Re: Shy groups in regexps are hosed?

Thanks for picking up on this issue so quickly! Stefan> It took me a significant amount of rework to fix it for Stefan> Emacs-21. Stefan> I sent the corresponding patch+changelog to Jan Vroonhof, Stefan> but merging them into XEmacs' regexp.c is not a piece of Stefan> cake. OK, I found that patch, he forwarded it to xemacs-beta in February or so. I did read through the patch, and although I don't understand the code, the comments seem to be greatly improved. I did recognize a lot of it from browsing the regex.c. It seems like a lot should be fairly straightforward to merge, maybe 2/3 to 3/4. If you don't mind, I have a few questions: Do you have any further comments you might be willing to make on main difficulties in merging, or whatever? Do you have any other test cases, besides the two or three you put in the patch? Has your code stood up in test since last year, or have you had to make any revisions?
