[PATCH 7/8] grep: use REG_STARTEND for all matching if available

From
René Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx>
Date
May 22, 2010, 21:35 UTC
Message-ID
<4BF84E0B.5080902@lsrfire.ath.cx>
In-Reply-To
<4BF84B9E.7060009@lsrfire.ath.cx>

Refactor REG_STARTEND handling inlook_ahead() into a new helper, regmatch(), and use it for line matching, too. This allows regex matching beyond NUL characters if regexec() supports the flag. NUL characters themselves are not matched in any way, though.
