[bug-gawk] Efficient regex library which I can use in my C++ code?

[Alec Taylor]

Good afternoon,

I am looking for the most efficient open-source C++ regex library.

Reading this article: http://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html - It
seems that GNU awk is the best overall:

Can you recommend an embeddable C++ library which offers the same or
better efficient of gawk, with a similar permissive open-source
license?

Thanks for all information,

Alec Taylor
