Hi all!
I found out that compiling following regexp:
^.{1,32}$
is very slow. I've thought I have a bug in my code, later on I've
thought regexp 1.2 is buggy and is cycling somewhere in endless loop.
However, expression is compiled, but the time it takes to do so is
unacceptable. Each time you increase the second number, time to
compute/compile expression raises exponentially.
I wonder: is it just unoptimized code or it is simply hard to compile
such an expression? May it be optimized?
