I did not meant we should really do that, only that it is not that simple just to copy it properly.
Probably we can remove the set of error field from match() at all.

It has next code:

  if (rc != 0) {
    // regexec can fail due to invalid pattern or running out of memory.
    error = rc;
    return false;
  }

I do not think that set a srror in case of invalid pattern is fine. As we might want to call it second time with valid one.
Out of memory probably is the error we can ignore.
Method anyways return bool result, that should be enough.
