Subject: re-search-forward hangs
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 14:24:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fd094987-d328-4882-bfb9-5c0efb1d14b7@easy-emacs.de> (raw)

Hi,

emacs -Q, when evaluating from in scratch-buffer


(while (re-search-forward "" nil t 1))

Emacs hangs.

Same with plain

(while (search-forward "" nil t 1))

Expect it terminating.

Are there reasons for this?

Thanks,
Andreas
