17 This function is used to create a stack for use by the code compiled by
18 the JIT compiler. The first two arguments are a starting size for the
19 stack, and a maximum size to which it is allowed to grow. The final ar‐
20 gument is a general context, for memory allocation functions, or NULL
21 for standard memory allocation. The result can be passed to the JIT
22 run-time code by calling pcre2_jit_stack_assign() to associate the
23 stack with a compiled pattern, which can then be processed by
24 pcre2_match() or pcre2_jit_match(). A maximum stack size of 512KiB to
25 1MiB should be more than enough for any pattern. If the stack couldn't
26 be allocated or the values passed were not reasonable, NULL will be re‐
27 turned. For more details, see the pcre2jit page.
