Re: [PATCH] avoid exponential regex match for java and objc function names

Should I remove the "/* -- */" or is it for better readability I should
keep?

It helps detecting the separation between the function regex and the 
word regex:

quoted

-	 "^[ \t]*(([ \t]*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*){2,}[ \t]*\\([^;]*)$",
+	 "^[ \t]*(([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*[ \t]+)+[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*[ \t]*\\([^;]*)$",
+	 /* -- */

I stole the idea from the Objective-C part:

quoted

 	 /* C functions */
-	 "^[ \t]*(([ \t]*[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*){2,}[ \t]*\\([^;]*)$\n"
+	 "^[ \t]*(([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*[ \t]+)+[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*[ \t]*\\([^;]*)$\n"
 	 /* Objective-C class/protocol definitions */
 	 "^(@(implementation|interface|protocol)[ \t].*)$",
 	 /* -- */
