REG_NOTEOL) can be set to prevent $ from matching at the end of the input (before the terminating NUL).

Return codes
newtype ReturnCode

ReturnCode is an enumerated `CInt`, corresponding to the error codes from `man 3 regex`:

- `retBadbr` (`REG_BADBR`) invalid repetition count(s) in `{ }`
- `retBadpat` (`REG_BADPAT`) invalid regular expression
- `retBadrpt` (`REG_BADRPT`) `?`, `*`, or `+` operand invalid
- `retEcollate` (`REG_ECOLLATE`) invalid collating element
- `retEctype` (`REG_ECTYPE`) invalid character class
- `retEescape` (`REG_EESCAPE`) `\` applied to unescapable character
- `retEsubreg` (`REG_ESUBREG`) invalid backreference number
- `retEbrack` (`REG_EBRACK`) brackets `[ ]` not balanced
- `retEparen` (`REG_EPAREN`) parentheses `( )` not balanced
- `retEbrace` (`REG_EBRACE`) braces `{ }` not balanced
- `retErange` (`REG_ERANGE`) invalid character range in `[ ]`
- `retEspace` (`REG_ESPACE`) ran out of memory
- `retNoMatch` (`REG_NOMATCH`) The regexec() function failed to match
