--- Comment #1 from firas <firas....@gmail.com> --- Another, somewhat related, issue is with quantifiers. The expression /a{123/ will match the string 'a{123' literally. However, if the number exeeds 65535, the engine throws an unexpected error. This is expected to always be treated as a literal unless a closing bracket is encountered. In Perl, "a{65536" =~ m/a{65536/ matches fine. It throws a warning regarding an unescaped bracket, but it matches none the less. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
