I see. It's a shame there's no solution, but thanks for this link. It explains some of the differences in performance I see between extglobs and regexes.

You've exceeded your stack size limit with the recursion needed to implement the +(pat) operator.

There was a discussion about this last year:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2022-10/msg00048.html

There's no good solution.

Pattern substitutions with long matches (~80KiB) cause bash to crash with SIGSEGV. Here's an example that crashes on bash 5.2.15.


#!/usr/bin/env bash
shopt -s extglob

text=$(python3 -c 'print("a" * 1024 * 80)')
pattern=$'+([[:alpha:]])'
sub=${text//$pattern/}  # Segmentation fault
echo "${#sub}"
