The GNU extension bits in the base system are old, no longer faithful to upstream, and surprising in some regards. Switch to documenting WITH_GNU_GREP_COMPAT and default GNU_GREP_COMPAT to OFF in the name of good behavior. According to http://www.regular-expressions.info, GNU extensions: - Add missing quantifiers to BREs: \?, \+ - Add branching to BREs: \| - Add backreferences (\1 through \9) to EREs - Add \w, \W, \s, and \S corresponding to :alnum:, [^[:alnum:]], :space:, and [^[:space:]] respectively - Add word boundaries and anchors: \b: word boundary \B: not word boundary \<: Strt of word \>: End of word \`: Start of subject string \': End of subject string These extensions are still available in /usr/bin/grep by default today, as it is still GNU grep. As part of the bsdgrep migration plan these extensions may be added to bsdgrep's regex support if necessary.
