--- Comment #2 from Jeffrey Walton <noloader@???> ---
(In reply to Philip Hazel from comment #1)
> Thank you for the report. The PCRE1 8.43 release is very recent, and there
> is unlikely to be another for at least a year, if not more, because PCRE1 is
> very much in "serious maintenance only, because it's been superseded" mode.
> PCRE2, the 10.xx series, is where development is happening - it has been
> available for four years now. PCRE2 has also been subjected to much more
> ASAN and other types of testing and code analysis.
>
> pcretest is a test program that was hacked up in the early days. It was
> heavily rewritten as pcre2test for PCRE2, and that is much saner code. I
> feel there is little point in spending time in cleaning up pcretest.
> However, I have made a note of this report, and next time any work is done
> on PCRE1, I will consider doing any trivial fixes. But please don't hold
> your breath. This is unlikely to happen for many months.
