Re: [bug-gawk] [PATCH] gawk: use dfa matcher for regex with anchor

[arnold]

Hi. Thanks for this patch. I've applied it and pushed to the repo.

For future reference, when adding tests, besides including the files in
EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am, you need to list the test's name in one of
the macros that defines the categories of tests. I took care of that for
you for this test. :-)

Thanks for including a test case with your patch; that really helps improve
the test suite and I appreciate it.  I did verify that without the
DFA_ANCHOR flag the test doesn't pass.

And, thanks once more for caring about gawk in your work on dfa; I really
appreciate it.
