Use REGEX to replace X(…) with X{…}

Question

The problem comes from updating code to C++11, which uses initialisers.

So:

a = X(4);
b = X();
c = X( (1+2)*(3+4) );
void P : X(5) { foo(); }
         


        

Answer 1

This is because the operators * and + are greedy. However, you can enforce laziness by using the expression

X\((.*?)\);

The ? Symbol enforces a lazy match.
