Bug in PCRE
| Reported by: | jchd18 | Owned by: | Jon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milestone: | 3.3.15.0 | Component: | AutoIt |
| Version: | 3.3.14.0 | Severity: | None |

Description
A bug in recent releases of the PCRE library has been reported which may affect users running the 3.3.13.19 beta (the 3.3.12.0 release is OK):
In caseless utf modes, it is possible for character classes to be missing the lowercase version of some ascii characters.
Example below shows that the beta gives a wrong result (the range a-j is missed), yet the release behaves correctly:
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace("ABCDEFGHIJKLmonpqrstuvwxyz[\]^_` 123456 abcdefgijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", "(?i)([A-`])", "*") & @LF)
Advice: if you need the beta, make character ranges in classes more explicit, until Dev team can link a fixed version of PCRE in a new AutoIt beta or release.
Remark: no change in PCRE can be found in the changelog between release 3.3.12.0 and beta 3.3.13.19 but the code sample above clearly demonstrate they don't use the same PCRE version.

After a test 8.35 induce the regression if it is really a regression

Yes it is. It also crept in PCRE2 (10.00 and 10.10RC2 exhibit the same bug). No doubt it will be fixed soon by Philip Hazel & co.

Is it reported to Phillip Hazel?
Any new if PCRE2 (10.20)?

The bug was reported to the dev list and quickly fixed some time ago.
PCRE2 is moving forward. There is a RC being tested but I expect some time before the dust settles.

I notice that the last release (3.3.14.0) dated 2015-07-10 uses PCRE v8.35 (dated 2014-04-04) instead of the last available version, 8.37 dated 2015-04-28. This explains why the bug in this "ticket" (rather a notice) can still show.
