|

|
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 recognize |
| 31 |
|
a partial match for the string "\r". |
| 32 |
|
|
| 33 |
|
(e) When newline was set to CRLF, the metacharacter "." did not recognize |
| 34 |
|
a partial match for a CR character at the end of the subject string. |
| 35 |
|
|
| 36 |
|
6. If JIT is requested using /S++ or -s++ (instead of just /S+ or -s+) when |
| 37 |
|
running pcretest, the text "(JIT)" added to the output whenever JIT is |
| 38 |
|
actually used to run the match. |
| 39 |
|
|
| 40 |
|
7. Individual JIT compile options can be set in pcretest by following -s+[+] |
| 41 |
|
or /S+[+] with a digit between 1 and 7. |
| 42 |
|
|
| 43 |
|
8. OP_NOT now supports any UTF character not just single-byte ones. |
| 44 |
|
|
| 45 |
|
9. (*MARK) control verb is now supported by the JIT compiler. |
| 46 |
|
|
| 47 |
|
10. The command "./RunTest list" lists the available tests without actually |
| 48 |
|
running any of them. (Because I keep forgetting what they all are.) |
| 49 |
|
|
| 50 |
|
11. Add PCRE_INFO_MAXLOOKBEHIND. |
| 51 |
|
|
| 52 |
|
12. Applied a (slightly modified) user-supplied patch that improves performance |
| 53 |
|
when the heap is used for recursion (compiled with --disable-stack-for- |
| 54 |
|
recursion). Instead of malloc and free for each heap frame each time a |
| 55 |
|
logical recursion happens, frames are retained on a chain and re-used where |
| 56 |
|
possible. This sometimes gives as much as 30% improvement. |
| 57 |
|
|
| 58 |
|
13. (*COMMIT) is now correctly confined to within a recursive subpattern call. |
| 59 |
|

rounding is not applied in this particular case). |
| 92 |
|
|
| 93 |
|
9. The invalid Unicode surrogate codepoints U+D800 to U+DFFF are now rejected |
| 94 |
|
if they appear, or are escaped, in patterns. |
| 95 |
|
|
| 96 |
|
10. Get rid of a number of -Wunused-but-set-variable warnings. |
| 97 |
|
|
| 98 |
|
11. The pattern /(?=(*:x))(q|)/ matches an empty string, and returns the mark |
| 99 |
|
"x". The similar pattern /(?=(*:x))((*:y)q|)/ did not return a mark at all. |
| 100 |
|
Oddly, Perl behaves the same way. PCRE has been fixed so that this pattern |
| 101 |
|
also returns the mark "x". This bug applied to capturing parentheses, |
| 102 |
|
non-capturing parentheses, and atomic parentheses. It also applied to some |
| 103 |
|
assertions. |
| 104 |
|
|
| 105 |
|
12. Stephen Kelly's patch to CMakeLists.txt allows it to parse the version |
| 106 |
|
information out of configure.ac instead of relying on pcre.h.generic, which |
| 107 |
|
is not stored in the repository. |
| 108 |
|
|
| 109 |
|
13. Applied Dmitry V. Levin's patch for a more portable method for linking with |
| 110 |
|
-lreadline. |
| 111 |
|
|
| 112 |
|
14. ZH added PCRE_CONFIG_JITTARGET; added its output to pcretest -C. |
| 113 |
|
|
| 114 |
|
15. Applied Graycode's patch to put the top-level frame on the stack rather |
| 115 |
|
than the heap when not using the stack for recursion. This gives a |
| 116 |
|
performance improvement in many cases when recursion is not deep. |
| 117 |
|
|
| 118 |
|
16. Experimental code added to "pcretest -C" to output the stack frame size. |
| 119 |
