Without a subsequent call to 30*22dc650dSSadaf Ebrahimi<b>pcre2_jit_compile()</b>, the copy can be used only for non-JIT matching. The 31*22dc650dSSadaf Ebrahimipointer to the character tables is copied, not the tables themselves (see 32*22dc650dSSadaf Ebrahimi<b>pcre2_code_copy_with_tables()</b>).
