Neither POSIX basic nor extended regular expressions support \b as word boundary. GNU regex and our compat/regex/ do, as extensions. macOS regex supports it if the flag REG_ENHANCED is given to regcomp(3). So perhaps this is rather a feature request to support Perl regular expressions for -G (and probably -S as well). Or to enable REG_ENHANCED for them, at least, like 54463d32ef (use enhanced basic regular expressions on macOS, 2023-01-08) did to get alternations for git grep on macOS. René
