Subject: What is the difference between looking-at and an anchored search?
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:14:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <487F2985.9080103@gmail.com> (raw)

looking-at does not have a BOUND parameter, but re-search-forward have. 
This makes re-search-forward a bit more flexible.

I am looking at some code where I would have use for that flexibility, 
but I wonder if there is any drawback with replacing looking-at with 
re-search-forward (with an achored pattern).

Is there any? Performance?
