#191 masks applied to full path and libpcre2 as alternative regex method
Quoting Vasiliy Ivanov
- As proposed, invent an new option to matching absolute paths against mask
- Use another (switchable) regex engine (as an option for current POSIX). I believe that using
libpcre2 is a best candidate for it. Maybe it should be done as configurable build-time option (like
lzo support) plus runtime option like alter=posix-re|pcre2-re, which implies absolute paths matching.
well this is extra works for little change (almost same feature) with only one user requesting it...
