            Bug ID: 70459
           Summary: regex segfault on long sequences
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.3.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: chaoskeeper at mail dot ru
  Target Milestone: ---

A detailed description and tests are given at SO
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36304204/%D0%A1-regex-segfault-on-long-sequences),
in short

std::regex r("\\s+");
std::string out = std::regex_replace(cstring, r, " ");

crashes with SIGSEGV on strings with long space sequences (-O3 can handle
around 20k spaces, -O0 handles 12k). Clang produce similar results. Switching
to libc++ cures the crashes.


Crash dump shows lengthy stack (35k frames) of 

std::__detail::_Executor<char*, std::allocator<std::__cxx11::sub_match<char*>
>, std::__cxx11::regex_traits<char>, true>::_M_dfs

calls.
