Description:
Using g_regex_split_simple on a string with "\s*" as a pattern, there are no
results.
Reported upstream (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638894), but this seems to be Arch specific.

Steps to reproduce:
Run attached code, see that second regex has no output.
   test.c (0.3 KiB)

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  in future glib version. RIght now doesn't worth backporting or expect gnome to release a new stable glib including the fix

i mostly think is their fault because, if i remember well, they broke system pcre support on the road to 2.26.0.

can you try to rebuild your glib2 package removing the --with-pcre=system?

Recompiling without system pcre indeed makes this behave correctly

i justed tested the development version of glib. is working fine with system pcre. I guess i can close this bug
