BUGS
This is an alpha release with known defects. Please
report problems.
There is one known functionality bug. The implementation
of internationalization is incomplete: the locale is
always assumed to be the default one of 1003.2, and only
the collating elements etc. of that locale are available.
Paragraph 1 is questionable. There have been several commits in
/src/lib/libc/regex over the past 5 years. Why is it still alpha?
The bug listed in paragraph 2 above seems to have been fixed by ache
with several commits (from version 1.5 on) to regcomp.c
>How-To-Repeat:
echo _aeiou_äöüß_ | env LANG=de_DE.ISO_8859-1 sed 's/[^[:alpha:]]/=/g'
echo _aeiou_äöüß_ | env - sed 's/[^[:alpha:]]/=/g'
>Fix:
Correct bugs section of regex(3).
