1  ChangeLog for PCRE  ChangeLog for PCRE
2  ------------------  ------------------
3    
4  Version 8.31  Version 8.32
5  -----------------------------  ------------
6    
7    1.  Improved JIT compiler optimizations for first character search and single
8        character iterators.
9    
10    2.  Supporting IBM XL C compilers for PPC architectures in the JIT compiler.
11        Patch by Daniel Richard G.
12    
13    3.  Single character iterator optimizations in the JIT compiler.
14    
15    4.  Improved JIT compiler optimizations for character ranges.
16    
17    5.  Rename the "leave" variable names to "quit" to improve WinCE compatibility.
18        Reported by Giuseppe D'Angelo.
19    
20    6.  The PCRE_STARTLINE bit, indicating that a match can occur only at the start
21        of a line, was being set incorrectly in cases where .* appeared inside
22        atomic brackets at the start of a pattern, or where there was a subsequent
23        *PRUNE or *SKIP.
24    
25    7.  Improved instruction cache flush for POWER/PowerPC.
26        Patch by Daniel Richard G.
27    
28    8.  Fixed a number of issues in pcregrep, making it more compatible with GNU
29        grep:
30    
31        (a) There is now no limit to the number of patterns to be matched.
32    
33        (b) An error is given if a pattern is too long.
34    
35        (c) Multiple uses of --exclude, --exclude-dir, --include, and --include-dir
36            are now supported.
37    
38        (d) --exclude-from and --include-from (multiple use) have been added.
39    
40        (e) Exclusions and inclusions now apply to all files and directories, not
41            just to those obtained from scanning a directory recursively.
42    
43        (f) Multiple uses of -f and --file-list are now supported.
44    
45        (g) In a Windows environment, the default for -d has been changed from
46            "read" (the GNU grep default) to "skip", because otherwise the presence
47            of a directory in the file list provokes an error.
48    
49        (h) The documentation has been revised and clarified in places.
50    
51    9.  Improve the matching speed of capturing brackets.
52    
53    10. Changed the meaning of \X so that it now matches a Unicode extended
54        grapheme cluster.
55    
56    11. Patch by Daniel Richard G to the autoconf files to add a macro for sorting
57        out POSIX threads when JIT support is configured.
58    
59    12. Added support for PCRE_STUDY_EXTRA_NEEDED.
60    
61    13. In the POSIX wrapper regcomp() function, setting re_nsub field in the preg
62        structure could go wrong in environments where size_t is not the same size
63        as int.
64    
65    14. Applied user-supplied patch to pcrecpp.cc to allow PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK to be
66        set.
67    
68    15. The EBCDIC support had decayed; later updates to the code had included
69        explicit references to (e.g.) \x0a instead of CHAR_LF. There has been a
70        general tidy up of EBCDIC-related issues, and the documentation was also
71        not quite right. There is now a test that can be run on ASCII systems to
72        check some of the EBCDIC-related things (but is it not a full test).
73    
74    16. The new PCRE_STUDY_EXTRA_NEEDED option is now used by pcregrep, resulting
75        in a small tidy to the code.
76

193    
194    32. Put spaces around SLJIT_PRINT_D in the JIT compiler. Required by CXX11.
195    
196    33. Variable renamings in the PCRE-JIT compiler. No functionality change.
197    
198    34. Fixed typos in pcregrep: in two places there was SUPPORT_LIBZ2 instead of
199        SUPPORT_LIBBZ2. This caused a build problem when bzip2 but not gzip (zlib)
200        was enabled.
201    
202    35. Improve JIT code generation for greedy plus quantifier.
203    
204    36. When /((?:a?)*)*c/ or /((?>a?)*)*c/ was matched against "aac", it set group
205        1 to "aa" instead of to an empty string. The bug affected repeated groups
206        that could potentially match an empty string.
207    
208    37. Optimizing single character iterators in JIT.
209    
210    38. Wide characters specified with \uxxxx in JavaScript mode are now subject to
211        the same checks as \x{...} characters in non-JavaScript mode. Specifically,
212        codepoints that are too big for the mode are faulted, and in a UTF mode,
213        disallowed codepoints are also faulted.
214    
215    39. If PCRE was compiled with UTF support, in three places in the DFA
216        matcher there was code that should only have been obeyed in UTF mode, but
217        was being obeyed unconditionally. In 8-bit mode this could cause incorrect
218        processing when bytes with values greater than 127 were present. In 16-bit
219        mode the bug would be provoked by values in the range 0xfc00 to 0xdc00. In
220        both cases the values are those that cannot be the first data item in a UTF
221        character. The three items that might have provoked this were recursions,
222        possessively repeated groups, and atomic groups.
223    
224    40. Ensure that libpcre is explicitly listed in the link commands for pcretest
225        and pcregrep, because some OS require shared objects to be explicitly
226        passed to ld, causing the link step to fail if they are not.
227    
228    41. There were two incorrect #ifdefs in pcre_study.c, meaning that, in 16-bit
229        mode, patterns that started with \h* or \R* might be incorrectly matched.
