PCRE_ASSIGN_JIT_STACK(3)PCRE_ASSIGN_JIT_STACK(3)NAME
PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcre.h>
void pcre_assign_jit_stack(pcre_extra *extra,
pcre_jit_callback callback, void *data);
DESCRIPTION
This function provides control over the memory used as a stack at run‐
time by a call to pcre_exec() with a pattern that has been successfully
compiled with JIT optimization. The arguments are:
extra the data pointer returned by pcre_study()
callback a callback function
data a JIT stack or a value to be passed to the callback
function
If callback is NULL and data is NULL, an internal 32K block on the
machine stack is used.
If callback is NULL and data is not NULL, data must be a valid JIT
stack, the result of calling pcre_jit_stack_alloc().
If callback not NULL, it is called with data as an argument at the
start of matching, in order to set up a JIT stack. If the result is
NULL, the internal 32K stack is used; otherwise the return value must
be a valid JIT stack, the result of calling pcre_jit_stack_alloc().
You may safely assign the same JIT stack to multiple patterns, as long
as they are all matched in the same thread. In a multithread applica‐
tion, each thread must use its own JIT stack. For more details, see the
pcrejit page.
There is a complete description of the PCRE native API in the pcreapi
page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcreposix page.
