DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This function matches a compiled regular expression that has been successfully
studied with one of the JIT options against a given subject string, using a
matching algorithm that is similar to Perl's. It is a "fast path" interface to
JIT, and it bypasses some of the sanity checks that <b>pcre_exec()</b> applies.
It returns offsets to captured substrings. Its arguments are:
<pre>
  <i>code</i>         Points to the compiled pattern
  <i>extra</i>        Points to an associated <b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b> structure,
                 or is NULL
  <i>subject</i>      Points to the subject string
  <i>length</i>       Length of the subject string, in bytes
  <i>startoffset</i>  Offset in bytes in the subject at which to
                 start matching
  <i>options</i>      Option bits
  <i>ovector</i>      Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
  <i>ovecsize</i>     Number of elements in the vector (a multiple of 3)
  <i>jstack</i>       Pointer to a JIT stack
</pre>
The allowed options are:
<pre>
  PCRE_NOTBOL            Subject string is not the beginning of a line
  PCRE_NOTEOL            Subject string is not the end of a line
  PCRE_NOTEMPTY          An empty string is not a valid match
  PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART  An empty string at the start of the subject
                           is not a valid match
  PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK    Do not check the subject for UTF-16
                           validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF16
                           was set at compile time)
  PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK    Do not check the subject for UTF-32
                           validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF32
                           was set at compile time)
  PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK     Do not check the subject for UTF-8
                           validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF8
                           was set at compile time)
  PCRE_PARTIAL           ) Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial
  PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT      )   match if no full matches are found
  PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD      Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
                           if that is found before a full match
</pre>
However, the PCRE_NO_UTF[8|16|32]_CHECK options have no effect, as this check
is never applied. For details of partial matching, see the
<a href="pcrepartial.html"><b>pcrepartial</b></a>
page. A <b>pcre_extra</b> structure contains the following fields:
<pre>
  <i>flags</i>            Bits indicating which fields are set
  <i>study_data</i>       Opaque data from <b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b>
  <i>match_limit</i>      Limit on internal resource use
  <i>match_limit_recursion</i>  Limit on internal recursion depth
  <i>callout_data</i>     Opaque data passed back to callouts
  <i>tables</i>           Points to character tables or is NULL
  <i>mark</i>             For passing back a *MARK pointer
  <i>executable_jit</i>   Opaque data from JIT compilation
</pre>
The flag bits are PCRE_EXTRA_STUDY_DATA, PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT,
PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION, PCRE_EXTRA_CALLOUT_DATA,
PCRE_EXTRA_TABLES, PCRE_EXTRA_MARK and PCRE_EXTRA_EXECUTABLE_JIT.
