The library should actually see "\242\0", and gdb verifies that this is
in the CString. Nevertheless, I cannot reproduce this behavior in C:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <regex.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main () {
regex_t r;
regcomp(&r, ".", 0);
char *s = "\242";
int i = regexec(&r, s, 0, NULL, 0);
printf("%d\n", i);
}
prints 0, i.e. match succeeded.
But on the lowest layer above the FFI, I the strange behaviour already
occurs:
Prelude Foreign.C.String Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap> cs <- newCAString "\242"
Prelude Foreign.C.String Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap> cp <- newCAString "."
Prelude Foreign.C.String Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap>
Prelude Foreign.C.String Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap> Right r2 <- wrapCompile 0 0 cp
Prelude Foreign.C.String Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap>
Prelude Foreign.C.String Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap> wrapTest r2 cs
Right False
It is False for \128 and True for \127
The code in question is here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/regex-posix/0.95.2/doc/html/src/Text-Regex-Posix-Wrap.html
Changing the regex to "^$" or "^.*$" does not make a difference, i.e.
the string is not just turned to the empty string. Clearly something is
broken here.
I can reproduce it from within ghc’s address space using gdb:
(gdb) call malloc(32)
$7 = 64943120
(gdb) call regcomp(64943120, ".", 0)
$8 = 0
(gdb) call regexec(64943120,"\242",0,0,0)
$9 = 1
(gdb) call regexec(64943120,"only_ascii",0,0,0)
$10 = 0
And even from gdb while debugging “sleep”. So the behaviour is already
there in regexec, but for some reason it is not triggered from C code,
but only via some variants of FFI (GHC’s or gdb’s).
I’ll leave it at that, as this is not really related to GHC or Haskell
any more.
Greetings,
Joachim
