# BigCodeBench/6
Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; define `task_func` at module level.
Allowed libraries: `re`, `os`.
```python
import os
import re
def task_func(pattern, log_dir='/var/log/'):
"""
Find the latest log file in a specified directory that matches a given regex pattern.
This function searches through all files in the specified directory, filters them based on the provided regex pattern,
and returns the path to the most recent log file based on modification time. If no files match the pattern or the directory
is empty, the function returns None.
Parameters:
pattern (str): The regex pattern to match the names of the log files.
log_dir (str, optional): The directory to search for log files. Defaults to '/var/log/'.
Returns:
str or None: The path to the most recent log file that matches the pattern, or None if no matching files are found.
Requirements:
- os
- re
Example:
>>> task_func(r'^access.log.[0-9]+$', '/var/log/')
'/var/log/access.log.1234'

Proposed solution
```python
import os
import re
def task_func(pattern, log_dir='/var/log/'):
latest_file = None
latest_mtime = -1
try:
files = os.listdir(log_dir)
except (FileNotFoundError, NotADirectoryError):
return None
for filename in files:
if re.search(pattern, filename):
filepath = os.path.join(log_dir, filename)
if os.path.isfile(filepath):
try:
mtime = os.path.getmtime(filepath)
if mtime > latest_mtime:
latest_mtime = mtime
latest_file = filepath
except OSError:
continue
return latest_file
