Hello,
Is it just me or does regex_grep return overlapping matches when using the match_posix flag? More specifically, grepping regex "a+" over text "-aaa-" will find matches "aaa", "aa", and "a" at offsets 1, 2, and 3, respectively. This does not happen using the match_perl flag. I've confirmed this on NT and Linux platforms.
The problem seems to be somewhere near perl_matcher::match_all_states(), where the inner if(!(this->*proc)()) statement is entered multiple times and thus indirectly sets (*m_presult)[0].second to an incorrect value, leading to an incorrect restart point.
I know that regex_grep is deprecated, but I still prefer it over the iterator approach.
Any ideas or comments?
Thanks,
Ralph
