CppCon 2018: Hana Dusíková “Compile Time Regular Expressions”

FYI: This is a C++ template version of compile time regex class. A 54:47 presentation at CppCon 2018 is worth more than a thousand words... see ▶ this video followup CppCon 2019 video at link As the above github repo mentions, more info at link

One of the stated benefits is that the compiler optimizer can optimize the regex state machine that gets created, resulting in significantly faster match times at runtime. There are some benchmarks if you look up her cppcon talk about the library iirc. Edit: here is her talk, at 39 minutes she shares the benchmarks. ▶ this video
