https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19778 Cameron McCormack <cam@mcc.id.au> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |FIXED --- Comment #1 from Cameron McCormack <cam@mcc.id.au> --- But there is also the statement: When tokenizing, the longest possible match MUST be used. just below those that in the spec. So I think it should be fine. The order of the alternation shouldn't matter if you are just using the regular expressions for testing. But if you are doing something like: if ($input =~ s/^float_regex//) { } elsif ($input =~ s/^integer_regex//) { } elsif ($input =~ s/^identifier_regex//) { } ... then you could run in to trouble. I've switched it around in case people are directly using the regexes like this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.Received on Friday, 7 December 2012 04:51:13 UTC
