 # This set of tests is for features that are compatible with all versions of
# Perl >= 5.10, in non-UTF mode. It should run clean for the 8-bit, 16-bit, and
# 32-bit PCRE libraries, and also using the perltest.sh script.
# WARNING: Use only / as the pattern delimiter. Although pcre2test supports
# a number of delimiters, all those other than / give problems with the
# perltest.sh script.

# This pattern uses a lot of named subpatterns in order to match email
# addresses in various formats. It's a heavy test for named subpatterns. In the
# <atext> group, slash is coded as \x{2f} so that this pattern can also be
# processed by perltest.sh, which does not cater for an escaped delimiter
# within the pattern. $ within the pattern must also be escaped. All $ and @
# characters in subject strings are escaped so that Perl doesn't interpret them
# as variable insertions and " characters must also be escaped for Perl.
# This set of subpatterns is more or less a direct transliteration of the BNF
# definitions in RFC2822, without any of the obsolete features. The addition of
# a possessive + to the definition of <phrase> reduced the match limit in PCRE2
# from over 5 million to just under 400, and eliminated a very noticeable delay
