type regexp =
    Pcre of int (* Pcre.regexp *)
  | Str of Str.regexp

(* A table is used because PCRE regular expressions are not comparable.
They sit in constraints of rule_elems that get bound to exists v variables
in the matching process.  It would be expensive to strip them at runtime,
and complex to strip them statically, because both stripped and unstripped
versions would be needed in cocci_vs_c.  So instead we just replace them by
integers, which are comparable. *)
