Please note that GCC 4.8 is not capable of building correctly operating Squid-4 either. So its not a matter of GCC 4.8 vs Squid.
The 4.8 does not have any problem. I was doing all of my developments and tests using GCC-4.8 and never found a problem, an incompatibility something does not work well.
On my side I upgraded my development system, however this is not something which can be done without spending a lot of hours. Also maybe required to upgrade 1-2 virtual machines I am using.
We should define at least a warning period before applying such changes in squid.
there anyway and probably already being linked to Squid as -lregex. The other cases it is supposed to be implemented by something faster, like libpcre. The benefits to Squid are that the API is standardized and we dont have to care about which library is linked any more. In all cases it should be using either the same library as before behind the STL API, or something better.
The regex library is small, it has a small number of API functions. And Personally I do not remember a case the regex causes problems.
Also, my opinion is that if pcre is faster we should consider to use them. At least have it as a todo.
