1// glob.nx -- POSIX-style glob pattern matching.
2//
3// Supports:
4// ? match exactly one byte (any byte except null)
5// * match zero or more bytes (greedy, with backtrack)
6// [abc] match any byte in the set
7// [a-z] match any byte in the inclusive range
8// [!abc] negated set (not any of abc)
9// \\x literal x (escapes *, ?, [, \)
10// anything literal byte match
11//
12// Used by: fs.nx dir-walk (list files matching *.nx), nxmake.nx
13// dependency inputs, ignore files (.gitignore-style patterns).
14//
15// This is NOT a full regex -- just POSIX fnmatch's basic set.
16// Don't try to encode complex patterns; use a real regex engine
17// when they appear (roadmap: runtime/re.nx, TBD).
18//
19// Invariants:
20// G1 Pure function: no memory allocation, no syscalls; runs
21// purely on the input strings. Safe in tight loops.
22// G2 Linear time in (pattern_len * text_len) worst case --
23// no catastrophic backtracking because `*` backtrack is
24// bounded by text length.
25// G3 Null-byte terminator aware: both pattern and text stop
26// at '\0'. Callers with embedded-null bytes should pre-
27// sanitize.
28// G4 Character classes support byte ranges only; no Unicode
29// codepoint classes. UTF-8 multibyte treated as opaque
30// bytes (still matches correctly for byte-exact input).
31
32// nx_safety_envelope:
33// intended_use: AUTO_APPLIED -- primitive-specific tuning queued
34// sil_target: SIL1
35// evidence: [bulk_applied_2026-05-16, see-file-comment-for-detail]
36// verdict: NOT_YET_EVALUATED
