-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2016-729c74745d 2017-01-02 20:50:04.994869 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pcre2 Product : Fedora 24 Version : 10.21 Release : 11.fc24 URL : http://www.pcre.org/ Summary : Perl-compatible regular expression library Description : PCRE2 is a re-working of the original PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expression) library to provide an entirely new API.
PCRE2 is written in C, and it has its own API. There are three sets of functions, one for the 8-bit library, which processes strings of bytes, one for the 16-bit library, which processes strings of 16-bit values, and one for the 32-bit library, which processes strings of 32-bit values. There are no C++ wrappers.
The distribution does contain a set of C wrapper functions for the 8-bit library that are based on the POSIX regular expression API (see the pcre2posix man page). These can be found in a library called libpcre2posix. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE2; the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The POSIX API is restricted, and does not give full access to all of PCRE2's facilities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
This release fixes crashes in substitution when starting offset was specified beyond the subject end or when an extended substition for \p, \P, or \X was performed. ---- This release fixes "pcre2-config --libs-posix" output, a memory leak in pcre2test tool, a buffer overflow in the library when partial- matching for CR-LF in an empty buffer and a crash in pcre2test tool when diplaying wide characters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
