[ruby-core:116522] [Ruby master Bug#20228] Memory leak in Regexp timeout

Issue #20228 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).


Good find, thanks!

I'm a little concerned about the overhead of `rb_protect` for a typical simple match, but it's neglectable?

If a Regexp::TimeoutError is raised, the `stk_base` and `OnigRegion` will leak.

For example:

```ruby
Regexp.timeout = 0.001
regex = /^(a*)*$/
str = "a" * 1000000 + "x"

10.times do
  100.times do
    begin
      regex =~ str
    rescue
    end
  end

  puts `ps -o rss= -p #{$$}`
end
```
