Re: [PATCH] Support regex in EXPECTED ERR list

On the whole I'm going to say that this patch is not the right
approach to doing what you want. Given the other email I sent I think
what you want to do is reasonable. But should be handled by adjusting
the is_regex path in ExpectedOutput to be able to handle lists of
regex.

You really don't want to mess with the existing 1:1 matching like
you've done here.

Looking for .* is not a valid way of determining if something is a
regex. If you want to match the first character then you'll end up
having to put a bogus .* in your pattern to deal with this.

If you look just below the code you changed you'll see:
expected_re = expected[0]

I'd look at that and adjust it.

Now the question is how. I can see two ways:

1) list of regular expressions, as long as one matches any single line
with match_all=False then it's good and if match_all=True then every
line must match at least one of the expressions.

2) An ordered list of regular expressions where one is consumed for each line.

The first way is easier to maintain consistency with the current
implementation. If you really want the second way then I'd suggest
subclassing RegexOutput with another class like say RegexListOutput,
add another flag to the implementation e.g. is_regex_list = True, and
create a 3rd code path in is_equivalent_list.
