I have submitted a bug report with patch at http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11857 This addresses regex.h, but doesn't address the texinfo manual. Unfortunately the texinfo manual is not currently shipped with glibc. I have written to libc-alpha about this, but I would again appreciate pointers to how to get this omission fixed; in particular, I can't see how to submit patches to the regex documentation until it's actually being shipped. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
