Hello.
In regex/utils.h there is a definition for DUPMAX:
#ifdef _POSIX2_RE_DUP_MAX
#define DUPMAX _POSIX2_RE_DUP_MAX
#else
#define DUPMAX 255
#endif
On Linux with glibc this effectively sets the DUPMAX count to 255. But I
think that this
number is too low, so there is no way to use a regex like .{1,256}
Is there any chance that this number will be increased or at least made
configurable?
I can make a patch if the maintainer is interested.
