-- fixed negative lookbehind to work correctly at the beginning
of the target string (bug #117242)
-- improved syntax check; you can no longer refer to a group
inside itself (bug #110866)
This was a funny one! The test very subtly relied on 1.5.2's
behavior of treating "\x%" as "\x%", i.e. ignoring that was an
\x escape that didn't make sense. But /F implemented PEP 223,
which causes 2.0 to raise an exception on the bad escape.
Fixed by merely making the 3 such strings of this kind into
raw strings.
the pattern must have a fixed width.
- got rid of array-module dependencies; the match pro-
gram is now stored inside the pattern object, rather
than in an extra string buffer.
- cleaned up a various of potential leaks, api abuses,
and other minors in the engine module.
- use mal's new isalnum macro, rather than my own work-
around.
- untabified test_sre.py. seems like I removed a couple
of trailing spaces in the process...
