[users@httpd] problems with the regex library

[Shlomo Shamir <ss...@axismobile.com>]

hi,

i've written a library which uses POSIX's regex library. when testing it as a standalone it worked just fine, but when running it from within an apache2 module, it didn't work at all. (with the exact same input to these functions).
after digging around, i found out apache2 also implements the POSIX regex API (regcomp(), regexec(), etc.). for this, i have several questions in mind:

1) is there a significant difference between using POSIX's regex and Apache's? am i using it wrong? is some kind of initialization required for this library?
2) when loading the my libraries on Apache startup, how come the symbols of regex contained in my library doesn't clash with the symbols defined by Apache?

tx in advance
