34: DESCRIPTION
35: </b><br>
36: <P>
37: This function studies a compiled pattern, to see if additional information can
38: be extracted that might speed up matching. Its arguments are:
39: <pre>
40: <i>code</i> A compiled regular expression
1.1.1.3 ! misho 41: <i>options</i> Options for <b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b>
1.1 misho 42: <i>errptr</i> Where to put an error message
43: </pre>
44: If the function succeeds, it returns a value that can be passed to
1.1.1.3 ! misho 45: <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b> via their <i>extra</i>
1.1.1.2 misho 46: arguments.
1.1 misho 47: </P>
48: <P>
49: If the function returns NULL, either it could not find any additional
50: information, or there was an error. You can tell the difference by looking at
51: the error value. It is NULL in first case.
52: </P>
53: <P>
54: The only option is PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE. It requests just-in-time compilation
55: if possible. If PCRE has been compiled without JIT support, this option is
56: ignored. See the
57: <a href="pcrejit.html"><b>pcrejit</b></a>
58: page for further details.
