Description Petr Pisar 2014-07-14 09:53:45 EDT

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1119241 +++

The JIT mode and Perl matches like this:

$ printf '%s\n%s\n' '/\A(?:[^"]++|"(?:[^"]*+|"")*+")++/' 'NON QUOTED "QUOT""ED" AFTER "NOT MATCHED' | pcretest -s++
PCRE version 8.33 2013-05-28

  re> data>  0: NON QUOTED "QUOT""ED" AFTER  (JIT)
data> 

While the interpreter mode does not:

$ printf '%s\n%s\n' '/\A(?:[^"]++|"(?:[^"]*+|"")*+")++/' 'NON QUOTED "QUOT""ED" AFTER "NOT MATCHED' | pcretest 
PCRE version 8.33 2013-05-28

  re> data>  0: NON QUOTED 
data> 

this is fixed with upstream commit:
