Hi Sebastian,

thank you for the investigation. Could you estimate when you can send the patch?

Regards,
Zoltan

The problem occurs on Ubuntu 18.04 and A-72 as well
when configuring with --enable-pcre2-16 and --enable-pcre2-32
each exposes one fail.
I will send a patch to fix these issues.

A previous email to the pcre-dev list shows the log output:

My testing for the patch was on both Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04 on A1 instance
based on A-72.  I will try to see if I can reproduce the bug on A1 with a Fedora
distribution.

Thanks Zoltán for the heads up.
I can work on fixing the reported issues.
Is there a log of the output and instructions on how to reproduce the problems?
I would need the configure or cmake line and the make command.
 
Thanks,
Sebastian

Both failures are triggered by this PCRE2 commit:

Support NEON based fast forward character search in ARM64. Patch by Sebastian Pop.

using Fedora 31 (gcc-9.2.1, binutils-2.32).
The compiler defines __ARM_NEON macro on that machine. getauxval(AT_HWCAP) sets
HWCAP_ASIMD bit. So I believe the machine supports NEON.
When I disable the
#if (defined SLJIT_CONFIG_ARM_64 && SLJIT_CONFIG_ARM_64 && (defined __ARM_NEON || defined
__ARM_NEON__))
branch in src/pcre2_jit_compile.c not to emit NEON instructions, all tests
pass on that machine.
This I conclude something is wrong in the NEON support in sljit.
