Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (3): compat/regex: use the regex engine from gawk for compat compat/regex: get the gawk regex engine to compile within git t/t7008-grep-binary.sh: un-TODO a test that needs REG_STARTEND
For what it’s worth: Acked-by: Jonathan Nieder <redacted> Thanks. Here’s a patch to go on top. I am not sure what platforms support REG_STARTEND, but we can always update the makefile as reports come in. -- 8< -- Subject: autoconf: don't use platform regex if it lacks REG_STARTEND If the platform regex cannot match null bytes, we might as well use the glibc version instead.
