The way to fix it is to disable certain match start optimizaions. The
observed performance impact appears negligible ATM, compared to the
functional regression revealed.
A possible side effect might occur if a pattern uses (*COMMIT) or
(*MARK), which is however not a very broadly used syntax in PHP. Still
this should be observed and handled by possibly adding a possibility to
reverse PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE on the user side.
One test shows a behavior change, where instead of int 0 the match
would produce an error and return false. Except strict comparison
is used, this should be acceptable.
