In order to implement --count-matches, we simply re-execute the regex on the spans reported by the searcher. The spans always correspond to the lines that participated in the match. This is the correct thing to do, except when the regex contains look-ahead (or look-behind). In particular, the look-around permits the regex's match success to depends on an arbitrary point before or after the lines actually reported as participating in the match. Since only the matched lines are reported to the printer, it is possible for subsequent searching on those lines to fail. A true fix for this would somehow make the total span available to the printer. But that seems tricky since it isn't always available. For PCRE2's case in multiline mode, it is available because we force it to be so for correctness. For now, we simply detect this corner case heuristically. If the match count is zero, then it necessarily means there is some kind of look-around that isn't matching. So we set the match count to 1. This is probably incorrect in some cases, although my brain can't quite come up with a concrete example. Nevertheless, this is strictly better than the status quo. Fixes #1573 |
