grep: fix segfault under -P + PCRE2 <=10.30 + (*NO_JIT)
Fix a bug in the compilation of PCRE2 patterns under JIT (the most
common runtime configuration). Any pattern with a (*NO_JIT) verb would
segfault in any currently released PCRE2 version:
$ git grep -P '(*NO_JIT)hi.*there'
Segmentation fault
That this segfaulted was a bug in PCRE2 itself, after reporting it[1]
on pcre-dev it's been fixed in a yet-to-be-released version of
PCRE (presumably released first as 10.31). Now it'll die with:
$ git grep -P '(*NO_JIT)hi.*there'
fatal: pcre2_jit_match failed with error code -45: bad JIT option
But the cause of the bug is in our own code dating back to my
94da919 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01).
As explained at more length in the comment being added here, it isn't
sufficient to just check pcre2_config() to see whether the JIT should
be used, pcre2_pattern_info() also has to be asked.
This is something I discovered myself when fiddling around with PCRE2
verbs in patterns passed to git. I don't expect that any user of git
has encountered this given the obscurity of passing PCRE2 verbs
through to the library, along with the relative obscurity of (*NO_JIT)
itself.
1. "How am I supposed to use PCRE2 JIT in the face of (*NO_JIT) ?"
