36 /* The implementation provided here emulates the needed functionality
37 by mapping to the POSIX regular expression matcher. The interface
38 for the here included function is weird (this really is a harmless
39 word).
41 The user has to provide five macros before this header file can be
42 included:
44 GETC() Return the value of the next character in the regular
45 expression pattern. Successive calls should return
46 successive characters.
48 PEEKC() Return the value of the next character in the regular
49 expression pattern. Immediately successive calls to
50 PEEKC() should return the same character which should
51 also be the next character returned by GETC().
53 UNGETC(c) Cause `c' to be returned by the next call to GETC() and
54 PEEKC().
56 RETURN(ptr) Used for normal exit of the `compile' function. `ptr'
57 is a pointer to the character after the last character of
58 the compiled regular expression.
60 ERROR(val) Used for abnormal return from `compile'. `val' is the
61 error number. The error codes are:
62 11 Range endpoint too large.
63 16 Bad number.
64 25 \digit out of range.
65 36 Illegal or missing delimiter.
66 41 No remembered search string.
67 42 \( \) imbalance.
68 43 Too many \(.
69 44 More tan two numbers given in \{ \}.
70 45 } expected after \.
71 46 First number exceeds second in \{ \}.
72 49 [ ] imbalance.
73 50 Regular expression overflow.
