Hello,
binary:matches doesn't always work as documented, as a consequence
binary:replace might misbehave, too.
Example:
Current behaviour:
1> binary:matches(<<>>, <<"1">>).
nomatch
2> binary:replace(<<>>, <<"1">>, <<"2">>, [global]).
** exception error: bad argument
in function binary:replace/4
New behaviour:
1> binary:matches(<<>>, <<"1">>).
[]
2> binary:replace(<<>>, <<"1">>, <<"2">>, [global]).
<<>>
Contents of the branch:
- Changing a test which assumed binary:matches should return nomatch
- Add above example of re:replace/4 as test
- Fix source to behave as documented
git fetch git://github.com/thlachmann/otp.git binary_matches_fix
Regards,
Thomas
