terex/Makefile, branch master

allow raw (ASCII) matching via REG_RAW flag, so we no longer need a compile-time flag

2026-06-26T21:14:44+00:00

You no longer need to build two libraries just for supporting raw/ASCII and UTF-8
patterns.
This makes using the library a lot easier and reduces the total binary size.
Since strings are always `unsigned char *` now internally and the raw vs. UTF-8
decision is important only in a few select places, it would make no sense to
use meta-programming techniques.

The test suite has been extended and is now fixed for cases with embedded
non-printable characters.

renamed hsrex to terex

This will be the SciTECO regular expression engine and we have to fork
it permanently.

Unicode builds now expect UTF-8 strings

* They are built with `-DREGEX_UTF8` instead of `-DREGEX_WCHAR`.
  Functions are called reg_ucomp() and reg_uexec() instead for consistency.
  The library is now called libhsurex.so instead of libhswrex.so.
* The `chr` type is now always `unsigned char`.
  As a result many other uses of the `chr` type had to be changed to pchr
  (which is always large enough to hold a byte or wide character).
  Generally we try to keep code changes as small as possible since
  we may have to backport changes from the Tcl codebase or contribute
  patches to the Tcl project.
