Subject: [Bug libgcj/20504] New: java.util.regex implementation doesn't support quoting constructs

This was originally filed in GNU Classpath's BTS, but it should probably be here
as well.

We were recently having some problems with the search functionality in native
eclipse[1]. It boiled down to the lack of quoting regex constructs support in
gnu.regexp.RE (\Q, \E). A simple test:

Pattern.compile("\\Q" + "boo" + "\\E").matcher("Peekaboo").find();

returns false using classpath and true using java-sun.

I'm attaching a more comprehensive Mauve test for the java.util.regex
functionality. It consists of three test suites, adapted from PCRE[2] (which is
BSD licensed):

- testdata1: tests that are currently passed by classpath
- testdata2: tests that currently fail (disabled since they probably
need to be reviewed)
- testdata3: tests that use quoting constructs

I'm also attaching a tentative patch for the quoting constructs problem.
