This PR deals with three related problems for character ranges in case-insensitive mode:
_Builder::_Add_range()
casts the character bounds tounsigned int
. As a consequence, characters with negative numeric values are not added to the bitmap, but rather to the_Large
list of characters. This means that these characters are not found during matching. (Note the suspiciously different casts in the else branch for the case-sensitive case.)[Z-a]
(=[z-a]
).collate
andicase
flags are set, there is an unnecessary call to translate the bounds by_Traits.translate()
first before passing them to_Traits.translate_nocase()
. The standard says in [re.grammar]/14.1 and 14.2 that it is sufficient to calltranslate_nocase()
only. (See also_Builder::_Add_char()
, which already follows the Standard in this regard.)The PR moves the entire character translation into the parser so that empty ranges can be reliably diagnosed there in case-insensitive mode as well. It also fixes the unsigned cast and removes the unnecessary
translate()
call.The test deliberately does not use any manual signed/unsigned casts, but leaves all of these casts to
char_traits
to avoid getting the casts similarly wrong in<regex>
and the test.
