Is it important to try to use a BSD-licensed >regex to minimize future problems? I would really like to get a clearer understanding of this file. This file is so full of #ifdef that I never really understood much of it. Neverthelees, I once sent a patch (without really expecting that it would be accepted) to allow case insensitive expression parsing which is included in my patch to the gdb-5.0 version for support of pascal language. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2000-06/msg00146.html And also Mark Kettenis answers http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2000-06/msg00150.html and http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2000-06/msg00155.html No decision to change to POSIX entry points were made since (unless I missed something, which is of course highly possible) Pierre Muller Institut Charles Sadron 6,rue Boussingault F 67083 STRASBOURG CEDEX (France) mailto:muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr Phone : (33)-3-88-41-40-07 Fax : (33)-3-88-41-40-99
