Phillip Cloud commented on ARROW-2224:
--------------------------------------
The "should" here isn't related to linking issues, rather, it's related to
performance. See here for some benchmarks:
http://lh3lh3.users.sourceforge.net/reb.shtml
Those benchmarks are now coming up on 8 years old, so we should revisit that.
Some of the linking issues might be mitigated by using {{<regex>}} on Windows
and {{regcomp}} on UNIX platforms. I'm unaware of the perils of that solution
(if any).
