It replaces the regmatch_t with a dynarray list.

regexec.c is shared with Gnulib, so some work needed to be done on the Gnulib side for this patch since Gnulib didn't have dynarray. Dynarray is something I've been meaning to add to Gnulib for some time, so I did that by installing the first attached patch into Gnulib. Could you please propagate the new Gnulib dynarray sources into glibc so that they stay in sync? As near as I can make out, the glibc dynarray files can now be identical to the new Gnulib files; if not, please let me know.

These three hunks are good, but you can omit most of the other hunks (and improve performance a bit) by inserting the following line after the 3rd hunk:

+  regmatch_t *prev_idx_match = regmatch_list_begin (&prev_match);

since the dynarray doesn't grow after that and this means you don't need to change the rest of the code to use prev_match rather than prev_idx_match. The only other hunks you need to retain are the ones replacing re_free with regmastch_list_free.

I've made this improvement to Gnulib by installing the second attached patch, so you should be able to copy Gnulib regexec.c to glibc without changing it.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dynarray: new module
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* config/srclist.txt: Mention the new files.
* lib/cdefs.h (__attribute_maybe_unused__): New macro,
like Gnulib’s _GL_ATTRIBUTE_MAYBE_UNUSED but with glibc
naming conventions.
* lib/libc-config.h: Use it instead of __glibc_likely.
* lib/dynarray.h, modules/dynarray: New files.
* lib/malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c, lib/malloc/dynarray.h:
* lib/malloc/dynarray_at_failure.c:
* lib/malloc/dynarray_emplace_enlarge.c:
* lib/malloc/dynarray_finalize.c, lib/malloc/dynarray_resize.c:
* lib/malloc/dynarray_resize_clear.c, modules/dynarray:
New files, from glibc with the following changes needed for
portability to compilers that are not recent-enough GCC.
* lib/malloc/dynarray_at_failure.c: Include stdlib.h, for abort.
(__libc_dynarray_at_failure) [!_LIBC]: Simply abort.
* lib/malloc/dynarray_emplace_enlarge.c:
* lib/malloc/dynarray_resize.c:
Include intprops.h, and use INT_MULTIPLY_WRAPV instead
of __builtin_mul_overflow.
* lib/malloc/dynarray.h (__libc_dynarray_at_failure):
Use _Noreturn instead of __attribute__ ((noreturn)).
* lib/malloc/dynarray_resize_clear.c: Do not include stdlib.h;
it’s not needed.
(__libc_dynarray_resize_clear): Do not do arithmetic on void *.
* lib/malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c (struct DYNARRAY_STRUCT):
Do not use anonymous unions, as they are not in C99. All uses changed.
Use __nonnull (X) instead of __attribute__ ((nonnull X)),
and __attribute_maybe_unused__ instead of __attribute__ ((unused)).

+/* Pre-processor macros which act as parameters:
+
+   DYNARRAY_STRUCT
+      The struct tag of dynamic array to be defined.
+   DYNARRAY_ELEMENT
+      The type name of the element type.  Elements are copied
+      as if by memcpy, and can change address as the dynamic
+      array grows.
+   DYNARRAY_PREFIX
+      The prefix of the functions which are defined.
+
+   The following parameters are optional:
+
+   DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_FREE
+      DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_FREE (E) is evaluated to deallocate the
+      contents of elements. E is of type  DYNARRAY_ELEMENT *.
+   DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_INIT
+      DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_INIT (E) is evaluated to initialize a new
+      element.  E is of type  DYNARRAY_ELEMENT *.
+      If DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_FREE but not DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_INIT is
+      defined, new elements are automatically zero-initialized.
+      Otherwise, new elements have undefined contents.
+   DYNARRAY_INITIAL_SIZE
+      The size of the statically allocated array (default:
+      at least 2, more elements if they fit into 128 bytes).
+      Must be a preprocessor constant.  If DYNARRAY_INITIAL_SIZE is 0,
+      there is no statically allocated array at, and all non-empty
+      arrays are heap-allocated.
+   DYNARRAY_FINAL_TYPE
+      The name of the type which holds the final array.  If not
+      defined, is PREFIX##finalize not provided.  DYNARRAY_FINAL_TYPE
+      must be a struct type, with members of type DYNARRAY_ELEMENT and
+      size_t at the start (in this order).
+
+   These macros are undefined after this header file has been
+   included.
+
+   The following types are provided (their members are private to the

+/* To use the dynarray facility, you need to include
+   <malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c> and define the parameter macros
+   documented in that file.
+
+   A minimal example which provides a growing list of integers can be
+   defined like this:
+
+     struct int_array
+     {
+       // Pointer to result array followed by its length,
+       // as required by DYNARRAY_FINAL_TYPE.
+       int *array;
+       size_t length;
+     };
+
+     #define DYNARRAY_STRUCT dynarray_int
+     #define DYNARRAY_ELEMENT int
+     #define DYNARRAY_PREFIX dynarray_int_
+     #define DYNARRAY_FINAL_TYPE struct int_array
+     #include <malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c>
+
+   To create a three-element array with elements 1, 2, 3, use this
+   code:
+
+     struct dynarray_int dyn;
+     dynarray_int_init (&dyn);
+     for (int i = 1; i <= 3; ++i)
+       {
+         int *place = dynarray_int_emplace (&dyn);
+         assert (place != NULL);
+         *place = i;
+       }
+     struct int_array result;
+     bool ok = dynarray_int_finalize (&dyn, &result);
+     assert (ok);
+     assert (result.length == 3);
+     assert (result.array[0] == 1);
+     assert (result.array[1] == 2);
+     assert (result.array[2] == 3);
+     free (result.array);
+
+   If the elements contain resources which must be freed, define
+   DYNARRAY_ELEMENT_FREE appropriately, like this:
+
+     struct str_array
+     {
+       char **array;
+       size_t length;

+     #define DYNARRAY_FINAL_TYPE struct str_array
+     #include <malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c>
+
+   Compared to scratch buffers, dynamic arrays have the following
+   features:
+
+   - They have an element type, and are not just an untyped buffer of
+     bytes.
+
+   - When growing, previously stored elements are preserved.  (It is
+     expected that scratch_buffer_grow_preserve and
+     scratch_buffer_set_array_size eventually go away because all
+     current users are moved to dynamic arrays.)
+
+   - Scratch buffers have a more aggressive growth policy because
+     growing them typically means a retry of an operation (across an
+     NSS service module boundary), which is expensive.
+
+   - For the same reason, scratch buffers have a much larger initial
+     stack allocation.  */

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] regex: remove alloca usage on regex set_regs

Derived from this patch by Adhemerval Zanella:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-January/121372.html
* lib/regex_internal.h: Include dynarray.h, for Gnulib.
* lib/regexec.c (DYNARRAY_STRUCT, DYNARRAY_ELEMENT)
(DYNARRAY_PREFIX): New macros.
Include malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c.
(set_regs): Use dynarray rather than alloca.
* modules/regex (Depends-on): Add dynarray.
