- Description:
- Vectorscan is a portable fork of Intel's Hyperscan, a high-performance multiple
regex matching library. It follows the regular expression syntax of the
commonly-used libpcre library, yet functions as a standalone library with its
own API written in C.
Vectorscan uses hybrid automata techniques to allow simultaneous matching of
large numbers (up to tens of thousands) of regular expressions, as well as
matching of regular expressions across streams of data.
This portable fork extends support beyond x86 to additional architectures
including ARM NEON/ASIMD and Power VSX, making it suitable for a wider range
of platforms while maintaining API compatibility with Hyperscan 5.4.

devel/vectorscan: update to 5.4.13
- Update 5.4.12 to 5.4.13 (bug fixes, security fixes, clang 21 compat)
- Unbundle Boost: use system devel/boost-libs instead of 190 MB tarball
- Unbundle SIMDe: use system devel/simde instead of git submodule
- Enable FAT_RUNTIME on FreeBSD 14 [1] by aliasing nm to llvm-nm (the
build_wrapper.sh uses -f posix which elftoolchain nm doesn't support)
- Add USES=localbase for system Boost and SIMDe headers
- Sort option descriptions and helpers alphabetically per portclippy

devel/vectorscan: disable FAT_RUNTIME on FreeBSD 14
The "fat" runtime build uses build_wrapper.sh to rename symbols via nm(1)
with the -f posix flag, which is not supported on FreeBSD 14.

Xin LI (delphij) |
devel/vectorscan: Fix various style issues.
- Use DISTVERSION instead of PORTVERSION
- Fix variable ordering
- Fix compiler requirement: compiler:c++11-lib -> compiler:c++17-lang
- Respect CFLAGS: patch cmake/cflags-generic.cmake to not hardcode -O3,
and patch CMakeLists.txt to not strip -O from config-specific flags
- Add OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS option (default on) to restore -O3 for performance,
letting users opt out while matching upstream intent
- Fix options ordering: OPTIONS_DEFAULT before OPTIONS_RADIO, descriptions
and helpers in canonical order
