Subject: [RFC PATCH v3] grep: treat PCRE2 jit compilation memory error as non fatal
Date: Sat,  3 Aug 2019 20:14:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190804031409.32764-1-carenas@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190729105955.44390-1-carenas@gmail.com>

94da9193a6 (grep: add support for PCRE v2, 2017-06-01) uses the
JIT fast path unless JIT support has not been compiled in the
linked library.

Starting from 10.23 of PCRE2, pcre2grep ignores any errors from
pcre2_jit_cpmpile as a workaround for their bug1749[1] and we
should do too, so that the interpreter could be used as a fallback
in cases where JIT was not available because of a security policy.

To be conservative, we are restricting initially the error to the
known error that would be returned in that case (and to be documented
as such in a future release of PCRE) and printing a warning so that
corrective action could be taken.
