#
# I believe I've just found a bug in gawk3.1.0 implementation of
# extended regular expressions. It seems to be down to the alternation
# operator; when using an end anchor '$' as a subexpression in an
# alternation and the entire matched RE is a nul-string it fails
# to match the end of string, for example;
#
# gsub(/$|2/,"x")
# print
#
# input = 12345
# expected output = 1x345x
# actual output = 1x345
#
# The start anchor '^' always works as expected;
#
# gsub(/^|2/,"x")
# print
#
# input = 12345
# expected output = x1x345
# actual output = x1x345
#
# This was with POSIX compliance enabled althought that doesn't
# effect the result.
#
# I checked on gawk3.0.6 and got exactly the same results however
# gawk2.15.6 gives the expected results.
#
# I'm about to post a bug report about this into gnu.utils.bug
# but I thought I'd post it here first in case anyone has
# any input/comments/whatever ....
#
# Complete test results were as follows;
#
# input 12345
# output gsub(/regex/,"x",input)
#
# regex output
# (^) x12345
# ($) 12345x
# (^)|($) x12345x
# ($)|(^) x12345x
# (2) 1x345
# (^)|2 x1x345
# 2|(^) x1x345
# ($)|2 1x345
# 2|($) 1x345
# (2)|(^) x1x345
# (^)|(2) x1x345
# (2)|($) 1x345
# ($)|(2) 1x345
# .((2)|(^)) x345
# .((^)|(2)) x345
# .((2)|($)) x34x
# .(($)|(2)) x34x
# x{0}((2)|(^)) x1x345
# x{0}((^)|(2)) x1x345
# x{0}((2)|($)) 1x345
# x{0}(($)|(2)) 1x345
# x*((2)|(^)) x1x345
# x*((^)|(2)) x1x345
# x*((2)|($)) 1x345
# x*(($)|(2)) 1x345
#
# Here's the test program I used, a few of the cases use ERE {n[,[m]]}
# operators so that will have to be commented out or have a check
# added or something (should have put a conditional in I know... ;-)
