I am not sure what the non-capturing variant of the grouping operator is. Is that the '?:' ? I have never seen that used in a scan-assembler anywhere else. But this patch does seem to work for me: -/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-times "byte.*?0x3.*? DW_AT_inline" 3 } } */ +/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-times "(?:byte|data1)\[^\n\]*0x3\[^\n\]* DW_AT_inline" 3 } } */ I'll let it run tonight on my other platforms to make sure it works on more then IA64 HP-UX before submitting it.
