Bleah. #include statements were missing in my previously posted sample test case. Here is the test case again with #include statements this time:
$ cat regex-bug.c #include <stdio.h> #include <regex.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { regex_t r; regmatch_t pmatch[2]; if (regcomp(&r, "\\bfoobar\\b", REG_EXTENDED) != 0) { fprintf(stderr, "regcomp failed\n"); exit(-1); } /* I'd expect above regex to match following string */ if (regexec(&r, "test foobar test", 2, pmatch, 0) == 0) { fprintf(stderr, "OK (match)\n"); /* expected behavior */ } else { fprintf(stderr, "FAIL (mismatch)\n"); /* unexpected!? */ } return 0; } $ gcc regex-bug.c $ ./a.out Outcome on Cywgin ................ FAIL (mismatch) Outcome on Linux (Ubuntu-5.10) ... OK (match) Cheers -- Dominique -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
