Finding first non-white-space fails sometimes

[avih]

gitCodeLensProvider.ts has the following line:

         let startChar = line.text.search(`\\b${symbol.name}\\b`); //line.firstNonWhitespaceCharacterIndex;

However, it seems that on some cases symbol.name ends up as the entire source code line with whatever chars it has in it, and sometimes it breaks the regex.

I've replaced it locally with this which seems to work:

        var startChar = -1;
        try {
            startChar = line.text.search("\\b\\" + symbol.name + "\\b"); //line.firstNonWhitespaceCharacterIndex;
        } catch (e) {
            var i = 0, c;
            while ((c = line.text[i]) && (c == ' ' || c == '\t'))
                i++;
            startChar = c ? i : -1;
        }

but there are probably cleaner approaches for the fix.
