Bug #3387
Updated by Debbie Lockett almost 4 years ago
I think the logic for handling inverse character ranges such as \P{L} may be incorrect.
For two-letter categories the logic is sound. The categories.json file gives a definition of Ll as
~~~
[["61","7A"],["B5","B5"],["DF","F6"],...
~~~
and to invert this we form the ranges corresponding to the gaps:
~~~
["0","60"],["7B","B4"],["B6","DE"],...
~~~
This only works if the ranges are in ascending order. For single-character categories such as L, we concatenate the subcategories, and the result is therefore the union of the gaps in the subcategories, when it should be the gaps in the union of the subcategories.
Oddly, I can't point my finger at tests that are failing as a result.
