            Bug ID: 1875
           Summary: Options set in the pattern aren't being "globalized"
                    anymore
           Product: PCRE
           Version: N/A
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Code
          Assignee: ph10@???
          Reporter: bjourne@???

Doc says:

"For example, (?im) sets caseless, multiline matching. It is also possible to
unset these options by preceding the letter with a hyphen, and a combined
setting and unsetting such as (?im-sx), which sets PCRE_CASELESS and
PCRE_MULTILINE while unsetting PCRE_DOTALL and PCRE_EXTENDED, is also
permitted. If a letter appears both before and after the hyphen, the option is
unset.
The PCRE-specific options PCRE_DUPNAMES, PCRE_UNGREEDY, and PCRE_EXTRA can be
changed in the same way as the Perl-compatible options by using the characters
J, U and X respectively.

When one of these option changes occurs at top level (that is, not inside
subpattern parentheses), the change applies to the remainder of the pattern
that follows. If the change is placed right at the start of a pattern, PCRE
extracts it into the global options (and it will therefore show up in data
extracted by the pcre_fullinfo() function)."

But it appears to not be the case anymore. In this abbreviated sample code:

    pcre *c = pcre_compile("(?im)abc", 0, &err_str, &err_ofs, NULL);
    pcre_fullinfo(c, NULL, PCRE_INFO_OPTIONS, &opts)
    printf("%d", opts & PCRE_MULTILINE);


With pcre 8.35, "2" is printed, with pcre 8.39 "0" is printed. It is the same
story with the other options you can set in "(?)"-thingies.
