| pcre2.diff | commit cfcf1e6e9c4f8a2404810d8d1d90e6d1eaa0abdd Port to PCRE2 API and enable JIT compilation The original PCRE API provided on most systems by libpcre3 is no longer maintained upstream and is superseded by the new PCRE2 API, which was first released in 2015. pcre3 will be removed from Debian in 2023, as noted in this bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/1000080 This commit replaces the existing PCRE implementation with a new one using PCRE2, which is quite similar. One benefit is that PCRE2 provides a JIT compiler which can replace the interpretive regular expression evaluation code with native machine code on most modern platforms: https://pcre.org/current/doc/html/pcre2jit.html Depending on the length and complexity of the pattern used, enabling JIT compilation makes Ngrep 50x to 150x faster, testing in quiet mode on a multi-gigabyte PCAP file stored on tmpfs. diff --git a/configure.in b/configure.in index dbef39bcf5..0806a62066 100644 |
