Re: [pcre-dev] PCRE 8.20-RC1 is available - Please Test

I built 8.20-RC1 on Windows XP in Msys/MINGW32 (simulated Unix
environment) configured with Cmake 2.8 using my usual options plus JIT
support.

pcretest -C reports:

PCRE version 8.20-RC1 2011-09-12
Compiled with
UTF-8 support
Unicode properties support
Just-in-time compiler support
Newline sequence is ANYCRLF
\R matches CR, LF, or CRLF only
Internal link size = 2
POSIX malloc threshold = 10
Default match limit = 10000000
Default recursion depth limit = 10000000
Match recursion uses heap

The size of my pcre shared library went from 289KB to 453KB

In previous versions I was able to use the included RunTest scripts from
the Msys console without exception (aside from test3 which never runs at
all from the Runtest script due I think to an erroneous grep or sed
error for "french"). Also RunTest.bat executed in the Windows command
environment always worked fine (including test3). Running RunTest.bat in
the Windows cmd environment still works fine and reports no
discrepancies for 8.20-RC1. The bat file should be updated as it only
runs tests 1 thru 12.

However there are numerous differences for 8.20-RC1 if I run the RunTest
sh script from my Msys console (in tests 1, 2, 4 and 11). I manually
renamed the interim testtry files to capture them and have attached a
zip file of the output from those tests. The same tests operate
successfully via RunTest.bat using Windows cmd. As I said previously,
the RunTest sh scripts of previous versions didn't have these issues.

Also, running the pcre_jit_test program apparently reports a
discrepancy. Among its output series of dots in the output is this:

Return value differs(-1:1): 'ab$' @ 'ab
'
Successful test ratio: 99%
