I know ctags has a bundled GNU regex library but I think it only falls back to it when GNU regex isn't present in the system (the native windows msvc build I guess). But for Windows we use msys2 where I'd suspect it would be present and the Mac build uses jhbuild to build all typical linux dependencies so I think it's there too. So do we actually need to bundle GNU regex? --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
