I don't understand this patch. What changes are you expecting to come
on the glibc side?
- Will they change RE_BACKSLASH_ESCAPE_IN_LISTS from
((unsigned long int) 1)
to
(1UL)
in order to make the RE_* values usable in preprocessor expressions?
No; I followed up with a later patch to remove that assumption.
- Will they change the value of RE_SYNTAX_EMACS? Or can't they do this,
because that would break backward compatibility?
The idea is to change the value of RE_SYNTAX_EMACS, yes.
