Summary: REGEX REPLACE fails if () capture is empty
Description:
string(REGEX REPLACE) fails for certain patterns with 'matched an empty string'
error if a capture grood is empty, even if the full match is non-empty.
Steps to Reproduce:
set(input foo)
string(REGEX REPLACE "^([^.]*)(\\..*)?$" "\\1" output ${input})
Additional Information:
CMake is correctly matching the regular expression (as can be seen by examining
the captures), and the overall pattern (which is the old text to be replaced) is
non-empty, so there should be no problem. (Even more interestingly, while the
above pattern triggers the problem, other patterns which one might expect to
tickle the same glitch do not.)
