The manual page would be a good +place to start, but Info documents are also supposed to contain a +tutorial and examples. + +Fix the DFA matcher to never use exponential space. (Fortunately, these +cases are rare.) + +Improve the performance of the regex backtracking matcher. This matcher +is agonizingly slow, and is responsible for grep sometimes being slower +than Unix grep when backreferences are used. + +Provide support for the Posix [= =] and [. .] constructs. This is +difficult because it requires locale-dependent details of the character +set and collating sequence, but Posix does not standardize any method +for accessing this information! |
