Only use home-rolled prototypes on VMS when really necessary.

The prototypes removed here, while in some ways superior to those
provided in the system-supplied headers, in other ways conflict
with them.  The conflicts were masked in the default build by the
fact that the macros mapping lower case names to upper case were
undefined, so at compile time there were really two different
prototypes even though at link time the symbols were the same.

But the conflict broke the build when compiling with /NAMES=AS_IS
to preserve symbol name case.  Overall, whatever modest benefit
maintaining our own prototypes might provide, it's just not worth
the risk of conflict.  A better approach would be to define
__NEW_STARLET and work through whatever the compiler complains
about.

when disabling regex implicit check string we must reset anchored flag

It seems that if a regex check string is determined to be "not useful"
it is permananently disabled. However, it appears that when doing this
we dont necessarily reset any flags that are related to it.

Worse, the behaviour is not determinisitic, so it is quite possible that
a given program may experience this bug "randomly" based on what strings
it was matching. Thus it may be difficult to reproduce.

Resetting the RXc_ANCH_MBOL when we know that it is implicit
(PREGf_IMPLICIT) seems to fix /this/ particular example. But it wouldn't
surprise me to discover that other "random" bugs we encounter can be
traced back to this behaviour.

My proposed solution is to use the 'volatile' keyword to make sure the
compiler will really do the job.

Please note that it does not work with -O3, but the configure script
compile with -O2, so this should be fine.

At this time I've only tested the Configure scripts, which now detects
the align problem on ARM. I'm compiling the whole thing to check if the
md5 bug goes away!

I hope this will fix this *5 years* old bug, and the upstream bug as
well!

14 years agouc(): Handle Greek YPOGEGRAMMENI
Karl Williamson [Wed, 2 Jun 2010 21:07:29 +0000 (15:07 -0600)]
uc(): Handle Greek YPOGEGRAMMENI

Unicode contains two context-sensitive case-changing rules.  This patch
enables one of them, dealing with the Greek YPOGEGRAMMENI.  The code had
been #ifdef'd out, so the changes here are more than what the diff
shows.  The reason it was #ifdef'd out was because more research was
needed to verify that it was correct, which I have now done, and think
it is.

The issue is we may just be uppercasing a portion of the context, so
don't have complete knowledge of what should be done.  This patch causes
us to move the ypogegrammeni to as far right as it should go, or to the
end of the context we know about, whichever comes first.  That's the
best we can do.  If it really should be moved further to the right,
there's no way we can do it, because the user has not called uc()
with the full information needed.  So, in all cases, this is better than
just leaving it where it was in the input.  Also, the applicable context
is limited to a logical character, that matched by /\X/, so if the user
is calling uc() on a subset of a logical character, it really is their
mistake.
