New submission from T Trindad: The following code "hangs" the interpreter:
import re re.search(r"/\*\*((?:[^*]+|\*[^/])*)\*/", """ /** Copy Constructor **/ private EvaluationContext (EvaluationContext base) {""") Changing the regex to r"/\*\*((?:[^*]|\*[^/])*)\*/" makes it work normally. ---------- components: Regular Expressions messages: 298705 nosy: T Trindad, ezio.melotti, mrabarnett priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Regular expression "hangs" interpreter type: crash versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30973> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
