| H A D | egrep | 51ddd709 Fri Oct 10 21:33:40 GMT 2014 John Marino <draco@marino.st> Complete upgrade of gnu grep 2.14 => 2.20
** 2.20 Bug fixes
grep --max-count=N FILE would no longer stop reading after Nth match.
I.e., while grep would still print the correct output, it would continue
reading until end of input, and hence, potentially forever.
[bug introduced in grep-2.19]
A command like echo aa|grep -E 'a(b$|c$)' would mistakenly
report the input as a matched line. [bug introduced in grep-2.19]
** 2.20 Changes in behavior
grep --exclude-dir='FOO/' now excludes the directory FOO.
Previously, the trailing slash meant the option was ineffective.
** 2.19 Improvements
Performance has improved, typically by 10% and in some cases by a
factor of 200. However, performance of grep -P in UTF-8 locales has
gotten worse as part of the fix for the crashes mentioned below.
** 2.19 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [a-[.z.]], and no longer
mishandles patterns like [^a] in locales that have multicharacter
collating sequences so that [^a] can match a string of two characters.
grep no longer mishandles an empty pattern at the end of a pattern list.
[bug introduced in grep-2.5]
grep -C NUM now outputs separators consistently even when NUM is zero,
and similarly for grep -A NUM and grep -B NUM.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -f no longer mishandles patterns containing NUL bytes.
[bug introduced in grep-2.11]
Plain grep, grep -E, and grep -F now treat encoding errors in patterns
the same way the GNU regular expression matcher treats them, with respect
to whether the errors can match parts of multibyte characters in data.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -w no longer mishandles a potential match adjacent to a letter that
takes up two or more bytes in a multibyte encoding.
Similarly, the patterns '\<', '\>', '\b', and '\B' no longer
mishandle word-boundary matches in multibyte locales.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -P now reports an error and exits when given invalid UTF-8 data.
Previously it was unreliable, and sometimes crashed or looped.
[bug introduced in grep-2.16]
grep -P now works with -w and -x and backreferences. Before,
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\1' would fail to match, yet
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\2' would match.
grep -Pw now works like grep -w in that the matched string has to be
preceded and followed by non-word components or the beginning and end
of the line (as opposed to word boundaries before). Before, this
echo a@@a| grep -Pw @@ would match, yet this
echo a@@a| grep -w @@ would not. Now, they both fail to match,
per the documentation on how grep's -w works.
grep -i no longer mishandles patterns containing titlecase characters.
For example, in a locale containing the titlecase character
'Lj' (U+01C8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J),
'grep -i Lj' now matches both 'LJ' (U+01C7 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ)
and 'lj' (U+01C9 LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ).
** 2.18 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [^^-~] in unibyte locales.
[bug introduced in grep-2.8]
grep -i in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale could be up to 200 times slower
than in 2.16. [bug introduced in grep-2.17]
** 2.17 Improvements
grep -i in a multibyte locale is now typically 10 times faster
for patterns that do not contain \ or [.
grep (without -i) in a multibyte locale is now up to 7 times faster
when processing many matched lines.
** 2.16 Bug fixes
The fix to make \s and \S work with multi-byte white space broke
the use of each shortcut whenever followed by a repetition operator.
For example, \s*, \s+, \s? and \s{3} would all malfunction in a
multi-byte locale. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
The fix to make grep -P work better with UTF-8 made it possible for
grep to evoke a larger set of PCRE errors, some of which could trigger
an abort. E.g., this would abort:
printf '\x82'|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P y
Now grep handles arbitrary PCRE errors. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
Handle very long lines (2GiB and longer) on systems with a deficient
read system call.
** 2.15 Bug fixes
grep's \s and \S failed to work with multi-byte white space characters.
For example, \s would fail to match a non-breaking space, and this
would print nothing: printf '\xc2\xa0' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '\s'
A related bug is that \S would mistakenly match an invalid multibyte
character. For example, the following would match:
printf '\x82\n' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '^\S$'
[bug present since grep-2.6]
grep -i would segfault on systems using UTF-16-based wchar_t (Cygwin)
when converting an input string containing certain 4-byte UTF-8
sequences to lower case. The conversions to wchar_t and back to
a UTF-8 multibyte string did not take surrogate pairs into account.
[bug present since at least grep-2.6, though the segfault is new with 2.13]
grep -E would segfault when given a regexp like '([^.]*[M]){1,2}'
for any multibyte character M. [bug introduced in grep-2.6, which would
segfault, but 2.7 and 2.8 had no problem, and 2.9 through 2.14 would
hit a failed assertion. ]
grep -F would get stuck in an infinite loop when given a search string
that is an invalid byte sequence in the current locale and that matches
the bytes of the input twice on a line. Now grep fails with exit status 1.
grep -P could misbehave. While multi-byte mode is only supported by PCRE
with UTF-8 locales, grep did not activate it. This would cause failures
to match multibyte characters against some regular expressions, especially
those including the '.' or '\p' metacharacters.
** 2.15 New features
grep -P can now use a just-in-time compiler to greatly speed up matches,
This feature is transparent to the user; no flag is required to enable
it. It is only available if the corresponding support in the PCRE
library is detected when grep is compiled.

The fix to make \s and \S work with multi-byte white space broke
the use of each shortcut whenever followed by a repetition operator.
For example, \s*, \s+, \s? and \s{3} would all malfunction in a
multi-byte locale. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
The fix to make grep -P work better with UTF-8 made it possible for
grep to evoke a larger set of PCRE errors, some of which could trigger
an abort. E.g., this would abort:
printf '\x82'|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P y
Now grep handles arbitrary PCRE errors. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
Handle very long lines (2GiB and longer) on systems with a deficient
read system call.
** 2.15 Bug fixes
grep's \s and \S failed to work with multi-byte white space characters.
For example, \s would fail to match a non-breaking space, and this
would print nothing: printf '\xc2\xa0' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '\s'
A related bug is that \S would mistakenly match an invalid multibyte
character. For example, the following would match:
printf '\x82\n' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '^\S$'
[bug present since grep-2.6]
grep -i would segfault on systems using UTF-16-based wchar_t (Cygwin)
when converting an input string containing certain 4-byte UTF-8
sequences to lower case. The conversions to wchar_t and back to
a UTF-8 multibyte string did not take surrogate pairs into account.
[bug present since at least grep-2.6, though the segfault is new with 2.13]
grep -E would segfault when given a regexp like '([^.]*[M]){1,2}'
for any multibyte character M. [bug introduced in grep-2.6, which would
segfault, but 2.7 and 2.8 had no problem, and 2.9 through 2.14 would
hit a failed assertion. ]
grep -F would get stuck in an infinite loop when given a search string
that is an invalid byte sequence in the current locale and that matches
the bytes of the input twice on a line. Now grep fails with exit status 1.
grep -P could misbehave. While multi-byte mode is only supported by PCRE
with UTF-8 locales, grep did not activate it. This would cause failures
to match multibyte characters against some regular expressions, especially
those including the '.' or '\p' metacharacters.
** 2.15 New features
grep -P can now use a just-in-time compiler to greatly speed up matches,
This feature is transparent to the user; no flag is required to enable
it. It is only available if the corresponding support in the PCRE
library is detected when grep is compiled.

| H A D | types.h | 51ddd709 Fri Oct 10 21:33:40 GMT 2014 John Marino <draco@marino.st> Complete upgrade of gnu grep 2.14 => 2.20
** 2.20 Bug fixes
grep --max-count=N FILE would no longer stop reading after Nth match.
I.e., while grep would still print the correct output, it would continue
reading until end of input, and hence, potentially forever.
[bug introduced in grep-2.19]
A command like echo aa|grep -E 'a(b$|c$)' would mistakenly
report the input as a matched line. [bug introduced in grep-2.19]
** 2.20 Changes in behavior
grep --exclude-dir='FOO/' now excludes the directory FOO.
Previously, the trailing slash meant the option was ineffective.
** 2.19 Improvements
Performance has improved, typically by 10% and in some cases by a
factor of 200. However, performance of grep -P in UTF-8 locales has
gotten worse as part of the fix for the crashes mentioned below.
** 2.19 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [a-[.z.]], and no longer
mishandles patterns like [^a] in locales that have multicharacter
collating sequences so that [^a] can match a string of two characters.
grep no longer mishandles an empty pattern at the end of a pattern list.
[bug introduced in grep-2.5]
grep -C NUM now outputs separators consistently even when NUM is zero,
and similarly for grep -A NUM and grep -B NUM.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -f no longer mishandles patterns containing NUL bytes.
[bug introduced in grep-2.11]
Plain grep, grep -E, and grep -F now treat encoding errors in patterns
the same way the GNU regular expression matcher treats them, with respect
to whether the errors can match parts of multibyte characters in data.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -w no longer mishandles a potential match adjacent to a letter that
takes up two or more bytes in a multibyte encoding.
Similarly, the patterns '\<', '\>', '\b', and '\B' no longer
mishandle word-boundary matches in multibyte locales.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -P now reports an error and exits when given invalid UTF-8 data.
Previously it was unreliable, and sometimes crashed or looped.
[bug introduced in grep-2.16]
grep -P now works with -w and -x and backreferences. Before,
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\1' would fail to match, yet
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\2' would match.
grep -Pw now works like grep -w in that the matched string has to be
preceded and followed by non-word components or the beginning and end
of the line (as opposed to word boundaries before). Before, this
echo a@@a| grep -Pw @@ would match, yet this
echo a@@a| grep -w @@ would not. Now, they both fail to match,
per the documentation on how grep's -w works.
grep -i no longer mishandles patterns containing titlecase characters.
For example, in a locale containing the titlecase character
'Lj' (U+01C8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J),
'grep -i Lj' now matches both 'LJ' (U+01C7 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ)
and 'lj' (U+01C9 LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ).
** 2.18 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [^^-~] in unibyte locales.
[bug introduced in grep-2.8]
grep -i in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale could be up to 200 times slower
than in 2.16. [bug introduced in grep-2.17]
** 2.17 Improvements
grep -i in a multibyte locale is now typically 10 times faster
for patterns that do not contain \ or [.
grep (without -i) in a multibyte locale is now up to 7 times faster
when processing many matched lines.

mishandles patterns like [^a] in locales that have multicharacter
collating sequences so that [^a] can match a string of two characters.
grep no longer mishandles an empty pattern at the end of a pattern list.
[bug introduced in grep-2.5]
grep -C NUM now outputs separators consistently even when NUM is zero,
and similarly for grep -A NUM and grep -B NUM.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -f no longer mishandles patterns containing NUL bytes.
[bug introduced in grep-2.11]
Plain grep, grep -E, and grep -F now treat encoding errors in patterns
the same way the GNU regular expression matcher treats them, with respect
to whether the errors can match parts of multibyte characters in data.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -w no longer mishandles a potential match adjacent to a letter that
takes up two or more bytes in a multibyte encoding.
Similarly, the patterns '\<', '\>', '\b', and '\B' no longer
mishandle word-boundary matches in multibyte locales.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -P now reports an error and exits when given invalid UTF-8 data.
Previously it was unreliable, and sometimes crashed or looped.
[bug introduced in grep-2.16]
grep -P now works with -w and -x and backreferences. Before,
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\1' would fail to match, yet
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\2' would match.
grep -Pw now works like grep -w in that the matched string has to be
preceded and followed by non-word components or the beginning and end
of the line (as opposed to word boundaries before). Before, this
echo a@@a| grep -Pw @@ would match, yet this
echo a@@a| grep -w @@ would not. Now, they both fail to match,
per the documentation on how grep's -w works.
grep -i no longer mishandles patterns containing titlecase characters.
For example, in a locale containing the titlecase character
'Lj' (U+01C8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J),
'grep -i Lj' now matches both 'LJ' (U+01C7 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ)
and 'lj' (U+01C9 LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ).
** 2.18 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [^^-~] in unibyte locales.
[bug introduced in grep-2.8]
grep -i in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale could be up to 200 times slower
than in 2.16. [bug introduced in grep-2.17]
** 2.17 Improvements
grep -i in a multibyte locale is now typically 10 times faster
for patterns that do not contain \ or [.
grep (without -i) in a multibyte locale is now up to 7 times faster
when processing many matched lines.
** 2.16 Bug fixes
The fix to make \s and \S work with multi-byte white space broke
the use of each shortcut whenever followed by a repetition operator.
For example, \s*, \s+, \s? and \s{3} would all malfunction in a
multi-byte locale. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
The fix to make grep -P work better with UTF-8 made it possible for
grep to evoke a larger set of PCRE errors, some of which could trigger
an abort. E.g., this would abort:
printf '\x82'|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P y
Now grep handles arbitrary PCRE errors. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
Handle very long lines (2GiB and longer) on systems with a deficient
read system call.
** 2.15 Bug fixes
grep's \s and \S failed to work with multi-byte white space characters.
For example, \s would fail to match a non-breaking space, and this
would print nothing: printf '\xc2\xa0' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '\s'
A related bug is that \S would mistakenly match an invalid multibyte
character. For example, the following would match:
printf '\x82\n' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '^\S$'
[bug present since grep-2.6]
grep -i would segfault on systems using UTF-16-based wchar_t (Cygwin)
when converting an input string containing certain 4-byte UTF-8
sequences to lower case. The conversions to wchar_t and back to
a UTF-8 multibyte string did not take surrogate pairs into account.
[bug present since at least grep-2.6, though the segfault is new with 2.13]
grep -E would segfault when given a regexp like '([^.]*[M]){1,2}'
for any multibyte character M. [bug introduced in grep-2.6, which would
segfault, but 2.7 and 2.8 had no problem, and 2.9 through 2.14 would
hit a failed assertion. ]
grep -F would get stuck in an infinite loop when given a search string
that is an invalid byte sequence in the current locale and that matches
the bytes of the input twice on a line. Now grep fails with exit status 1.
grep -P could misbehave. While multi-byte mode is only supported by PCRE
with UTF-8 locales, grep did not activate it. This would cause failures
to match multibyte characters against some regular expressions, especially
those including the '.' or '\p' metacharacters.
** 2.15 New features
grep -P can now use a just-in-time compiler to greatly speed up matches,
This feature is transparent to the user; no flag is required to enable
it. It is only available if the corresponding support in the PCRE
library is detected when grep is compiled.

grep -i would segfault on systems using UTF-16-based wchar_t (Cygwin)
when converting an input string containing certain 4-byte UTF-8
sequences to lower case. The conversions to wchar_t and back to
a UTF-8 multibyte string did not take surrogate pairs into account.
[bug present since at least grep-2.6, though the segfault is new with 2.13]
grep -E would segfault when given a regexp like '([^.]*[M]){1,2}'
for any multibyte character M. [bug introduced in grep-2.6, which would
segfault, but 2.7 and 2.8 had no problem, and 2.9 through 2.14 would
hit a failed assertion. ]
grep -F would get stuck in an infinite loop when given a search string
that is an invalid byte sequence in the current locale and that matches
the bytes of the input twice on a line. Now grep fails with exit status 1.
grep -P could misbehave. While multi-byte mode is only supported by PCRE
with UTF-8 locales, grep did not activate it. This would cause failures
to match multibyte characters against some regular expressions, especially
those including the '.' or '\p' metacharacters.
** 2.15 New features
grep -P can now use a just-in-time compiler to greatly speed up matches,
This feature is transparent to the user; no flag is required to enable
it. It is only available if the corresponding support in the PCRE
library is detected when grep is compiled.

| H A D | stdio.h | 51ddd709 Fri Oct 10 21:33:40 GMT 2014 John Marino <draco@marino.st> Complete upgrade of gnu grep 2.14 => 2.20
** 2.20 Bug fixes
grep --max-count=N FILE would no longer stop reading after Nth match.
I.e., while grep would still print the correct output, it would continue
reading until end of input, and hence, potentially forever.
[bug introduced in grep-2.19]
A command like echo aa|grep -E 'a(b$|c$)' would mistakenly
report the input as a matched line. [bug introduced in grep-2.19]
** 2.20 Changes in behavior
grep --exclude-dir='FOO/' now excludes the directory FOO.
Previously, the trailing slash meant the option was ineffective.
** 2.19 Improvements
Performance has improved, typically by 10% and in some cases by a
factor of 200. However, performance of grep -P in UTF-8 locales has
gotten worse as part of the fix for the crashes mentioned below.
** 2.19 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [a-[.z.]], and no longer
mishandles patterns like [^a] in locales that have multicharacter
collating sequences so that [^a] can match a string of two characters.
grep no longer mishandles an empty pattern at the end of a pattern list.
[bug introduced in grep-2.5]
grep -C NUM now outputs separators consistently even when NUM is zero,
and similarly for grep -A NUM and grep -B NUM.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -f no longer mishandles patterns containing NUL bytes.
[bug introduced in grep-2.11]
Plain grep, grep -E, and grep -F now treat encoding errors in patterns
the same way the GNU regular expression matcher treats them, with respect
to whether the errors can match parts of multibyte characters in data.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -w no longer mishandles a potential match adjacent to a letter that
takes up two or more bytes in a multibyte encoding.
Similarly, the patterns '\<', '\>', '\b', and '\B' no longer
mishandle word-boundary matches in multibyte locales.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -P now reports an error and exits when given invalid UTF-8 data.
Previously it was unreliable, and sometimes crashed or looped.
[bug introduced in grep-2.16]
grep -P now works with -w and -x and backreferences. Before,
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\1' would fail to match, yet
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\2' would match.
grep -Pw now works like grep -w in that the matched string has to be
preceded and followed by non-word components or the beginning and end
of the line (as opposed to word boundaries before). Before, this
echo a@@a| grep -Pw @@ would match, yet this
echo a@@a| grep -w @@ would not. Now, they both fail to match,
per the documentation on how grep's -w works.
grep -i no longer mishandles patterns containing titlecase characters.
For example, in a locale containing the titlecase character
'Lj' (U+01C8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J),
'grep -i Lj' now matches both 'LJ' (U+01C7 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ)
and 'lj' (U+01C9 LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ).
** 2.18 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [^^-~] in unibyte locales.
[bug introduced in grep-2.8]
grep -i in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale could be up to 200 times slower
than in 2.16. [bug introduced in grep-2.17]
** 2.17 Improvements
grep -i in a multibyte locale is now typically 10 times faster
for patterns that do not contain \ or [.
grep (without -i) in a multibyte locale is now up to 7 times faster
when processing many matched lines.
** 2.16 Bug fixes
The fix to make \s and \S work with multi-byte white space broke
the use of each shortcut whenever followed by a repetition operator.
For example, \s*, \s+, \s? and \s{3} would all malfunction in a
multi-byte locale. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
The fix to make grep -P work better with UTF-8 made it possible for
grep to evoke a larger set of PCRE errors, some of which could trigger
an abort. E.g., this would abort:
printf '\x82'|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P y
Now grep handles arbitrary PCRE errors. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
Handle very long lines (2GiB and longer) on systems with a deficient
read system call.
** 2.15 Bug fixes
grep's \s and \S failed to work with multi-byte white space characters.
For example, \s would fail to match a non-breaking space, and this
would print nothing: printf '\xc2\xa0' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '\s'
A related bug is that \S would mistakenly match an invalid multibyte
character. For example, the following would match:
printf '\x82\n' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '^\S$'
[bug present since grep-2.6]
grep -i would segfault on systems using UTF-16-based wchar_t (Cygwin)

echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\2' would match.
grep -Pw now works like grep -w in that the matched string has to be
preceded and followed by non-word components or the beginning and end
of the line (as opposed to word boundaries before). Before, this
echo a@@a| grep -Pw @@ would match, yet this
echo a@@a| grep -w @@ would not. Now, they both fail to match,
per the documentation on how grep's -w works.
grep -i no longer mishandles patterns containing titlecase characters.
For example, in a locale containing the titlecase character
'Lj' (U+01C8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J),
'grep -i Lj' now matches both 'LJ' (U+01C7 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ)
and 'lj' (U+01C9 LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ).
** 2.18 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [^^-~] in unibyte locales.
[bug introduced in grep-2.8]
grep -i in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale could be up to 200 times slower
than in 2.16. [bug introduced in grep-2.17]
** 2.17 Improvements
grep -i in a multibyte locale is now typically 10 times faster
for patterns that do not contain \ or [.
grep (without -i) in a multibyte locale is now up to 7 times faster
when processing many matched lines.
** 2.16 Bug fixes
The fix to make \s and \S work with multi-byte white space broke
the use of each shortcut whenever followed by a repetition operator.
For example, \s*, \s+, \s? and \s{3} would all malfunction in a
multi-byte locale. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
The fix to make grep -P work better with UTF-8 made it possible for
grep to evoke a larger set of PCRE errors, some of which could trigger
an abort. E.g., this would abort:
printf '\x82'|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P y
Now grep handles arbitrary PCRE errors. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
Handle very long lines (2GiB and longer) on systems with a deficient
read system call.
** 2.15 Bug fixes
grep's \s and \S failed to work with multi-byte white space characters.
For example, \s would fail to match a non-breaking space, and this
would print nothing: printf '\xc2\xa0' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '\s'
A related bug is that \S would mistakenly match an invalid multibyte
character. For example, the following would match:
printf '\x82\n' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '^\S$'
[bug present since grep-2.6]
grep -i would segfault on systems using UTF-16-based wchar_t (Cygwin)
when converting an input string containing certain 4-byte UTF-8
sequences to lower case. The conversions to wchar_t and back to
a UTF-8 multibyte string did not take surrogate pairs into account.
[bug present since at least grep-2.6, though the segfault is new with 2.13]
grep -E would segfault when given a regexp like '([^.]*[M]){1,2}'
for any multibyte character M. [bug introduced in grep-2.6, which would
segfault, but 2.7 and 2.8 had no problem, and 2.9 through 2.14 would
hit a failed assertion. ]
grep -F would get stuck in an infinite loop when given a search string
that is an invalid byte sequence in the current locale and that matches
the bytes of the input twice on a line. Now grep fails with exit status 1.
grep -P could misbehave. While multi-byte mode is only supported by PCRE
with UTF-8 locales, grep did not activate it. This would cause failures
to match multibyte characters against some regular expressions, especially
those including the '.' or '\p' metacharacters.
** 2.15 New features
grep -P can now use a just-in-time compiler to greatly speed up matches,
This feature is transparent to the user; no flag is required to enable
it. It is only available if the corresponding support in the PCRE
library is detected when grep is compiled.

This feature is transparent to the user; no flag is required to enable
it. It is only available if the corresponding support in the PCRE
library is detected when grep is compiled.

| H A D | getopt.h | diff 51ddd709 Fri Oct 10 21:33:40 GMT 2014 John Marino <draco@marino.st> Complete upgrade of gnu grep 2.14 => 2.20
** 2.20 Bug fixes
grep --max-count=N FILE would no longer stop reading after Nth match.
I.e., while grep would still print the correct output, it would continue
reading until end of input, and hence, potentially forever.
[bug introduced in grep-2.19]
A command like echo aa|grep -E 'a(b$|c$)' would mistakenly
report the input as a matched line. [bug introduced in grep-2.19]
** 2.20 Changes in behavior
grep --exclude-dir='FOO/' now excludes the directory FOO.
Previously, the trailing slash meant the option was ineffective.
** 2.19 Improvements
Performance has improved, typically by 10% and in some cases by a
factor of 200. However, performance of grep -P in UTF-8 locales has
gotten worse as part of the fix for the crashes mentioned below.
** 2.19 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [a-[.z.]], and no longer
mishandles patterns like [^a] in locales that have multicharacter
collating sequences so that [^a] can match a string of two characters.
grep no longer mishandles an empty pattern at the end of a pattern list.
[bug introduced in grep-2.5]
grep -C NUM now outputs separators consistently even when NUM is zero,
and similarly for grep -A NUM and grep -B NUM.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -f no longer mishandles patterns containing NUL bytes.
[bug introduced in grep-2.11]
Plain grep, grep -E, and grep -F now treat encoding errors in patterns
the same way the GNU regular expression matcher treats them, with respect
to whether the errors can match parts of multibyte characters in data.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -w no longer mishandles a potential match adjacent to a letter that
takes up two or more bytes in a multibyte encoding.
Similarly, the patterns '\<', '\>', '\b', and '\B' no longer
mishandle word-boundary matches in multibyte locales.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
grep -P now reports an error and exits when given invalid UTF-8 data.
Previously it was unreliable, and sometimes crashed or looped.
[bug introduced in grep-2.16]
grep -P now works with -w and -x and backreferences. Before,
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\1' would fail to match, yet
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\2' would match.
grep -Pw now works like grep -w in that the matched string has to be
preceded and followed by non-word components or the beginning and end
of the line (as opposed to word boundaries before). Before, this
echo a@@a| grep -Pw @@ would match, yet this
echo a@@a| grep -w @@ would not. Now, they both fail to match,
per the documentation on how grep's -w works.
grep -i no longer mishandles patterns containing titlecase characters.
For example, in a locale containing the titlecase character
'Lj' (U+01C8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J),
'grep -i Lj' now matches both 'LJ' (U+01C7 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ)
and 'lj' (U+01C9 LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ).
** 2.18 Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles patterns like [^^-~] in unibyte locales.
[bug introduced in grep-2.8]
grep -i in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale could be up to 200 times slower
than in 2.16. [bug introduced in grep-2.17]
** 2.17 Improvements
grep -i in a multibyte locale is now typically 10 times faster
for patterns that do not contain \ or [.
grep (without -i) in a multibyte locale is now up to 7 times faster
when processing many matched lines.
** 2.16 Bug fixes
The fix to make \s and \S work with multi-byte white space broke
the use of each shortcut whenever followed by a repetition operator.
For example, \s*, \s+, \s? and \s{3} would all malfunction in a
multi-byte locale. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
The fix to make grep -P work better with UTF-8 made it possible for
grep to evoke a larger set of PCRE errors, some of which could trigger
an abort. E.g., this would abort:
printf '\x82'|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P y
Now grep handles arbitrary PCRE errors. [bug introduced in grep-2.15]
Handle very long lines (2GiB and longer) on systems with a deficient
read system call.
** 2.15 Bug fixes
grep's \s and \S failed to work with multi-byte white space characters.
For example, \s would fail to match a non-breaking space, and this
would print nothing: printf '\xc2\xa0' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '\s'
A related bug is that \S would mistakenly match an invalid multibyte
character. For example, the following would match:
printf '\x82\n' | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep '^\S$'
[bug present since grep-2.6]
grep -i would segfault on systems using UTF-16-based wchar_t (Cygwin)
when converting an input string containing certain 4-byte UTF-8
sequences to lower case. The conversions to wchar_t and back to
a UTF-8 multibyte string did not take surrogate pairs into account.
[bug present since at least grep-2.6, though the segfault is new with 2.13]
grep -E would segfault when given a regexp like '([^.]*[M]){1,2}'
for any multibyte character M. [bug introduced in grep-2.6, which would
segfault, but 2.7 and 2.8 had no problem, and 2.9 through 2.14 would
hit a failed assertion. ]
grep -F would get stuck in an infinite loop when given a search string
that is an invalid byte sequence in the current locale and that matches
the bytes of the input twice on a line. Now grep fails with exit status 1.
grep -P could misbehave. While multi-byte mode is only supported by PCRE
with UTF-8 locales, grep did not activate it. This would cause failures
to match multibyte characters against some regular expressions, especially
those including the '.' or '\p' metacharacters.
** 2.15 New features
grep -P can now use a just-in-time compiler to greatly speed up matches,
This feature is transparent to the user; no flag is required to enable
it. It is only available if the corresponding support in the PCRE
library is detected when grep is compiled.
