From b16b9e4656e7199c2aec74a4c8ebc7a875d3ba73 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Gabriel Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2015 15:02:49 +0100 Subject: massive reduction of unneeded files --- nx-X11/extras/regex/WHATSNEW | 105 ------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 105 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 nx-X11/extras/regex/WHATSNEW (limited to 'nx-X11/extras/regex/WHATSNEW') diff --git a/nx-X11/extras/regex/WHATSNEW b/nx-X11/extras/regex/WHATSNEW deleted file mode 100644 index d84f9e34d..000000000 --- a/nx-X11/extras/regex/WHATSNEW +++ /dev/null @@ -1,105 +0,0 @@ -New in alpha3.7: A bit of cleanup aimed at maximizing portability, -possibly at slight cost in efficiency. "ul" suffixes and "unsigned long" -no longer appear, in particular. - -New in alpha3.6: A couple more portability glitches fixed. - -New in alpha3.5: Active development of this code has been stopped -- -I'm working on a complete reimplementation -- but folks have found some -minor portability glitches and the like, hence this release to fix them. -One penalty: slightly reduced compatibility with old compilers, because -the ANSI C `unsigned long' type and `ul' constant suffix are used in a -few places (I could avoid this but it would be considerably more work). - -New in alpha3.4: The complex bug alluded to below has been fixed (in a -slightly kludgey temporary way that may hurt efficiency a bit; this is -another "get it out the door for 4.4" release). The tests at the end of -the tests file have accordingly been uncommented. The primary sign of -the bug was that something like a?b matching ab matched b rather than ab. -(The bug was essentially specific to this exact situation, else it would -have shown up earlier.) - -New in alpha3.3: The definition of word boundaries has been altered -slightly, to more closely match the usual programming notion that "_" -is an alphabetic. Stuff used for pre-ANSI systems is now in a subdir, -and the makefile no longer alludes to it in mysterious ways. The -makefile has generally been cleaned up some. Fixes have been made -(again!) so that the regression test will run without -DREDEBUG, at -the cost of weaker checking. A workaround for a bug in some folks' - has been added. And some more things have been added to -tests, including a couple right at the end which are commented out -because the code currently flunks them (complex bug; fix coming). -Plus the usual minor cleanup. - -New in alpha3.2: Assorted bits of cleanup and portability improvement -(the development base is now a BSDI system using GCC instead of an ancient -Sun system, and the newer compiler exposed some glitches). Fix for a -serious bug that affected REs using many [] (including REG_ICASE REs -because of the way they are implemented), *sometimes*, depending on -memory-allocation patterns. The header-file prototypes no longer name -the parameters, avoiding possible name conflicts. The possibility that -some clot has defined CHAR_MIN as (say) `-128' instead of `(-128)' is -now handled gracefully. "uchar" is no longer used as an internal type -name (too many people have the same idea). Still the same old lousy -performance, alas. - -New in alpha3.1: Basically nothing, this release is just a bookkeeping -convenience. Stay tuned. - -New in alpha3.0: Performance is no better, alas, but some fixes have been -made and some functionality has been added. (This is basically the "get -it out the door in time for 4.4" release.) One bug fix: regfree() didn't -free the main internal structure (how embarrassing). It is now possible -to put NULs in either the RE or the target string, using (resp.) a new -REG_PEND flag and the old REG_STARTEND flag. The REG_NOSPEC flag to -regcomp() makes all characters ordinary, so you can match a literal -string easily (this will become more useful when performance improves!). -There are now primitives to match beginnings and ends of words, although -the syntax is disgusting and so is the implementation. The REG_ATOI -debugging interface has changed a bit. And there has been considerable -internal cleanup of various kinds. - -New in alpha2.3: Split change list out of README, and moved flags notes -into Makefile. Macro-ized the name of regex(7) in regex(3), since it has -to change for 4.4BSD. Cleanup work in engine.c, and some new regression -tests to catch tricky cases thereof. - -New in alpha2.2: Out-of-date manpages updated. Regerror() acquires two -small extensions -- REG_ITOA and REG_ATOI -- which avoid debugging kludges -in my own test program and might be useful to others for similar purposes. -The regression test will now compile (and run) without REDEBUG. The -BRE \$ bug is fixed. Most uses of "uchar" are gone; it's all chars now. -Char/uchar parameters are now written int/unsigned, to avoid possible -portability problems with unpromoted parameters. Some unsigned casts have -been introduced to minimize portability problems with shifting into sign -bits. - -New in alpha2.1: Lots of little stuff, cleanup and fixes. The one big -thing is that regex.h is now generated, using mkh, rather than being -supplied in the distribution; due to circularities in dependencies, -you have to build regex.h explicitly by "make h". The two known bugs -have been fixed (and the regression test now checks for them), as has a -problem with assertions not being suppressed in the absence of REDEBUG. -No performance work yet. - -New in alpha2: Backslash-anything is an ordinary character, not an -error (except, of course, for the handful of backslashed metacharacters -in BREs), which should reduce script breakage. The regression test -checks *where* null strings are supposed to match, and has generally -been tightened up somewhat. Small bug fixes in parameter passing (not -harmful, but technically errors) and some other areas. Debugging -invoked by defining REDEBUG rather than not defining NDEBUG. - -New in alpha+3: full prototyping for internal routines, using a little -helper program, mkh, which extracts prototypes given in stylized comments. -More minor cleanup. Buglet fix: it's CHAR_BIT, not CHAR_BITS. Simple -pre-screening of input when a literal string is known to be part of the -RE; this does wonders for performance. - -New in alpha+2: minor bits of cleanup. Notably, the number "32" for the -word width isn't hardwired into regexec.c any more, the public header -file prototypes the functions if __STDC__ is defined, and some small typos -in the manpages have been fixed. - -New in alpha+1: improvements to the manual pages, and an important -extension, the REG_STARTEND option to regexec(). -- cgit v1.2.3
