A bit of extraneous text had somehow crept into the pcregrep documentation. + +2. If --disable-static was given, the building process failed when trying to +build pcretest and pcregrep. (For some reason it was using libtool to compile +them, which is not right, as they aren't part of the library.) + + +Version 3.8 18-Dec-01 +--------------------- + +1. The experimental UTF-8 code was completely screwed up. It was packing the +bytes in the wrong order. How dumb can you get? + + +Version 3.7 29-Oct-01 +--------------------- + +1. In updating pcretest to check change 1 of version 3.6, I screwed up. +This caused pcretest, when used on the test data, to segfault. Unfortunately, +this didn't happen under Solaris 8, where I normally test things. + +2. The Makefile had to be changed to make it work on BSD systems, where 'make' +doesn't seem to recognize that ./xxx and xxx are the same file. (This entry +isn't in ChangeLog distributed with 3.7 because I forgot when I hastily made +this fix an hour or so after the initial 3.7 release.) + + +Version 3.6 23-Oct-01 +--------------------- + +1. Crashed with /(sens|respons)e and \1ibility/ and "sense and sensibility" if +offsets passed as NULL with zero offset count. + +2. The config.guess and config.sub files had not been updated when I moved to +the latest autoconf. + + +Version 3.5 15-Aug-01 +--------------------- + +1. Added some missing #if !defined NOPOSIX conditionals in pcretest.c that +had been forgotten. + +2. By using declared but undefined structures, we can avoid using "void" +definitions in pcre.h while keeping the internal definitions of the structures +private. + +3. The distribution is now built using autoconf 2.50 and libtool 1.4. From a +user point of view, this means that both static and shared libraries are built +by default, but this can be individually controlled. More of the work of +handling this static/shared cases is now inside libtool instead of PCRE's make +file. + +4. The pcretest utility is now installed along with pcregrep because it is +useful for users (to test regexs) and by doing this, it automatically gets +relinked by libtool. The documentation has been turned into a man page, so +there are now .1, .txt, and .html versions in /doc. + +5. Upgrades to pcregrep: + (i) Added long-form option names like gnu grep. + (ii) Added --help to list all options with an explanatory phrase. + (iii) Added -r, --recursive to recurse into sub-directories. + (iv) Added -f, --file to read patterns from a file. + +6. pcre_exec() was referring to its "code" argument before testing that +argument for NULL (and giving an error if it was NULL). + +7. Upgraded Makefile.in to allow for compiling in a different directory from +the source directory. + +8. Tiny buglet in pcretest: when pcre_fullinfo() was called to retrieve the +options bits, the pointer it was passed was to an int instead of to an unsigned +long int. This mattered only on 64-bit systems. + +9. Fixed typo (3.4/1) in pcre.h again. Sigh. I had changed pcre.h (which is +generated) instead of pcre.in, which it its source. Also made the same change +in several of the .c files. + +10. A new release of gcc defines printf() as a macro, which broke pcretest +because it had an ifdef in the middle of a string argument for printf(). Fixed +by using separate calls to printf(). + +11. Added --enable-newline-is-cr and --enable-newline-is-lf to the configure +script, to force use of CR or LF instead of \n in the source. On non-Unix +systems, the value can be set in config.h. + +12. The limit of 200 on non-capturing parentheses is a _nesting_ limit, not an +absolute limit. Changed the text of the error message to make this clear, and +likewise updated the man page. + +13. The limit of 99 on the number of capturing subpatterns has been removed. +The new limit is 65535, which I hope will not be a "real" limit. + + +Version 3.4 22-Aug-00 +--------------------- + +1. Fixed typo in pcre.h: unsigned const char * changed to const unsigned char *. + +2. Diagnose condition (?(0) as an error instead of crashing on matching. + + +Version 3.3 01-Aug-00 +--------------------- + +1. If an octal character was given, but the value was greater than \377, it +was not getting masked to the least significant bits, as documented. This could +lead to crashes in some systems. + +2. Perl 5.6 (if not earlier versions) accepts classes like [a-\d] and treats +the hyphen as a literal. PCRE used to give an error; it now behaves like Perl. + +3. Added the functions pcre_free_substring() and pcre_free_substring_list(). +These just pass their arguments on to (pcre_free)(), but they are provided +because some uses of PCRE bind it to non-C systems that can call its functions, +but cannot call free() or pcre_free() directly. + +4. Add "make test" as a synonym for "make check". Corrected some comments in +the Makefile. + +5. Add $(DESTDIR)/ in front of all the paths in the "install" target in the +Makefile. + +6. Changed the name of pgrep to pcregrep, because Solaris has introduced a +command called pgrep for grepping around the active processes. + +7. Added the beginnings of support for UTF-8 character strings. + +8. Arranged for the Makefile to pass over the settings of CC, CFLAGS, and +RANLIB to ./ltconfig so that they are used by libtool. I think these are all +the relevant ones. (AR is not passed because ./ltconfig does its own figuring +out for the ar command.) + + +Version 3.2 12-May-00 +--------------------- + +This is purely a bug fixing release. + +1. If the pattern /((Z)+|A)*/ was matched agained ZABCDEFG it matched Z instead +of ZA. This was just one example of several cases that could provoke this bug, +which was introduced by change 9 of version 2.00. The code for breaking +infinite loops after an iteration that matches an empty string was't working +correctly. + +2. The pcretest program was not imitating Perl correctly for the pattern /a*/g +when matched against abbab (for example). After matching an empty string, it +wasn't forcing anchoring when setting PCRE_NOTEMPTY for the next attempt; this +caused it to match further down the string than it should. + +3. The code contained an inclusion of sys/types.h. It isn't clear why this +was there because it doesn't seem to be needed, and it causes trouble on some +systems, as it is not a Standard C header. It has been removed. + +4. Made 4 silly changes to the source to avoid stupid compiler warnings that +were reported on the Macintosh. The changes were from + + while ((c = *(++ptr)) != 0 && c != '\n'); +to + while ((c = *(++ptr)) != 0 && c != '\n') ; + +Totally extraordinary, but if that's what it takes... + +5. PCRE is being used in one environment where neither memmove() nor bcopy() is +available. Added HAVE_BCOPY and an autoconf test for it; if neither +HAVE_MEMMOVE nor HAVE_BCOPY is set, use a built-in emulation function which +assumes the way PCRE uses memmove() (always moving upwards). + +6. PCRE is being used in one environment where strchr() is not available. There +was only one use in pcre.c, and writing it out to avoid strchr() probably gives +faster code anyway. + + +Version 3.2 12-May-00 +--------------------- + +This is purely a bug fixing release. + +1.

PCRE is being used in one environment where strchr() is not available. There +was only one use in pcre.c, and writing it out to avoid strchr() probably gives +faster code anyway. + + +Version 3.1 09-Feb-00 +--------------------- + +The only change in this release is the fixing of some bugs in Makefile.in for +the "install" target: + +(1) It was failing to install pcreposix.h. + +(2) It was overwriting the pcre.3 man page with the pcreposix.3 man page. + + +Version 3.0 01-Feb-00 +--------------------- + +1. Add support for the /+ modifier to perltest (to output $` like it does in +pcretest). + +2. Add support for the /g modifier to perltest. + +3. Fix pcretest so that it behaves even more like Perl for /g when the pattern +matches null strings. + +4. Fix perltest so that it doesn't do unwanted things when fed an empty +pattern. Perl treats empty patterns specially - it reuses the most recent +pattern, which is not what we want. Replace // by /(?#)/ in order to avoid this +effect. + +5. The POSIX interface was broken in that it was just handing over the POSIX +captured string vector to pcre_exec(), but (since release 2.00) PCRE has +required a bigger vector, with some working space on the end. This means that +the POSIX wrapper now has to get and free some memory, and copy the results. + +6. Added some simple autoconf support, placing the test data and the +documentation in separate directories, re-organizing some of the +information files, and making it build pcre-config (a GNU standard). Also added +libtool support for building PCRE as a shared library, which is now the +default. + +7. Got rid of the leading zero in the definition of PCRE_MINOR because 08 and +09 are not valid octal constants. Single digits will be used for minor values +less than 10. + +8. Defined REG_EXTENDED and REG_NOSUB as zero in the POSIX header, so that +existing programs that set these in the POSIX interface can use PCRE without +modification. + +9. Added a new function, pcre_fullinfo() with an extensible interface. It can +return all that pcre_info() returns, plus additional data. The pcre_info() +function is retained for compatibility, but is considered to be obsolete. + +10. Added experimental recursion feature (?R) to handle one common case that +Perl 5.6 will be able to do with (?p{...}). + +11. Added support for POSIX character classes like [:alpha:], which Perl is +adopting. + + +Version 2.08 31-Aug-99 +---------------------- + +1. When startoffset was not zero and the pattern began with ".*", PCRE was not +trying to match at the startoffset position, but instead was moving forward to +the next newline as if a previous match had failed. + +2. pcretest was not making use of PCRE_NOTEMPTY when repeating for /g and /G, +and could get into a loop if a null string was matched other than at the start +of the subject. + +3. Added definitions of PCRE_MAJOR and PCRE_MINOR to pcre.h so the version can +be distinguished at compile time, and for completeness also added PCRE_DATE. + +5. Added Paul Sokolovsky's minor changes to make it easy to compile a Win32 DLL +in GnuWin32 environments. + + +Version 2.07 29-Jul-99 +---------------------- + +1. The documentation is now supplied in plain text form and HTML as well as in +the form of man page sources. + +2. C++ compilers don't like assigning (void *) values to other pointer types. +In particular this affects malloc(). Although there is no problem in Standard +C, I've put in casts to keep C++ compilers happy. + +3. Typo on pcretest.c; a cast of (unsigned char *) in the POSIX regexec() call +should be (const char *). + +4. If NOPOSIX is defined, pcretest.c compiles without POSIX support. This may +be useful for non-Unix systems who don't want to bother with the POSIX stuff. +However, I haven't made this a standard facility. The documentation doesn't +mention it, and the Makefile doesn't support it. + +5. The Makefile now contains an "install" target, with editable destinations at +the top of the file. The pcretest program is not installed. + +6. pgrep -V now gives the PCRE version number and date. + +7. Fixed bug: a zero repetition after a literal string (e.g. /abcde{0}/) was +causing the entire string to be ignored, instead of just the last character. + +8. If a pattern like /"([^\\"]+|\\.)*"/ is applied in the normal way to a +non-matching string, it can take a very, very long time, even for strings of +quite modest length, because of the nested recursion. PCRE now does better in +some of these cases. It does this by remembering the last required literal +character in the pattern, and pre-searching the subject to ensure it is present +before running the real match. In other words, it applies a heuristic to detect +some types of certain failure quickly, and in the above example, if presented +with a string that has no trailing " it gives "no match" very quickly. + +9. A new runtime option PCRE_NOTEMPTY causes null string matches to be ignored; +other alternatives are tried instead. + + +Version 2.06 09-Jun-99 +---------------------- + +1. Change pcretest's output for amount of store used to show just the code +space, because the remainder (the data block) varies in size between 32-bit and +64-bit systems. + +2. Added an extra argument to pcre_exec() to supply an offset in the subject to +start matching at. This allows lookbehinds to work when searching for multiple +occurrences in a string. + +3. Added additional options to pcretest for testing multiple occurrences: + + /+ outputs the rest of the string that follows a match + /g loops for multiple occurrences, using the new startoffset argument + /G loops for multiple occurrences by passing an incremented pointer + +4. PCRE wasn't doing the "first character" optimization for patterns starting +with \b or \B, though it was doing it for other lookbehind assertions. That is, +it wasn't noticing that a match for a pattern such as /\bxyz/ has to start with +the letter 'x'. On long subject strings, this gives a significant speed-up. + + +Version 2.05 21-Apr-99 +---------------------- + +1. Changed the type of magic_number from int to long int so that it works +properly on 16-bit systems. + +2. Fixed a bug which caused patterns starting with .* not to work correctly +when the subject string contained newline characters. PCRE was assuming +anchoring for such patterns in all cases, which is not correct because .* will +not pass a newline unless PCRE_DOTALL is set. It now assumes anchoring only if +DOTALL is set at top level; otherwise it knows that patterns starting with .* +must be retried after every newline in the subject. + + +Version 2.04 18-Feb-99 +---------------------- + +1. For parenthesized subpatterns with repeats whose minimum was zero, the +computation of the store needed to hold the pattern was incorrect (too large). +If such patterns were nested a few deep, this could multiply and become a real +problem. + +2. Added /M option to pcretest to show the memory requirement of a specific +pattern. Made -m a synonym of -s (which does this globally) for compatibility. + +3. Subpatterns of the form (regex){n,m} (i.e. limited maximum) were being +compiled in such a way that the backtracking after subsequent failure was +pessimal. Something like (a){0,3} was compiled as (a)?(a)?(a)? instead of +((a)((a)(a)?)?)? with disastrous performance if the maximum was of any size. + + +Version 2.03 02-Feb-99 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed typo and small mistake in man page. + +2. Added 4th condition (GPL supersedes if conflict) and created separate +LICENCE file containing the conditions. + +3. Updated pcretest so that patterns such as /abc\/def/ work like they do in +Perl, that is the internal \ allows the delimiter to be included in the +pattern. Locked out the use of \ as a delimiter. If \ immediately follows +the final delimiter, add \ to the end of the pattern (to test the error). + +4. Added the convenience functions for extracting substrings after a successful +match. Updated pcretest to make it able to test these functions. + + +Version 2.02 14-Jan-99 +---------------------- + +1. Initialized the working variables associated with each extraction so that +their saving and restoring doesn't refer to uninitialized store. + +2. Put dummy code into study.c in order to trick the optimizer of the IBM C +compiler for OS/2 into generating correct code. Apparently IBM isn't going to +fix the problem. + +3. Pcretest: the timing code wasn't using LOOPREPEAT for timing execution +calls, and wasn't printing the correct value for compiling calls. Increased the +default value of LOOPREPEAT, and the number of significant figures in the +times. + +4. Changed "/bin/rm" in the Makefile to "-rm" so it works on Windows NT. + +5. Renamed "deftables" as "dftables" to get it down to 8 characters, to avoid +a building problem on Windows NT with a FAT file system. + + +Version 2.01 21-Oct-98 +---------------------- + +1. Changed the API for pcre_compile() to allow for the provision of a pointer +to character tables built by pcre_maketables() in the current locale. If NULL +is passed, the default tables are used. + + +Version 2.00 24-Sep-98 +---------------------- + +1. Since the (>?) facility is in Perl 5.005, don't require PCRE_EXTRA to enable +it any more. + +2. Allow quantification of (?>) groups, and make it work correctly. + +3. The first character computation wasn't working for (?>) groups. + +4. Correct the implementation of \Z (it is permitted to match on the \n at the +end of the subject) and add 5.005's \z, which really does match only at the +very end of the subject. + +5. Remove the \X "cut" facility; Perl doesn't have it, and (?> is neater. + +6. Remove the ability to specify CASELESS, MULTILINE, DOTALL, and +DOLLAR_END_ONLY at runtime, to make it possible to implement the Perl 5.005 +localized options. All options to pcre_study() were also removed. + +7. Add other new features from 5.005: + + $(?<= positive lookbehind + $(?<! negative lookbehind + (?imsx-imsx) added the unsetting capability + such a setting is global if at outer level; local otherwise + (?imsx-imsx:) non-capturing groups with option setting + (?(cond)re|re) conditional pattern matching + + A backreference to itself in a repeated group matches the previous + captured string. + +8. General tidying up of studying (both automatic and via "study") +consequential on the addition of new assertions. + +9. As in 5.005, unlimited repeated groups that could match an empty substring +are no longer faulted at compile time. Instead, the loop is forcibly broken at +runtime if any iteration does actually match an empty substring. + +10. Include the RunTest script in the distribution. + +11. Added tests from the Perl 5.005_02 distribution. This showed up a few +discrepancies, some of which were old and were also with respect to 5.004. They +have now been fixed. + + +Version 1.09 28-Apr-98 +---------------------- + +1. A negated single character class followed by a quantifier with a minimum +value of one (e.g. [^x]{1,6} ) was not compiled correctly. This could lead to +program crashes, or just wrong answers. This did not apply to negated classes +containing more than one character, or to minima other than one. + + +Version 1.08 27-Mar-98 +---------------------- + +1. Add PCRE_UNGREEDY to invert the greediness of quantifiers. + +2. Add (?U) and (?X) to set PCRE_UNGREEDY and PCRE_EXTRA respectively. The +latter must appear before anything that relies on it in the pattern. + + +Version 1.07 16-Feb-98 +---------------------- + +1. A pattern such as /((a)*)*/ was not being diagnosed as in error (unlimited +repeat of a potentially empty string). + + +Version 1.06 23-Jan-98 +---------------------- + +1. Added Markus Oberhumer's little patches for C++. + +2. Literal strings longer than 255 characters were broken. + + +Version 1.05 23-Dec-97 +---------------------- + +1. Negated character classes containing more than one character were failing if +PCRE_CASELESS was set at run time. + + +Version 1.04 19-Dec-97 +---------------------- + +1. Corrected the man page, where some "const" qualifiers had been omitted. + +2. Made debugging output print "{0,xxx}" instead of just "{,xxx}" to agree with +input syntax. + +3. Fixed memory leak which occurred when a regex with back references was +matched with an offsets vector that wasn't big enough. The temporary memory +that is used in this case wasn't being freed if the match failed. + +4. Tidied pcretest to ensure it frees memory that it gets. + +5. Temporary memory was being obtained in the case where the passed offsets +vector was exactly big enough. + +6. Corrected definition of offsetof() from change 5 below. + +7. I had screwed up change 6 below and broken the rules for the use of +setjmp(). Now fixed. + + +Version 1.03 18-Dec-97 +---------------------- + +1. A erroneous regex with a missing opening parenthesis was correctly +diagnosed, but PCRE attempted to access brastack[-1], which could cause crashes +on some systems. + +2. Replaced offsetof(real_pcre, code) by offsetof(real_pcre, code[0]) because +it was reported that one broken compiler failed on the former because "code" is +also an independent variable. + +3. The erroneous regex a[]b caused an array overrun reference. + +4. A regex ending with a one-character negative class (e.g. /[^k]$/) did not +fail on data ending with that character. (It was going on too far, and checking +the next character, typically a binary zero.) This was specific to the +optimized code for single-character negative classes. + +5. Added a contributed patch from the TIN world which does the following: + + + Add an undef for memmove, in case the the system defines a macro for it. + + + Add a definition of offsetof(), in case there isn't one. (I don't know + the reason behind this - offsetof() is part of the ANSI standard - but + it does no harm). + + + Reduce the ifdef's in pcre.c using macro DPRINTF, thereby eliminating + most of the places where whitespace preceded '#'. I have given up and + allowed the remaining 2 cases to be at the margin. + + + Rename some variables in pcre to eliminate shadowing. This seems very + pedantic, but does no harm, of course. + +6. Moved the call to setjmp() into its own function, to get rid of warnings +from gcc -Wall, and avoided calling it at all unless PCRE_EXTRA is used. + +7. Constructs such as \d{8,} were compiling into the equivalent of +\d{8}\d{0,65527} instead of \d{8}\d* which didn't make much difference to the +outcome, but in this particular case used more store than had been allocated, +which caused the bug to be discovered because it threw up an internal error. + +8. The debugging code in both pcre and pcretest for outputting the compiled +form of a regex was going wrong in the case of back references followed by +curly-bracketed repeats. + + +Version 1.02 12-Dec-97 +---------------------- + +1. Typos in pcre.3 and comments in the source fixed. + +2. Applied a contributed patch to get rid of places where it used to remove +'const' from variables, and fixed some signed/unsigned and uninitialized +variable warnings. + +3. Added the "runtest" target to Makefile. + +4. Set default compiler flag to -O2 rather than just -O. + + +Version 1.01 19-Nov-97 +---------------------- + +1. PCRE was failing to diagnose unlimited repeat of empty string for patterns +like /([ab]*)*/, that is, for classes with more than one character in them. + +2. Likewise, it wasn't diagnosing patterns with "once-only" subpatterns, such +as /((?>a*))*/ (a PCRE_EXTRA facility). + + +Version 1.00 18-Nov-97 +---------------------- + +1. Added compile-time macros to support systems such as SunOS4 which don't have +memmove() or strerror() but have other things that can be used instead. + +2. Arranged that "make clean" removes the executables. + + +Version 0.99 27-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed bug in code for optimizing classes with only one character. It was +initializing a 32-byte map regardless, which could cause it to run off the end +of the memory it had got. + +2. Added, conditional on PCRE_EXTRA, the proposed (?>REGEX) construction. + + +Version 0.98 22-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed bug in code for handling temporary memory usage when there are more +back references than supplied space in the ovector. This could cause segfaults. + + +Version 0.97 21-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Added the \X "cut" facility, conditional on PCRE_EXTRA. + +2. Optimized negated single characters not to use a bit map. + +3. Brought error texts together as macro definitions; clarified some of them; +fixed one that was wrong - it said "range out of order" when it meant "invalid +escape sequence". + +4. Changed some char * arguments to const char *. + +5. Added PCRE_NOTBOL and PCRE_NOTEOL (from POSIX). + +6. Added the POSIX-style API wrapper in pcreposix.a and testing facilities in +pcretest. + + +Version 0.96 16-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Added a simple "pgrep" utility to the distribution. + +2. Fixed an incompatibility with Perl: "{" is now treated as a normal character +unless it appears in one of the precise forms "{ddd}", "{ddd,}", or "{ddd,ddd}" +where "ddd" means "one or more decimal digits". + +3. Fixed serious bug. If a pattern had a back reference, but the call to +pcre_exec() didn't supply a large enough ovector to record the related +identifying subpattern, the match always failed. PCRE now remembers the number +of the largest back reference, and gets some temporary memory in which to save +the offsets during matching if necessary, in order to ensure that +backreferences always work. + +4. Increased the compatibility with Perl in a number of ways: + + (a) . no longer matches \n by default; an option PCRE_DOTALL is provided + to request this handling. The option can be set at compile or exec time. + + (b) $ matches before a terminating newline by default; an option + PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY is provided to override this (but not in multiline + mode). The option can be set at compile or exec time. + + (c) The handling of \ followed by a digit other than 0 is now supposed to be + the same as Perl's. If the decimal number it represents is less than 10 + or there aren't that many previous left capturing parentheses, an octal + escape is read. Inside a character class, it's always an octal escape, + even if it is a single digit. + + (d) An escaped but undefined alphabetic character is taken as a literal, + unless PCRE_EXTRA is set. Currently this just reserves the remaining + escapes. + + (e) {0} is now permitted. (The previous item is removed from the compiled + pattern). + +5. Changed all the names of code files so that the basic parts are no longer +than 10 characters, and abolished the teeny "globals.c" file. + +6. Changed the handling of character classes; they are now done with a 32-byte +bit map always. + +7. Added the -d and /D options to pcretest to make it possible to look at the +internals of compilation without having to recompile pcre. + + +Version 0.95 23-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed bug in pre-pass concerning escaped "normal" characters such as \x5c or +\x20 at the start of a run of normal characters. These were being treated as +real characters, instead of the source characters being re-checked. + + +Version 0.94 18-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. The functions are now thread-safe, with the caveat that the global variables +containing pointers to malloc() and free() or alternative functions are the +same for all threads. + +2. Get pcre_study() to generate a bitmap of initial characters for non- +anchored patterns when this is possible, and use it if passed to pcre_exec(). + + +Version 0.93 15-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. /(b)|(:+)/ was computing an incorrect first character. + +2. Add pcre_study() to the API and the passing of pcre_extra to pcre_exec(), +but not actually doing anything yet. + +3. Treat "-" characters in classes that cannot be part of ranges as literals, +as Perl does (e.g. [-az] or [az-]). + +4. Set the anchored flag if a branch starts with .* or .*? because that tests +all possible positions. + +5. Split up into different modules to avoid including unneeded functions in a +compiled binary. However, compile and exec are still in one module. The "study" +function is split off. + +6. The character tables are now in a separate module whose source is generated +by an auxiliary program - but can then be edited by hand if required. There are +now no calls to isalnum(), isspace(), isdigit(), isxdigit(), tolower() or +toupper() in the code. + +7. Turn the malloc/free funtions variables into pcre_malloc and pcre_free and +make them global. Abolish the function for setting them, as the caller can now +set them directly. + + +Version 0.92 11-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. A repeat with a fixed maximum and a minimum of 1 for an ordinary character +(e.g. /a{1,3}/) was broken (I mis-optimized it). + +2. Caseless matching was not working in character classes if the characters in +the pattern were in upper case. + +3. Make ranges like [W-c] work in the same way as Perl for caseless matching. + +4. Make PCRE_ANCHORED public and accept as a compile option. + +5. Add an options word to pcre_exec() and accept PCRE_ANCHORED and +PCRE_CASELESS at run time. Add escapes \A and \I to pcretest to cause it to +pass them. + +6. Give an error if bad option bits passed at compile or run time. + +7. Add PCRE_MULTILINE at compile and exec time, and (?m) as well. Add \M to +pcretest to cause it to pass that flag. + +8. Add pcre_info(), to get the number of identifying subpatterns, the stored +options, and the first character, if set. + +9. Recognize C+ or C{n,m} where n >= 1 as providing a fixed starting character. + + +Version 0.91 10-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. PCRE was failing to diagnose unlimited repeats of subpatterns that could +match the empty string as in /(a*)*/. It was looping and ultimately crashing. + +2. PCRE was looping on encountering an indefinitely repeated back reference to +a subpattern that had matched an empty string, e.g. /(a|)\1*/. It now does what +Perl does - treats the match as successful. + +**** |
