BitVecRegexMatch

BitVecRegexMatch

Description

Simple regex-style pattern matching for bitvectors. Supports basic patterns: ‘*’ (any sequence), ‘?’ (0 or 1), ‘[01]’ (literal).

Parameters

Name Direction Description
bv in Bitvector to match against
pattern in Pattern string using regex syntax

Usage example (from documentation) 

  bool matches = BitVecRegexMatch(&data, "10*01");  // 10 followed by any bits, then 01

Success

true if bitvector matches the regex pattern

Failure

false on a malformed pattern string or when no match is found.
