DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
</b><br>
 | 
						|
<P>
 | 
						|
This function studies a compiled pattern, to see if additional information can
 | 
						|
be extracted that might speed up matching. Its arguments are:
 | 
						|
<pre>
 | 
						|
  <i>code</i>       A compiled regular expression
 | 
						|
  <i>options</i>    Options for <b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b>
 | 
						|
  <i>errptr</i>     Where to put an error message
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
If the function succeeds, it returns a value that can be passed to
 | 
						|
<b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b> via their <i>extra</i>
 | 
						|
arguments.
 | 
						|
</P>
 | 
						|
<P>
 | 
						|
If the function returns NULL, either it could not find any additional
 | 
						|
information, or there was an error. You can tell the difference by looking at
 | 
						|
the error value. It is NULL in first case.
 | 
						|
</P>
 | 
						|
<P>
 | 
						|
The only option is PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE. It requests just-in-time compilation
 | 
						|
if possible. If PCRE has been compiled without JIT support, this option is
 | 
						|
ignored. See the
 | 
						|
<a href="pcrejit.html"><b>pcrejit</b></a>
 | 
						|
page for further details.
 |
