Regex syntax parsing of unicode code points is incorrect #854
Comments
Please provide an example. Make sure the example include the desired match semantics. That is, your example should include a call to |
Also, in addition to an example, please describe a use case in which you would use this new feature. |
Due to inactivity from the OP, it's hard to tell what the actual issue here is. Now, looking at the docs, the regex crate does use the words "Unicode code point" when the more precisely correct terminology is "Unicode scalar value." It overall doesn't make sense for the regex crate to support literally all code points since it operates in UTF-8 land. So I'll mark this as a doc bug, although I don't think there is a big problem with saying Unicode code point, as it is less obscure than Unicode scalar value. |
This makes it clearer that the regex engine works by *logically* treating a haystack as a sequence of codepoints. Or more specifically, Unicode scalar values. Fixes #854

1.8.0 (2023-04-20) ================== This is a sizeable release that will be soon followed by another sizeable release. Both of them will combined close over 40 existing issues and PRs. This first release, despite its size, essentially represent preparatory work for the second release, which will be even bigger. Namely, this release: * Increases the MSRV to Rust 1.60.0, which was released about 1 year ago. * Upgrades its dependency on `aho-corasick` to the recently release 1.0 version. * Upgrades its dependency on `regex-syntax` to the simultaneously released `0.7` version. The changes to `regex-syntax` principally revolve around a rewrite of its literal extraction code and a number of simplifications and optimizations to its high-level intermediate representation (HIR). The second release, which will follow ~shortly after the release above, will contain a soup-to-nuts rewrite of every regex engine. This will be done by bringing [`regex-automata`](https://github.com/BurntSushi/regex-automata) into this repository, and then changing the `regex` crate to be nothing but an API shim layer on top of `regex-automata`'s API. These tandem releases are the culmination of about 3 years of on-and-off work that [began in earnest in March 2020](#656). Because of the scale of changes involved in these releases, I would love to hear about your experience. Especially if you notice undocumented changes in behavior or performance changes (positive *or* negative). Most changes in the first release are listed below. For more details, please see the commit log, which reflects a linear and decently documented history of all changes. New features: * [FEATURE #501](#501): Permit many more characters to be escaped, even if they have no significance. More specifically, any ASCII character except for `[0-9A-Za-z<>]` can now be escaped. Also, a new routine, `is_escapeable_character`, has been added to `regex-syntax` to query whether a character is escapeable or not. * [FEATURE #547](#547): Add `Regex::captures_at`. This filles a hole in the API, but doesn't otherwise introduce any new expressive power. * [FEATURE #595](#595): Capture group names are now Unicode-aware. They can now begin with either a `_` or any "alphabetic" codepoint. After the first codepoint, subsequent codepoints can be any sequence of alpha-numeric codepoints, along with `_`, `.`, `[` and `]`. Note that replacement syntax has not changed. * [FEATURE #810](#810): Add `Match::is_empty` and `Match::len` APIs. * [FEATURE #905](#905): Add an `impl Default for RegexSet`, with the default being the empty set. * [FEATURE #908](#908): A new method, `Regex::static_captures_len`, has been added which returns the number of capture groups in the pattern if and only if every possible match always contains the same number of matching groups. * [FEATURE #955](#955): Named captures can now be written as `(?<name>re)` in addition to `(?P<name>re)`. * FEATURE: `regex-syntax` now supports empty character classes. * FEATURE: `regex-syntax` now has an optional `std` feature. (This will come to `regex` in the second release.) * FEATURE: The `Hir` type in `regex-syntax` has had a number of simplifications made to it. * FEATURE: `regex-syntax` has support for a new `R` flag for enabling CRLF mode. This will be supported in `regex` proper in the second release. * FEATURE: `regex-syntax` now has proper support for "regex that never matches" via `Hir::fail()`. * FEATURE: The `hir::literal` module of `regex-syntax` has been completely re-worked. It now has more documentation, examples and advice. * FEATURE: The `allow_invalid_utf8` option in `regex-syntax` has been renamed to `utf8`, and the meaning of the boolean has been flipped. Performance improvements: * PERF: The upgrade to `aho-corasick 1.0` may improve performance in some cases. It's difficult to characterize exactly which patterns this might impact, but if there are a small number of longish (>= 4 bytes) prefix literals, then it might be faster than before. Bug fixes: * [BUG #514](#514): Improve `Debug` impl for `Match` so that it doesn't show the entire haystack. * BUGS [#516](#516), [#731](#731): Fix a number of issues with printing `Hir` values as regex patterns. * [BUG #610](#610): Add explicit example of `foo|bar` in the regex syntax docs. * [BUG #625](#625): Clarify that `SetMatches::len` does not (regretably) refer to the number of matches in the set. * [BUG #660](#660): Clarify "verbose mode" in regex syntax documentation. * BUG [#738](#738), [#950](#950): Fix `CaptureLocations::get` so that it never panics. * [BUG #747](#747): Clarify documentation for `Regex::shortest_match`. * [BUG #835](#835): Fix `\p{Sc}` so that it is equivalent to `\p{Currency_Symbol}`. * [BUG #846](#846): Add more clarifying documentation to the `CompiledTooBig` error variant. * [BUG #854](#854): Clarify that `regex::Regex` searches as if the haystack is a sequence of Unicode scalar values. * [BUG #884](#884): Replace `__Nonexhaustive` variants with `#[non_exhaustive]` attribute. * [BUG #893](#893): Optimize case folding since it can get quite slow in some pathological cases. * [BUG #895](#895): Reject `(?-u:\W)` in `regex::Regex` APIs. * [BUG #942](#942): Add a missing `void` keyword to indicate "no parameters" in C API. * [BUG #965](#965): Fix `\p{Lc}` so that it is equivalent to `\p{Cased_Letter}`. * [BUG #975](#975): Clarify documentation for `\pX` syntax.

What version of regex are you using?
Latest
If it isn't the latest version, then please upgrade and check whether the bug
is still present.
Describe the bug at a high level.
Because regex_syntax is lazily using
char::from_u32
not all valid unicode code points are parsed, and this prevents valid regex's from compiling.Give a brief description of the actual problem you're observing.
Rust defines char as a "Unicode scalar value" and explicitly states that it's similar but not the same as a unicode code point.
The parser is supposed to extract all code points as documented above the function:
https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/master/regex-syntax/src/ast/parse.rs#L1611
What is the expected behavior?
I expect this crate to include custom logic for validating code points, instead relying on
char::from_u32
which omits valid code points/surrogate values because they aren't considered scalar values.Javascript and several other regex engines can handle these fine.
