Bug 17520 – Different matches with ctRegex and regex on multiline inputs

ctRegex and regex give different matches in the following example: /////////////////////////////////////////// import std.regex; import std.stdio; auto directivesRegexp = regex(`(.*)`); auto ctDirectivesRegexp = ctRegex!(`(.*)`); immutable text = `line1 line2 line3 `; void main() { writeln("REGEX"); foreach (m; matchAll(text, directivesRegexp)) { writefln("match=%s", m[1]); } writeln("CTREGEX"); foreach (m; matchAll(text, ctDirectivesRegexp)) { writefln("match=%s", m[1]); } } /////////////////////////////////////////// Output: REGEX match=line1 match= match=line2 match= match= match= match=line3 match= match= CTREGEX match=line1 match=line2 match= match=line3 match= /////////////////////////////////////////// I think the behavior of ctRegex is the correct one in this case.
