http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1016 Summary: (*SKIP) at the start offset may cause hanging Product: PCRE Version: 8.02 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: medium Component: Code AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] The following were tested using mIRC v7.1's $regex() function: String: abc Regex: /b?(*SKIP)c/ Results in the client hanging, presumably awaiting a response from the PCRE library. String: bc Regex: /b?(*SKIP)c/ Returns a successful match, as it should. The following example also does not produce a hang: String: a Regex: /(*SKIP)bc/ Whereas this one does: String: a Regex: /(*SKIP)b/ I'm not sure if this issue is still present in PCRE v8.10 but I can't see anything in the changelog about it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
