[Webkit-unassigned] [Bug 23581] New: Long non-greedy regular expression fails to match

[bugzilla-daemon at webkit.org]

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23581

           Summary: Long non-greedy regular expression fails to match
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.unixpapa.com/regex_test.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jan at unixpapa.com


The URL points to a page that demonstrates a bug in non-greedy regular
expression matching, in which a regular expression that should match fails to
do so.  It also shows several slightly simplified expressions which all
succeed.  All expressions succeed in Firefox, IE 7 and Opera.

Maybe this is the same as https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18327. Maybe
not.

(Yes, this is a real RE from a real web app used by hundreds of people every
day, and not by a long shot the most complex.)
