GNU regex is the only implementation I've seen with this bug that purports to be an implementation of POSIX RE. The implementation we have in musl, which is based on TRE, passes the tests in this bug report just fine. As for the RH bug report, the reason I saw it as adding urgency is that it shows how this bug can affect whether or not the regex matches at all, as opposed to "just" a pedantic matter of extraneous data in the resulting subexpression match array. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
