Hi,
Please help review the change for JDK-8176029
issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8176029
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8176029/webrev
It appears the API doc for \R is correct, instead the implementation is
buggy when
dealing with sequence "\r\n" (u+000du+000a). The existing implementation
fails to
backtrack to match \r and then next.match() when the attempt \r\n +
next.match()
failed. As a simple obvious sample both following should return true.
The existing
implementation returns false for the second.
"\r\n".match("\\R")
"\r\n".match("\\R\\n")
Thanks,
Sherman
