From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: DJ Delorie To: gcc@gcc.gnu.org, gdb@sources.redhat.com, binutils@sources.redhat.com, cygwin@sources.redhat.com Subject: Another RFC: regex in libiberty Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2001 18:27:00 -0000 Message-id: <200106080127.VAA01308@greed.delorie.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-06/msg00369.html [More lists added to get a wider audience] I didn't get a clear feeling about what people wanted wrt this. I saw three people propose three versions of regex, not much to go on. Is this a big deal? Will it really get used by everyone who currently has their own regex? Is it important to try to use a BSD-licensed regex to minimize future problems? The two contenders seem to be a modified GNU regex and the ever-popular Henry Spencer's regex. Does anyone have any strong opinions for either of these, or against any regex in libiberty at all?
