Hello,
The pcre-dev group you sent this to is for PCRE1, which is at end-of-life;
the group is likely to disappear at some time. For PCRE2, please use
pcre2-dev@???. I have added that address to this email.
(Further discussion could perhaps remove pcre-dev.) I don't know much about
the internals of the JIT implementation in PCRE2. The JIT maintainer is on
the pcre2-dev list so should see your query.
Regards,
Philip
