This is a graph of the FSM generated by smack.rs for the following patterns: We can observe that there is a missing edge from state 2 to state 3 for the character a (if we read ^aa, we should end up in 3). |

When two patterns are added to the smack, with wildcards, and such as wildcards of one pattern overlaps the other one, the smack fails to match in some situations.
The minimalistic example that has been added as a test case (failing for now) is the following:
In this example, the last search (
xxxxaxabcd) fails, while it shouldn't:a, it still could be either of the two patterns,xis read, then it should be decided that it cannot be the second pattern,Note that this don't happen if the first
ain the string to parse is replaced by abfor instance.
