Using Tony's, case, this is not the same thing as #134329. But again, it's caused by the same lack of switching to long jumps. To reduce the number of passes, if we're already having to do a pass because we need to count the parenthetical groups, the code doesn't restart immediately when it decides it needs to use long jumps. This works, except in a few cases, it can't really keep going. And this ticket is one of them. The easiest thing is to restart immediately even when counting parens. This adds a pass. The other way would be to restart immediately only in those cases where it might be needed. I have to examine the code to decide how clear cut that is. If it isn't, err on the side of safety and always restart immediately. -- Karl Williamson --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=134325Thread Previous
