Disclaimer: This is not my library, this is what I've gleaned from reading the code. I could always be wrong!

It actually can use RegExp's, but they're only being used to locate the language primitive types words (e.g. char, wchar_t, etc..).

Most of the library is actually written as a hand-implemented state machine rather than relying on regular expressions.
