            Bug ID: 195763
           Summary: bsdgrep, empty matches and -o
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dt71@gmx.com

bsdgrep(1) behaves weirdly when, apparently, an empty (sub)string is matched.

=== a session on FreeBSD (10.1-RELEASE) begins ===
$ echo '01:1:01' | grep -Eo '(^|:)0*'
0
$ # hey, what gives?
$ echo '01:1:01' | bsdgrep -Eo '(^|:)0*'
0
:
:0
$ # ah, old bugz :}
$ echo '1:1:01' | grep -Eo '(^|:)0*'
$ # surely, this is the same bug
$ echo '1:1:01' | bsdgrep -Eo '(^|:)0*'

$ # wtf?
=== a session on FreeBSD (10.1-RELEASE) ends ===

OK, let's see Linux.

=== a session on a GNU/Linux distrubution begins ===
$ echo '01:1:01' | grep -Eo '(^|:)0*'
0

:0
$ # OK, just like BSD-grep
$ echo '1:1:01' | grep -Eo '(^|:)0*'
:
:0
$ # correct!
=== a session on a GNU/Linux distrubution ends ===

More testing:

=== a session on FreeBSD (10.1-RELEASE) begins ===
$ echo 'bla bla' | bsdgrep -Eo '[[:alnum:]]*'
bla

$ # ???
$ printf 'bla\nbla\n' | bsdgrep -Eo ''
bla

bla

$ # ...
=== a session on FreeBSD (10.1-RELEASE) ends ===

=== a session on a GNU/Linux distrubution ends ===
$ echo 'bla bla' | bsdgrep -Eo '[[:alnum:]]*'
bla
bla
$ # most sensible
$ printf 'bla\nbla\n' | bsdgrep -Eo ''
$ # also sensible
=== a session on a GNU/Linux distrubution ends ===
