Hm, not exactly. Re2 never said that. They have a list of available features, and the more interesting ones are all grayed out: https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax Linear runtime doesn't make it faster than PCRE. Sometimes it is much faster, sometimes it is much slower, sometimes they have the same speed. You can see some interesting facts in my presentation on CGO 2014: http://cgo.org/cgo2014/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Extend_PCRE.pdf Regards, Zoltan -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
