            Bug ID: 2690
           Summary: Discontinuous behavior with parsing of backslash
                    followed by number
           Product: PCRE
           Version: 10.36 (PCRE2)
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Code
          Assignee: Philip.Hazel@???
          Reporter: davidell@???

The pattern /\214748363/ is interpreted by parsing the first three digits as
octal and treating the remaining digits as literal numerals, i.e.
/\x{8c}748363/. But with /\214748364/ or any integer 2^31/10 or larger, PCRE2
returns the error "subpattern number is too big".

PCRE1 behaves slightly differently, with /\2147483639/ being parsed as
/\x{8c}7483639/, but /\2147483640/ returning the error "number is too big".

Perl does not do this; it treats the first three digits as an octal character
code, followed by literal interpretation of the remaining numerals, regardless
of how big of a decimal number follows a backslash. For example /\10000000000/
is treated as /@00000000/. PCRE2 should do the same.
