regex.3: SYNOPSIS: Use 'restrict' in prototypes
Both POSIX and glibc use 'restrict' in regcomp(), regexec(), regerror(). Let's use it here too. .../glibc$ grep_glibc_prototype regcomp posix/regex.h:644: extern int regcomp (regex_t *_Restrict_ __preg, const char *_Restrict_ __pattern, int __cflags); .../glibc$ grep_glibc_prototype regexec posix/regex.h:648: extern int regexec (const regex_t *_Restrict_ __preg, const char *_Restrict_ __String, size_t __nmatch, regmatch_t __pmatch[_Restrict_arr_], int __eflags); .../glibc$ grep_glibc_prototype regerror posix/regex.h:653: extern size_t regerror (int __errcode, const regex_t *_Restrict_ __preg, char *_Restrict_ __errbuf, size_t __errbuf_size); .../glibc$ Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
