Subject: [ruby-core:43606] [ruby-trunk - Bug #4044] Regex matching errors when using \W character class and /i option


Issue #4044 has been updated by mrkn (Kenta Murata).


I think this is bug:

$ ruby -e "puts /[\W]|\u1234/i.match('k').inspect"
#<MatchData "k">
$ ruby -e "puts /[\W]|\u1234/.match('k').inspect"
nil

 Hi all,
 
 Josh Bassett and I just discovered an issue with regex matches on ruby-1.9.2p0. (We reduced it while we were hacking on gemcutter.)
 
 The case-insensitive (/i) option together with the non-word character class (\W) match inconsistently against the alphabet. Specifically the regex doesn't match properly against the letters 'k' and 's'.
 
 The following expression demonstrates the problem in irb:
 
     puts ('a'..'z').to_a.map {|c| [c, c.ord, c[/[^\W]/i] ].inspect }
 
 As a reference, the following two expressions are working properly:
 
     puts ('a'..'z').to_a.map {|c| [c, c.ord, c[/[^\W]/] ].inspect }
     puts ('a'..'z').to_a.map {|c| [c, c.ord, c[/[\w]/i] ].inspect }
 
 Cheers
 Ben Hoskings & Josh Bassett
