Write Texinfo documentation for grep. The manual page would be a good
|
||
|
|
place to start, but Info documents are also supposed to contain a
|
||
|
|
tutorial and examples.

Fix the DFA matcher to never use exponential space. (Fortunately, these
|
||
|
|
cases are rare.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Improve the performance of the regex backtracking matcher. This matcher
|
||
|
|
is agonizingly slow, and is responsible for grep sometimes being slower
|
||
|
|
than Unix grep when backreferences are used.
|

Provide support for the Posix [= =] and [. .] constructs. This is
|
||
|
|
difficult because it requires locale-dependent details of the character
|
||
|
|
set and collating sequence, but Posix does not standardize any method
|
||
|
|
for accessing this information!
