Hi all!

A correspondant who have choosen to remain anonymous has sent me this as he's been bitten by this bug.

When executing the following program (with a UTF-8 character in it) in maintperl\, the program hangs at the s/// command​:

\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\<\< #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; use warnings;

use utf8; use locale;

my $text = " ”\001 ";

my $EOS = "\001"; $text =~ s/(\s\w\.\s+)$EOS/$1/sg;

binmode STDOUT\, "​:utf8"; print "$text\n";

I can confirm on perl-5.8.8 and on perl-5.8.x-latest (maint-perl-5.8.x)\, and it doesn't exist in my Mandriva Cooker's perl-5.10.0 ( perl-5.10.0-21mdv2009.0 ).

Regards\,

Could it have something to do with this question I posed 4 years ago?

I also noticed this in regexp.h while trying to track this bug down​:

#define ROPT_CANY_SEEN 0x00800 #define ROPT_SANY_SEEN ROPT_CANY_SEEN /* src bckwrd cmpt */

/* 0xf800 of reganch is used by PMf_COMPILETIME */

It looks like PMf_COMPILETIME overlaps with ROPT_CANY_SEEN\, specifically the PMf_LOCALE portion. I don't know what ROPT_CANY_SEEN is; is this ok? It doesn't look it.

It looks like when you renumbered the flags that PMf_LOCALE (now RXf_PMf_LOCALE) and ROPT_CANY_SEEN (now RXf_CANY_SEEN) are no longer the same. I still don't know what CANY_SEEN is but I'd guess that it comes into play in the above regexp and was formerly screwed up by the "use locale".

Yep\, that makes sense. Nice detective work/memory.
