newscache: Thread: NewsCache regular expression Patch

Hallo Konstantin,

i have tested your patch with NewsCache-1.1.90 and i think it is working.
Some minor details are unclear:

1) why you comment out the memset function call in util.c machgroup(...)?

2) Compiler Warning
c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../NVClasses-0.9.1    -Wall  -g -c
util.cc
util.cc: In function `int matchgroup(const char*, const char*)':
util.cc:78: warning: unused variable `size_t match_num'

3) In your first mail your example Configuration should be:
Server news.prov.net nntp {
>     Retries 3
>     Read .*,!porno,!adult,!sex,!^alt,!picture,!erotic
>     PostTo .*
>     GroupTimeout 150
.* instead of * (man 7 regex). Is this right?


I try to use instead of rules[15][255] the STL vector implementation with
the goal: eleminating the boundary limit. Second i try to implement your new
feature to the Read, Post, List access block in the client section.
Optionally with a sflag in the newscache.conf if the Thomas Gschwind or your
new regex matching algorithm should be used.

This could be take some time.

Hello Herbert,

I found core, and gdb say next

(gdb) where
#0  0x08057a44 in std::string* std::__uninitialized_copy_aux<__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<std::string const*, std::vector<std::string, std::allocator<std::string> > >, std::string*>(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<std::string const*, std::vector<std::string, std::allocator<std::string> > >, __gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<std::string const*, std::vector<std::string, std::allocator<std::string> > >, std::string*, __false_type) ()

#3  0x0804bfa2 in std::string::append(char const*, unsigned) ()

are u have any ideas?
