I've just added PR fixing this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-11-20 00:47:53] grzegorz129 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I found a strange (yet consistent across since 5.6) regarding infinite loop patterns error reporting. preg_match() correctly identifies broken patterns and triggers E_WARN, however preg_last_error() returns PREG_NO_ERROR instead of expected PREG_RECURSION_LIMIT_ERROR.
