--- Comment #36 from Zoltan Herczeg <hzmes...@freemail.hu> --- Landed another big patch which adds allocator support for other CPUs except Tile-GX. The good (bad) news is that on-the-fly code modifications are available again regardless of allocator. However it is not tested on real hardware only in qemu, which seems have issues with dual mapped files. Would be good to test the JIT compiler regression tests on real hardware as well. > If the code checked for the error and propagated it back to the > pcre2_jit_compile(), applications could handle it in the same way as if JIT > was unavailable at all (pcre2_jit_compile() would return > PCRE2_ERROR_JIT_BADOPTION). I am not sure I understand the reason behind this. The allocator may open several 64K+ tmp files, and if some of them are not successful, why should we return with BADOPTION? And PCRE always falls back to interpreted mode regardless of error. I also don't understand the following sentence: > The environment variable TMPDIR, if it is defined. For security reasons > this only happens if the program is not SUID or SGID enabled. This is again some security feature I don't understand. The echo $TMPDIR yields nothing on my system. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
