Problem: Segfault when pattern with \z() is very slow.
Solution: Check for NULL regprog. Add "nfa_fail" to test_override() to be
able to test this. Fix that 'searchhl' resets called_emsg.
Problem: The new regexp engine does not give an error for using a back
reference where it is not allowed. (Dominique Pelle)
Solution: Check the back reference like the old engine. (closes#1774)
Problem: When 'hlsearch' is set and matching with the last search pattern
is very slow, Vim becomes unusable. Cannot quit search by
pressing CTRL-C.
Solution: When the search times out set a flag and don't try again. Check
for timeout and CTRL-C in NFA loop that adds states.
Problem: Using a function pointer instead of the actual function, which we
know.
Solution: Change mb_ functions to utf_ functions when already checked for
Unicode. (Dominique Pelle, closes#1582)
Problem: Character classes are not well tested. They can differ between
platforms.
Solution: Add tests. In the documentation make clear which classes depend
on what library function. Only use :cntrl: and :graph: for ASCII.
(Kazunobu Kuriyama, Dominique Pelle, closes#1560)
Update the documentation.
Problem: Cannot make Vim fail on an internal error.
Solution: Add IEMSG() and IEMSG2(). (Domenique Pelle) Avoid reporting an
internal error without mentioning where.
Problem: Using function() with a name will find another function when it is
redefined.
Solution: Add funcref(). Refer to lambda using a partial. Fix several
reference counting issues.
Problem: Using submatch() in a lambda passed to substitute() is verbose.
Solution: Use a static list and pass it as an optional argument to the
function. Fix memory leak.
Problem: Some character classes may differ between systems. On OS/X the
regexp test fails.
Solution: Make this less dependent on the system. (idea by Kazunobu Kuriyama)
Problem: Leaking memory when there is a cycle involving a job and a
partial.
Solution: Add a copyID to job and channel. Set references in items referred
by them. Go through all jobs and channels to find unreferenced
items. Also, decrement reference counts when garbage collecting.
Problem: Searching for a character matches an illegal byte and causes
invalid memory access. (Dominique Pelle)
Solution: Do not match an invalid byte when search for a character in a
string. Fix equivalence classes using negative numbers, which
result in illegal bytes.
Problem: When there are illegal utf-8 characters the old regexp engine may
go past the end of a string.
Solution: Only advance to the end of the string. (Dominique Pelle)
Problem: Crash when searching for "x\{0,90000}". (Dominique Pelle)
Solution: Bail out from the NFA engine when the max limit is much higher
than the min limit.
Problem: With some regexp patterns the NFA engine uses many states and
becomes very slow. To the user it looks like Vim freezes.
Solution: When the number of states reaches a limit fall back to the old
engine. (Christian Brabandt)
Problem: Searching for "a" does not match accented "a" with new regexp
engine, does match with old engine. (David Bürgin)
"ca" does not match "ca" with accented "a" with either engine.
Solution: Change the old engine, check for following composing character
also for single-byte patterns.
