[PATCH 2/2] grep: fix segfault under -P + PCRE2 + (*NO_JIT)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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. This bug dates back to my 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for
PCRE v2", 2017-06-01):

    $ git grep -P '(*NO_JIT)hi.*there'
    Segmentation fault

As explained ad 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.
