[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52810] regexprep: incorrect empty tokens on ARM architecture

[Colin Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #52810 (project octave):

I dug a little deeper and I think it might be an Octave bug.

1.  First, note (as in mwe.m) that "regexp" does the right thing here.  Its
"regexprep" that shows the bug.

2.  My reading of regexp::replace in lo-regexp.cc is that it calls
regexp::match (which uses PCRE) but then does its own substitutions.

Sorry this is not as ironclad as your suggestion but its all I have time to
learn at the moment.
