Subject: [ruby-core:54252] [Backport 200 - Backport #8210] Multibyte character interfering with end-line character within a regex


Issue #8210 has been updated by k_takata (Ken Takata).


I think it's better to backport this patch to Ruby 1.9.3 too.

With this regex:

    regex1 = /\z/

the following strings match as expected:

    "hello" =~ regex1 # => 5
    "���������������" =~ regex1 # => 5

but with these regexes:

    regex2 = /#$/?\z/
    regex3 = /\n?\z/

they show difference:

    "hello" =~ regex2 # => 5
    "hello" =~ regex3 # => 5
    "���������������" =~ regex2 # => nil
    "���������������" =~ regex3 # => nil

The string encoding is UTF-8, and the OS is Linux (i.e., `$/` is `"\n"`). I expect them to behave the same, and believe this is a bug.
