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.
