Hmm makes me wonder what the result of running this fuzzing test on other regex libraries would be.


Rust's regex crate has fuzzing running against it, and that has lead to a lot of useful small fixes: https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/pull/262


pcre has been fuzzed by quite a few people a while ago, I remember also having reported a couple of issues. When I tested re2 nothing showed up. oniguruma also had quite a few issues, I tested it with libfuzzer lately. But everything should be fixed now.
