Subject: ensure that the regexp [b-a] is diagnosed as invalid
X-Git-Tag: v0.1~4641
X-Git-Url: http://erislabs.net/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=18f8ae4bbed4d919e564fe54b94feb6bce2c4c8f;p=gnulib.git

ensure that the regexp [b-a] is diagnosed as invalid

* m4/regex.m4 (gl_REGEX): Ensure that re_compiler_pattern
diagnoses [b-a] as invalid when using RE_SYNTAX_POSIX_EGREP.
Currently, glibc-2.11.90-10 fails to do that.
