| 115 |
|
|
| 116 |
|
14. If erroroffset was passed as NULL to pcre_compile, it provoked a |
| 117 |
|
segmentation fault instead of returning the appropriate error message. |
| 118 |
|
|
| 119 |
|
15. In multiline mode when the newline sequence was set to "any", the pattern |
| 120 |
|
^$ would give a match between the \r and \n of a subject such as "A\r\nB". |
| 121 |
|
This doesn't seem right; it now treats the CRLF combination as the line |
| 122 |
|
ending, and so does not match in that case. It's only a pattern such as ^$ |
| 123 |
|
that would hit this one: something like ^ABC$ would have failed after \r |
| 124 |
|
and then tried again after \r\n. |
| 125 |
|
|
| 126 |
|
16. Changed the comparison command for RunGrepTest from "diff -u" to "diff -ub" |
| 127 |
|
in an attempt to make files that differ only in their line terminators |
| 128 |
|
compare equal. This works on Linux. |
| 129 |
|
|
| 130 |
|
17. Under certain error circumstances pcregrep might try to free random memory |
| 131 |
|
as it exited. This is now fixed, thanks to valgrind. |
| 132 |
|
|
| 133 |
|
19. In pcretest, if the pattern /(?m)^$/g<any> was matched against the string |
| 134 |
|
"abc\r\n\r\n", it found an unwanted second match after the second \r. This |
| 135 |
|
was because its rules for how to advance for /g after matching an empty |
| 136 |
|
string did not allow for this case. They now check for it specially. |
