regex: __builtin_expect → __glibc_unlikely
[BZ#23744] This refactoring was prompted by a problem when the regex code is used as part of Gnulib and when the builder’s compiler does not grok __builtin_expect. Problem reported for Gawk by Nelson H.F. Beebe in: https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2018-09/msg00137.html Although this refactoring does not fix the problem directly, we might as well have Gawk use the now-preferred glibc style for when __builtin_expect is unavailable. * posix/regex_internal.h (BE): Remove. All uses replaced by __glibc_unlikely or __glibc_likely.
