I need to match lines using g// (not v//); those lines having

I think I need to use \&
^.*foo\&^XXX$
and then put, in place of XXX, the pattern that
matches anything not containing /)\s*;/. How do I express it in vim.

I'd write \([^)]\|)\S\|)\s*[^;]\) failing other things.
May I suggest that you try LogiPat out:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1290
or at
http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#VimFuncs
(see "LogiPat")
(as always, my website has the most up-to-date version)
In this case, :echo LogiPat('"foo" & !")\s*;') yields
\%(.*foo.*\&^\%(\%()\s*;\)[EMAIL PROTECTED])*$\)
