Greetings.

I was using ctRegex in 2.059 without any issue, but since 2.060 
came out some problems raised.

First of all:
*First read whole message before compiling*
http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/cfb9710d - takes 8senonds to compile on 
8CPU Xeon with 16gb RAM, freezes my local computer - same happens 
to other folks on #d

Is it some kind of regression or my regexp is somehow corrupted?

Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Damian Ziemba

a ctRegex kills my computer, it makes dmd use up all my ram. But that 
was already the case with 2.059 (well I "just" have 4 Cores and 32 bit, 
with 4gb ram installed)

Yes, I don't now about 2.059 (I've just recently make my comeback to D) but 
very simple ctRegex-es take pretty quickly all the memory (6GB) of my 
laptop.

Hmm, I had no problems with it in 2.059 on my local notebook (i5, 
4gb ram, 64bit Arch Linux/Gentoo Linux)

As an author even I can't recall offhand if (and when) it did work fine 
w.r.t. time spent to do its unholy thing.

Well \w is a huge character set (see Unicode) at run-time making optimal 
bit 2-level trie out of it is okay and takes only few ms.
At CTFE though it takes a ton of RAM and up to few minutes to do so.

Well there are no significant changes to std.regex that I did since 
2.058. Now the compiler is changing and so does CTFE, and so do some 
Phobos things. I recall there even was a snapshot of dmd that doesn't 
eat RAM like crazy at CTFE (maybe yours 2.059?).
Too bad I can't recall the exact commit.
