Kyle Evans <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Kyle Evans <[email protected]> --- Hi, I'll take a look at fixing this in the upcoming weeks. The branch at [1] is inherently wrong; they can't just take a string and stuff it into an ERE like that and hope it works-- one needs to escape any special characters to make them ordinary, and the user shouldn't be expected to do this manually. The behavior from stable/10 is technically wrong, but yields the correct result by coincidence because gnuregex allows 'c++', though it has a different meaning than expected. I think we can come up with a reasonable compromise that still does exactly what you expect it to do.
