Re: [icu-support] ICU Patch for bugs in Regular Expressions

[George R. <gr...@us...>]

I can confirm that ICU4C's /branches/maint/maint-3-8 works with Visual=20
Studio 2003 and 2005.  ICU dropped support for the older Microsoft=20
compilers long ago.  The minimum compiler version is 2003.

The patch introduces a testcase in regextst.cpp

    REGEX=5FERR("(ab)\\0", 1, 6, U=5FREGEX=5FINVALID=5FBACK=5FREF);

Older versions of the MS compiler seem to not grok the escaped backslash
and bail out complaining

error C2501: 'regex=5Ferr' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
error C2078: too many initializers

Seen that using MSC v13.10.3077 of MSVC.NET2003, compiles fine on other
platforms.
