[gnu.emacs] Faster regex.c?

jkh@pcsbst.UUCP (jkh) (05/31/89)

I'm using the re_search() code in regex.c to do interative matches
on sometimes *large* chunks of data. Everything considered, it generally
works pretty well, but I'm wondering if anyone has written a PD/shareware
version of this code that is faster. I need something that will match
an arbitrary regexp forwards or backwards, saving \(..\) field offsets
in a fixed number of registers (basically, complete re_search() functionality).

Anyone?
