No, but have you tried compiling with it? We disable stack recursion
because otherwise, when pcre needs more stack space than allocated in
the library, the program crashes. Prior to adopting the no-stack
approach, some of the tests in pcretest crashed.
Never saw these size allocation errors in pcretest results with 7.0. In
pcre 7.0, I was able to produce dll libraries with configure followed by
make (in Msys/MinGW), but it failed to produce pcretest.exe. This is how
I used to produce pcretest.exe:
$ cd .libs
$ gcc -L./ -o pcretest.exe ../pcretest.o -lpcre
Native and posix functions were all in pcre.dll (a separate
pcreposix.dll file was also produced by 7.0's configure/make but not used).
Apparently until the Cmake process is ready, my ability to test is going
to be sorely limited. I tried replacing the c source files in a fresh
pcre-7.0 dir with the ones from pcre-7.1RC2 to see if I could build
pcre.dll and pcretest.exe the way I used to, but it didn't work.
BTW, you might want to tell that person writing to the web site to look
at the sample program and the google programs.
