searchsorted(Float64[], 0.0)

On master:

julia> searchsorted(Float64[], 0.0)
ERROR: BoundsError()
 in searchsorted at sort.jl:163
 in searchsorted at sort.jl:204

On 0.2:

julia> searchsorted(Float64[], 0.0)
1:0

The old behavior was intentional and correct, so this is a regression.

@tanmaykm, you seem to be using the internal methods of searchsorted [e0dd47d, 1254792, a4ff37e] – am I correct that this is only inside of base, meaning that we can count on the calling code being correct (i.e. if it isn't it's our fault)?

[tanmaykm]

Yes, the calling code does the necessary checks to be correct and this is used only inside base.

[StefanKarpinski]

Ok, that's good.
