Description
There are already a handful of issues over the years:
- https://github.com/intel/hyperscan/issues/444
- https://github.com/intel/hyperscan/issues/97
- https://github.com/intel/hyperscan/issues/397
And im stumbling over this issue now as well for nixpkgs to move away from PCRE see: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/356387
Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the three linked Hyperscan issues and the referenced Nixpkgs issue to understand the existing PCRE2 requirements and prior discussion. The issue does not name files, tests, or a defined acceptance condition, so completion would require first establishing the scope of PCRE2 support.
