------- Comment #7 from tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-02-08 18:54 -------
The regex changes are unlikely to cause big destabilization for 3 reasons:
* They are pure java
* The regex code has historically been somewhat broken, so we're unlikely
to make the situation worse
* They've been tested in classpath using mauve
I'll look at this a bit. I'm leaning toward including the changes in 4.1
because we've seen more than one application now with regexes that hit
libgcj bugs.
Andrew, I agree with your point in general. We should probably discuss it
in some forum other than a random regex bug report though :-)
