@@ -884,6 +884,8 @@ NETaa14697: regexp comments were sometimes wrongly treated as literal text From: Tom Christiansen Files patched: regcomp.c The literal-character grabber didn't know about extended comments. + N.B. '#' is treated as a comment character whenever the /x option is + used now, so you can't include '#' as a simple literal in /x regexps. (By the way, Tom, the boxed form of quoting in the previous enclosure is exceeding antisocial when you want to extract the code from it.) |
