[ID 20010306.008] no utf8 breaks regexey
Message ID:

This is a bug report for perl from pcg@goof.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.33 running under perl v5.7.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

This:

   $x = "a\x{1234}"; no utf8; $x =~ m/\w/;

segfaults in regexec.c because it calls a swash function with
PL_utf8_alnum which is NULL at that point. It seems that regcomp.c
contains some hacks that call Perl_is_utf8_alnum to initialize the swash
but these are only called when "use utf8" is in effect.

In the above example, it gets never called, thus the NULL pointer access.
