std::regex currently allows invalid bracket ranges such as [\w-a] which
are only allowed by ECMAScript when in web browser compatibility mode.
It should be an error, because the start of the range is a character
class, not a single character. The current implementation of
_Compiler::_M_expression_term does not provide a way to reject this,
because we only remember a previous character, not whether we just
processed a character class (or collating symbol etc.)
This patch replaces the pair<bool, CharT> used to emulate
optional<CharT> with a custom class closer to pair<tribool,CharT>. That
allows us to track three states, so that we can tell when we've just
seen a character class.
With this additional state the code in _M_expression_term for processing
the _S_token_bracket_dash can be improved to correctly reject the [\w-a]
case, without regressing for valid cases such as [\w-] and [----].
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
PR libstdc++/102447
* include/bits/regex_compiler.h (_Compiler::_BracketState): New
class.
(_Compiler::_BrackeyMatcher): New alias template.
(_Compiler::_M_expression_term): Change pair<bool, CharT>
parameter to _BracketState. Process first character for
ECMAScript syntax as well as POSIX.
* include/bits/regex_compiler.tcc
(_Compiler::_M_insert_bracket_matcher): Pass _BracketState.
(_Compiler::_M_expression_term): Use _BracketState to store
state between calls. Improve handling of dashes in ranges.
* testsuite/28_regex/algorithms/regex_match/cstring_bracket_01.cc:
Add more tests for ranges containing dashes. Check invalid
ranges with character class at the beginning.
