[ruby-core:93600] [Ruby master Bug#10891] /[[:punct:]]/ POSIX group broken (with string literals?)

Issue #10891 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).

Status changed from Feedback to Closed

This was apparently fixed between Ruby 2.3 and 2.4:

```
$ ruby23 -e 'p("<".force_encoding("UTF-8") =~ /[[:punct:]]/)' 
nil
$ ruby24 -e 'p("<".force_encoding("UTF-8") =~ /[[:punct:]]/)' 
0
```

* Author: tom-lord (Tom Lord)
* Status: Closed

* Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE)
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.2.0p0 (2014-12-25 revision 49005) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The regular expression: `/[[:punct:]]/` should match the following characters:

    ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~

However, it only works for these characters:

    ! " # % & ' ( ) * , - . / : ; ? @ [ \\ ] _ { }

And does not work for these characters:

    $ + < = > ^ ` | ~

However, this is where it gets really weird... Consider the following:

    60.chr == "<" # true
    60.chr =~ /[[:punct:]]/ # => 0
    "<" =~ /[[:punct:]]/ # => nil

So, it seems that the regular expression only fails for string literals!
