preg_match and preg_match_all both do not set $matches on regex fail, leaving as it was set prior to call

Description

The following code:

<?php // preg_match_all.php
$matches = [0 => 'Orange',
            1 => 'Apple',
            2 => 'Banana',
            3 => 'Monkey'];
$result = preg_match_all('aeiou{0,', 'ou', $matches);
var_dump($result);
var_dump($matches);

$result = preg_match('aeiou{0,', 'ou', $matches);
var_dump($result);
var_dump($matches);

Resulted in this output from command line %php preg_match_all.php:

PHP Warning:  preg_match_all(): Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in preg_match_all.php on line 6
PHP Stack trace:

}

    [3] =>

}

But I expected this output instead:

PHP Stack trace:

Reproduisez les appels fournis à preg_match() et preg_match_all() avec le motif invalide sur PHP 7.4.27, puis suivez les deux APIs dans l’interpréteur PHP. La tâche est terminée lorsqu’une correspondance échouée ne laisse plus inchangé le contenu précédent de $matches de l’appelant, avec une couverture de régression pour les deux fonctions.
