--- Comment #15 from Philip Hazel <ph10@???> ---
I am going to close this bug now, because I do not think it is worth spending
time patching up the untidinesses in pcretest at this stage. Your patches would
fix overflow checking, but what really needs doing is a complete tidy up and
rewrite - and that has already been done in the creation of pcre2test. Overflow
checking there is done by making use of strtol() and strtoul(), which could not
be used in pcretest because they were not available in SunOS4, back in the
1990s.
For PCRE2 I have assumed that nobody is still running SunOS4.
It is now 18 months since PCRE2 was released. I will continue to fix bugs in
the legacy PCRE1 library for a bit longer, while encouraging everybody to take
a look at PCRE2 when they can find the time. A lot of effort went into cleaning
up the code for PCRE2 and making it more robust.
