I guess the reason is the regex code that is really old which is used for Windows builds.
Maybe we could use GRegex now we have a GLib recent enough?
I'm now working on porting lregex.c to GRegex, I think it might be compatible enough. I'll commit it to unstable if it goes OK.
Now done. This fixes my performance issue with doc/geany.html. Needs testing though. Regex parsers are:
actionscript cobol html php R

I think Colomban's idea of using GRegex is great in that all systems will then have the same regex behaviour. The old situation was a support headache.
GRegex is more reliable besides being more powerful, based on PCRE. The Windows version (at least) of GNU regex we had didn't understand Mac line endings for ^, $.
Cool! By the way, are the #ifdef HAVE_REGEX needed? From glib sources it seems GRegex either uses system pcre or built-in pcre so you should have always regex support.
