It's faster but nothing to do with optimization. It's because my first patch set the DFS approach by default, which is faster in common case but has bad worst case performance. Try your testcase and regex_match("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", regex("(a*){30}")) with/without defining _GLIBCXX_REGEX_USE_THOMPSON_NFA in the trunk version. -- Regards, Tim Shen
