Note that the glibc 2.3.5 code is not portable to (admittedly weird) C89 hosts where size_t is narrower than int, since you can't use a function prototype with a size_t argument and follow that with an old-style function definition with a size_t argument. So the existing code wasn't portable to all possible C89 hosts anyway. I'll attach a patch. -- Summary: regex.h _RE_ARGS removal Product: glibc Version: 2.3.5 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: regex AssignedTo: gotom at debian dot or dot jp ReportedBy: eggert at gnu dot org CC: glibc-bugs-regex at sources dot redhat dot com,glibc- bugs at sources dot redhat dot com http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1222 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
