If the function `narrow-to-region' (as it is in `looking-back') is used
to restrict the region prior to an invocation of re-search-forward or
looking-at, then zero length regexp patterns are lost at the boundaries.

It is unclear if this is a bug or an undocumented feature, but it has
consequences for lexers that must operate backwards (such as those used
by SMIE).

Hi Eli,

Sorry that was a terrible bug report.

This impacts me in `looking-back'. Here's an interactive snippet to
demonstrate the problem (not minimised to`narrow-to-region'):

(defun look-for-35119 ()
  (interactive)
  (if (looking-back
       (rx (: word-end ":" word-start))
       ;;(rx (: word-end ":"))
       (- (point) 1) 't)
      (message "hit")
    (message "miss")))

in emacs-lisp-mode, which defines : as non-word, interactively
evaluate look-for-35119 when the point is just after the colon in this
example text

  wibble:wobble

I would expect to see "hit", but we get "miss". To demonstrate that
the word-start is the cause of the problem, try the commented regexp
and try again, you'll get "hit" but of course this regexp is not what
is intended. For example, it would also match in between :: in the
following:

  wibble::wobble

The cause is that the `narrow-to-region' call inside `looking-back' is
dropping the word-start zero length match at the beginning of wobble.
This may or may not be a bug in narrow-to-region, but I'm quite sure
it's a bug in `looking-back'. There is most likely a similar example
demonstrating that the zero lengths are missing at the start as well
as the end.

I've tried playing around with multiple alternative implementations of
`looking-back' but none are working for me. Probably the best
workaround I can think of is to extend the `narrow-to-region' call by
one more character at the start and the end. Dealing with the start is
easy, we just goto-char limit+1, but dealing with the end is difficult
as we need to put an anychar \\. matcher in the doctored regexp and
then the match-end is off-by-one from what the user expects, so then
we have to doctor that, and then all hell breaks loose.

Does that make sense?

Hmm, on further investigation I think this may just be regexp behaviour.

I came up with this as an alternative to `looking-back'

(defun my-looking-back (regexp lower)
  (let ((upper (point))
        (start lower))
    (save-excursion
      (catch 'hit
        (while (< start upper)
          (goto-char start)
          (re-search-forward regexp upper 't)
          (when (= (point) upper)
            (throw 'hit 't))
          (setq start (+ 1 start)))
        nil))))

and it also fails to match the : in the example. So perhaps limit is
also excluding the zero-length implied by the subsequent character.

To be clear, I still think this is a bug... but I'm now thinking that
the bug is in re-search-forward.

This alternative looking-back works for the example but is broken in other ways

(defun haskell-tng-lexer:greedy-looking-back (regexp lower)
  (let ((upper (+ (point) 1)) ;; must be +1 to include zero-lengths
        (start lower))
    (save-excursion
      (catch 'hit
        (while (< start upper)
          (goto-char start)
          (re-search-forward regexp upper 't)
          (when (= (point) (- upper 1))
            (throw 'hit 't))
          (setq start (+ 1 start)))
        nil))))

Here's a simpler test case:

(with-temp-buffer
  (emacs-lisp-mode)
  (insert "wibble:wobble")
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (search-forward ":")
  (if (looking-back "\\>:\\<" nil t)
      (message "hit")
    (message "miss")))

And, indeed, that fails because

(re-search-backward "\\(?:\\>:\\<\\)\\=" nil t)

fails.  There seems to be a general problem with re-search-backward and
these zero-length matches (as you said in a later message).

Here's the test case:

(with-temp-buffer
  (emacs-lisp-mode)
  (insert "wibble:wobble")
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (search-forward ":")
  (if (re-search-backward ":\\<" nil t)
      (message "hit")
    (message "miss")))

That is, if we're at the point where this zero-length match should
match, it doesn't.  This succeeds:

(with-temp-buffer
  (emacs-lisp-mode)
  (insert "wibble:wobble")
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (search-forward ":")
  (forward-char 1)
  (if (re-search-backward ":\\<" nil t)
      (message "hit")
    (message "miss")))
