# Dev
No dev packages

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

This bug may still exist. I don't think term is properly escaped here:

autocomplete-clang/lib/jumper.coffee

Line 72 in d9c18e2

match = candidate.match ///^Dumping\s(?:[A-Za-z_]*::)*?#{term}:///

Thanks for your feedback!

I can not reproduce the problem.
Could you show a minimal example to reproduce?

Steps to reproduce:

Select part of a C or C++ source file that contains more right parentheses than left parentheses, e.g. int argc, char **argv)
Right-click the selection
Click "Goto Declaration"
An exception is thrown by autocomplete-clang, so Atom displays a message that links to issue #112 (which was closed as wontfix)

Here's a more recent error report (unimportant details excluded):

Atom: 1.38.2 x64
Electron: 2.0.18
OS: "Arch Linux"
Thrown From: autocomplete-clang package 0.12.0

Thank you. It can not be reproduced on macOS. I will try using VM when I have time.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

The buggy source file hasn't been updated since I last re-verified the problem. It's an obvious lack of escaping of a variable in a regex. One solution would be to iterate the matches for a regex without term and match term as a literal against those (instead of a regex).

I just released new version to fix this.
Could you try 0.12.1?

With the new version, selecting characters with a special meaning in regex no longer throws an exception.

Looks like it can be closed. If not, feel free to reopen.
