Name : pcre
Product : Fedora 17
Version : 8.21
Release : 5.fc17
URL : http://www.pcre.org/
Summary : Perl-compatible regular expression library
Description :
Perl-compatible regular expression library.
PCRE has its own native API, but a set of "wrapper" functions that are based on
the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix. Note that this
just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions
themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The header file
for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Fix a buffer overflow in pcre_exec(), auto-possessify characters from 127-255 range in non-unicode mode.
Fix matching \s*\R.
