 ChangeLog for PCRE
 ------------------
 
+Version 8.34 15-December-2013
+-----------------------------
+
+1.  Add pcre[16|32]_jit_free_unused_memory to forcibly free unused JIT
+    executable memory. Patch inspired by Carsten Klein.
+
+2.  ./configure --enable-coverage defined SUPPORT_GCOV in config.h, although
+    this macro is never tested and has no effect, because the work to support
+    coverage involves only compiling and linking options and special targets in
+    the Makefile. The comment in config.h implied that defining the macro would
+    enable coverage support, which is totally false. There was also support for
+    setting this macro in the CMake files (my fault, I just copied it from
+    configure). SUPPORT_GCOV has now been removed.
+
+3.  Make a small performance improvement in strlen16() and strlen32() in
+    pcretest.
+
+4.  Change 36 for 8.33 left some unreachable statements in pcre_exec.c,
+    detected by the Solaris compiler (gcc doesn't seem to be able to diagnose
+    these cases). There was also one in pcretest.c.
+
+5.  Cleaned up a "may be uninitialized" compiler warning in pcre_exec.c.
+
+6.  In UTF mode, the code for checking whether a group could match an empty
+    string (which is used for indefinitely repeated groups to allow for
+    breaking an infinite loop) was broken when the group contained a repeated
+    negated single-character class with a character that occupied more than one
+    data item and had a minimum repetition of zero (for example, [^\x{100}]* in
+    UTF-8 mode). The effect was undefined: the group might or might not be
+    deemed as matching an empty string, or the program might have crashed.
+
+7.  The code for checking whether a group could match an empty string was not
+    recognizing that \h, \H, \v, \V, and \R must match a character.
+
+8.  Implemented PCRE_INFO_MATCH_EMPTY, which yields 1 if the pattern can match
+    an empty string. If it can, pcretest shows this in its information output.
+
+9.  Fixed two related bugs that applied to Unicode extended grapheme clusters
+    that were repeated with a maximizing qualifier (e.g. \X* or \X{2,5}) when
+    matched by pcre_exec() without using JIT:
+
+    (a) If the rest of the pattern did not match after a maximal run of
+        grapheme clusters, the code for backing up to try with fewer of them
+        did not always back up over a full grapheme when characters that do not
+        have the modifier quality were involved, e.g. Hangul syllables.
+
+    (b) If the match point in a subject started with modifier character, and
+        there was no match, the code could incorrectly back up beyond the match
+        point, and potentially beyond the first character in the subject,
+        leading to a segfault or an incorrect match result.
+
+10. A conditional group with an assertion condition could lead to PCRE
+    recording an incorrect first data item for a match if no other first data
+    item was recorded. For example, the pattern (?(?=ab)ab) recorded "a" as a
+    first data item, and therefore matched "ca" after "c" instead of at the
+    start.
+
+11. Change 40 for 8.33 (allowing pcregrep to find empty strings) showed up a
+    bug that caused the command "echo a | ./pcregrep -M '|a'" to loop.
+
+12. The source of pcregrep now includes z/OS-specific code so that it can be
+    compiled for z/OS as part of the special z/OS distribution.
+
+13. Added the -T and -TM options to pcretest.
+
+14. The code in pcre_compile.c for creating the table of named capturing groups
+    has been refactored. Instead of creating the table dynamically during the
+    actual compiling pass, the information is remembered during the pre-compile
+    pass (on the stack unless there are more than 20 named groups, in which
+    case malloc() is used) and the whole table is created before the actual
+    compile happens. This has simplified the code (it is now nearly 150 lines
+    shorter) and prepared the way for better handling of references to groups
+    with duplicate names.
+
+15. A back reference to a named subpattern when there is more than one of the
+    same name now checks them in the order in which they appear in the pattern.
+    The first one that is set is used for the reference. Previously only the
+    first one was inspected. This change makes PCRE more compatible with Perl.
+
+16. Unicode character properties were updated from Unicode 6.3.0.
+
+17. The compile-time code for auto-possessification has been refactored, based
+    on a patch by Zoltan Herczeg. It now happens after instead of during
+    compilation. The code is cleaner, and more cases are handled. The option
+    PCRE_NO_AUTO_POSSESS is added for testing purposes, and the -O and /O
+    options in pcretest are provided to set it. It can also be set by
+    (*NO_AUTO_POSSESS) at the start of a pattern.
+
+18. The character VT has been added to the default ("C" locale) set of
+    characters that match \s and are generally treated as white space,
+    following this same change in Perl 5.18. There is now no difference between
+    "Perl space" and "POSIX space". Whether VT is treated as white space in
+    other locales depends on the locale.
+
+19. The code for checking named groups as conditions, either for being set or
+    for being recursed, has been refactored (this is related to 14 and 15
+    above). Processing unduplicated named groups should now be as fast at
+    numerical groups, and processing duplicated groups should be faster than
+    before.
+
+20. Two patches to the CMake build system, by Alexander Barkov:
+
+      (1) Replace the "source" command by "." in CMakeLists.txt because
+          "source" is a bash-ism.
+
+      (2) Add missing HAVE_STDINT_H and HAVE_INTTYPES_H to config-cmake.h.in;
+          without these the CMake build does not work on Solaris.
+
+21. Perl has changed its handling of \8 and \9. If there is no previously
+    encountered capturing group of those numbers, they are treated as the
+    literal characters 8 and 9 instead of a binary zero followed by the
+    literals. PCRE now does the same.
+
+22. Following Perl, added \o{} to specify codepoints in octal, making it
+    possible to specify values greater than 0777 and also making them
+    unambiguous.
+
+23. Perl now gives an error for missing closing braces after \x{... instead of
+    treating the string as literal. PCRE now does the same.
+
+24. RunTest used to grumble if an inappropriate test was selected explicitly,
+    but just skip it when running all tests. This make it awkward to run ranges
+    of tests when one of them was inappropriate. Now it just skips any
+    inappropriate tests, as it always did when running all tests.
+
+25. If PCRE_AUTO_CALLOUT and PCRE_UCP were set for a pattern that contained
+    character types such as \d or \w, too many callouts were inserted, and the
+    data that they returned was rubbish.
+
+26. In UCP mode, \s was not matching two of the characters that Perl matches,
+    namely NEL (U+0085) and MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR (U+180E), though they
+    were matched by \h. The code has now been refactored so that the lists of
+    the horizontal and vertical whitespace characters used for \h and \v (which
+    are defined only in one place) are now also used for \s.
+
+27. Add JIT support for the 64 bit TileGX architecture.
+    Patch by Jiong Wang (Tilera Corporation).
+
+28. Possessive quantifiers for classes (both explicit and automatically
+    generated) now use special opcodes instead of wrapping in ONCE brackets.
+
+29. Whereas an item such as A{4}+ ignored the possessivenes of the quantifier
+    (because it's meaningless), this was not happening when PCRE_CASELESS was
+    set. Not wrong, but inefficient.
+
+30. Updated perltest.pl to add /u (force Unicode mode) when /W (use Unicode
+    properties for \w, \d, etc) is present in a test regex. Otherwise if the
+    test contains no characters greater than 255, Perl doesn't realise it
+    should be using Unicode semantics.
+
+31. Upgraded the handling of the POSIX classes [:graph:], [:print:], and
+    [:punct:] when PCRE_UCP is set so as to include the same characters as Perl
+    does in Unicode mode.
+
+32. Added the "forbid" facility to pcretest so that putting tests into the
+    wrong test files can sometimes be quickly detected.
+
+33. There is now a limit (default 250) on the depth of nesting of parentheses.
+    This limit is imposed to control the amount of system stack used at compile
+    time. It can be changed at build time by --with-parens-nest-limit=xxx or
+    the equivalent in CMake.
+
+34. Character classes such as [A-\d] or [a-[:digit:]] now cause compile-time
+    errors. Perl warns for these when in warning mode, but PCRE has no facility
+    for giving warnings.
+
+35. Change 34 for 8.13 allowed quantifiers on assertions, because Perl does.
+    However, this was not working for (?!) because it is optimized to (*FAIL),
+    for which PCRE does not allow quantifiers. The optimization is now disabled
+    when a quantifier follows (?!). I can't see any use for this, but it makes
+    things uniform.
+
+36. Perl no longer allows group names to start with digits, so I have made this
+    change also in PCRE. It simplifies the code a bit.
+
+37. In extended mode, Perl ignores spaces before a + that indicates a
+    possessive quantifier. PCRE allowed a space before the quantifier, but not
+    before the possessive +. It now does.
+
+38. The use of \K (reset reported match start) within a repeated possessive
+    group such as (a\Kb)*+ was not working.
+
+40. Document that the same character tables must be used at compile time and
+    run time, and that the facility to pass tables to pcre_exec() and
+    pcre_dfa_exec() is for use only with saved/restored patterns.
+
+41. Applied Jeff Trawick's patch CMakeLists.txt, which "provides two new
+    features for Builds with MSVC:
+
+    1. Support pcre.rc and/or pcreposix.rc (as is already done for MinGW
+       builds). The .rc files can be used to set FileDescription and many other
+       attributes.
+
+    2. Add an option (-DINSTALL_MSVC_PDB) to enable installation of .pdb files.
+       This allows higher-level build scripts which want .pdb files to avoid
+       hard-coding the exact files needed."
+
+42. Added support for [[:<:]] and [[:>:]] as used in the BSD POSIX library to
+    mean "start of word" and "end of word", respectively, as a transition aid.
+
+43. A minimizing repeat of a class containing codepoints greater than 255 in
+    non-UTF 16-bit or 32-bit modes caused an internal error when PCRE was
+    compiled to use the heap for recursion.
+
+44. Got rid of some compiler warnings for unused variables when UTF but not UCP
+    is configured.
+

 News about PCRE releases
 ------------------------
 
+Release 8.34 15-December-2013
+-----------------------------
+
+As well as fixing the inevitable bugs, performance has been improved by
+refactoring and extending the amount of "auto-possessification" that PCRE does.
+Other notable changes:
+
+.  Implemented PCRE_INFO_MATCH_EMPTY, which yields 1 if the pattern can match
+   an empty string. If it can, pcretest shows this in its information output.
+
+.  A back reference to a named subpattern when there is more than one of the
+   same name now checks them in the order in which they appear in the pattern.
+   The first one that is set is used for the reference. Previously only the
+   first one was inspected. This change makes PCRE more compatible with Perl.
+
+.  Unicode character properties were updated from Unicode 6.3.0.
+
+.  The character VT has been added to the set of characters that match \s and
+   are generally treated as white space, following this same change in Perl
+   5.18. There is now no difference between "Perl space" and "POSIX space".
+
+.  Perl has changed its handling of \8 and \9. If there is no previously
+   encountered capturing group of those numbers, they are treated as the
+   literal characters 8 and 9 instead of a binary zero followed by the
+   literals. PCRE now does the same.
+
+.  Following Perl, added \o{} to specify codepoints in octal, making it
+   possible to specify values greater than 0777 and also making them
+   unambiguous.
+
+.  In UCP mode, \s was not matching two of the characters that Perl matches,
+   namely NEL (U+0085) and MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR (U+180E), though they
+   were matched by \h.
+
+.  Add JIT support for the 64 bit TileGX architecture.
+
+.  Upgraded the handling of the POSIX classes [:graph:], [:print:], and
+   [:punct:] when PCRE_UCP is set so as to include the same characters as Perl
+   does in Unicode mode.
+
+.  Perl no longer allows group names to start with digits, so I have made this
+   change also in PCRE.
+
+.  Added support for [[:<:]] and [[:>:]] as used in the BSD POSIX library to
+   mean "start of word" and "end of word", respectively, as a transition aid.
+

 MISSING CALLOUTS
 
-       You should be aware that, because of  optimizations  in  the  way  PCRE
-       matches  patterns  by  default,  callouts  sometimes do not happen. For
-       example, if the pattern is
+       You should be aware that, because of optimizations in the way PCRE com-
+       piles and matches patterns, callouts sometimes do not happen exactly as
+       you might expect.
+
+       At compile time, PCRE "auto-possessifies" repeated items when it  knows
+       that  what follows cannot be part of the repeat. For example, a+[bc] is
+       compiled as if it were a++[bc]. The pcretest output when  this  pattern
+       is  anchored  and  then  applied  with automatic callouts to the string
+       "aaaa" is:
+
+         --->aaaa
+          +0 ^        ^
+          +1 ^        a+
+          +3 ^   ^    [bc]
+         No match
+
+       This indicates that when matching [bc] fails, there is no  backtracking
+       into  a+  and  therefore the callouts that would be taken for the back-
+       tracks do not occur.  You can disable the  auto-possessify  feature  by
+       passing PCRE_NO_AUTO_POSSESS to pcre_compile(), or starting the pattern
+       with (*NO_AUTO_POSSESS). If this is done  in  pcretest  (using  the  /O
+       qualifier), the output changes to this:
+
+         --->aaaa
+          +0 ^        ^
+          +1 ^        a+
+          +3 ^   ^    [bc]
+          +3 ^  ^     [bc]
+          +3 ^ ^      [bc]
+          +3 ^^       [bc]
+         No match
+
+       This time, when matching [bc] fails, the matcher backtracks into a+ and
+       tries again, repeatedly, until a+ itself fails.
+
+       Other optimizations that provide fast "no match"  results  also  affect
+       callouts.  For example, if the pattern is
 
          ab(?C4)cd
 
        PCRE knows that any matching string must contain the letter "d". If the
-       subject  string  is "abyz", the lack of "d" means that matching doesn't
-       ever start, and the callout is never  reached.  However,  with  "abyd",

+       ever  start,  and  the  callout is never reached. However, with "abyd",
        though the result is still no match, the callout is obeyed.
 
-       If  the pattern is studied, PCRE knows the minimum length of a matching
-       string, and will immediately give a "no match" return without  actually

+       running a match if the subject is not long enough, or,  for  unanchored
        patterns, if it has been scanned far enough.
 
-       You can disable these optimizations by passing the  PCRE_NO_START_OPTI-

+COMPATIBILITY FEATURE FOR WORD BOUNDARIES
+
+       In  the POSIX.2 compliant library that was included in 4.4BSD Unix, the
+       ugly syntax [[:<:]] and [[:>:]] is used for matching  "start  of  word"
+       and "end of word". PCRE treats these items as follows:
+
+         [[:<:]]  is converted to  \b(?=\w)
+         [[:>:]]  is converted to  \b(?<=\w)
+
+       Only these exact character sequences are recognized. A sequence such as
+       [a[:<:]b] provokes error for an unrecognized  POSIX  class  name.  This
+       support  is not compatible with Perl. It is provided to help migrations
+       from other environments, and is best not used in any new patterns. Note
+       that  \b matches at the start and the end of a word (see "Simple asser-
+       tions" above), and in a Perl-style pattern the preceding  or  following
+       character  normally  shows  which  is  wanted, without the need for the

+.SS "Locking out certain modifiers"
+.rs
+.sp
+PCRE can be compiled with or without support for certain features such as
+UTF-8/16/32 or Unicode properties. Accordingly, the standard tests are split up
+into a number of different files that are selected for running depending on
+which features are available. When updating the tests, it is all too easy to
+put a new test into the wrong file by mistake; for example, to put a test that
+requires UTF support into a file that is used when it is not available. To help
+detect such mistakes as early as possible, there is a facility for locking out
+specific modifiers. If an input line for \fBpcretest\fP starts with the string
+"< forbid " the following sequence of characters is taken as a list of
+forbidden modifiers. For example, in the test files that must not use UTF or
+Unicode property support, this line appears:
+.sp
+  < forbid 8W
+.sp
+This locks out the /8 and /W modifiers. An immediate error is given if they are
+subsequently encountered. If the character string contains < but not >, all the
+multi-character modifiers that begin with < are locked out. Otherwise, such
+modifiers must be explicitly listed, for example:
+.sp
+  < forbid <JS><cr>
+.sp
+There must be a single space between < and "forbid" for this feature to be
+recognised. If there is not, the line is interpreted either as a request to
+re-load a pre-compiled pattern (see "SAVING AND RELOADING COMPILED PATTERNS"

+   Locking out certain modifiers
+
+       PCRE can be compiled with or without support for certain features  such
+       as  UTF-8/16/32  or Unicode properties. Accordingly, the standard tests
+       are split up into a number of different files  that  are  selected  for
+       running  depending  on  which features are available. When updating the
+       tests, it is all too easy to put a new test into the wrong file by mis-
+       take;  for example, to put a test that requires UTF support into a file
+       that is used when it is not available. To help detect such mistakes  as
+       early  as  possible, there is a facility for locking out specific modi-
+       fiers. If an input line for pcretest starts with the string "< forbid "
+       the  following  sequence  of characters is taken as a list of forbidden
+       modifiers. For example, in the test files that must not use UTF or Uni-
+       code property support, this line appears:
+
+         < forbid 8W
+
+       This  locks out the /8 and /W modifiers. An immediate error is given if
+       they are subsequently encountered. If the character string  contains  <
+       but  not  >,  all  the  multi-character modifiers that begin with < are
+       locked out. Otherwise, such modifiers must be  explicitly  listed,  for
+       example:
+
+         < forbid <JS><cr>
+
+       There must be a single space between < and "forbid" for this feature to
+       be recognised. If there is not, the line is  interpreted  either  as  a
+       request  to  re-load  a pre-compiled pattern (see "SAVING AND RELOADING
+       COMPILED PATTERNS" below) or, if there is a another < character,  as  a

-returns when it reaches a given numbered subpattern. Recursion is used to keep

-
-This function was originally called only from the second pass, in which we know
-that if (?< or (?' or (?P< is encountered, the name will be correctly
-terminated because that is checked in the first pass. There is now one call to
-this function in the first pass, to check for a recursive back reference by
-name (so that we can make the whole group atomic). In this case, we need check
-only up to the current position in the pattern, and that is still OK because
-and previous occurrences will have been checked. To make this work, the test
-for "end of pattern" is a check against cd->end_pattern in the main loop,
-instead of looking for a binary zero. This means that the special first-pass
-call can adjust cd->end_pattern temporarily. (Checks for binary zero while

-encountered in a character class. It checks whether this is followed by a
-sequence of characters terminated by a matching ":]" or ".]" or "=]". If we
-reach an unescaped ']' without the special preceding character, return FALSE.
-
-Originally, this function only recognized a sequence of letters between the
-terminators, but it seems that Perl recognizes any sequence of characters,
-though of course unknown POSIX names are subsequently rejected. Perl gives an
-"Unknown POSIX class" error for [:f\oo:] for example, where previously PCRE
-didn't consider this to be a POSIX class. Likewise for [:1234:].
-
-The problem in trying to be exactly like Perl is in the handling of escapes. We
-have to be sure that [abc[:x\]pqr] is *not* treated as containing a POSIX
-class, but [abc[:x\]pqr:]] is (so that an error can be generated). The code
-below handles the special case of \], but does not try to do any other escape
-processing. This makes it different from Perl for cases such as [:l\ower:]
-where Perl recognizes it as the POSIX class "lower" but PCRE does not recognize
-"l\ower". This is a lesser evil that not diagnosing bad classes when Perl does,
-I think.
-
-A user pointed out that PCRE was rejecting [:a[:digit:]] whereas Perl was not.
-It seems that the appearance of a nested POSIX class supersedes an apparent
-external class. For example, [:a[:digit:]b:] matches "a", "b", ":", or
-a digit.
-
-In Perl, unescaped square brackets may also appear as part of class names. For
-example, [:a[:abc]b:] gives unknown POSIX class "[:abc]b:]". However, for
-[:a[:abc]b][b:] it gives unknown POSIX class "[:abc]b][b:]", which does not
-seem right at all. PCRE does not allow closing square brackets in POSIX class
-names.

+          The posspropstab table has four entries per row. Each row relates to
+          one of PCRE's special properties such as ALNUM or SPACE or WORD.
+          Only WORD actually needs all four entries, but using repeats for the
+          others means they can all use the same code below.
+
+          The first two entries in each row are Unicode general categories, and
+          apply always, because all the characters they include are part of the
+          PCRE character set. The third and fourth entries are a general and a
+          particular category, respectively, that include one or more relevant
+          characters. One or the other is used, depending on whether the check
+          is for a general or a particular category. However, in both cases the
+          category contains more characters than the specials that are defined
+          for the property being tested against. Therefore, it cannot be used
+          in a NOTPROP case.
+
+          Example: the row for WORD contains ucp_L, ucp_N, ucp_P, ucp_Po.
+          Underscore is covered by ucp_P or ucp_Po. */

+encountered in a character class. It checks whether this is followed by a
+sequence of characters terminated by a matching ":]" or ".]" or "=]". If we
+reach an unescaped ']' without the special preceding character, return FALSE.
+
+Originally, this function only recognized a sequence of letters between the
+terminators, but it seems that Perl recognizes any sequence of characters,
+though of course unknown POSIX names are subsequently rejected. Perl gives an
+"Unknown POSIX class" error for [:f\oo:] for example, where previously PCRE
+didn't consider this to be a POSIX class. Likewise for [:1234:].
+
+The problem in trying to be exactly like Perl is in the handling of escapes. We
+have to be sure that [abc[:x\]pqr] is *not* treated as containing a POSIX
+class, but [abc[:x\]pqr:]] is (so that an error can be generated). The code
+below handles the special case of \], but does not try to do any other escape
+processing. This makes it different from Perl for cases such as [:l\ower:]
+where Perl recognizes it as the POSIX class "lower" but PCRE does not recognize
+"l\ower". This is a lesser evil than not diagnosing bad classes when Perl does,
+I think.
+
+A user pointed out that PCRE was rejecting [:a[:digit:]] whereas Perl was not.
+It seems that the appearance of a nested POSIX class supersedes an apparent
+external class. For example, [:a[:digit:]b:] matches "a", "b", ":", or
+a digit.
+
+In Perl, unescaped square brackets may also appear as part of class names. For
+example, [:a[:abc]b:] gives unknown POSIX class "[:abc]b:]". However, for
+[:a[:abc]b][b:] it gives unknown POSIX class "[:abc]b][b:]", which does not
+seem right at all. PCRE does not allow closing square brackets in POSIX class
+names.
