Ah, I should have explained better that libpcre's JIT support is implemented as own virtual machine, and libpcre has functions to use a custom stack which is allocated on the heap. If these functions are not used (as it's now in ext/pcre) a fixed 32K on the machine stack are used.[1] Anyhow, it is not possible to change the stack (size) during a call to pcre_exec() (unless, maybe, libpcre would be modified), and it is not possible (to my knowledge) to calculate the required stack size in advance. The required stack size depends on pattern and subject. So basically, we have to call pcre_exec(), and if it fails due to limited stack size, we either fail as well, or we try again. In the latter case we could either use a bigger stack or do without JIT. In the former case we should at least give users a setting to choose the desired stack size, which is quite comparable to pcre.backtrack_limit and pcre.recursion_limit. Therefore I tend to prefer a new ini setting (say, pcre.jitstack_limit). That would mean, however, to add yet another ini setting, of which there are already so many.
