Subject: Possible bug in `match-string` in 24.4.50.18?
Date: Sun, 25 May 2014 14:33:22 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bnumh3zh.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
i couldn't see any reference to this issue in the bug-gnu-emacs archives of
recent weeks.
Take the following code:
(setq address "mailto:alexis@example.com")
(setq re "mailto")
(string-match re address)
(match-string 0 address)
In 24.3, the call to `string-match` correctly returns 0, and the call to
`match-string` correctly returns "mailto".
In 24.4.50.18 (more specifically, git commit
08005cbfff9227ac73cbee5f3f5afa65f8c27849), the call to `string-match`
correctly returns 0, but the call to `match-string` consistently returns
"m" instead of "mailto".
Am i doing something wrong, is there an issue with my local setup, or is
this a bug?
Alexis.
