For consistency with -L/RE/, teach -L:RE to search relative to the end of the previous -L range, if any. The new behavior invalidates one test in t4211 which assumes that -L:RE begins searching at start of file. This test will be resurrected in a follow-up patch which teaches -L:RE how to override the default relative search behavior.

<start> and <end> can take one of these forms:
|
|
|
|
- number
|
|
+
|
|
If <start> or <end> is a number, it specifies an
|
|
absolute line number (lines count from 1).
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
- /regex/
|
|
+
|
|
This form will use the first line matching the given
|
|
POSIX regex. If <start> is a regex, it will search from the end of
|
|
the previous `-L` range, if any, otherwise from the start of file.
|
|
If <start> is ``^/regex/'', it will search from the start of file.
|
|
If <end> is a regex, it will search
|
|
starting at the line given by <start>.
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
- +offset or -offset
|
|
+
|
|
This is only valid for <end> and will specify a number
|
|
of lines before or after the line given by <start>.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
If ``:<regex>'' is given in place of <start> and <end>, it denotes the range
|
|
from the first funcname line that matches <regex>, up to the next
|
|
funcname line. ``:<regex>'' searches from the end of the previous `-L` range,
|
|
if any, otherwise from the start of file.
