Subject: [ruby-core:24201] [Bug #1740](Rejected) ruby regexp 100% usage cpu.

Issue #1740 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Status changed from Open to Rejected

Too many backtracks consume a lot of time.
You can use (?>...) to suppress backtracking:
  reg = %r{(?><div\s*class\s*=\s*.entry.*?>.*?<img\b[^<>]*\s+src\s*=\s*.([^\"|\']*).*?>).*?<p\s*class\s*=\s*.date.*?>}im
