Subject: regex.c simplification
Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2018 08:35:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a2b6d5419e6d86dc502c2fffcef62d02.squirrel@dancol.org> (raw)

I was doing some work on regex.c just now, and I was frustrated that the
code is unnecessarily complicated by the ifdefs necessary to support some
theoretical non-Emacs use case. Is all of this complexity really
necessary? Are we sure the !emacs case even compiles? Are there non-Emacs
users of the Emacs regex code? Can we just fork the implementation? How
about baking in switches like MATCH_MAY_ALLOCATE?
