/* The implementation provided here emulates the needed functionality
   by mapping to the POSIX regular _expression_ matcher.  The interface
   for the here included function is weird (this really is a harmless
   word).

 

   The user has to provide six macros before this header file can be
   included:

 

   INIT  Declarations vor variables which can be used by the
  other macros.

 

   GETC() Return the value of the next character in the regular
  _expression_ pattern.  Successive calls should return
  successive characters.

 

   PEEKC() Return the value of the next character in the regular
  _expression_ pattern.  Immediately successive calls to
  PEEKC() should return the same character which should
  also be the next character returned by GETC().

 

   UNGETC(c) Cause `c' to be returned by the next call to GETC() and
  PEEKC().

 

   RETURN(ptr) Used for normal exit of the `compile' function.  `ptr'
  is a pointer to the character after the last character of
  the compiled regular _expression_.

 

   ERROR(val) Used for abnormal return from `compile'.  `val' is the
  error number.  The error codes are:
  11 Range endpoint too large.
  16 Bad number.
  25 \digit out of range.
  36 Illegal or missing delimiter.
  41 No remembered search string.
  42 \( \) imbalance.
  43 Too many \(.
  44 More tan two numbers given in \{ \}.
  45 } expected after \.
  46 First number exceeds second in \{ \}.
  49 [ ] imbalance.
  50 Regular _expression_ overflow.
