Good day!
Here is two pcretest.exe listings:
PCRE version 8.11 2010-12-10
/\A.*?(?:a|b(*THEN)c)/
ba
No match
PCRE version 8.11 2010-12-10
/\A.*?(?:a|b(*THEN)c|d)/
ba
0: ba
Why first expression is not match? And why adding a third alternative
caused expression to match?
Is it a planned behaviour?
As i can see in documentation about (*THEN), "it cancels pending
backtracking, but only within the current alternation". Why it cancels a
backtracking to ".*?" ?
Thanx.
