CHANGES.md.html

v0.10.1

  • Fix build with jbuilder 1.0+beta18

113.24.00

  • Switched to PPX.

  • Add Re2.Parser.any_string combinator.

    There are no tests because any_string is constructed only from the tested API and there's almost no interesting properties of it that can be verified.

113.00.00

  • Improved Re2.find_submatches on big patterns with many submatches unmatched, e.g. =(ABC)|(DEF)|(GHI)|(KLM)|...=.

    Without the fix:

  • Fixed build on FreeBSD.

    Excise direct mention of g++ from re2 Makefile, preferring the inbuilt CXX macro. This fixes the build on FreeBSD (yes, really).

  • Added an applicative interface to building/using regular expressions.

  • Made Re2 depend only on Core_kernel, not Core.

    Fixes janestreet/re2#6

112.35.00

  • Fixed a bug in Re2.find_all_exn, extant since 2014-01-23, in which it returns spurious extra matches.

    Using pattern b and input aaaaaaaaaaaab is expected to return a single match at the end of the input but instead returned the match multiple times, approximately as many times as input length / min(match length, 1).

    Added tests for this function and also get_matches which uses the same code.

  • Updated to new version of upstream library.

111.08.00

  • Upgraded to upstream library version 20140304.

    Added options Dot_nl and Never_capture.

111.06.00

  • Added Re2.Std, so that one should now use Re2 via module Re2 = Re2.Std.Re2.

    At some future date, we will rename the Regex module to Re2_internal to force the stragglers to update to the new convention.

111.03.00

  • Fixed a bug with replace_exn and anchoring.

    Fixed this bug:

      $ R.replace_exn ~f:(fun _ -> "a") (R.create_exn "^") "XYZ";;
      - : string = "aXaYaZa"
    
      $ R.replace_exn ~f:(fun _ -> "a") (R.create_exn "^X") "XXXYXXZ";;
      - : string = "aaaYXXZ"
    

109.53.00

  • Bump version number

109.52.00

  • Fixed bugs in Re2.Regexp.find_all and Re2.Regexp.find_first.

    • memory leaks on errors

    • unlikely garbage in their return values, or even segfaults (especially unlikely for find_first)

109.32.00

  • Fixed a bug in the C bindings that could cause a segfault.

    Fixed a bug where mlre2__create_re in C can give OCaml a freed C string.

    The bug was in:

    if (!compiled->ok()) {
      compile_error = compiled->error().c_str();
      delete compiled;
      compiled = NULL;
      caml_raise_with_string(*caml_named_value("mlre2__Regex_compile_failed"),
          compile_error);
    }
    

    This is in mlre2__create_re if we fail to compile the regular expression. Notice how we delete the re object before we use its' error string. (Notice that in C++ c_str() returns a pointer to the internal data of the string object it does NOT create a copy and error() just returns a reference to the regular expression objects error string member *error_).

    So if caml_raise_with_string has to allocate on the heap to create the exception or the copy of the string that might invalidate the ptr before we will copy it.
