This would change the established-for-decades "longest" requirement to "most repetitions", which is not the same thing. And it turns out that on macOS the '?' modifier does not change to matching the least repetitions, it is shortest match; the re_format(7) man page is wrong. Tested using the program at the end of https://jpn01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fposix.rhansen.org%2Fp%2F2020-11-09&data=05%7C02%7C%7Cac18dae9f2004a85542c08dcdbadf49e%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638626787382974911%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=1Y0kq1gBg7NjtIK6pupL6XAHH4aR1u0emZqfQ5F8x9Y%3D&reserved=0<https://posix.rhansen.org/p/2020-11-09> with REG_MINIMAL removed: <pre>$ ./a.out '([ab]{6}|a)*?b' aaaabbbb regexec() returned 0 rm_so 0, rm_eo 5</pre> (Least repetitions would give rm_eo 7.) Same test with grep, using -o to see what matched: <pre>$ echo aaaabbbb | grep -E -o '([ab]{6}|a)*?b' aaaab b b b</pre> This behaviour makes sense as the whole point of REG_MINIMAL and the '?' modifier is to change to the opposite greediness, and the opposite of longest is shortest. Having the default as longest and REG_MINIMAL/'?' as least repetitions would produce the same output in the above tests with and without the '?', making them pointless in such cases.
