Package: grep
Version: 2.6.3-3
Severity: important
Hi.
$ export LC_ALL=C
$ export LANG=C
$ echo -e "\t#define" | grep -E '^\s*[^#]'
#define
$
I was trying also changing \s to [[:space:]], or [ \t] or ( |\t), but it
doesn't matter (it looks \s to be undocumented but it works).
So it looks that character class/range, [^#] for some reason somehow much #,
but it shouldn't. Why?
I also manually compiled Debian's grep and found that one of the tests in 'make
check' actually fail (include-exclude test), and the fact that there is
ridicoulusly small ammount of tests (like just 12 cases) - it is useless for
testing for regressions. Shouldn't this be improved, for example by harvesting
all the regular expressions from the bug reports and adding them to the test
suite?
Thanks.
