Hello, the attached are a patchset to introduce a special
matching expression which simplifies matching descriptions. The
result looks as if the comments in the previous implement run
as-is.
0001-Allow-regex-module-to-be-used-outside-server.patch
A small patch to allow pg_regex to be used outside backend. The same with the previous one.
0002-Simplify-the-usages-of-COMPLETE_WITH_QUERY.patch
This is also the same with the previous one.
0003-Replace-previous-matching-rule-with-regexps-take-2.patch
Modifies to use this matching minilang. No bare regular expression is seen for every matching. The difference from the
previousone is that sources for other than regcomp.o are no longer symlinked to psql's directory. Compiled regular
expressionsare cached until psql ends. The function patcomp is the central of the messy of this patchset.
This cannot be compiled on Windows, I think.
0004-Remove-less-informative-comments.patch
Remove comments that no longer has reason to be placed there.
0005-Merge-mergable-completions.patch
Merge some of the matchings that are simply mergable by using this minilang.
What do you think about this solution?
