6735	Regex pattern matching with wrong string	adarshanto@…	John Maddock	"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 = {
