I am trying to see if all regex matches in one file are present 
in another file.
The code works; but, part way through the nested foreach(s) I get 
the error listed in the subject line.  I would think this error 
would come up when the Regex expressions were executed not when 
I'm iterating through the resultant matches.

Is there a better way to do this or can I just allocate more 
memory?
Thanks.

// Execute Regex expressions
auto uniCapturesOld = match(uniFileOld, regex(r"^NAME   = 
(?P<comp>[a-zA-Z0-9_]+):*(?P<blk>[a-zA-Z0-9_]*)","gm"));
auto uniCapturesNew = match(uniFileNew, regex(r"^NAME   = 
(?P<comp>[a-zA-Z0-9_]+):*(?P<blk>[a-zA-Z0-9_]*)","gm"));

// Iterate through match collections to see if both files contain 
the same matches.
     foreach (matchOld; uniCapturesOld) {
         cntOld++;
         found = false;
         foreach (matchNew; uniCapturesNew) {
             cntNew++;
             // Following line is for troublshooting.
             writeln(cntOld,"  ",cntNew,"  ",matchOld.hit,"  
",matchNew.hit);
             if (matchOld.hit == matchNew.hit) {found=true;break;}}
         if (!found) writeln(cntNF++," ",matchOld.hit," not 
found);}

To get next match engine is run again, then again for the next match and 
so on - it's lazy evaluation at it's finest (how knows maybe you'll 
break loop half-way through). Obviously it either looses some RAM in 
between calls or it just bugs out when reaches some specific text.

Looks like you found a bug. Meaning that I probably miscalculated 
required amount of RAM or lose some free list nodes between calls.

File a bug report, keep in mind that I need the data to reproduce it.

Untill I figure it out, I recommend to fallback on bmatch function that 
is slower and in general unbound on used memory but should work.

Another idea - try to modify one of regexes insignificantly, so that 
they don't reuse data structures internally (just in case it has to do 
with that).

 // Execute Regex expressions
 auto uniCapturesOld = match(uniFileOld, regex(r"^NAME =
 (?P<comp>[a-zA-Z0-9_]+):*(?P<blk>[a-zA-Z0-9_]*)","gm"));
 auto uniCapturesNew = match(uniFileNew, regex(r"^NAME =
 (?P<comp>[a-zA-Z0-9_]+):*(?P<blk>[a-zA-Z0-9_]*)","gm"));


 // Iterate through match collections to see if both files contain the
 same matches.
 foreach (matchOld; uniCapturesOld) {
 cntOld++;
 found = false;
 foreach (matchNew; uniCapturesNew) {
 cntNew++;
 // Following line is for troublshooting.
 writeln(cntOld," ",cntNew," ",matchOld.hit," ",matchNew.hit);
 if (matchOld.hit == matchNew.hit) {found=true;break;}}
 if (!found) writeln(cntNF++," ",matchOld.hit," not found);}
