Subject: bug#71879: 30.0.60; Docstring error in NOERROR argument part of re-search-forward
Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2024 16:13:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cadc7a71aa7f16ab729cffaf8fd1d1f2@posteo.net> (raw)

Hello,

The last "if" clause in the NOERROR part of the re-search-forward 
docstring
is wrong.

It reads "if it is neither nil nor t, move to the limit of search and 
return nil."

but if NOERROR equals neither nil nor t re-search-forward returns the 
start
position of the match (when found) or nil (when no match found).

See for instance: (info "(Eintr) the-the")

By the way: using the-the finds a duplication "is is" in the NEWS file 
but I
am unsure whether this merits a bug report.

Regards -- Gerard
