Bug #77349 [Ver]: prce-jit / bundled pcre versions

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77349&edit=1 ID: 77349 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: spam2 at rhsoft dot net Summary: prce-jit / bundled pcre versions Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: PCRE related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 7.2.13 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > Changing to documentation problem. Aargh![1] @nikic I believe you are right wrt. PHP 7.3, but it seems that for 7.2 it is not possible to override available JIT support[2]. If this is indeed so, it would have merely forgotten to update the help text – or maybe not even this, since --with-pcre-jit would not work, if libpcre had been compiled without JIT support; only --without-pcre-jit would work in all cases. > the bundeled 8.41 2017-07-05 should be updated anyways, […] If there are bugs which affect our PCRE binding, yes. However, in my opinion, this should be filed as separate issue(s).

Whether it's available at all depends on the external library, but you can still specify --without-pcre-jit to explicitly disable it (afaik). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-26 23:02:40] cmb@php.net > so hwat is state fo play here? If the bundled libpcre is used, it is compiled from scratch with or without JIT support. If an external libpcre is used, it has already been compiled with or without JIT support. Therefore this compile time option only applies to bundled libpcre. Changing to documentation problem. While we're at it, we also should update the “Upgrade history of the bundled PCRE library”. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-26 20:29:25] spam2 at rhsoft dot net Description: ------------ PHP 7.2.x configure --help says --with-pcre-jit Enable PCRE JIT functionality (BUNDLED only) besides that the bundled version is horrible outdated phpinfo() says jit suüport enabled also when built agianst system pcre-devel so hwat is state fo play here? PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) Support enabled PCRE Library Version 8.42 2018-03-20 PCRE JIT Support enabled PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) Support enabled PCRE Library Version 8.41 2017-07-05 PCRE JIT Support enabled ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77349&edit=1
