# Script for testing regular expressions with perl to check that PCRE2 handles
# them the same. For testing with different versions of Perl, if the first
# argument is -perl then the second is taken as the Perl command to use, and
# both are then removed. If the next argument is "-w", Perl is called with
# "-w", which turns on its warning mode.
#
# The Perl code has to have "use utf8" and "require Encode" at the start when
# running UTF-8 tests, but *not* for non-utf8 tests. (The "require" would
# actually be OK for non-utf8-tests, but is not always installed, so this way
# the script will always run for these tests.)
#
# The desired effect is achieved by making this a shell script that passes the
# Perl script to Perl through a pipe. If the next argument is "-utf8", a
# suitable prefix is set up.
#
# The remaining arguments, if any, are passed to Perl. They are an input file
# and an output file. If there is one argument, the output is written to
# STDOUT. If Perl receives no arguments, it opens /dev/tty as input, and writes
# output to STDOUT. (I haven't found a way of getting it to use STDIN, because
# of the contorted piping input.)

# The Perl script that follows has a similar specification to pcre2test, and so
# can be given identical input, except that input patterns can be followed only
# by Perl's lower case modifiers and certain other pcre2test modifiers that are
# either handled or ignored:
#
#   aftertext          interpreted as "print $' afterwards"
#   afteralltext       ignored
#   dupnames           ignored (Perl always allows)
#   jitstack           ignored
#   mark               show mark information
#   no_auto_possess    ignored
#   no_start_optimize  insert (??{""}) at pattern start (disables optimizing)
#  -no_start_optimize  ignored
#   subject_literal    does not process subjects for escapes
#   ucp                sets Perl's /u modifier
#   utf                invoke UTF-8 functionality
#
# Comment lines are ignored. The #pattern command can be used to set modifiers
# that will be added to each subsequent pattern, after any modifiers it may
# already have. NOTE: this is different to pcre2test where #pattern sets
# defaults which can be overridden on individual patterns. The #subject command
# may be used to set or unset a default "mark" modifier for data lines. This is
# the only use of #subject that is supported. The #perltest, #forbid_utf, and
# #newline_default commands, which are needed in the relevant pcre2test files,
# are ignored. Any other #-command is ignored, with a warning message.
#
# The pattern lines should use only / as the delimiter. The other characters
# that pcre2test supports cause problems with this script.
#
# The data lines must not have any pcre2test modifiers. Unless
# "subject_literal" is on the pattern, data lines are processed as
# Perl double-quoted strings, so if they contain " $ or @ characters, these
# have to be escaped. For this reason, all such characters in the
# Perl-compatible testinput1 and testinput4 files are escaped so that they can
# be used for perltest as well as for pcre2test. The output from this script
# should be same as from pcre2test, apart from the initial identifying banner.
#
# The other testinput files are not suitable for feeding to perltest.sh,
# because they make use of the special modifiers that pcre2test uses for
# testing features of PCRE2. Some of these files also contain malformed regular
# expressions, in order to check that PCRE2 diagnoses them correctly.
