PCRE2 — Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

Synopsis

#include <pcre2.h>
int pcre2_jit_compile( pcre2_code *code,
  uint32_t options);
 

DESCRIPTION

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 pcre2jit(3) 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

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.

There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api(3) page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcre2posix(3) page.
