IBM DFDL does not yet support lengthKind or testKind 'pattern' but when we do our intent is to use ICU's regex (http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings/regexp)

Subject:        [DFDL-WG] regex dialect considered too loose in spec
Sent by:        dfdl-wg-bounces@ogf.org

In a recent review meeting, a lot of discomfort was expressed by otherwise enthusiastic DFDL supporters, about our vagueness about regex-dialect accepted by DFDL.

What regex dialect is used by each of the IBM implementations (C/Java)? Are they compatible?
