>Environment:
Red Hat 8.0  with the glibc library
>Description:
1.Line 131 of the regexp.h file within glibc 
has expbuf trying to be converted to an unsigned
character pointer from  *__restrict pointer without an
explicit modifier/cast.
2. The macro calls from line 181 to 193 are RETURN calls.
I believe that they should be ERROR calls.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
1. On line 131 of regexp.h, the expbuf should be cast to an
 unsigned character pointer.

2. I think that line 181 to 193 should have ERROR calls and
not RETURN calls. I'm not positive.
