RE: [musl] SIGSEV error when using REGEX with musl library

["Quesada Gonzalez, Elena" <elena.quesada_gonzalez@siemens.com>]

Hi, 

A simple main with the following code, should replicate the error.

#include <regex>
void main()
{

    std::regex regexp("^[a-z0-9]{1,8}$");
    std::string s = ("0xAz10145274");
    if (false == std::regex_search(s, regexp))
     {
         // Only fatal. Statement is not initialized yet.
         printf("Invalid regex [%s]\n", __FUNCTION__);
       exit(1);
      }
    else {
          printf("Regex ok [%s]\n", __FUNCTION__);
    }
}

Thanks for your time

Do you have a complete minimal-ish test case that can be compiled and show the same thing happening? Even just a dummy main() to call the above the way you expect it to be called?
