ippStsRegExpQuantifierErr

This is a compile-time pattern error. It usually means the repetition syntax is invalid for the IPP Perl-compatible RegExp parser: for example, a quantifier is missing its target atom or has an invalid range.

Check the exact pattern after application escaping, not only the human-written pattern. Many bugs are introduced when a configuration file, JSON string, or command-line layer consumes backslashes before IPP sees the pattern.

Examples of suspicious areas

  • Empty or reversed brace ranges such as malformed {m,n} constructs.
  • Repeated quantifiers applied to another quantifier.
  • Escaping differences between application strings and regex syntax.
