grep: fix segfault under -P + PCRE2 <=10.30 + (*NO_JIT)ab/pcre2-grep
Fix a bug in the compilation of PCRE2 patterns under JIT (the most common runtime configuration). Any pattern with a (*NO_JIT) verb would segfault in any currently released PCRE2 version: $ git grep -P '(*NO_JIT)hi.*there' Segmentation fault That this segfaulted was a bug in PCRE2 itself, after reporting it[1] on pcre-dev it's been fixed in a yet-to-be-released version of PCRE (presumably released first as 10.31). Now it'll die with: $ git grep -P '(*NO_JIT)hi.*there' fatal: pcre2_jit_match failed with error code -45: bad JIT option But the cause of the bug is in our own code dating back to my 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01). As explained at more length in the comment being added here, it isn't sufficient to just check pcre2_config() to see whether the JIT should be used, pcre2_pattern_info() also has to be asked. This is something I discovered myself when fiddling around with PCRE2 verbs in patterns passed to git. I don't expect that any user of git has encountered this given the obscurity of passing PCRE2 verbs through to the library, along with the relative obscurity of (*NO_JIT) itself. 1. "How am I supposed to use PCRE2 JIT in the face of (*NO_JIT) ?"
