 Clearly we need to go further when we are dealing with UTF8.
 I'm not sure what a sane limit would be though.

[BUGS] BUG #6457: Regexp not processing word (with special characters on ends) correctly (UTF-8)

2012-02-14 Thread albert . cieszkowski
The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:  6457
Logged by:  Albert Cieszkowski
Email address:  albert.cieszkow...@cc.com.pl
PostgreSQL version: 9.0.6
Operating system:   CentOS 5.x
Description:

OS, base and client encoding UTF-8:

peimp= select 'Świnoujście' ~* '\mŚwinoujście\M';
 ?column?
--
 f
(1 row)

peimp= select 'Świnoujście' ~* '\AŚwinoujście\Z';
 ?column?
--
 t
(1 row)

but:

peimp= select 'Mróz' ~* '\mmróZ\M';
 ?column?
--
 t
(1 row)

peimp= select 'Mróz' ~* '\AmróZ\Z';
 ?column?
--
 t
(1 row)

I believe it is connected with bug #5766 and #3433.

Hello Tom,

Every lc_x value is pl_PL.UTF8 (corresponding to the word's
language).
Database was created with --locale=pl_PL.UTF8.
OS (CentOS 5.x) uses: en_US.UTF-8

Best regards,
Albert Cieszkowski

Oh, I see the reason for this: the code in cclass() in regc_locale.c
doesn't go further up than U+00FF, so no codes above that will be
thought to be letters (or members of any other character class).

(It would be nice if there were a more efficient way to get this
information than laboriously iterating through all the possible
character codes.  It doesn't look like we're even trying to cache
the results, ick.)
