My question, will pcre put some OpenCL code in it?

I may misunderstand this question, but PCRE has a JIT compilation engine, it compiles the pattern to machine code, and it is pretty fast. See here: http://sljit.sourceforge.net/regex_perf.html

There was also a discussion about PCRE and OpenCL here before:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.pcre.devel/2370



I can't understand how this discussion realted to current libpcre code.
