Description:
------------
I am trying to match some pattern in long string, it working on all previous version but not working on 7.0 and higher version.

It works on version 5.3.22 to 5.6.17, but got failed for 7.0.0 to 7.0.2

Test script:
---------------
$regex = '/\\G"((?:[^"\\\\\r\n]|\\\\.|\\\\\r\n|\\\\[\n\r\f])*)"|\'((?:[^\'\\\\\r\n]|\\\\.|\\\\\r\n|\\\\[\n\r\f])*)\'/';

PHP 7 introduces PCRE's JIT compiler. It can affect whether/how inefficient regexes are executed on long inputs.

https://3v4l.org/Y58It
Error 6 = PREG_JIT_STACKLIMIT_ERROR

Rewrite the regex to be more efficient, typically by removing extraneous capturing groups or being more careful with quantifiers.
As a workaround you can disable JIT. https://3v4l.org/Y1pja
