[Bug regex/5945] regoff_t wrong has posix type


------- Additional Comments From bonzini at gnu dot org  2010-09-09 15:44 -------
On bug-gnulib, the following suggestion was made by Bruno Haible:

> [glibc could] offer some preprocessor macro that makes regoff_t 64-bit wide -
> like it was done for off_t.
> 
> Would glibc need to export additional symbols for this? Yes.
> 
> Would a compiled glibc need to contain two copies of the regex code? No, the
> 32-bit version could be a thin wrapper around the 64-bit version.

I guess this would count as "somebody takes this serious to actually take a stab
at a solution".  Would _REGEX_OFFSET_BITS be okay for you as a macro?
