changeset 26906:5eb1e428de28

1999-12-15 Kenichi Handa <[e-mail]> * regex.c (regex_compile): Adjusted for the change of CHAR_STRING. 1999-12-04 Stefan Monnier <[e-mail]> * regex.c (regex_compile): Recognize *?, +? and ?? as non-greedy operators and handle them properly. * regex.h (RE_ALL_GREEDY): New option. (RE_UNMATCHED_RIGHT_PAREN_ORD): Moved to the end where alphabetic sorting would put it. (RE_SYNTAX_AWK, RE_SYNTAX_GREP, RE_SYNTAX_EGREP) (_RE_SYNTAX_POSIX_COMMON): Use the new option to keep old behavior.
