Summary:
* Consolidate use of std::regex for testing to testharness.cc, to
minimize Facebook linters constantly flagging uses in non-production
code.
* Improve syntax and error messages for asserting some string matches a
regex in tests.
* Add a public Regex wrapper class to encapsulate existing usage in
ObjectRegistry.
* Remove unnecessary include <regex>
* Put warnings that use of Regex in production code could cause bad
performance or stack overflow.
Intended follow-up work:
* Replace std::regex with another underlying implementation like RE2
* Improve ObjectRegistry interface in terms of possibly confusing literal
string matching vs. regex and in terms of reporting invalid regex.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8740
Test Plan:
tests updated, basic unit test for public Regex, and some manual
testing of temporary changes to see example error messages:
utilities/backupable/backupable_db_test.cc:917: Failure
000010_1162373755_138626.blob (child.name)
does not match regex
[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+[.]blobHAHAHA (pattern)
db/db_basic_test.cc:74: Failure
R3SHSBA8C4U0CIMV2ZB0 (sid3)
does not match regex [0-9A-Z]{20}HAHAHA
