Subject: string function documentation
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 1999 12:10:23 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199909151110.MAA15817@overcast.cise.npl.co.uk> (raw)
The following behaviour is clearly correct, but I think it is
undocumented:
Various functions in the String and Str modules accept
"String.length s" as a valid character index for "s". For example,
Str.string_match regexp s (String.length s)
does not raise an Invalid_argument exception, but returns true or
false depending on whether regexp allows an empty string.
As mentioned above, I see that this is correct.
Should the documentation should be changed to mention this behaviour?
Thanks,
Steve
