Subject: [PATCH 5/5] grep: don't extend context to trailing empty lines with -W

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 21 May 2016 20:47:06 +0200

Empty lines between functions are shown by grep -W, as it considers them
to be part of the function preceding them.  They are not interesting in
most languages.  The previous patches stopped showing them for diff -W.

Stop showing empty lines trailing a function with grep -W.  Grep scans
the lines of a buffer from top to bottom and prints matching lines
immediately.  Thus we need to peek ahead in order to determine if an
empty line is part of a function body and worth showing or not.

Remember how far ahead we peeked in order to avoid having to do so
repeatedly when handling multiple consecutive empty lines.
