digitalmars.D - D std.regex is so slow

Do you know why?

Here is a code:
https://github.com/mariomka/regex-benchmark/blob/master/d/benchmark.d

I have try it with ldc too, but is still much slower (10x) than 
PHP

Most likely everything below D is being JIT'd.

Well I'd be interested in getting the data. The benchmark looks fine. --- Dmitry Olshansky

Might get some gain by compiling with '-flto-full'. Was faster on a regex test I ran, though not nearly the deltas shown. --Jon

Looks like they added ldc to it. I'm seeing 3x slower than PHP on Email and URI, but roughly par on IP. It really stands out on the DMD one how much better it does on the IP one than the Email/URI ones.

IP is detected to be "semi-fixed" thus hitting a nice fast path. Others would have worked with BitNFA, a patch that we had to revert because auto-tester run out of memory.

Is there a plan to make BitNFA back? Is possible that newCTFE will improve
problem with memory? Or it is possible to improve those slow cases?

Yes, the moment we have CTFE that doesn't leak.

It should but it doesn't support classes and exceptions. I need them.

There are many other things but BitNFA is a nobrainer - all the work has been already done and it is super fast where applicable. --- Dmitry Olshansky

Hmm. I have tested old version od dmd and ldc with BitNFA, but it does not
help much with those two cases

actual version of ldc:

240.964 - 92
211.433 - 5301
6.76683 - 5

ldc 1.2:
215.158 - 92
190.255 - 5301
6.58155 - 5

So there is some improvments but not as much as I would expected.

I'm going to test BitNFA myself but for the curious, the phobos branch is: https://github.com/DmitryOlshansky/phobos/tree/ctfe-bitnfa?files=1
