Description: ------------ RE2C has a feature to match literal strings case-insensitively when using single quotes instead of double quotes. [quote] "foo" the literal string foo. ANSI-C escape sequences can be used. 'foo' the literal string foo (characters [a-zA-Z] treated case-insensitive). ANSI-C escape sequences can be used. [/quote] This is quite handy when making flexible languages, so I implemented a solution. (see patch) Essentially, it turns 'test' into the regexp '[Tt][Ee][Ss][Tt]'. Note: The patch file also contains the changes for a number of other bugs/features. ('Single line comments', 'Missing placeholder strings', 'Faster regexp matching with \G instead of substr()', 'Missing spaces in exception messages'). Splitting them would be quite a chore, but I can do that if needed.

For some reason I was not allowed to upload the patch file while it was named 'caseinsensitive.diff', instead I had to name if 'caseinsensitive.txt'.

Changes integrated with other work, update is now in CVS.
