Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.2.50 |
Emacs comes with it's own version of regex.c, even though most UNIX
systems have a regex implementation. IIUC, this is for portability.
Suppose glibc's regex and Emacs' regex are unified - will Emacs still
build it's own regex version even on gnu systems (linux, hurd)?
this is probably not a big deal (regex is relatively small) -
but is there a way to detect that the system-supplied regex
(or another, bigger library, e.g., gettext or iconv) is good enough?
Finally, GNU CLISP (http://clisp.cons.org) comes with a GNU regex.c of
1994(!) - which version should we upgrade to? Emacs? GLIBC? GNU grep?
thanks.
