[PATCH] D58784: [FileCheck]Remove assertions that prevent matching an empty string at file start before CHECK-NEXT/SAME

[Thomas Preud'homme via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

thopre added a comment.

If we are talking about matching a specific line (in this case the first line), I wonder if we could not extend the syntax of directives to accept a line number, e.g. CHECK-EMPTY-L1. Or if we think only the first line deserve to be checked explicitely simply a CHECK-FIRST. The fact that we are arguing about what would the meaning of CHECK-SAME and CHECK-NEXT on the first line be suggests that it would confuse lots of users. After all you are the most familiar people with that piece of software.
