Support non-ASCII correctly in character classes, test this. src/ChangeLog addition: 2012-04-21 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Support non-ASCII correctly in character classes ([:alnum:] and friends). * regex.c: * regex.c (ISBLANK, ISUNIBYTE): New. Make these and friends independent of the locale, since we want them to be consistent in XEmacs. * regex.c (print_partial_compiled_pattern): Print the flags for charset_mule; don't print non-ASCII as the character values in ranges, this breaks with locales. * regex.c (enum): Define various flags the charset_mule and charset_mule_not opcodes can now take. * regex.c (CHAR_CLASS_MAX_LENGTH): Update this. * regex.c (re_iswctype, re_wctype): New, from GNU. * regex.c (re_wctype_can_match_non_ascii): New; used when deciding on whether to use charset_mule or the ASCII-only regex character set opcode. * regex.c (regex_compile): Error correctly on long, non-existent character class names. Break out the handling of charsets that can match non-ASCII into a separate clause. Use compile_char_class when compiling character classes. * regex.c (compile_char_class): New. Used in regex_compile when compiling character sets that may match non-ASCII. * regex.c (re_compile_fastmap): If there are flags set for charset_mule or charset_mule_not, we can't use the fastmap (since we need to check syntax table values that aren't available there). * regex.c (re_match_2_internal): Check the new flags passed to the charset_mule{,_not} opcode, observe them if appropriate. * regex.h: * regex.h (enum): Expose re_wctype_t here, imported from GNU. tests/ChangeLog addition: 2012-04-21 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * automated/regexp-tests.el: * automated/regexp-tests.el (Assert-char-class): Check that #'string-match errors correctly with an over-long character class name. Add tests for character class functionality that supports non-ASCII characters. These tests expose bugs in GNU Emacs 24.0.94.2, but pass under current XEmacs.

The files in this directory contain source code for the core XEmacs
facilities written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Elisp source, and
*.elc files are byte-compiled versions of the corresponding *.el
files.  Byte-compiled files are architecture-independent.

Functions used only by files in this directory are considered
"internal" and are subject to change at any time.  All commands, and
most functions with docstrings, are part of the exported API.  In
particular, it is considered good style to use the Common Lisp
facilities provided in cl*.el.  (Yes, that's ambiguous.  Sorry, we
don't have a full specification of the API, as the Lispref is
chronically incomplete.  Anything described in the Lispref is part of
the API, of course.)

Libraries which implement applications and enhancements are placed in
the "packages", which are distributed separately from the core
sources.

#### Someone please update this.
#### Partially updated 2001-08-25 by sjt.  Needs more work.  Mike?

When XEmacs starts up, it adds certain directories in various
hierarchies containing Lisp libraries to `load-path' (the list of
directories to be searched when loading files).  These are: this
directory, its subdirectory ./mule (in Mule-enabled XEmacs only), the
site-lisp directory (deprecated), and all the lisp/PACKAGE
subdirectories of the xemacs-packages, mule-packages, and
site-packages hierarchies.  See setup-paths.el.

#### Is the following true or relevant any more?
bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to
bogus> the default load-path.

Some files which you might reasonably want to alter when installing or
customizing XEmacs at your site are:

	paths.el	You may need to change the default pathnames here,
			but probably not.  This is loaded before XEmacs is
			dumped.

	site-init.el	#### obsolete and removed?
			To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump
			them in the executable, load them from this file.
			Read the instructions in this file for a description
			of how to do this.

	site-load.el	#### description is obsolete
			This is like site-init.el, but if you want the 
			docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in
			the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should
			load them from this file instead.  To do this, you must
			also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is
			generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and
			rerunning configure.
			#### new semantics
			This file will preload additional libraries listed in
			../site-packages and dump them into XEmacs.

	../site-packages  List of additional libraries read by site-load.el.

	site-start.el	This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the
			user's .emacs file.  (Sysadmin must create.)  Can be
			inhibited for a given invocation with `--no-site-file'.

	default.el	This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the
			user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable
			inhibit-default-init to t.  (Sysadmin must create.)
			Can be inhibited for a given invocation with `-q'.

	version.el	This contains the version information for XEmacs.

bogus> site-lisp directory see the NEWS file.

bogus> After XEmacs adds all subdirectories of the site-lisp
bogus> directory, it adds all subdirectories of this directory to the
bogus> load-path (the list of directories to be searched when loading
bogus> files.)  To speed up this process, this directory has been
bogus> rearranged to have very few files at the top-level, so that
bogus> emacs doesn't have to stat() several hundred files to find the
bogus> dozen or so which are actually subdirectories.

bogus> Directories whose names begin with "-" or "." are not added to
bogus> the default load-path.

The only files which remain at top-level are those which you might
reasonably want to alter when installing or customizing XEmacs at your
site.  The files which may appear at top level are:

	paths.el	You may need to change the default pathnames here,
			but probably not.  This is loaded before XEmacs is
			dumped.

	site-init.el	To pre-load additional libraries into XEmacs and dump
			them in the executable, load them from this file.
			Read the instructions in this file for a description
			of how to do this.

	site-load.el	This is like site-init.el, but if you want the 
			docstrings of your preloaded libraries to be kept in
			the DOC file instead of in the executable, you should
			load them from this file instead.  To do this, you must
			also cause them to be scanned when the DOC file is
			generated by editing ../src/Makefile.in.in and
			rerunning configure.

	site-start.el	This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, before the
			user's .emacs file.

	default.el	This is loaded each time XEmacs starts up, after the
			user's .emacs file, unless .emacs sets the variable
			inhibit-default-init to t.

	version.el	This contains the version information for XEmacs.
