Hi,

As part of prepping for PCRE 10.48, I revised 10.47-2 in experimental, 
and the glib2.0 tests failed:

https://debusine.debian.net/debian/developers/work-request/998509/

Following your reproducer at the top of this bug report (thank you!), I 
am able to reproduce the failure - after
apt install libpcre2-8-0/experimental

/usr/libexec/installed-tests/glib/regex

fails as before:

# Compiling pattern /^(a)\g"3/ failed with error: Error while compiling 
regular expression ?^(a)\g"3? at char 6: \g is not followed by a braced, 
angle-bracketed, or quoted name or number, or by a plain number
ok 96 /regex/new-fail/78
**
ERROR:../../../glib/tests/regex.c:133:test_new_fail: assertion failed 
(error == (g-regex-error-quark, 157)): Error while compiling regular 
expression ?^(a)\g{3? at char 8: syntax error in subpattern number 
(missing terminator?) (g-regex-error-quark, 0)
not ok /regex/new-fail/79 - 
ERROR:../../../glib/tests/regex.c:133:test_new_fail: assertion failed 
(error == (g-regex-error-quark, 157)): Error while compiling regular

(missing terminator?) (g-regex-error-quark, 0)
Bail out!

Regards,

Matthew
