[Emacs-diffs] master 26f735f: Add standard unmatchable regexp


From: Mattias Engdegård
Subject: [Emacs-diffs] master 26f735f: Add standard unmatchable regexp
Date: Wed, 15 May 2019 12:56:52 -0400 (EDT)

branch: master
commit 26f735ff198e52370aafe09ed5ed669e78f196ab
Author: Mattias Engdegård <address@hidden>
Commit: Mattias Engdegård <address@hidden>

    Add standard unmatchable regexp
    
    Add `regexp-unmatchable' as a standard unmatchable regexp, defined as
    "\\`a\\`".  Use it where such a regexp is needed, replacing slower
    expressions in several places.
    From a suggestion by Philippe Schnoebelen.
    
    * lisp/subr.el (regexp-unmatchable): New defconst.
    * etc/NEWS (Lisp Changes): Mention `regexp-unmatchable'.
    * doc/lispref/searching.texi (Regexp Functions): Document it.

    Use `regexp-unmatchable'.
    * lisp/textmodes/ispell.el (ispell-non-empty-string):
    Use `regexp-unmatchable', fixing a broken never-match regexp.
