--- Comment #4 from Philip Hazel <p...@hermes.cam.ac.uk> --- The input to pcre2test is always 8-bit. If the utf option is set, that pattern and its test data are interpreted as UTF-8 characters. If you set the -16 or -32 options, the characters that are defined in UTF-8 are converted to UTF-16 or UTF-32 before being passed to the relevant PCRE2 library. Thus, the same input works for all 3 libraries. This particular pattern fails fast in 8-bit mode because it is too big. If you compile --with-link-size=3 the 8-bit pattern behaves in the same way as the 16- and 32-bit patterns - that is, it is accepted but JIT takes a long time. -- 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
