SYNOPSIS         top


       #include <pcre2.h>

       void pcre2_jit_stack_assign(pcre2_match_context *mcontext,
         pcre2_jit_callback callback_function, void *callback_data);

DESCRIPTION         top


       This function provides control over the memory used by JIT as a
       run-time stack when pcre2_match() or pcre2_jit_match() is called
       with a pattern that has been successfully processed by the JIT
       compiler. The information that determines which stack is used is
       put into a match context that is subsequently passed to a
       matching function. The arguments of this function are:

         mcontext       a pointer to a match context
         callback       a callback function
         callback_data  a JIT stack or a value to be passed to the
       callback

       If mcontext is NULL, the function returns immediately, without
       doing anything.

       If callback is NULL and callback_data is NULL, an internal 32KiB
       block on the machine stack is used.

       If callback is NULL and callback_data is not NULL, callback_data
       must be a valid JIT stack, the result of calling
       pcre2_jit_stack_create().

       If callback not NULL, it is called with callback_data as an
       argument at the start of matching, in order to set up a JIT
       stack. If the result is NULL, the internal 32KiB stack is used;
       otherwise the return value must be a valid JIT stack, the result
       of calling pcre2_jit_stack_create().

       You may safely use the same JIT stack for multiple patterns, as
       long as they are all matched in the same thread. In a multithread
       application, each thread must use its own JIT stack. For more
       details, see the pcre2jit page.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
       pcre2api page and a description of the POSIX API in the
       pcre2posix page.
