## Regular Expression Engine
When enforcing a 'pattern' property, a regular expression engine is in used. By default, the DefaultRegexEngine use std::regex.
std::regex has no protection against catastrophic backtracking and implementation with gcc is so suboptimal that it can easily leads to segmentation fault.
One can customise the regular expression engine by implementing it's own wrapper to it and using a ValidatorT with the custom type.
When enforcing a 'pattern' property, a regular expression engine is used. By default, the default regular expression (`DefaultRegexEngine`) uses `std::regex`.
Unfortunaltey, `std::regex` has no protection against catastrophic backtracking and the implementation in gcc is so suboptimal that it can easily lead to segmentation faults.
This behaviour can be customised by implementing a wrapper for alternative regular expression engine.
To do this, you must implement the following interface:
The regular expression engine wrapper must implement the following interface
```cpp
struct MyRegexpEngine
{

// implementation specific
}
};
```
Then to use it
Then to use it, you must define a customer validator type:
```cpp
using MyValidator = ValidatorT<MyRegexpEngine>;
```
Once you've done this, `MyValidator` can be used in place of the default `valijson::Validator` type.
## Memory Management
Valijson has been designed to safely manage, and eventually free, the memory that is allocated while parsing a schema or validating a document. When working with an externally loaded schema (i.e. one that is populated using the `SchemaParser` class) you can rely on RAII semantics.
