Subject: Str.string_match incorrect
Date: 22 Dec 2004 14:49:30 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1103687369.6979.50.camel@pelican.wigram> (raw)

This looks like a fairly fundamental bug in Str module..
(so probably I'm missing something ..) 

This program:

let m = Str.regexp "a";;
let b = Str.string_match m "aa" 0;;

print_endline (if b then "YES" else "NO");;

prints YES. Clearly the string "aa" is NOT matched by
the regexp "a".

This *would be* the correct result for the

Str.string_partial_match

function which matches prefixes. However Str.string_match
should match the whole string. [In bugtracker]
