regex.3: Note that pmatch is still used if REG_NOSUB if REG_STARTEND
In the regexec() signature
regmatch_t pmatch[restrict .nmatch],
is a simplification. It's actually
regmatch_t pmatch[restrict
((.preg->flags & REG_NOSUB) ? 0 : .nmatch) ?:
!!(.eflags & REG_STARTEND)],
But speccing that would be insane.
