PCRE2_JIT_MATCH(3)    DragonFly Library Functions Manual    PCRE2_JIT_MATCH(3)


NAME

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)


SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_jit_match(const pcre2_code *code, PCRE2_SPTR subject,
         PCRE2_SIZE length, PCRE2_SIZE startoffset,
         uint32_t options, pcre2_match_data *match_data,
         pcre2_match_context *mcontext);


DESCRIPTION

       This function matches a compiled regular expression that has been
       successfully processed by the JIT compiler against a given subject
       string, using a matching algorithm that is similar to Perl's. It is a
       "fast path" interface to JIT, and it bypasses some of the sanity checks
       that pcre2_match() applies.  Its arguments are exactly the same as for
       pcre2_match(), except that the subject string must be specified with a
       length; PCRE2_ZERO_TERMINATED is not supported.

       The supported options are PCRE2_NOTBOL, PCRE2_NOTEOL, PCRE2_NOTEMPTY,
       PCRE2_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART, PCRE2_PARTIAL_HARD, and PCRE2_PARTIAL_SOFT.
       Unsupported options are ignored. The subject string is not checked for
       UTF validity.

       The return values are the same as for pcre2_match() plus
       PCRE2_ERROR_JIT_BADOPTION if a matching mode (partial or complete) is
       requested that was not compiled. For details of partial matching, see
       the pcre2partial page.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api
       page and a description of the JIT API in the pcre2jit page.
