Re: [pcre-dev] Preparation for using JIT under S390
For some reason I do not receive all emails from pcre-dev, so I am answering my own email. I tried several attempts to disengage the code from the 'Linux only' approach. Unfortunately, this is unnecessarily too involved and include usage of non-standard (outside of *nix world) headers such as auxv.h, elf.h and elf/elf.h. This is done not only in the allocator as I had hoped, but also in the S390 actual module. I contend that this is a wrong approach and I formally protest that to the steering committee. But I guess that nobody would listen to me. Since I am a one person team with no corporation sponsors, and have a day job, I had to abandon the effort for now. Is it possible to contact IBM and have them look at the matter, please.

Hi Ze'ev, you can follow the discussion here: https://github.com/zherczeg/sljit/issues/89 The current aim of the project is Linux only, and no plans for mainframe support.

[pcre-dev] Preparation for using JIT under S390
Good morningI am aware that the JIT under S390 (IBM mainframe) is experimental. However, I am one of the main interested parties as I maintain the port for z/OS. Which is currently the only port that successfully run on S390. I would like to begin testing the JIT version in my port. I won't release it to the public before Zoltan makes it available to the public, but I can and would provide valuable information. The question is to Zoltan and his team. What options do you think I should use. And what other pieces of information could you provide so I can fast start my port.
