Bug ID: 26725
Summary: regcomp.c uses unusual syntax for function pointers
Product: glibc
Version: 2.32
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: regex
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: bruno at clisp dot org
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 12895
--> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=12895&action=edit
Proposed patch
regcomp.c uses a syntax for function pointers that I haven't seen in use
elsewhere in 20 years. It doesn't ease understanding of the code.
Find attached a patch to use the common syntax instead.
See Paul Eggert's opinion on this in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2020-09/msg00019.html .
