Description Petr Pisar 2014-11-07 11:57:39 UTC 
As reported to upstream <http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1537>:

$ pcretest  
PCRE version 8.36 2014-09-26

  re> /(?:((abcd))|(((?:(?:(?:(?:abc|(?:abcdef))))b)abcdefghi)abc)|((*ACCEPT)))/
data> 1234abcd
 0:
 1:
 2:
 3:
 4:
 5:
data>

Which should return "unset" groups 1--4. The library forgets to set those offsets to -1.

Fixed by upstream:

commit e2eeaf85f1b5d6c4669b621d309ff904cbf96f4b

    Fix bug when there are unset groups prior to (*ACCEPT) within a capturing
    group.

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2014-11-07 12:03:10 UTC 
All Fedoras are affected (pcre-8.36-1.fc22---pcre-8.32-10.fc19).
Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2014-11-07 12:28:00 UTC 
Simpler reproducer:

Was:

  re> /(x)|((*ACCEPT))/
data> abcd
 0: 
 1: 
 2: 

Should be:

  re> /(x)|((*ACCEPT))/
data> abcd
 0: 
 1: <unset>
 2: 
data>
