#666: pmatch: regular expression subexpression references
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------

Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: varnishd | Version: trunk
Severity: normal | Keywords: pmatch, match, subexpression, back reference

Comment(by slink):
Results of today's IRC bugwash:
* phk will want to close this bug and put it onto the shopping list as a
feature request
* I've been asked to re-implement this feature as a VMOD
** this will limit the syntax for match backreferences to something like
re.backref(n)
** this will also imply that another match function will exist
** I am not sure how to best do RE compilation, but we'll see
* phk has clarified that data referred to by a const char * can not even
be assumed to continue to exist within the same vcl procedure, so we need
to copy...
