Jaroslav Škarvada 2014-03-26 10:21:52 UTC Status ASSIGNED MODIFIED
Fixed In Version grep-2.6.3-6.el6
Doc Text Cause:
Previously, there was an bug in grep causing that it doesn't request PCRE UTF-8 processing if UTF-8 locale is in effect.

Consequence:
Unicode symbols weren't correctly matched if Perl regular expression (the -P option) were used in UTF-8 locale.

Fix:
Upstream fix was backported that adds request for UTF-8 processing to PCRE if UTF-8 locale is in effect.

Result:
Grep now correctly handles unicode symbols in PCRE in UTF-8 locales.

Fix:
Upstream fix was backported that adds request for UTF-8 processing to PCRE if UTF-8 locale is in effect.

Result:
Grep now correctly handles unicode symbols in PCRE in UTF-8 locales.
Previously, the grep utility did not request processing of UTF-8 from the Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCRE) library if a UTF-8 locale was in effect. As a consequence, Unicode symbols were not correctly matched if a Perl regular expression (the "-P" option) was used with a UTF-8 locale. This update adds a request for UTF-8 processing to the PCRE library, and grep now correctly handles Unicode symbols in the described situation.
