Re: [pcre-dev] Some inconsistency around \0

[Philip Hazel via Pcre-dev]

I have fixed the first bug, which was in the interpreter. JIT was already
giving the right answer. The second is, as you say, not a bug but maybe the
documentation could be clearer about what is "the matched string". Thank
you for the report.

Regards,
Philip

[pcre-dev] Some inconsistency around \0

[ND via Pcre-dev]

Here is 2 pcretest listings:


1.
PCRE2 version 10.35 2020-05-09

/a\K.(?0)*/
abac
 0: bac


Expected result: c
Perl's result: c



2.
/a\Kb/replace=-$0-
ab
 1: a-b-


PCRE doc's says about $ substitutions:
"The number may be zero to include the entire matched string."

But really we can see that entire matched string "ab" is not included in  
substitution.

So there is need to change either doc's or pcre2_substitute() behaviour
