https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12691 Issue ID: 12691 Summary: std.regex.bmatch with empty string after OR operator crashes with free(): invalid pointer Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Phobos Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: yxcvbasdfgqwert02 gmx.de Created attachment 1349 --> https://issues.dlang.org/attachment.cgi?id=1349&action=edit Source code for test case Certain expressions/haystacks seem to trigger a memory error in std.regex.bmatch. In the attached source code, the regular expression is kind-of stupid, however it should be either treated as wrong (std.regex.regex should throw an exception) or should work, but never crash. In the test case, the expression "([a-z]|)" uses an empty string after the OR operator. The crash also occurred on a more complex expression with 2 OR operators beneath, containing something like "a||b". Using match instead of bmatch returns the expected result: the expression doesn't match the haystack. Btw, I used bmatch instead of match because bmatch is way faster (see issue 12690). --
