Public bug reported: Version 8.31 of libpcre3 (pcre3 sources) is not ready for --enable-jit option on Linux/PPC64 LE. It even does not compile.
Version 8.34 of libpcre3 does include code for Linux on PPC64-LE. However, this code still fails for JIT. It is being fixed now. Staty tune with: http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1430 . The current version 8.31 of libpcre3 on Ybuntu PPC64/LE should be replaced by the version (8.35 ?) that fixes the JIT issues on PPC64/LE (it is OK on PPC64/BE). /home/tony/PCRE/pcre3-8.31: In file included from sljit/sljitNativePPC_common.c:417:0, from sljit/sljitLir.c:1251, from pcre_jit_compile.c:62: sljit/sljitNativePPC_64.c: In function 'sljit_set_function_context': sljit/sljitNativePPC_64.c:425:9: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type context->addr = addr ? addr : ptrs[0]; ^ sljit/sljitNativePPC_64.c:426:9: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type context->r2 = ptrs[1]; ^ sljit/sljitNativePPC_64.c:427:9: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type context->r11 = ptrs[2]; pcre-8.34: make check-TESTS make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tony/PCRE/pcre-8.XX/trunk' make[3]: Entering directory `/home/tony/PCRE/pcre-8.XX/trunk' ./test-driver: line 107: 32524 Illegal instruction (core dumped) "$@" > $log_file 2>&1 FAIL: pcre_jit_test $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) Release: 14.04 $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) Release: 14.04 tony@tony1:~/PCRE/pcre3-8.31$ apt-cache policy libpcre3 libpcre3: Installed: 1:8.31-2ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:8.31-2ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:8.31-2ubuntu2 0 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ trusty/main ppc64el Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: pcre3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270862 Title: libpcre3 1:8.31-2ubuntu2 : not ready for --enable-jit option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre3/+bug/1270862/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
