Since the JIT is more dependent on the platfrom than a generic C code there is a much higher probability of various platform dependent errors, and I can test only a limited number of systems. To make JIT work everywhere I really depend on you, guys!

The strange thing is that its current state shouldn't call JIT at all since its support is totally missing from RunTest.bat and the basic tests does not force JIT compilation. This is true for forcing pcre_study. Could you send me the differences as well?

Could you send me a static, debug, standalone binary (in privately) which contains only this failing test case? If there is no external library dependency, I could debug it on my machine.

Hi Zoltan,

Regrettably I am not a programmer, so I don't know how much I will be
able to help you troubleshoot. I compile the shared libraries for use
with a freeware Windows utility program (Powerpro) while someone else
maintains the Powerpro plugin that uses the library. I could try
configuring and building static instead of shared libraries and produce
a pcre_jit_test.exe. If you want it to contain only one test case, could
you send me a properly edited source?

Also please let me know if you still need my RunTest output files, or if
you got my zip file forwarded from Philip.

Regards,
Sheri
