Hi Jean,
Jean Abou Samra <j...@abou-samra.fr> skribis:
Regular expressions do funky things with Unicode if a non-Unicode-aware
locale is set. Yet, they're purely string operations, so I don't think
it's expected that they depend on the locale encoding.
This is the expected behavior: first because (ice-9 regex) is
implemented in terms of the libc regex functions, as Dale put (but that
could be thought as an implementation detail), and second because things
such as character classes are necessarily locale-dependent (this has
bitten us in the past, for instance with <https://bugs.gnu.org/35785>).
I hope that makes sense.
OK, thanks, but in this case, it should be clearly stated as a limitation
in the (ice-9 regex) documentation IMHO. If you don't know what constraints
there are on the implementation, there is no reason to expect this. Would it
help if I submitted a patch for that?
