Subject: [PATCH] improve pcre error message
Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2024 10:06:07 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240309100607.avfimrgvlaleipjf@chazelas.org> (raw)

$ pcre_compile .
$ pcre_match $'\xff'
pcre_match: error in pcre matching for /\M-^?/: UTF-8 error: illegal byte (0xfe or 0xff)
$ pcre_match $'\x87'
pcre_match: error in pcre matching for /*/: UTF-8 error: isolated byte with 0x80 bit set

Those /.../ are misleading as it's the subject we're talking
of here, not the regexp and there's a missing metafy (or
unwanted unmetafy) for the argument passed to zwarn (another of
those moles that need to be whacked).

The patch below changes it to:

$ pcre_match $'\xff'
pcre_match: error in pcre matching for \M-^?: UTF-8 error: illegal byte (0xfe or 0xff)
$ pcre_match $'\x87'
pcre_match: error in pcre matching for \M-^G: UTF-8 error: isolated byte with 0x80 bit set
