plan for 1.0 beta/stable channel? about regex HOT 5 CLOSED

How are we going to manage that in this repository?

Having a dev-dependency on regex_macros only kicks in during development, so publication to crates.io for regex should work fine on and off nightly. It just means that if you use regex_macros with stable rust you'll get some compile errors.

Is it possible for them to cohabitate?

I think the implication is that this repository must be developed with nightly, but that's not necessarily the end of the world!

Methinks this has to be removed or changed, because teasing users with such an awesome feature is going to make them mad. :-)

I'd be fine with this!

Of third concern is the programming shootout.

Oh I meant to do this, I'd be fine moving the shootout benchmark into this repo under benches

N.B. @erickt is working on rust-syntex, which I think ought to support use of the regex! macro

That'd be pretty sweet to get the compile time optimizations on stable rust so quickly!

I'm definitely OK with this, but how do we test the regex crate on Rust 1.0 stable? i.e., Because of the dev-dependency on regex_macros, cargo test on Rust 1.0 stable should fail I think.

Oh, and I'll bring the shootout benchmark back into this repo tonight. :-) Happy to see it live on!

To test regex on stable we would probably want to move all the regex! tests into the regex_macros crate so testing the regex crate would only test Regex::new and testing regex_macros would test regex!

I think all of the issues listed here have been fixed in 2d0e77a.
