In the rejigging of the build system that eventually resulted in 7.1, the + line "#include " was included in pcre_internal.h. The use of angle + brackets there is not right, since it causes compilers to look for an + installed pcre.h, not the version that is in the source that is being + compiled (which of course may be different). I have changed it back to: + + #include "pcre.h" + + I have a vague recollection that the change was concerned with compiling in + different directories, but in the new build system, that is taken care of + by the VPATH setting the Makefile. + + 2. The pattern .*$ when run in not-DOTALL UTF-8 mode with newline=any failed + when the subject happened to end in the byte 0x85 (e.g. if the last + character was \x{1ec5}). *Character* 0x85 is one of the "any" newline + characters but of course it shouldn't be taken as a newline when it is part + of another character. The bug was that, for an unlimited repeat of . in + not-DOTALL UTF-8 mode, PCRE was advancing by bytes rather than by + characters when looking for a newline. + + 3. A small performance improvement in the DOTALL UTF-8 mode .* case. + + 4. Debugging: adjusted the names of opcodes for different kinds of parentheses + in debug output. + + 5. Arrange to use "%I64d" instead of "%lld" and "%I64u" instead of "%llu" for + long printing in the pcrecpp unittest when running under MinGW. + + 6. ESC_K was left out of the EBCDIC table. + + 7. Change 7.0/38 introduced a new limit on the number of nested non-capturing + parentheses; I made it 1000, which seemed large enough. Unfortunately, the + limit also applies to "virtual nesting" when a pattern is recursive, and in + this case 1000 isn't so big. I have been able to remove this limit at the + expense of backing off one optimization in certain circumstances. Normally, + when pcre_exec() would call its internal match() function recursively and + immediately return the result unconditionally, it uses a "tail recursion" + feature to save stack. However, when a subpattern that can match an empty + string has an unlimited repetition quantifier, it no longer makes this + optimization. That gives it a stack frame in which to save the data for + checking that an empty string has been matched. Previously this was taken + from the 1000-entry workspace that had been reserved. So now there is no + explicit limit, but more stack is used. + + 8. Applied Daniel's patches to solve problems with the import/export magic + syntax that is required for Windows, and which was going wrong for the + pcreposix and pcrecpp parts of the library. These were overlooked when this + problem was solved for the main library. + + 9. There were some crude static tests to avoid integer overflow when computing + the size of patterns that contain repeated groups with explicit upper + limits. As the maximum quantifier is 65535, the maximum group length was + set at 30,000 so that the product of these two numbers did not overflow a + 32-bit integer. However, it turns out that people want to use groups that + are longer than 30,000 bytes (though not repeat them that many times). + Change 7.0/17 (the refactoring of the way the pattern size is computed) has + made it possible to implement the integer overflow checks in a much more + dynamic way, which I have now done. The artificial limitation on group + length has been removed - we now have only the limit on the total length of + the compiled pattern, which depends on the LINK_SIZE setting. + +10. Fixed a bug in the documentation for get/copy named substring when + duplicate names are permitted. If none of the named substrings are set, the + functions return PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING (7); the doc said they returned an + empty string. + + +Version 7.2 19-Jun-07 --------------------- 1.
