Hi,
as requested in the issue #63284, I've produced a patch for PCRE 8.31
upgrade. Tests has passed for me on 5.3/5.4/master ts and nts, though
anybody willing to perform additional tests is welcomed. More tests will
be performed next days anyway.
There is also a question hanging in the air - would it be OK to commit
that to 5.3 and 5.4 branches?
Cheers
Anatoliy

Yes, this is ok. Optionally bundled libs like this is a special case
because many distros choose to not use the bundled version which means
some of our users end up using newer (and more often older) versions of
the library anyway. We could make a case for not doing it in 5.3 anymore
since that is getting close to sunset at this point, but Johannes should
make that call I think.

The tests pass in our labs using this patch. Anatoliy, please go ahead
with the commit, even for 5.3 (we can discuss later when we stop to
update bundled libs in 5.3, in the EOL discussions :).
Cheers,
Pierre
