PCRE2_JIT_COMPILE 3 "29 July 2019" "PCRE2 10.34"
NAME
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
SYNOPSIS
.rs #include <pcre2.h>

 int pcre2_jit_compile(pcre2_code *code, uint32_t options); 
.
DESCRIPTION
.rs This function requests JIT compilation, which, if the just-in-time compiler is available, further processes a compiled pattern into machine code that executes much faster than the pcre2_match() interpretive matching function. Full details are given in the HREF
pcre2jit
documentation.

The first argument is a pointer that was returned by a successful call to pcre2_compile(), and the second must contain one or more of the following bits: PCRE2_JIT_COMPLETE compile code for full matching PCRE2_JIT_PARTIAL_SOFT compile code for soft partial matching PCRE2_JIT_PARTIAL_HARD compile code for hard partial matching There is also an obsolete option called PCRE2_JIT_INVALID_UTF, which has been superseded by the pcre2_compile() option PCRE2_MATCH_INVALID_UTF. The old option is deprecated and may be removed in the future.

The yield of the function is 0 for success, or a negative error code otherwise. In particular, PCRE2_ERROR_JIT_BADOPTION is returned if JIT is not supported or if an unknown bit is set in options. The function can also return PCRE2_ERROR_NOMEMORY if JIT is unable to allocate executable memory for the compiler, even if it was because of a system security restriction.

There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the HREF
pcre2api
page and a description of the POSIX API in the HREF
pcre2posix
page.
