With this patch (who is based on a-fixed.diff, committed earlerly),
who use templated member functions instead of templating the whole
_Compiler, time consumption is:
g++ -g -Wall -std=c++11 -g -Wall -std=c++11 -O3 regextest.cc  3.79s
user 0.14s system 98% cpu 3.981 total

Comparing to 4.5s it's better and probably fine.

Booted and tested with -m32 and -m64 respectively.

After this patch I plan to instantiate _Compiler and _Executor.
