Version 8.44 12 February-2020
-----------------------------
1. Setting --enable-jit=auto for an out-of-tree build failed because the
source directory wasn't in the search path for AC_TRY_COMPILE always. Patch
from Ross Burton.
2. Applied a patch from Michael Shigorin to fix 8.43 build on e2k arch
with lcc compiler (EDG frontend based); the problem it fixes is:
lcc: "pcrecpp.cc", line 74: error: declaration aliased to undefined entity
"_ZN7pcrecpp2RE6no_argE" [-Werror]
3. Change 2 for 8.43 omitted (*LF) from the list of start-of-pattern items. Now
added.
4. Fix ARMv5 JIT improper handling of labels right after a constant pool.
5. Small patch to pcreposix.c to set the erroroffset field to -1 immediately
after a successful compile, instead of at the start of matching to avoid a
sanitizer complaint (regexec is supposed to be thread safe).
6. Check the size of the number after (?C as it is read, in order to avoid
integer overflow.
7. Tidy up left shifts to avoid sanitize warnings; also fix one NULL deference
in pcretest.
