Hello! Over the next week or so, I plan to address inconsistencies in regex(3) handling of invalid bounds/atom constructs [1] between BREs and EREs, and found grot [2]. This appears to have once upon a time been the vehicle for regression testing of regex(3), but seems to have been replaced by the netbsd test suite (see: [3]). Does grot still serve a purpose, or can it go away? All of its tests seem to have been split out into individual tests grouped by functionality in the netbsd-tests suite [4], which is a model that seems ideal. On top of that, I'm not smart enough to actually build any of the targets in its Makefile and I don't feel a compelling urge to make it work on its own. Thanks, Kyle Evans [1] https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166861 [2] https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libc/regex/grot/ [3] https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libc/tests/regex/Makefile?view=markup [4] https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/contrib/netbsd-tests/lib/libc/regex/data/
