This directory contains the GNU regex library. It is compliant with
|
||
POSIX.2, except for internationalization features.
|
||
|
||
See the file NEWS for a list of major changes in the current release.
|
||
|
||
See the file INSTALL for compilation instructions. (The only thing
|
||
installed is the documentation; regex.c is compiled into regex.o, but
|
||
not installed anywhere.)
|
||
|
||
The subdirectory `doc' contains a (programmers') manual for the library.
|
||
It's probably out-of-date. Improvements are welcome.
|
||
|
||
The subdirectory `test' contains the various tests we've written.
|
||
|
||
We know this code is not as fast as it might be. If you have specific
|
||
suggestions, profiling results, or other such useful information to
|
||
report, please do.
|
||
|
||
Emacs 18 is not going use this revised regex (but Emacs 19 will). If
|
||
you want to try it with Emacs 18, apply the patch at the end of this
|
||
file first.
|
||
|
||
Mail bug reports to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
|
||
|
||
Please include an actual regular expression that fails (and the syntax
|
||
used to compile it); without that, there's no way to reproduce the bug,
|
||
so there's no way we can fix it. Even if you include a patch, also
|
||
include the regular expression in error; otherwise, we can't know for
|
||
sure what you're trying to fix.
|
||
|
||
Here is the patch to make this version of regex work with Emacs 18.
