    Description

      RegularExpression::matches(txt, pMatch) does not work in 2.8, 3.0.1
      since pMatch is not updated correctly anymore.

      // Test code - works with 2.7.0

      XMLCh * txt = L"2004-06-17";
      Match m;
      RegularExpression r("(\\-?\\d+(\\-
      d

      {2}(\\-
      d{2}

      )?)?)?(T
      d

      {2}(:
      d{2}

      (:
      d

      {2}(:\\d+)?)?)?)?(F\\d+)?((\\-|\\+)
      d{2}

      :
      d

      {2}

      )?");
      if(r.matches(txt, &m))
      {
      for(int i = 1; i < m.getNoGroups(); i++)
      {
      int i1 = m.getStartPos; // Should be 0

      if(i1 < 0) // Is -1

      { printf("This is wrong!\n"); return; }

      }
      }

      Problem can be tracked via

      bool RegularExpression::matches(const XMLCh* const expression, const XMLSize_t start
      , const XMLSize_t end, Match* const pMatch
      , MemoryManager* const manager) const;

      which does

      Match* lMatch = pMatch; // use our pMatch
      context.fMatch = lMatch; // put pMatch into context

      /*

      • Straightforward matching
        */
        for (matchStart=context.fStart; matchStart<=limit; matchStart++) { if (0 <= (matchEnd = match(&context,fOperations,matchStart))) break; }

      and at the end updates the context fMatch data

      if (matchEnd >= 0) {

      if (context.fMatch != 0)

      { context.fMatch->setStartPos(0, (int)matchStart); context.fMatch->setEndPos(0, matchEnd); }

      return true;
      }

      But: context.fMatch is NOT the original match pointer (pMatch), but a temporal one.
      So the correct result is not propagated back to the caller anymore.
