But 'syntax-check' should be already using grep in the C locale (if not, that's a bug upstream in gnulib). > According to grep's info pages \s should be equivalent to [[:space:]], > but it is not, as the latter works alright: > > $ LANG=C grep -nE '\<(int|unsigned) ([^(]*)*(i|j|k)([[:space:]]|,|;)' > src/conf/interface_conf.h If we go this route, we could simplify even further: $ LANG=C grep -nE '\<(int|unsigned) ([^(] *)*[ijk][:space:],:]' src/conf/interface_conf.h > > So, I think the right fix would be to avoid \s altogether and use > [[:space:]] instead. The \s usage was good enough to work around the grep bug, which is all the more we need to get the build working on RHEL 5, so I'm not worried about further patches (unless upstream gnulib really does have a bug for not using C locale). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
