[cfe-dev] searching for an empty string in an empty string

Hi,

What should be the value of a pos variable in the following piece of code?

auto pos = std::string().find("");

I couldn't find answer to that and noticed it varies between standard
library implementations. For most I've checked pos is 0 (libstdc++, libcxx,
msvc). I noticed it is npos for Oracle Solaris SunPRO. I think that both
results are explainable. Is it an UB?

Regards,
Tomek
