Version 2.02 14-Jan-99 |
| 6 |
|
---------------------- |
| 7 |
|
|
| 8 |
|
1. Initialized the working variables associated with each extraction so that |
| 9 |
|
their saving and restoring doesn't refer to uninitialized store. |
| 10 |
|
|
| 11 |
|
2. Put dummy code into study.c in order to trick the optimizer of the IBM C |
| 12 |
|
compiler for OS/2 into generating correct code. Apparently IBM isn't going to |
| 13 |
|
fix the problem. |
| 14 |
|
|
| 15 |
|
3. Pcretest: the timing code wasn't using LOOPREPEAT for timing execution |
| 16 |
|
calls, and wasn't printing the correct value for compiling calls. Increased the |
| 17 |
|
default value of LOOPREPEAT, and the number of significant figures in the |
| 18 |
|
times. |
| 19 |
|
|
| 20 |
|
4. Changed "/bin/rm" in the Makefile to "-rm" so it works on Windows NT. |
| 21 |
|
|
| 22 |
|
5. Renamed "deftables" as "dftables" to get it down to 8 characters, to avoid |
| 23 |
|
a building problem on Windows NT with a FAT file system. |
| 24 |
|
|
| 25 |
|
|
| 26 |
|
Version 2.01 21-Oct-98 |
| 27 |
|
---------------------- |
| 28 |
|
|
| 29 |
|
1. Changed the API for pcre_compile() to allow for the provision of a pointer |
| 30 |
|
to character tables built by pcre_maketables() in the current locale. If NULL |
| 31 |
|
is passed, the default tables are used. |
| 32 |
|
|
| 33 |
|
|
| 34 |
|
Version 2.00 24-Sep-98 |
| 35 |
|
---------------------- |
| 36 |
|
|
| 37 |
|
1. Since the (>?) facility is in Perl 5.005, don't require PCRE_EXTRA to enable |
| 38 |
|
it any more. |
| 39 |
|
|
| 40 |
|
2. Allow quantification of (?>) groups, and make it work correctly. |
| 41 |
|
|
| 42 |
|
3. The first character computation wasn't working for (?>) groups. |
| 43 |
|
|
| 44 |
|
4. Correct the implementation of \Z (it is permitted to match on the \n at the |
| 45 |
|
end of the subject) and add 5.005's \z, which really does match only at the |
| 46 |
|
very end of the subject. |
| 47 |
|
|
| 48 |
|
5. Remove the \X "cut" facility; Perl doesn't have it, and (?> is neater. |
| 49 |
|
|
| 50 |
|
6. Remove the ability to specify CASELESS, MULTILINE, DOTALL, and |
| 51 |
|
DOLLAR_END_ONLY at runtime, to make it possible to implement the Perl 5.005 |
| 52 |
|
localized options. All options to pcre_study() were also removed. |
| 53 |
|
|
| 54 |
|
7. Add other new features from 5.005: |
| 55 |
|
|
| 56 |
|
$(?<= positive lookbehind |
| 57 |
|
$(?<! negative lookbehind |
| 58 |
|
(?imsx-imsx) added the unsetting capability |
| 59 |
|
such a setting is global if at outer level; local otherwise |
| 60 |
|
(?imsx-imsx:) non-capturing groups with option setting |
| 61 |
|
(?(cond)re|re) conditional pattern matching |
| 62 |
|
|
| 63 |
|
A backreference to itself in a repeated group matches the previous |
| 64 |
|
captured string. |
| 65 |
|
|
| 66 |
|
8. General tidying up of studying (both automatic and via "study") |
| 67 |
|
consequential on the addition of new assertions. |
| 68 |
|
|
| 69 |
|
9. As in 5.005, unlimited repeated groups that could match an empty substring |
| 70 |
|
are no longer faulted at compile time. Instead, the loop is forcibly broken at |
| 71 |
|
runtime if any iteration does actually match an empty substring. |
| 72 |
|
|
| 73 |
|
10. Include the RunTest script in the distribution. |
| 74 |
|
|
| 75 |
|
11. Added tests from the Perl 5.005_02 distribution. This showed up a few |
| 76 |
|
discrepancies, some of which were old and were also with respect to 5.004. They |
| 77 |
|
have now been fixed. |
| 78 |
|
|
| 79 |
|
|
| 80 |
|
Version 1.09 28-Apr-98 |
| 81 |
|
---------------------- |
| 82 |
|
|
| 83 |
|
1. A negated single character class followed by a quantifier with a minimum |
| 84 |
|
value of one (e.g. [^x]{1,6} ) was not compiled correctly. This could lead to |
| 85 |
|
program crashes, or just wrong answers. This did not apply to negated classes |
| 86 |
|
containing more than one character, or to minima other than one. |
| 87 |
|
|
| 88 |
|
|
| 89 |
|
Version 1.08 27-Mar-98 |
| 90 |
|
---------------------- |
| 91 |
|
|
| 92 |
|
1. Add PCRE_UNGREEDY to invert the greediness of quantifiers. |
| 93 |
|
|
| 94 |
|
2. Add (?U) and (?X) to set PCRE_UNGREEDY and PCRE_EXTRA respectively. The |
| 95 |
|
latter must appear before anything that relies on it in the pattern. |
| 96 |
|
|
| 97 |
|
|
| 98 |
|
Version 1.07 16-Feb-98 |
| 99 |
|
---------------------- |
| 100 |
|
|
| 101 |
|
1. A pattern such as /((a)*)*/ was not being diagnosed as in error (unlimited |
| 102 |
|
repeat of a potentially empty string). |
| 103 |
|
|
| 104 |
|
|
| 105 |
|
Version 1.06 23-Jan-98 |
| 106 |
|
---------------------- |
| 107 |
|
|
| 108 |
|
1. Added Markus Oberhumer's little patches for C++. |
| 109 |
|
|
| 110 |
|
2. Literal strings longer than 255 characters were broken. |
| 111 |
|
|
| 112 |
|
|
| 113 |
|
Version 1.05 23-Dec-97 |
| 114 |
|
---------------------- |
| 115 |
|
|
| 116 |
|
1. Negated character classes containing more than one character were failing if |
| 117 |
|
PCRE_CASELESS was set at run time. |
| 118 |
|
|
| 119 |
|
|
| 120 |
|
Version 1.04 19-Dec-97 |
| 121 |
|
---------------------- |
| 122 |
|
|
| 123 |
|
1. Corrected the man page, where some "const" qualifiers had been omitted. |
| 124 |
|
|
| 125 |
|
2. Made debugging output print "{0,xxx}" instead of just "{,xxx}" to agree with |
| 126 |
|
input syntax. |
| 127 |
|
|
| 128 |
|
3. Fixed memory leak which occurred when a regex with back references was |
| 129 |
|
matched with an offsets vector that wasn't big enough. The temporary memory |
| 130 |
|
that is used in this case wasn't being freed if the match failed. |
| 131 |
|
|
| 132 |
|
4. Tidied pcretest to ensure it frees memory that it gets. |
| 133 |
|
|
| 134 |
|
5. Temporary memory was being obtained in the case where the passed offsets |
| 135 |
|
vector was exactly big enough. |
| 136 |
|
|
| 137 |
|
6. Corrected definition of offsetof() from change 5 below. |
| 138 |
|
|
| 139 |
|
7. I had screwed up change 6 below and broken the rules for the use of |
| 140 |
|
setjmp(). Now fixed. |
| 141 |
|
|
| 142 |
|
|
| 143 |
|
Version 1.03 18-Dec-97 |
| 144 |
|
---------------------- |
| 145 |
|
|
| 146 |
|
1. A erroneous regex with a missing opening parenthesis was correctly |
| 147 |
|
diagnosed, but PCRE attempted to access brastack[-1], which could cause crashes |
| 148 |
|
on some systems. |
| 149 |
|
|
| 150 |
|
2. Replaced offsetof(real_pcre, code) by offsetof(real_pcre, code[0]) because |
| 151 |
|
it was reported that one broken compiler failed on the former because "code" is |
| 152 |
|
also an independent variable. |
| 153 |
|
|
| 154 |
|
3. The erroneous regex a[]b caused an array overrun reference. |
| 155 |
|
|
| 156 |
|
4. A regex ending with a one-character negative class (e.g. /[^k]$/) did not |
| 157 |
|
fail on data ending with that character. (It was going on too far, and checking |
| 158 |
|
the next character, typically a binary zero.) This was specific to the |
| 159 |
|
optimized code for single-character negative classes. |
| 160 |
|
|
| 161 |
|
5. Added a contributed patch from the TIN world which does the following: |
| 162 |
|
|
| 163 |
|
+ Add an undef for memmove, in case the the system defines a macro for it. |
| 164 |
|
|
| 165 |
|
+ Add a definition of offsetof(), in case there isn't one. (I don't know |
| 166 |
|
the reason behind this - offsetof() is part of the ANSI standard - but |
| 167 |
|
it does no harm). |
| 168 |
|
|
| 169 |
|
+ Reduce the ifdef's in pcre.c using macro DPRINTF, thereby eliminating |
| 170 |
|
most of the places where whitespace preceded '#'. I have given up and |
| 171 |
|
allowed the remaining 2 cases to be at the margin. |
| 172 |
|
|
| 173 |
|
+ Rename some variables in pcre to eliminate shadowing. This seems very |
| 174 |
|
pedantic, but does no harm, of course. |
| 175 |
|
|
| 176 |
|
6. Moved the call to setjmp() into its own function, to get rid of warnings |
| 177 |
|
from gcc -Wall, and avoided calling it at all unless PCRE_EXTRA is used. |
| 178 |
|
|
| 179 |
|
7. Constructs such as \d{8,} were compiling into the equivalent of |
| 180 |
|
\d{8}\d{0,65527} instead of \d{8}\d* which didn't make much difference to the |
| 181 |
|
outcome, but in this particular case used more store than had been allocated, |
| 182 |
|
which caused the bug to be discovered because it threw up an internal error. |
| 183 |
|
|
| 184 |
|
8. The debugging code in both pcre and pcretest for outputting the compiled |
| 185 |
|
form of a regex was going wrong in the case of back references followed by |
| 186 |
|
curly-bracketed repeats. |
| 187 |
|
|
| 188 |
|
|
| 189 |
|
Version 1.02 12-Dec-97 |
| 190 |
|
---------------------- |
| 191 |
|
|
| 192 |
|
1. Typos in pcre.3 and comments in the source fixed. |
| 193 |
|
|
| 194 |
|
2. Applied a contributed patch to get rid of places where it used to remove |
| 195 |
|
'const' from variables, and fixed some signed/unsigned and uninitialized |
| 196 |
|
variable warnings. |
| 197 |
|
|
| 198 |
|
3. Added the "runtest" target to Makefile. |
| 199 |
|
|
| 200 |
|
4. Set default compiler flag to -O2 rather than just -O. |
