https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308698 User matz@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308698#c36 --- Comment #36 from Michael Matz <matz@novell.com> 2008-11-07 05:29:27 MST --- No, pcregrep (or grep -P) is no option, as the regular expression syntax is that of perl, not of grep. Yes, pcre is faster with UTF-8, it always was, but that's irrelevant. Re comment #33: we have this conversation because grep of course _does_ support UTF-8 inputs just fine (as some other multi-byte locales). It is only slow. And yes, grep does implement some specialized versions of the matcher for these locales. No need for any reimplementation from scratch. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
