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

178    
179    36. When /((?:a?)*)*c/ or /((?>a?)*)*c/ was matched against "aac", it set group
180        1 to "aa" instead of to an empty string. The bug affected repeated groups
181        that could potentially match an empty string.
182    
183    37. Optimizing single character iterators in JIT.
184    
185    38. Wide characters specified with \uxxxx in JavaScript mode are now subject to
186        the same checks as \x{...} characters in non-JavaScript mode. Specifically,
187        codepoints that are too big for the mode are faulted, and in a UTF mode,
188        disallowed codepoints are also faulted.
189    
190    39. If PCRE was compiled with UTF support, in three places in the DFA
191        matcher there was code that should only have been obeyed in UTF mode, but
192        was being obeyed unconditionally. In 8-bit mode this could cause incorrect
193        processing when bytes with values greater than 127 were present. In 16-bit
194        mode the bug would be provoked by values in the range 0xfc00 to 0xdc00. In
195        both cases the values are those that cannot be the first data item in a UTF
196        character. The three items that might have provoked this were recursions,
197        possessively repeated groups, and atomic groups.
198    
199    40. Ensure that libpcre is explicitly listed in the link commands for pcretest
200        and pcregrep, because some OS require shared objects to be explicitly
201        passed to ld, causing the link step to fail if they are not.
202    
203    41. There were two incorrect #ifdefs in pcre_study.c, meaning that, in 16-bit
204        mode, patterns that started with \h* or \R* might be incorrectly matched.
