</p>
<p>
Usually,
LPeg evaluates all captures only after (and if) the entire match succeeds.
During <em>match time</em> it only gathers enough information
to produce the capture values later.
As a particularly important consequence,
LPeg does not specify when (and if) it evaluates its captures.
(As an example,
consider the pattern <code>lpeg.P"a" / func / 0</code>.
Because the "division" by 0 instructs LPeg to throw away the
results from the pattern,
LPeg may or may not call <code>func</code>.)
Therefore, captures should avoid side effects.
Moreover,
most captures cannot affect the way a pattern matches a subject.
The only exception to this rule is the
so-called <a href="#matchtime"><em>match-time capture</em></a>.
