Crashing program
The following code, crashes for some instances of line (as given in the
attachment):
std::regex lineExp("tpie::update_fractions\\([ ]*\"([^\"]+)\"[ ]*,[ ]*([^, ]+)[
]*,[ ]*([^\\) ]+)[ ]*\\);.*", std::regex::extended);
std::string line = <some_long_string_here>
std::smatch matches;
std::regex_match(line, matches, lineExp);
The crash ocure as we are running out of stack space in some possible infinite
recurtion. The context of the code can be seen here
