CC'ing asomers@ and ngie@, because ISTR they have some googletest stock.
Testing my libregex GNU extensions revealed that I'm really not ready
to commit that just yet. We have two options here for googletest:
1. Disable it and create a PR to be fixed when my changes are done,
hopefully by the end of the week, or
2. Fix the expressions in
contrib/googletest/googletest/test/googletest-port-test.cc to be POSIX
compliant and upstream that.
#2 is generally a replacement of \w -> [[:alnum:]] and \W ->
[^[:alnum:]] and maybe \s -> [[:space:]].
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Kyle Evans
