Description Jeremy Linton 2024-02-15 19:59:17 UTC

Hyperscan is an intel only PCRE replacement, it doesn't build on non x86_64 platforms. Vectorscan aims to correct this by supporting ppc64le, aarch64 and riscv (WIP). There aren't currently any PRs for s390, and the project requires arch specific SIMD vector manipulation sequences in order to work correctly.

I'm opening this defect to note an archexcludes in the vectorscan package (not yet approved) but for the time being the same problem exists in hyperscan so it seems appropriate to open it here, and transfer ownership once vectorscan is in place.


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2024-02-15 21:11:55 UTC

for the record, vectorscan should be able to use SIMDe on eg. s390x to overcome the lack of native implementation, but SIMDe fails to build now on s390x (#2261693), so the exclusion still makes sense

Comment 2 Dan Horák 2024-05-29 11:44:27 UTC

for the record, simde has been already fixed for s390x, resp. gcc has been fixed causing the simde build failure

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2025-02-26 12:58:15 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.

Comment 4 Fedora Release Engineering 2026-05-06 11:35:37 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '42'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 5 Aoife Moloney 2026-06-08 15:45:45 UTC

Fedora Linux 42 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2026-05-27.

Fedora Linux 42 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
