+Subject: [PATCH] tests: Remove variable-length lookbehind tests for GRegex
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+PCRE2 10.43 has now introduced support for variable-length lookbehind,
+so these tests now fail if GLib is built against PCRE2 10.43 or higher.
+
+See
+https://github.com/PCRE2Project/pcre2/blob/e8db6fa7137f4c6f66cb87e0a3c9467252ec1ef7/ChangeLog#L94.
+
+Rather than making the tests conditional on the version of PCRE2 in use,
+just remove them. They are mostly testing the PCRE2 code rather than
+any code in GLib, so don’t have much value.
+
+This should fix CI runs on msys2-mingw32, which updated to PCRE2 10.43 2
+days ago.
