[Florin Papa]

New submission from Florin Papa:

Hi all,

This is Florin Papa from the Server Languages Optimizations Team at Intel Corporation.

The patch submitted here solves a crash occurring on Python 2.7 and 3.6 when running the regex_compile benchmark. The clear_cache() call was replaced with re.purge().

To apply the patch please follow these steps:

hg clone https://hg.python.org/benchmarks
cd benchmarks/
copy fix_regex_compile.patch to the current directory
hg import --no-commit fix_regex_compile.patch

Thank you,
Florin Papa
