Excerpt from the release news:
Version 10.37 26-May-2021
-------------------------
A few more bug fixes and tidies. The only change of real note is the removal of
the actual POSIX names regcomp etc. from the POSIX wrapper library because
these have caused issues for some applications (see 10.33 #2 below).
Version 10.36 04-December-2020
------------------------------
Again, mainly bug fixes and tidies. The only enhancements are the addition of
GNU grep's -m (aka --max-count) option to pcre2grep, and also unifying the
handling of substitution strings for both -O and callouts in pcre2grep, with
the addition of $x{...} and $o{...} to allow for characters whose code points
are greater than 255 in Unicode mode.
NOTE: there is an outstanding issue with JIT support for MacOS on arm64
hardware. For details, please see Bugzilla issue #2618.

When compiling with "-Wall -Werror" gcc emits two errors:
../src/pcre2_jit_neon_inc.h:211:8: error: ‘cmp1b’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
211 | data = fast_forward_char_pair_compare(compare1_type, data, cmp1a, cmp1b);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../src/pcre2_jit_neon_inc.h:212:9: error: ‘cmp2b’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
212 | data2 = fast_forward_char_pair_compare(compare2_type, data2, cmp2a, cmp2b);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The compiler emits the error message before inlining.
Because the warning is based on an intra-procedural data
flow analysis, the compiler does not see that cmp1b and
cmp2b are not used when they are not initialized.
Here is the code of that function, cmp2 is only used
when ctype is compare_match2 or compare_match1i,
and not when ctype is compare_match1:
static inline vect_t fast_forward_char_pair_compare(compare_type ctype, vect_t dst, vect_t cmp1, vect_t cmp2)
{
if (ctype == compare_match2)
{
vect_t tmp = dst;
dst = VCEQQ(dst, cmp1);
tmp = VCEQQ(tmp, cmp2);
dst = VORRQ(dst, tmp);
return dst;
}
if (ctype == compare_match1i)
dst = VORRQ(dst, cmp2);
dst = VCEQQ(dst, cmp1);
return dst;
}
The patch inlines by hand the case of compare_match1 such that the
code avoids referring to cmp1b and cmp2b.
Tested on aarch64-linux with `make check`.
