Regex pattern matching with wrong string

[adarshanto@…]

Hi, I am comparing the regular expression "[0-9]+" with the string "1.2" I am expecting the comparison to be a failure as part of the following check in ConfigReader.cpp

if (false == var.CheckValue(tValue)) {

throw(FormatDisallowed(name, var.m_Allowed, tValue));

}

However, looks like CheckValue() is returning a success -> which is incorrect. I added a print after the checkValue to verify it (which got hit)

Same is the case for "[0-9]+" and "123abc" Please let me know if I am missing something OR is it a known issue.

thanks, Adarsh.

Tried using gdb. Results follows: ========================

(gdb) p var.m_Allowed $12 = {

static npos = 4294967295, _M_dataplus = {

<std::allocator<char>> = {

<gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},

members of std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::_Alloc_hider: _M_p = 0x9b98f14 "[0-9]+"

}

} (gdb) p tValue $13 = {

static npos = 4294967295, _M_dataplus = {

<std::allocator<char>> = {

<gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},

members of std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::_Alloc_hider: _M_p = 0x9ba54d4 "1.2"

}

}

Did some more digging and found out that this is not a bug.

Sorry for the false alarm
