-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2017-7f94ea5689 2017-01-31 04:09:23.232569 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pcre2 Product : Fedora EPEL 6 Version : 10.21 Release : 12.el6 URL : http://www.pcre.org/ Summary : Perl-compatible regular expression library Description : PCRE2 is a re-working of the original PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expression) library to provide an entirely new API.
PCRE2 is written in C, and it has its own API. There are three sets of functions, one for the 8-bit library, which processes strings of bytes, one for the 16-bit library, which processes strings of 16-bit values, and one for the 32-bit library, which processes strings of 32-bit values. There are no C++ wrappers.
The distribution does contain a set of C wrapper functions for the 8-bit library that are based on the POSIX regular expression API (see the pcre2posix man page). These can be found in a library called libpcre2posix. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE2; the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The POSIX API is restricted, and does not give full access to all of PCRE2's facilities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
This release fixes compiling a class with Unicode properties and without UTF mode. It also fixes an ouf-of-bound read in pcre2test tool within POSIX mode. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use su -c 'yum update pcre2' at the command line. For more information, refer to "YUM", available at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/htm...
