            Bug ID: 18442
           Summary: re_syntax_options namespace
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: regex
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Use of regcomp (POSIX) brings in references to re_syntax_options (non-POSIX);
re_comp (UNIX98 and older legacy) actually uses re_syntax_options (not in those
standards) rather than just being in the same .o file.  (As this is a data
symbol that users can set directly, fixing this is harder than simply using an
implementation-namespace name with a weak alias as can be done for functions.)
