+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.rs
+.sp
+This function provides control over the memory used as a stack at run-time by a
+call to \fBpcre[16|32]_exec()\fP with a pattern that has been successfully
+compiled with JIT optimization. The arguments are:
+.sp
+ extra the data pointer returned by \fBpcre[16|32]_study()\fP
+ callback a callback function
+ data a JIT stack or a value to be passed to the callback
+ function
+.P
+If \fIcallback\fP is NULL and \fIdata\fP is NULL, an internal 32K block on
+the machine stack is used.
+.P
+If \fIcallback\fP is NULL and \fIdata\fP is not NULL, \fIdata\fP must
+be a valid JIT stack, the result of calling \fBpcre[16|32]_jit_stack_alloc()\fP.
+.P
+If \fIcallback\fP not NULL, it is called with \fIdata\fP as an argument at
+the start of matching, in order to set up a JIT stack. If the result is NULL,
+the internal 32K stack is used; otherwise the return value must be a valid JIT
+stack, the result of calling \fBpcre[16|32]_jit_stack_alloc()\fP.
+.P
+You may safely assign the same JIT stack to multiple patterns, as long as they
+are all matched in the same thread. In a multithread application, each thread
+must use its own JIT stack. For more details, see the
+.\" HREF
+\fBpcrejit\fP
+.\"
+page.
