New multi-line regexp and new regexp syntax. (arg_type): at_icregexp label removed (obsolete). (pattern): New member multi_line for multi-line regexps. (filebuf): A global buffer containing the whole file as a string for multi-line regexp matching. (need_filebuf): Global flag raised if multi-line regexps used. (print_help): Document new regexp modifiers, remove references to obsolete option --ignore-case-regexp. (main): Do not set regexp syntax and translation table here. (main): Treat -c option as a backward compatibility hack. (main, find_entries): Init and free filebuf. (find_entries): Call regex_tag_multiline after the regular parser. (scan_separators): Check for untermintaed regexp and return NULL. (analyse_regex, add_regex): Remove the ignore_case argument, which is now a modifier to the regexp. All callers changed. (add_regex): Manage the regexp modifiers. (regex_tag_multiline): New function. Reads from filebuf. (readline_internal): If necessary, copy the whole file into filebuf. (readline): Skip multi-line regexps, leave them to regex_tag_multiline. (add_regex): Better check for null regexps. (readline): Check for regex matching null string. (find_entries): Reorganisation.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
