From: Michael Fellinger Date: 2010-02-22T02:36:59+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:28282] [Feature #2759] Regexp /g and /G options Issue #2759 has been updated by Michael Fellinger. The Textmate maintainer couldn't care less, they use the Oniguruma C API directly, and the editor is not written in Ruby, so it's unlikely that they would want to fix something that's not broken. I'm the user manveru on github, so you just reported this to me, but as I said before, I cannot modify the regular expression without changing its semantics and match offsets. I'm simply trying to combine the comfort of writing the editor in Ruby and using the existing functionality of Oniguruma to take advantage of hundreds of already existing syntax highlighting definitions that exist for Textmate. Someone just informed me that, after the patch from Kosako was rejected, Kosako stopped his work on Ruby altogether. His last comment was http://d.hatena.ne.jp/kkos/20070525#1180100250 and matz answered with http://www.rubyist.net/~matz/20070525.html I still don't understand the reasons to fork Oniguruma, why would a fork provide less features than the original? I'll get started on writing FFI::Oniguruma now, you may flag this issue as rejected. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2759 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
