Jira (PUP-3083) Problem with parsing regular expressions.

[Dominik Zyla (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Dominik Zyla commented on an issue   Re: Problem with parsing regular expressions. I've done some deeper investigation and I'm not sure it's puppet issue.. On older release of Amazon Linux (2013.09) puppet 3.6.2 works perfectly fine. I use exactly the same version of rubies (same packages are being installed from the same repo, 2.0 and 1.9 has been checked) and test.pp works as expected (returns 'MATCH'). As for newer version of Amazon Linux (2014.03), puppet 3.4.3 works fine and 3.6.2 fails with both versions of ruby. What I've figured out is that ruby is linked against glibc and nss-softokn-freebl. nss-softokn-freebl itself didn't change, so my guess is a bug in glibc. Following are the versions I ran tests on: glibc-2.17-36.81.amzn1.x86_64 - the one being shipped with Amazon Linux 2013.09 glibc-2.17-55.84.amzn1.x86_64 - the one being shipped with Amazon Linux 2014.03 Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-3083 Problem with parsing regular expressions. It seems the way regular expressions are now parsed has been changed and I presume it wasn't on purpose. Here's how it used to work before and what I consider as expected: {code:title=On 3.4.3} [ec2-user@instance-CN5L5XeZKd ~]$ cat test.pp $test = 1 case $test {   /^\d+$/: {     fail('MATCH')   }   default: {     fail("Not MATCH")   } } ...
