Wrong match length?

[yoyopoleg]

Hi,
I ran into an issue in the following scenario:
pattern = re_compile("{\\w+}");
match_pos = re_matchp(pattern, "{{FW}_TEST", &match_length);

The result is that match_pos==1 (correct), but match_length==5 (incorrect).
I was expecting to get match_pos==0 and match_length==5 --OR-- match_pos=1 and match_length==4.
Tnx
Yair

Looks comparable to #53.
Please also refer to #67, which may help on your case.

I tried the code from here: https://github.com/marler8997/tiny-regex-c, no luck :/

@yoyopoleg sorry I didn't get notified about your comment 26 days ago, but I just happened to be looking through these issues today. All my changes are on the nocompile branch in my repo, maybe you were using the master branch? I've added your test case here:

https://github.com/marler8997/tiny-regex-c/pull/1/files#diff-17bb50ff94ad23665e8837f348d16688af778a443dda0e15dcb073ce32ead4f8R225

on my branch I get a match position of 1 and a match length of 4 which I believe is what you would expect.
