42. Updated configure.ac to put in more quoting round AC_LANG_PROGRAM etc. so |
| 217 |
|
as not to get warnings when autogen.sh is called. Also changed |
| 218 |
|
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL (deprecated) to LT_INIT (the current macro). |

43. To help people who use pcregrep to scan files containing exceedingly long |
| 221 |
|
lines, the following changes have been made: |
| 222 |
|
|
| 223 |
|
(a) The default value of the buffer size parameter has been increased from |
| 224 |
|
8K to 20K. (A buffer three times this size is actually used.) |
| 225 |
|
|
| 226 |
|
(b) The default can be changed by ./configure --with-pcregrep-bufsiz when |
| 227 |
|
PCRE is built. |
| 228 |
|
|
| 229 |
|
(c) A --buffer-size=n option has been added to pcregrep, to allow the size |
| 230 |
|
to be set at run time. |
| 231 |
|
|
| 232 |
|
(d) Numerical values in pcregrep options can be followed by K or M, for |
| 233 |
|
example --buffer-size=50K. |
| 234 |
|
|
| 235 |
|
(e) If a line being scanned overflows pcregrep's buffer, an error is now |
| 236 |
|
given and the return code is set to 2. |
