[bug-gawk] An Issue About --re-interval And --traditional

[Yan Lei]

Hi,


    I got some problem when using gawk with options --re-interval and
--traditional.
    As it is said on the gawk manpage, if --re-interval or -r is provided,
interval expressions in regular expression will be allowed, even if
--traditional or -c is provided. But when I tried the following command,
it did not run as expected:
    echo -e "aabbbc\naaabcc" | gawk --traditional -r '/b{2,}/'
    My expected output was aabbbc, but acturally, I got nothing. So please
kindly tell me if it was due to my command or the gawk itself.
    My environment is:
        Machine: x86_64
        OS: linux-gnu
        Compiler: gcc
        uname output: Linux RHEL7U0Alpha2-Intel64 3.3.0-0.20.el7.x86_64 #1
                      SMP Mon Jul 9 16:28:22 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 
GNU/Linux
        Machine Type: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu

    Thanks a lot!

Best Regards.
Yan
