|
1. Fixing a wrong JIT test case and some compiler warnings. |
| 8 |
|
|
| 9 |
|
2. Removed a bashism from the RunTest script. |
| 10 |
|
|
| 11 |
|
3. Add a cast to pcre_exec.c to fix the warning "unary minus operator applied |
| 12 |
|
to unsigned type, result still unsigned" that was given by an MS compiler |
| 13 |
|
on encountering the code "-sizeof(xxx)". |
| 14 |
|
|
| 15 |
|
4. Partial matching support is added to the JIT compiler. |
| 16 |
|
|
| 17 |
|
5. Fixed several bugs concerned with partial matching of items that consist |
| 18 |
|
of more than one character: |
| 19 |
|
|
| 20 |
|
(a) /^(..)\1/ did not partially match "aba" because checking references was |
| 21 |
|
done on an "all or nothing" basis. This also applied to repeated |
| 22 |
|
references. |
| 23 |
|
|
| 24 |
|
(b) \R did not give a hard partial match if \r was found at the end of the |
| 25 |
|
subject. |
| 26 |
|
|
| 27 |
|
(c) \X did not give a hard partial match after matching one or more |
| 28 |
|
characters at the end of the subject. |
| 29 |
|
|
| 30 |
|
(d) When newline was set to CRLF, a pattern such as /a$/ did not give a |
| 31 |
|
partial match for the string "\r". |
| 32 |

2. Fixed a bug in fixed-length calculation for lookbehinds that would show up |
| 41 |
|
only in quite long subpatterns. |
| 42 |
|
|
| 43 |
|
3. Removed the function pcre_info(), which has been obsolete and deprecated |
| 44 |
|
since it was replaced by pcre_fullinfo() in February 2000. |
| 45 |
|
|
| 46 |
|
4. For a non-anchored pattern, if (*SKIP) was given with a name that did not |
| 47 |
|
match a (*MARK), and the match failed at the start of the subject, a |
| 48 |
|
reference to memory before the start of the subject could occur. This bug |
| 49 |
|
was introduced by fix 17 of release 8.21. |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
|
5. A reference to an unset group with zero minimum repetition was giving |
| 52 |
|
totally wrong answers (in non-JavaScript-compatibility mode). For example, |
| 53 |
|
/(another)?(\1?)test/ matched against "hello world test". This bug was |
| 54 |
|
introduced in release 8.13. |
| 55 |
|
|
| 56 |
|
6. Add support for 16-bit character strings (a large amount of work involving |
| 57 |
|
many changes and refactorings). |
| 58 |
|
|
| 59 |
|
7. RunGrepTest failed on msys because \r\n was replaced by whitespace when the |
| 60 |
|
command "pattern=`printf 'xxx\r\njkl'`" was run. The pattern is now taken |
| 61 |
|
from a file. |
| 62 |
|
|
| 63 |
|
8. Ovector size of 2 is also supported by JIT based pcre_exec (the ovector size |
| 64 |
|
rounding is not applied in this particular case). |
| 65 |
|
|
| 66 |
|
9. The invalid Unicode surrogate codepoints U+D800 to U+DFFF are now rejected |
| 67 |
|
if they appear, or are escaped, in patterns. |
| 68 |
|
|
| 69 |
|
10. Get rid of a number of -Wunused-but-set-variable warnings. |
| 70 |
|
|
| 71 |
|
11. The pattern /(?=(*:x))(q|)/ matches an empty string, and returns the mark |
| 72 |
|
"x". The similar pattern /(?=(*:x))((*:y)q|)/ did not return a mark at all. |
| 73 |
|
Oddly, Perl behaves the same way. PCRE has been fixed so that this pattern |
| 74 |
|
also returns the mark "x". This bug applied to capturing parentheses, |
| 75 |
|
non-capturing parentheses, and atomic parentheses. It also applied to some |
| 76 |
assertions. |
assertions. |
| 77 |
|
|
| 78 |
|
12. Stephen Kelly's patch to CMakeLists.txt allows it to parse the version |
| 79 |
|
information out of configure.ac instead of relying on pcre.h.generic, which |
| 80 |
|
is not stored in the repository. |
| 81 |
|
|
| 82 |
|
13. Applied Dmitry V. Levin's patch for a more portable method for linking with |
| 83 |
|
-lreadline. |
| 84 |
|
|
| 85 |
|
14. ZH added PCRE_CONFIG_JITTARGET; added its output to pcretest -C. |
| 86 |
|
|
| 87 |
|
15. Applied Graycode's patch to put the top-level frame on the stack rather |
| 88 |
|
than the heap when not using the stack for recursion. This gives a |
| 89 |
|
performance improvement in many cases when recursion is not deep. |
| 90 |
|
|
| 91 |
|
16. Experimental code added to "pcretest -C" to output the stack frame size. |
| 92 |
