[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH][5] Problem with utf8 character classes in irregex

[lemonboy]

Hello hackers,
here's a patch for the bug reported by Chunyang Xu on CHICKEN-users, I'm
reporting a piece of their mail below:

>  #;1> (use utf8)
>  ; loading /usr/local/Cellar/chicken/4.12.0/lib/chicken/8/utf8.import.so ...
>  ; loading /usr/local/Cellar/chicken/4.12.0/lib/chicken/8/utf8.so ...
>  #;5> (string-match "[一二]" "三四")
>  
>  Error: (sre-length-ranges) unknown sre: ()
>  
>        Call history:
>  
>        <syntax>          (string-match "[一二]" "三四")
>        <eval>    (string-match "[一二]" "三四")    <--
>  #;14> 

The fix is really simple but a bit hairy IMO, feel free to refactor the code,
and simply avoids the tailing '() by stopping before the end of the list is
reached.

Another approach that results in a slightly longer patch is to generate a single
`sre-sequence' with a tail-recursive loop, if you prefer this kind of fix you
just have to ask :)

Oh, the patch is made against the chicken-5 branch, backporting it to master
should be straightforward.

Cheers,
LemonBoy
