Christian Ruppert de898712a0 MEDIUM: regex: Use pcre_study always when PCRE is used, regardless of JIT ... pcre_study() has been around long before JIT has been added. It also seems to affect the performance in some cases (positive). Below I've attached some test restults. The test is based on http://sljit.sourceforge.net/regex_perf.html (see bottom). It has been modified to just test pcre_study vs. no pcre_study. Note: This test does not try to match specific header it's instead run over a larger text with more and less complex patterns to make the differences more clear. % ./runtest 'mark.txt' loaded.

It always depends on the pattern, the string(s) to match against etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Ruppert <c.ruppert@babiel.com>		2014-11-18 13:26:18 +01:00
