* How to substitute empty array element, or empty string

Hello,
following does not work as expected:

% a=( a "" c ); print -rl -- "${(@)a//*/x}”
x

x

% a=""; print -rl -- "${a//*/x}”
(empty line)

I guess this is inherited from // substitution. I count lines using substitution that matches (*), and it is skipping empty lines, giving wrong line number for following elements.

Is there any solution? I’ve tried (#s), (#s)(#e), *(#e) and nothing.

This might be one of those "bug" things you sometimes read about for other
projects...

I believe I've sent the version that doesn't loop infinitely.

Other cases in igetmatch() may need adaption.

I'm little thrilled that this goes away from how // "typically" works. In bash // also doesn't match empty element. Maybe it's a Posix thing?

Hard to see:

[[ '' = * ]] && echo yes

echoes "yes" in bash as well as zsh, so "*" can match an empty string,
and I don't think the / and // operators are standardised.

Checked that in ksh:

% a=""; echo ${a//*/x}
x
% a=( "" ); echo ${a[@]//*/x}
x
% [[ "" = * ]] && echo yes
yes

It can look like // behavior was bash-driven, and in bash there is the omission for "".

This was changed between bash-4.3 and bash-4.4.
