Ruby bindings to RE2, a "fast, safe, thread-friendly alternative to backtracking regular expression engines like those used in PCRE, Perl, and Python".
Ruby's mkmf appears to list RbConfig::CONFIG['exec_prefix']/lib first in the search path when building a C extension. If you have libre2 installed in that path, the linker will use that library instead of the vendored library. This adds a test to ensure this case is covered.
