OK, it looks like that should work, and seemed to work here when I
passed the regex to grep -E linked with musl's regex. Can you provide
a minimal self-contained C program to demonstrate the issue you're
having?
BTW which "()?" are you talking about? The whole first parenthesized
subsexpression and the ? after it? I wouldn't call that an atom, but
nothing seems wrong with it.
