[pypy-issue] [issue1741] SRE_Pattern.search() of buffer object produces copy

[dw]

dw <dw at botanicus.net> added the comment:

Per IRC chat, the bug is not with regexes, but relying on a CPython-specific
ability to zero-copy search over a buffer. The behaviour in this bug is due to
repeatedly copying a 1.8gb mailbox to a string.
