Akin to r327783 for amd64. lld has been usable for amd64 for quite some
time, but a couple of issues remained that affected i386. These were
recently addressed upstream in lld and merged into FreeBSD (r326831,
r326879, r326897, r326957), so we can now use ld.lld on i386 as well.
Similarly to amd64 this change enables lld only as the bootstrap linker
(used to link the kernel and userland libraries and executables), while
GNU ld.bfd is still installed as /usr/bin/ld and used for ports builds.
The ports collection is essentially ready to use lld as the system
linker for amd64, but many ports still have trouble with lld on i386,
because lld defaults to -ztext, disallowing relocations against readonly
segments. Thus switching the system linker (WITH_LLD_IS_LD) will happen
later on a per-arch basis.

For some time we have been planning to migrate to LLVM's lld linker.
Having a man page was the last blocking issue for using ld.lld to link
the base system kernel + userland, now addressed by r327770. Link the
kernel and userland libraries and binaries with ld.lld by default, for
additional test coverage.
This has been a long time in the making. On 2013-04-13 I submitted an
upstream tracking issue in LLVM PR 23214: [META] Using LLD as FreeBSD's
system linker. Since then 85 individual issues were identified, and
submitted as dependencies. These have been addressed along with two
and a half years of other lld development and improvement.
I'd like to express deep gratitude to upstream lld developers Rui
Ueyama, Rafael Espindola, George Rimar and Davide Italiano. They put in
substantial effort in addressing the issues we found affecting
FreeBSD/amd64.
To revert to using ld.bfd as the bootstrap linker, in /etc/src.conf set
WITHOUT_LLD_BOOTSTRAP=yes
If you need to set this, please follow up with a PR or post to the
freebsd-toolchain mailing list explaining how default WITH_LLD_BOOTSTRAP
failed for your use case.
Note that GNU ld.bfd is still installed as /usr/bin/ld, and will still
be used for linking ports. ld.lld can be installed as /usr/bin/ld by
setting in /etc/src.conf

This fixes object files landing in the source tree in gnu/usr.bin/dtc
for GCC platforms.
We cannot reliably detect if an external compiler is used here, and the
default YES option does include GCC_BOOTSTRAP which implies that GCC may
be used for the build.
The problem manifests when not using an external compiler, and the host
compiler is clang. When a fresh build is done (no OBJDIR yet) the
'make obj' treewalk is done before 'make cross-tools', so
COMPILER_FEATURES at this point contains 'c++11' since the host compiler
was used for COMPILER_FEATURES. Once cross-tools builds the GCC
bootstrap compiler and then descends into 'make everything',
COMPILER_FEATURES no longer contains 'c++11' and MK_GPL_DTC defaults to
enabled. Now it builds in gnu/usr.bin/dtc without an OBJDIR preset and
drops files into the source tree.
The COMPILER_FEATURES check here is useful for knowing if we can *bootstrap*
C++11 things. Indeed we do bootstrap dtc as a build tool so it is
useful for enabling the BSD dtc for the build, but we end up needing the
GPL dtc for installation anyway.

== Rationale ==
r295380 introduced "make check" and consolidated means for running
test code in an attempt to simplify running tests. One could either
install files/libraries/programs and run "make check", or run "make check"
with an explicit CHECKDIR, e.g., `make check CHECKDIR=$(make -V.OBJDIR)``.
One criticism that was received is that "make check" should be run with
the intent of making dev->test->commit easier, which means that the target
audience's workflow should be developers. One developer pattern available
in other opensource projects is to run test code from a developer sandbox,
instead of installing to a system.
== Method ==
This approach is slightly different from the standard approach, in the sense
that it builds and installs into a deterministic directory under .OBJDIR (as I call it,
the "sandbox"), then runs "make check" against that. In the event the test
run is successful, the deterministic directory is removed to save space.
== Approach ==
bsd.lib.mk, bsd.prog.mk:
To support this functionality, a new variable `HAS_TESTS` is being added.
HAS_TESTS enables appropriate behavior with bsd.lib.mk and bsd.prog.mk, as
follows:
- Add "make check" as an available target from the directory.
- Pass down appropriate variables via ${TESTS_ENV}, i.e.,
${TESTS_LD_LIBRARY_PATH} and ${TESTS_PATH}.
One should add "HAS_TESTS" to directories containing tests in them, e.g. from
bin/sh/Makefile,
HAS_TESTS=
SUBDIR.${MK_TESTS}+= tests
HAS_TESTS doesn't automatically add the tests subdirectory for flexibility
reasons.
bsd.opts.mk, src.opts.mk:
- The knob ${MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX} has been added, both to explicitly
direct (internally) when to set a deterministic ${DESTDIR} and to also allow
users to disable this behavior globally, i.e., via src.conf.
- MK_TESTS has been promoted from src.opts.mk to bsd.opts.mk to leverage
syntactic sugar for having MK_TESTS be a dependency for
MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX, but to also ensure that src.opts.mk isn't required
to use suite.test.mk (which is a dependency of bsd.test.mk).
suite.test.mk:
- beforecheck behavior (when MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX is enabled) is modified
from a no-op to:
-- Build.
-- Run "make hierarchy" on the sandbox dir.
-- Install the tests/files to the sandbox dir.
- aftercheck behavior (when MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX is enabled) is modified
from a no-op to:
-- Remove the sandbox dir.
Again, because the dependency order set in bsd.test.mk is
beforecheck -> check -> aftercheck, "make check" will not be run unless
"beforecheck" completes successfully, and "aftercheck" will not be run unless
"beforecheck" and "check" complete successfully.
== Caveats ==
- This target must either be run with MK_INSTALL_AS_USER or as root. Otherwise
it will fail when running "make install" as the default user/group for many
makefiles when calling INSTALL is root/wheel.
- This target must be run from a suitable top-level directory. For example,
running tests from `tests/sys/fs/tmpfs` won't work, but `tests/sys/fs` will,
because `tests/sys/fs/tmpfs` relies on files installed by `tests/sys/fs`.
- Running MK_INSTALL_AS_USER may introduce determinism issues. However, using
it could identify deficiences in tests in terms of needing to be run as
root, which are not properly articulated in the test requirements.
- The doesn't negate the need for running "make installworld" and
"make checkworld", etc. Again, this just is intended to simplify the
dev->test->commit workflow.
== Cleanup done ==
- CHECKDIR is removed; one can use "MK_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX=no" to enable
"legacy" (r295380) behavior.

- 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

- regex(3)'s performance with literal expressions offers a speed

- regex(3)'s performance, both with simple BREs and EREs, seems to be
comparable
The regex implementation was imported in r226035, and the commit message

This is a temporary solution until the whole regex library is
