In IEEE 1003.1-2008 [1] and earlier revisions, BRE/ERE grammar allows for any character to be escaped, but "ORD_CHAR preceded by an unescaped <backslash> character [gives undefined results]". Historically, we've interpreted an escaped ordinary character as the ordinary character itself. This becomes problematic when some extensions give special meanings to an otherwise ordinary character (e.g. GNU's \b, \s, \w), meaning we may have two different valid interpretations of the same sequence. To make this easier to deal with and given that the standard calls this undefined, we should throw an error (EESCAPE) if we run into this scenario to ease transition into a state where some escaped ordinaries are blessed with a special meaning -- it will either error out or have extended behavior, rather than have two entirely different versions of undefined behavior that leave the consumer of regex(3) guessing as to what behavior will be used or leaving them with false impressions. This change bumps the symbol version of regcomp to FBSD_1.6 and provides the old escape semantics for legacy applications, just in case one has an older application that would immediately turn into a pumpkin because of an extraneous escape that's embedded or otherwise critical to its operation. This is the final piece needed before enhancing libregex with GNU extensions and flipping the switch on bsdgrep.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
