do not use leftmost-longest matching for addresses.
2004-12-26 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org>
Do not use leftmost-longest matching for addresses.
* NEWS: Add a note about this.
* testsuite/recall2.good, testsuite/recall2.inp,
testsuite/recall2.sed: New test.
* testsuite/Makefile.am, testsuite/Makefile.tests: Add the
recall2 test.
* sed/sed.h (struct regex): New.
(struct addr, struct subst, compile_regex, match_regex,
release_regex): Use it instead of regex_t.
* sed/compile.c (compile_program): Update for new meaning of
the third parameter of compile_regex.
* sed/execute.c (do_subst): Pass less conservative value to
the regsize parameter of match_regex.
* sed/regexp.c (compile_regex_1): New, extracted out of
compile_regex. The third parameter, needed_sub, now includes
\0 (so 10 means that \0 .. \9 are needed). Pass RE_NO_SUB
if needed_sub is zero.
(compile_regex): Accept a struct regex instead of a regex_t.
Save the regular expression's text.
(match_regex): Accept a struct regex instead of a regex_t.
Recompile the pattern if it was compiled with RE_NO_SUB.
(release_regex): Accept a struct regex instead of a regex_t.
* doc/Makefile.am: Generate sed.texi correctly when
building outside srcdir.
