------- Comment #14 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2009-02-13 15:21 ------- If I understand correctly, in order to implement the POSIX behavior for C++, assuming we want it, the Standard should be clarified to explain that values <= 0 or CHAR_MAX are different in that do no admit repetitions, thus saying explicitly that such group is effectively the last, arbitrarily long, one.
I must say, that is what we would do when formatting anyway. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39168
