For libc regcomp, this will be a nop. libregex will take this to mean that
it needs to turn off GNU extensions, effectively switching it back to the
POSIX-compliant libc implementation at runtime.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
As C1X is close to being released, there is no need to wrap around a
feature that is already part of C90. Most of these files already use
`const' in different placed as well.
1) Fix style issues in comments.
2) Properly namespaceify changes
3) Appropriate sectioning of changes
Not changed: parenthesis around macro rvalue. That would make the additions
inconsistent with the other entries there, merely a different style violation
rather than a clear and obvious improvement so I'm going to have to disagree
with the judges on that one. If someone wishes to adjust *all* the rvalues
to conform to fully parenthesized marco rule, that would be both consistent
and reasonable but that's beyond the scope of the changes I wish to make at
this time.
o Fix regoff_t typedef to not require <sys/types.h> as a prerequisite
(specifically use `__off_t' instead of `off_t').
o Add restrict type-qualifier to function prototypes.
# This appears to not break X11, but I'm having problems compiling the
# glide part of the server with or without this patch, so I can't tell
# for sure.
