Research direction

Start by reading the existing CPC_TAKE_TILL_ONE_OF macro and the internal ___cpc_find_first_of function in the project header. Adapt the macro to pass its variadic arguments as input to that function, then check existing tests for the combinator and add coverage showing that a variable list of characters is accepted.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

difficulty: easy

Problem

The SIMD combinator we have CPC_TAKE_TILL_ONE_OF only accepts a string as parameter, in some cases it'd be useful to have a variable list of chars as arguments.

Solution

Add:

define CPC_TAKE_TILL_CHARS(name, ...)

It should use the __VA_ARGS__ as input to the internal ___cpc_find_first_of functin.
