We're currently providing the GNU regex library, it seems Mac OS X and FreeBSD ship with a regex library that has REG_STARTEND (according to `git log --reverse compat/regex` the current library was added because of incompatibilities on OSX, but those were since fixed in 310e0216c8). If the FreeBSD and Mac OS X implementations are good enough we could just swap the GNU one for the FreeBSD one (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/regex/). Is there any reason not to do this, or would a different regex library be a better fit? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
