From: Ernesto Alfonso <erjoalgo <at> gmail.com> To: 21279 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#21279: 24.4; (match-end 0) doesn't always return nil when previous string-match fails Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2015 23:20:11 -0400
(match-end 0) doesn't always return nil when previous string-match fails:
(progn
(string-match "a+" "aaa")
(match-end 0)
(string-match "a+" "bbb")
(match-end 0))
returns 3, should be nil:
"match-end is a built-in function in `search.c'.
[...]
Value is nil if SUBEXPth pair didn't match, or there were less than
SUBEXP pairs.
