Technical Notes about PCRE
--------------------------
These are very rough technical notes that record potentially useful information
about PCRE internals. For information about testing PCRE, see the pcretest
documentation and the comment at the head of the RunTest file.
Historical note 1
-----------------
Many years ago I implemented some regular expression functions to an algorithm
suggested by Martin Richards. These were not Unix-like in form, and were quite
restricted in what they could do by comparison with Perl. The interesting part
about the algorithm was that the amount of space required to hold the compiled
form of an expression was known in advance. The code to apply an expression did
not operate by backtracking, as the original Henry Spencer code and current
Perl code does, but instead checked all possibilities simultaneously by keeping
a list of current states and checking all of them as it advanced through the
subject string. In the terminology of Jeffrey Friedl's book, it was a "DFA
algorithm", though it was not a traditional Finite State Machine (FSM). When
the pattern was all used up, all remaining states were possible matches, and
the one matching the longest subset of the subject string was chosen. This did
not necessarily maximize the individual wild portions of the pattern, as is
expected in Unix and Perl-style regular expressions.
Historical note 2
-----------------
By contrast, the code originally written by Henry Spencer (which was
subsequently heavily modified for Perl) compiles the expression twice: once in
a dummy mode in order to find out how much store will be needed, and then for
real. (The Perl version probably doesn't do this any more; I'm talking about
the original library.) The execution function operates by backtracking and
maximizing (or, optionally, minimizing in Perl) the amount of the subject that
matches individual wild portions of the pattern. This is an "NFA algorithm" in
Friedl's terminology.
OK, here's the real stuff
-------------------------
For the set of functions that form the "basic" PCRE library (which are
unrelated to those mentioned above), I tried at first to invent an algorithm
that used an amount of store bounded by a multiple of the number of characters
in the pattern, to save on compiling time. However, because of the greater
complexity in Perl regular expressions, I couldn't do this. In any case, a
first pass through the pattern is helpful for other reasons.
Support for 16-bit and 32-bit data strings
-------------------------------------------
From release 8.30, PCRE supports 16-bit as well as 8-bit data strings; and from
release 8.32, PCRE supports 32-bit data strings. The library can be compiled
in any combination of 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit modes, creating up to three
different libraries. In the description that follows, the word "short" is used
for a 16-bit data quantity, and the word "unit" is used for a quantity that is
a byte in 8-bit mode, a short in 16-bit mode and a 32-bit word in 32-bit mode.
However, so as not to over-complicate the text, the names of PCRE functions are
given in 8-bit form only.
Computing the memory requirement: how it was
--------------------------------------------
Up to and including release 6.7, PCRE worked by running a very degenerate first
pass to calculate a maximum store size, and then a second pass to do the real
compile - which might use a bit less than the predicted amount of memory. The
idea was that this would turn out faster than the Henry Spencer code because
the first pass is degenerate and the second pass can just store stuff straight
into the vector, which it knows is big enough.
Computing the memory requirement: how it is
-------------------------------------------
By the time I was working on a potential 6.8 release, the degenerate first pass
had become very complicated and hard to maintain. Indeed one of the early
things I did for 6.8 was to fix Yet Another Bug in the memory computation. Then
I had a flash of inspiration as to how I could run the real compile function in
a "fake" mode that enables it to compute how much memory it would need, while
actually only ever using a few hundred bytes of working memory, and without too
many tests of the mode that might slow it down. So I refactored the compiling
functions to work this way. This got rid of about 600 lines of source. It
should make future maintenance and development easier. As this was such a major
change, I never released 6.8, instead upping the number to 7.0 (other quite
major changes were also present in the 7.0 release).
A side effect of this work was that the previous limit of 200 on the nesting
depth of parentheses was removed. However, there is a downside: pcre_compile()
runs more slowly than before (30% or more, depending on the pattern) because it
is doing a full analysis of the pattern. My hope was that this would not be a
big issue, and in the event, nobody has commented on it.
At release 8.34, a limit on the nesting depth of parentheses was re-introduced
(default 250, settable at build time) so as to put a limit on the amount of
system stack used by pcre_compile(). This is a safety feature for environments
with small stacks where the patterns are provided by users.
Traditional matching function
-----------------------------
The "traditional", and original, matching function is called pcre_exec(), and
it implements an NFA algorithm, similar to the original Henry Spencer algorithm
and the way that Perl works. This is not surprising, since it is intended to be
as compatible with Perl as possible. This is the function most users of PCRE
will use most of the time. From release 8.20, if PCRE is compiled with
just-in-time (JIT) support, and studying a compiled pattern with JIT is
successful, the JIT code is run instead of the normal pcre_exec() code, but the
result is the same.
Supplementary matching function
-------------------------------
From PCRE 6.0, there is also a supplementary matching function called
pcre_dfa_exec(). This implements a DFA matching algorithm that searches
simultaneously for all possible matches that start at one point in the subject
string. (Going back to my roots: see Historical Note 1 above.) This function
intreprets the same compiled pattern data as pcre_exec(); however, not all the
facilities are available, and those that are do not always work in quite the
same way. See the user documentation for details.
The algorithm that is used for pcre_dfa_exec() is not a traditional FSM,
because it may have a number of states active at one time. More work would be
needed at compile time to produce a traditional FSM where only one state is
ever active at once. I believe some other regex matchers work this way. JIT
support is not available for this kind of matching.
Changeable options
------------------
The /i, /m, or /s options (PCRE_CASELESS, PCRE_MULTILINE, PCRE_DOTALL, and some
others) may change in the middle of patterns. From PCRE 8.13, their processing
is handled entirely at compile time by generating different opcodes for the
different settings. The runtime functions do not need to keep track of an
options state any more.
Format of compiled patterns
---------------------------
The compiled form of a pattern is a vector of unsigned units (bytes in 8-bit
mode, shorts in 16-bit mode, 32-bit words in 32-bit mode), containing items of
variable length. The first unit in an item contains an opcode, and the length
of the item is either implicit in the opcode or contained in the data that
follows it.
In many cases listed below, LINK_SIZE data values are specified for offsets
within the compiled pattern. LINK_SIZE always specifies a number of bytes. The
default value for LINK_SIZE is 2, but PCRE can be compiled to use 3-byte or
4-byte values for these offsets, although this impairs the performance. (3-byte
LINK_SIZE values are available only in 8-bit mode.) Specifing a LINK_SIZE
larger than 2 is necessary only when patterns whose compiled length is greater
than 64K are going to be processed. In this description, we assume the "normal"
compilation options. Data values that are counts (e.g. quantifiers) are two
bytes long in 8-bit mode (most significant byte first), or one unit in 16-bit
and 32-bit modes.
Opcodes with no following data
------------------------------
These items are all just one unit long
OP_END end of pattern
OP_ANY match any one character other than newline
OP_ALLANY match any one character, including newline
OP_ANYBYTE match any single unit, even in UTF-8/16 mode
OP_SOD match start of data: \A
OP_SOM, start of match (subject + offset): \G
OP_SET_SOM, set start of match (\K)
OP_CIRC ^ (start of data)
OP_CIRCM ^ multiline mode (start of data or after newline)
OP_NOT_WORD_BOUNDARY \W
OP_WORD_BOUNDARY \w
OP_NOT_DIGIT \D
OP_DIGIT \d
OP_NOT_HSPACE \H
OP_HSPACE \h
OP_NOT_WHITESPACE \S
OP_WHITESPACE \s
OP_NOT_VSPACE \V
OP_VSPACE \v
OP_NOT_WORDCHAR \W
OP_WORDCHAR \w
OP_EODN match end of data or newline at end: \Z
OP_EOD match end of data: \z
OP_DOLL $ (end of data, or before final newline)
OP_DOLLM $ multiline mode (end of data or before newline)
OP_EXTUNI match an extended Unicode grapheme cluster
OP_ANYNL match any Unicode newline sequence
OP_ASSERT_ACCEPT )
OP_ACCEPT ) These are Perl 5.10's "backtracking control
OP_COMMIT ) verbs". If OP_ACCEPT is inside capturing
OP_FAIL ) parentheses, it may be preceded by one or more
OP_PRUNE ) OP_CLOSE, each followed by a count that
OP_SKIP ) indicates which parentheses must be closed.
OP_THEN )
OP_ASSERT_ACCEPT is used when (*ACCEPT) is encountered within an assertion.
This ends the assertion, not the entire pattern match.
Backtracking control verbs with optional data
---------------------------------------------
(*THEN) without an argument generates the opcode OP_THEN and no following data.
OP_MARK is followed by the mark name, preceded by a one-unit length, and
followed by a binary zero. For (*PRUNE), (*SKIP), and (*THEN) with arguments,
the opcodes OP_PRUNE_ARG, OP_SKIP_ARG, and OP_THEN_ARG are used, with the name
following in the same format as OP_MARK.
Matching literal characters
---------------------------
The OP_CHAR opcode is followed by a single character that is to be matched
casefully. For caseless matching, OP_CHARI is used. In UTF-8 or UTF-16 modes,
the character may be more than one unit long. In UTF-32 mode, characters
are always exactly one unit long.
If there is only one character in a character class, OP_CHAR or OP_CHARI is
used for a positive class, and OP_NOT or OP_NOTI for a negative one (that is,
for something like [^a]).
Repeating single characters
---------------------------
The common repeats (*, +, ?), when applied to a single character, use the
following opcodes, which come in caseful and caseless versions:
Caseful Caseless
OP_STAR OP_STARI
OP_MINSTAR OP_MINSTARI
OP_POSSTAR OP_POSSTARI
OP_PLUS OP_PLUSI
OP_MINPLUS OP_MINPLUSI
OP_POSPLUS OP_POSPLUSI
OP_QUERY OP_QUERYI
OP_MINQUERY OP_MINQUERYI
OP_POSQUERY OP_POSQUERYI
Each opcode is followed by the character that is to be repeated. In ASCII mode,
these are two-unit items; in UTF-8 or UTF-16 modes, the length is variable; in
UTF-32 mode these are one-unit items. Those with "MIN" in their names are the
minimizing versions. Those with "POS" in their names are possessive versions.
Other repeats make use of these opcodes:
Caseful Caseless
OP_UPTO OP_UPTOI
OP_MINUPTO OP_MINUPTOI
OP_POSUPTO OP_POSUPTOI
OP_EXACT OP_EXACTI
Each of these is followed by a count and then the repeated character. OP_UPTO
matches from 0 to the given number. A repeat with a non-zero minimum and a
fixed maximum is coded as an OP_EXACT followed by an OP_UPTO (or OP_MINUPTO or
OPT_POSUPTO).
Another set of matching repeating opcodes (called OP_NOTSTAR, OP_NOTSTARI,
etc.) are used for repeated, negated, single-character classes such as [^a]*.
The normal single-character opcodes (OP_STAR, etc.) are used for repeated
positive single-character classes.
Repeating character types
-------------------------
Repeats of things like \d are done exactly as for single characters, except
that instead of a character, the opcode for the type is stored in the data
unit. The opcodes are:
OP_TYPESTAR
OP_TYPEMINSTAR
OP_TYPEPOSSTAR
OP_TYPEPLUS
OP_TYPEMINPLUS
OP_TYPEPOSPLUS
OP_TYPEQUERY
OP_TYPEMINQUERY
OP_TYPEPOSQUERY
OP_TYPEUPTO
OP_TYPEMINUPTO
OP_TYPEPOSUPTO
OP_TYPEEXACT
Match by Unicode property
-------------------------
OP_PROP and OP_NOTPROP are used for positive and negative matches of a
character by testing its Unicode property (the \p and \P escape sequences).
Each is followed by two units that encode the desired property as a type and a
value. The types are a set of #defines of the form PT_xxx, and the values are
enumerations of the form ucp_xx, defined in the ucp.h source file. The value is
relevant only for PT_GC (General Category), PT_PC (Particular Category), and
PT_SC (Script).
Repeats of these items use the OP_TYPESTAR etc. set of opcodes, followed by
three units: OP_PROP or OP_NOTPROP, and then the desired property type and
value.
Character classes
-----------------
If there is only one character in a class, OP_CHAR or OP_CHARI is used for a
positive class, and OP_NOT or OP_NOTI for a negative one (that is, for
something like [^a]).
A set of repeating opcodes (called OP_NOTSTAR etc.) are used for repeated,
negated, single-character classes. The normal single-character opcodes
(OP_STAR, etc.) are used for repeated positive single-character classes.
When there is more than one character in a class, and all the code points are
less than 256, OP_CLASS is used for a positive class, and OP_NCLASS for a
negative one. In either case, the opcode is followed by a 32-byte (16-short,
8-word) bit map containing a 1 bit for every character that is acceptable. The
bits are counted from the least significant end of each unit. In caseless mode,
bits for both cases are set.
The reason for having both OP_CLASS and OP_NCLASS is so that, in UTF-8/16/32
mode, subject characters with values greater than 255 can be handled correctly.
For OP_CLASS they do not match, whereas for OP_NCLASS they do.
For classes containing characters with values greater than 255 or that contain
\p or \P, OP_XCLASS is used. It optionally uses a bit map if any code points
are less than 256, followed by a list of pairs (for a range) and single
characters. In caseless mode, both cases are explicitly listed.
OP_XCLASS is followed by a unit containing flag bits: XCL_NOT indicates that
this is a negative class, and XCL_MAP indicates that a bit map is present.
There follows the bit map, if XCL_MAP is set, and then a sequence of items
coded as follows:
XCL_END marks the end of the list
XCL_SINGLE one character follows
XCL_RANGE two characters follow
XCL_PROP a Unicode property (type, value) follows
XCL_NOTPROP a Unicode property (type, value) follows
If a range starts with a code point less than 256 and ends with one greater
than 256, an XCL_RANGE item is used, without setting any bits in the bit map.
This means that if no other items in the class set bits in the map, a map is
not needed.
Back references
---------------
OP_REF (caseful) or OP_REFI (caseless) is followed by a count containing the
reference number if the reference is to a unique capturing group (either by
number or by name). When named groups are used, there may be more than one
group with the same name. In this case, a reference by name generates OP_DNREF
or OP_DNREFI. These are followed by two counts: the index (not the byte offset)
in the group name table of the first entry for the requred name, followed by
the number of groups with the same name.
Repeating character classes and back references
-----------------------------------------------
Single-character classes are handled specially (see above). This section
applies to other classes and also to back references. In both cases, the repeat
information follows the base item. The matching code looks at the following
opcode to see if it is one of
OP_CRSTAR
OP_CRMINSTAR
OP_CRPOSSTAR
OP_CRPLUS
OP_CRMINPLUS
OP_CRPOSPLUS
OP_CRQUERY
OP_CRMINQUERY
OP_CRPOSQUERY
OP_CRRANGE
OP_CRMINRANGE
OP_CRPOSRANGE
All but the last three are single-unit items, with no data. The others are
followed by the minimum and maximum repeat counts.
Brackets and alternation
------------------------
A pair of non-capturing round brackets is wrapped round each expression at
compile time, so alternation always happens in the context of brackets.
[Note for North Americans: "bracket" to some English speakers, including
myself, can be round, square, curly, or pointy. Hence this usage rather than
"parentheses".]
Non-capturing brackets use the opcode OP_BRA. Originally PCRE was limited to 99
capturing brackets and it used a different opcode for each one. From release
3.5, the limit was removed by putting the bracket number into the data for
higher-numbered brackets. From release 7.0 all capturing brackets are handled
this way, using the single opcode OP_CBRA.
A bracket opcode is followed by LINK_SIZE bytes which give the offset to the
next alternative OP_ALT or, if there aren't any branches, to the matching
OP_KET opcode. Each OP_ALT is followed by LINK_SIZE bytes giving the offset to
the next one, or to the OP_KET opcode. For capturing brackets, the bracket
number is a count that immediately follows the offset.
OP_KET is used for subpatterns that do not repeat indefinitely, and OP_KETRMIN
and OP_KETRMAX are used for indefinite repetitions, minimally or maximally
respectively (see below for possessive repetitions). All three are followed by
LINK_SIZE bytes giving (as a positive number) the offset back to the matching
bracket opcode.
If a subpattern is quantified such that it is permitted to match zero times, it
is preceded by one of OP_BRAZERO, OP_BRAMINZERO, or OP_SKIPZERO. These are
single-unit opcodes that tell the matcher that skipping the following
subpattern entirely is a valid branch. In the case of the first two, not
skipping the pattern is also valid (greedy and non-greedy). The third is used
when a pattern has the quantifier {0,0}. It cannot be entirely discarded,
because it may be called as a subroutine from elsewhere in the regex.
A subpattern with an indefinite maximum repetition is replicated in the
compiled data its minimum number of times (or once with OP_BRAZERO if the
minimum is zero), with the final copy terminating with OP_KETRMIN or OP_KETRMAX
as appropriate.
A subpattern with a bounded maximum repetition is replicated in a nested
fashion up to the maximum number of times, with OP_BRAZERO or OP_BRAMINZERO
before each replication after the minimum, so that, for example, (abc){2,5} is
compiled as (abc)(abc)((abc)((abc)(abc)?)?)?, except that each bracketed group
has the same number.
When a repeated subpattern has an unbounded upper limit, it is checked to see
whether it could match an empty string. If this is the case, the opcode in the
final replication is changed to OP_SBRA or OP_SCBRA. This tells the matcher
that it needs to check for matching an empty string when it hits OP_KETRMIN or
OP_KETRMAX, and if so, to break the loop.
Possessive brackets
-------------------
When a repeated group (capturing or non-capturing) is marked as possessive by
the "+" notation, e.g. (abc)++, different opcodes are used. Their names all
have POS on the end, e.g. OP_BRAPOS instead of OP_BRA and OP_SCPBRPOS instead
of OP_SCBRA. The end of such a group is marked by OP_KETRPOS. If the minimum
repetition is zero, the group is preceded by OP_BRAPOSZERO.
Once-only (atomic) groups
-------------------------
These are just like other subpatterns, but they start with the opcode
OP_ONCE or OP_ONCE_NC. The former is used when there are no capturing brackets
within the atomic group; the latter when there are. The distinction is needed
for when there is a backtrack to before the group - any captures within the
group must be reset, so it is necessary to retain backtracking points inside
the group even after it is complete in order to do this. When there are no
captures in an atomic group, all the backtracking can be discarded when it is
complete. This is more efficient, and also uses less stack.
The check for matching an empty string in an unbounded repeat is handled
entirely at runtime, so there are just these two opcodes for atomic groups.
Assertions
----------
Forward assertions are also just like other subpatterns, but starting with one
of the opcodes OP_ASSERT or OP_ASSERT_NOT. Backward assertions use the opcodes
OP_ASSERTBACK and OP_ASSERTBACK_NOT, and the first opcode inside the assertion
is OP_REVERSE, followed by a count of the number of characters to move back the
pointer in the subject string. In ASCII mode, the count is a number of units,
but in UTF-8/16 mode each character may occupy more than one unit; in UTF-32
mode each character occupies exactly one unit. A separate count is present in
each alternative of a lookbehind assertion, allowing them to have different
fixed lengths.
Conditional subpatterns
-----------------------
These are like other subpatterns, but they start with the opcode OP_COND, or
OP_SCOND for one that might match an empty string in an unbounded repeat. If
the condition is a back reference, this is stored at the start of the
subpattern using the opcode OP_CREF followed by a count containing the
reference number, provided that the reference is to a unique capturing group.
If the reference was by name and there is more than one group with that name,
OP_DNCREF is used instead. It is followed by two counts: the index in the group
names table, and the number of groups with the same name.
If the condition is "in recursion" (coded as "(?(R)"), or "in recursion of
group x" (coded as "(?(Rx)"), the group number is stored at the start of the
subpattern using the opcode OP_RREF (with a value of zero for "the whole
pattern") or OP_DNRREF (with data as for OP_DNCREF). For a DEFINE condition,
just the single unit OP_DEF is used (it has no associated data). Otherwise, a
conditional subpattern always starts with one of the assertions.
Recursion
---------
Recursion either matches the current regex, or some subexpression. The opcode
OP_RECURSE is followed by aLINK_SIZE value that is the offset to the starting
bracket from the start of the whole pattern. From release 6.5, OP_RECURSE is
automatically wrapped inside OP_ONCE brackets, because otherwise some patterns
broke it. OP_RECURSE is also used for "subroutine" calls, even though they are
not strictly a recursion.
Callout
-------
OP_CALLOUT is followed by one unit of data that holds a callout number in the
range 0 to 254 for manual callouts, or 255 for an automatic callout. In both
cases there follows a count giving the offset in the pattern string to the
start of the following item, and another count giving the length of this item.
These values make is possible for pcretest to output useful tracing information
using automatic callouts.

Installation Instructions
*************************
Copyright (C) 1994-1996, 1999-2002, 2004-2016 Free Software
Foundation, Inc.
Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
notice and this notice are preserved. This file is offered as-is,
without warranty of any kind.
Basic Installation
==================
Briefly, the shell command './configure && make && make install'
should configure, build, and install this package. The following
more-detailed instructions are generic; see the 'README' file for
instructions specific to this package. Some packages provide this
'INSTALL' file but do not implement all of the features documented
below. The lack of an optional feature in a given package is not
necessarily a bug. More recommendations for GNU packages can be found
in *note Makefile Conventions: (standards)Makefile Conventions.
The 'configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a 'Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more '.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script 'config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
file 'config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
debugging 'configure').
It can also use an optional file (typically called 'config.cache' and
enabled with '--cache-file=config.cache' or simply '-C') that saves the
results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. Caching is disabled by
default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale cache files.
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how 'configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the 'README' so they can
be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
some point 'config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
may remove or edit it.
The file 'configure.ac' (or 'configure.in') is used to create
'configure' by a program called 'autoconf'. You need 'configure.ac' if
you want to change it or regenerate 'configure' using a newer version of
'autoconf'.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. 'cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
'./configure' to configure the package for your system.
Running 'configure' might take a while. While running, it prints
some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type 'make' to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type 'make check' to run any self-tests that come with
the package, generally using the just-built uninstalled binaries.
4. Type 'make install' to install the programs and any data files and
documentation. When installing into a prefix owned by root, it is
recommended that the package be configured and built as a regular
user, and only the 'make install' phase executed with root
privileges.
5. Optionally, type 'make installcheck' to repeat any self-tests, but
this time using the binaries in their final installed location.
This target does not install anything. Running this target as a
regular user, particularly if the prior 'make install' required
root privileges, verifies that the installation completed
correctly.
6. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing 'make clean'. To also remove the
files that 'configure' created (so you can compile the package for
a different kind of computer), type 'make distclean'. There is
also a 'make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
with the distribution.
7. Often, you can also type 'make uninstall' to remove the installed
files again. In practice, not all packages have tested that
uninstallation works correctly, even though it is required by the
GNU Coding Standards.
8. Some packages, particularly those that use Automake, provide 'make
distcheck', which can by used by developers to test that all other
targets like 'make install' and 'make uninstall' work correctly.
This target is generally not run by end users.
Compilers and Options
=====================
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
the 'configure' script does not know about. Run './configure --help'
for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
You can give 'configure' initial values for configuration parameters
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here is
an example:
./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix
*Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
====================================
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own directory. To do this, you can use GNU 'make'. 'cd' to the
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
the 'configure' script. 'configure' automatically checks for the source
code in the directory that 'configure' is in and in '..'. This is known
as a "VPATH" build.
With a non-GNU 'make', it is safer to compile the package for one
architecture at a time in the source code directory. After you have
installed the package for one architecture, use 'make distclean' before
reconfiguring for another architecture.
On MacOS X 10.5 and later systems, you can create libraries and
executables that work on multiple system types--known as "fat" or
"universal" binaries--by specifying multiple '-arch' options to the
compiler but only a single '-arch' option to the preprocessor. Like
this:
./configure CC="gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
CXX="g++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
CPP="gcc -E" CXXCPP="g++ -E"
This is not guaranteed to produce working output in all cases, you
may have to build one architecture at a time and combine the results
using the 'lipo' tool if you have problems.
Installation Names
==================
By default, 'make install' installs the package's commands under
'/usr/local/bin', include files under '/usr/local/include', etc. You
can specify an installation prefix other than '/usr/local' by giving
'configure' the option '--prefix=PREFIX', where PREFIX must be an
absolute file name.
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
pass the option '--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to 'configure', the package uses
PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like '--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
kinds of files. Run 'configure --help' for a list of the directories
you can set and what kinds of files go in them. In general, the default
for these options is expressed in terms of '${prefix}', so that
specifying just '--prefix' will affect all of the other directory
specifications that were not explicitly provided.
The most portable way to affect installation locations is to pass the
correct locations to 'configure'; however, many packages provide one or
both of the following shortcuts of passing variable assignments to the
'make install' command line to change installation locations without
having to reconfigure or recompile.
The first method involves providing an override variable for each
affected directory. For example, 'make install
prefix=/alternate/directory' will choose an alternate location for all
directory configuration variables that were expressed in terms of
'${prefix}'. Any directories that were specified during 'configure',
but not in terms of '${prefix}', must each be overridden at install time
for the entire installation to be relocated. The approach of makefile
variable overrides for each directory variable is required by the GNU
Coding Standards, and ideally causes no recompilation. However, some
platforms have known limitations with the semantics of shared libraries
that end up requiring recompilation when using this method, particularly
noticeable in packages that use GNU Libtool.
The second method involves providing the 'DESTDIR' variable. For
example, 'make install DESTDIR=/alternate/directory' will prepend
'/alternate/directory' before all installation names. The approach of
'DESTDIR' overrides is not required by the GNU Coding Standards, and
does not work on platforms that have drive letters. On the other hand,
it does better at avoiding recompilation issues, and works well even
when some directory options were not specified in terms of '${prefix}'
at 'configure' time.
Optional Features
=================
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving 'configure' the
option '--program-prefix=PREFIX' or '--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
Some packages pay attention to '--enable-FEATURE' options to
'configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to '--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like 'gnu-as' or 'x' (for the X Window System). The
'README' should mention any '--enable-' and '--with-' options that the
package recognizes.
For packages that use the X Window System, 'configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
you can use the 'configure' options '--x-includes=DIR' and
'--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
Some packages offer the ability to configure how verbose the
execution of 'make' will be. For these packages, running './configure
--enable-silent-rules' sets the default to minimal output, which can be
overridden with 'make V=1'; while running './configure
--disable-silent-rules' sets the default to verbose, which can be
overridden with 'make V=0'.
Particular systems
==================
On HP-UX, the default C compiler is not ANSI C compatible. If GNU CC
is not installed, it is recommended to use the following options in
order to use an ANSI C compiler:
./configure CC="cc -Ae -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500"
and if that doesn't work, install pre-built binaries of GCC for HP-UX.
HP-UX 'make' updates targets which have the same time stamps as their
prerequisites, which makes it generally unusable when shipped generated
files such as 'configure' are involved. Use GNU 'make' instead.
On OSF/1 a.k.a. Tru64, some versions of the default C compiler cannot
parse its '<wchar.h>' header file. The option '-nodtk' can be used as a
workaround. If GNU CC is not installed, it is therefore recommended to
try
./configure CC="cc"
and if that doesn't work, try
./configure CC="cc -nodtk"
On Solaris, don't put '/usr/ucb' early in your 'PATH'. This
directory contains several dysfunctional programs; working variants of
these programs are available in '/usr/bin'. So, if you need '/usr/ucb'
in your 'PATH', put it _after_ '/usr/bin'.
On Haiku, software installed for all users goes in '/boot/common',
not '/usr/local'. It is recommended to use the following options:
./configure --prefix=/boot/common
Specifying the System Type
==========================
There may be some features 'configure' cannot figure out
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
will run on. Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
_same_ architectures, 'configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
'--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as 'sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
OS
KERNEL-OS
See the file 'config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
'config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the machine type.
If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
use the option '--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will
produce code for.
If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
eventually be run) with '--host=TYPE'.
Sharing Defaults
================
If you want to set default values for 'configure' scripts to share,
you can create a site shell script called 'config.site' that gives
default values for variables like 'CC', 'cache_file', and 'prefix'.
'configure' looks for 'PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
'PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
'CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all 'configure' scripts look for a site script.
Defining Variables
==================
Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
environment passed to 'configure'. However, some packages may run
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
them in the 'configure' command line, using 'VAR=value'. For example:
./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
causes the specified 'gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
overridden in the site shell script).
Unfortunately, this technique does not work for 'CONFIG_SHELL' due to an
Autoconf limitation. Until the limitation is lifted, you can use this
workaround:
CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
'configure' Invocation
======================
'configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
operates.
'--help'
'-h'
Print a summary of all of the options to 'configure', and exit.
'--help=short'
'--help=recursive'
Print a summary of the options unique to this package's
'configure', and exit. The 'short' variant lists options used only
in the top level, while the 'recursive' variant lists options also
present in any nested packages.
'--version'
'-V'
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the 'configure'
script, and exit.
'--cache-file=FILE'
Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
traditionally 'config.cache'. FILE defaults to '/dev/null' to
disable caching.
'--config-cache'
'-C'
Alias for '--cache-file=config.cache'.
'--quiet'
'--silent'
'-q'
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
suppress all normal output, redirect it to '/dev/null' (any error
messages will still be shown).
'--srcdir=DIR'
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
'configure' can determine that directory automatically.
'--prefix=DIR'
Use DIR as the installation prefix. *note Installation Names:: for
more details, including other options available for fine-tuning the
installation locations.
'--no-create'
'-n'
Run the configure checks, but stop before creating any output
files.
'configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
'configure --help' for more details.

News about PCRE releases
------------------------
Note that this library (now called PCRE1) is no longer being maintained. New
projects are advised to use the PCRE2 libraries.
Release 8.45 15-June-2021
-----------------------------
This is the final PCRE1 release. A very few small issues have been fixed.
Release 8.44 12-February-2020
-----------------------------
This is a bug-fix release.
Release 8.43 23-February-2019
-----------------------------
This is a bug-fix release.
Release 8.42 20-March-2018
--------------------------
This is a bug-fix release.
Release 8.41 13-June-2017
-------------------------
This is a bug-fix release.
Release 8.40 11-January-2017
----------------------------
This is a bug-fix release.
Release 8.39 14-June-2016
-------------------------
Some appropriate PCRE2 JIT improvements have been retro-fitted to PCRE1. Apart
from that, this is another bug-fix release. Note that this library (now called
PCRE1) is now being maintained for bug fixes only. New projects are advised to
use the new PCRE2 libraries.
Release 8.38 23-November-2015
-----------------------------
This is bug-fix release. Note that this library (now called PCRE1) is now being
maintained for bug fixes only. New projects are advised to use the new PCRE2
libraries.
Release 8.37 28-April-2015
--------------------------
This is bug-fix release. Note that this library (now called PCRE1) is now being
maintained for bug fixes only. New projects are advised to use the new PCRE2
libraries.
Release 8.36 26-September-2014
------------------------------
This is primarily a bug-fix release. However, in addition, the Unicode data
tables have been updated to Unicode 7.0.0.
Release 8.35 04-April-2014
--------------------------
There have been performance improvements for classes containing non-ASCII
characters and the "auto-possessification" feature has been extended. Other
minor improvements have been implemented and bugs fixed. There is a new callout
feature to enable applications to do detailed stack checks at compile time, to
avoid running out of stack for deeply nested parentheses. The JIT compiler has
been extended with experimental support for ARM-64, MIPS-64, and PPC-LE.
Release 8.34 15-December-2013
-----------------------------
As well as fixing the inevitable bugs, performance has been improved by
refactoring and extending the amount of "auto-possessification" that PCRE does.
Other notable changes:
. Implemented PCRE_INFO_MATCH_EMPTY, which yields 1 if the pattern can match
an empty string. If it can, pcretest shows this in its information output.
. A back reference to a named subpattern when there is more than one of the
same name now checks them in the order in which they appear in the pattern.
The first one that is set is used for the reference. Previously only the
first one was inspected. This change makes PCRE more compatible with Perl.
. Unicode character properties were updated from Unicode 6.3.0.
. The character VT has been added to the set of characters that match \s and
are generally treated as white space, following this same change in Perl
5.18. There is now no difference between "Perl space" and "POSIX space".
. Perl has changed its handling of \8 and \9. If there is no previously
encountered capturing group of those numbers, they are treated as the
literal characters 8 and 9 instead of a binary zero followed by the
literals. PCRE now does the same.
. Following Perl, added \o{} to specify codepoints in octal, making it
possible to specify values greater than 0777 and also making them
unambiguous.
. In UCP mode, \s was not matching two of the characters that Perl matches,
namely NEL (U+0085) and MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR (U+180E), though they
were matched by \h.
. Add JIT support for the 64 bit TileGX architecture.
. Upgraded the handling of the POSIX classes [:graph:], [:print:], and
[:punct:] when PCRE_UCP is set so as to include the same characters as Perl
does in Unicode mode.
. Perl no longer allows group names to start with digits, so I have made this
change also in PCRE.
. Added support for [[:<:]] and [[:>:]] as used in the BSD POSIX library to
mean "start of word" and "end of word", respectively, as a transition aid.
Release 8.33 28-May-2013
--------------------------
A number of bugs are fixed, and some performance improvements have been made.
There are also some new features, of which these are the most important:
. The behaviour of the backtracking verbs has been rationalized and
documented in more detail.
. JIT now supports callouts and all of the backtracking verbs.
. Unicode validation has been updated in the light of Unicode Corrigendum #9,
which points out that "non characters" are not "characters that may not
appear in Unicode strings" but rather "characters that are reserved for
internal use and have only local meaning".
. (*LIMIT_MATCH=d) and (*LIMIT_RECURSION=d) have been added so that the
creator of a pattern can specify lower (but not higher) limits for the
matching process.
. The PCRE_NEVER_UTF option is available to prevent pattern-writers from using
the (*UTF) feature, as this could be a security issue.
Release 8.32 30-November-2012
-----------------------------
This release fixes a number of bugs, but also has some new features. These are
the highlights:
. There is now support for 32-bit character strings and UTF-32. Like the
16-bit support, this is done by compiling a separate 32-bit library.
. \X now matches a Unicode extended grapheme cluster.
. Case-independent matching of Unicode characters that have more than one
"other case" now makes all three (or more) characters equivalent. This
applies, for example, to Greek Sigma, which has two lowercase versions.
. Unicode character properties are updated to Unicode 6.2.0.
. The EBCDIC support, which had decayed, has had a spring clean.
. A number of JIT optimizations have been added, which give faster JIT
execution speed. In addition, a new direct interface to JIT execution is
available. This bypasses some of the sanity checks of pcre_exec() to give a
noticeable speed-up.
. A number of issues in pcregrep have been fixed, making it more compatible
with GNU grep. In particular, --exclude and --include (and variants) apply
to all files now, not just those obtained from scanning a directory
recursively. In Windows environments, the default action for directories is
now "skip" instead of "read" (which provokes an error).
. If the --only-matching (-o) option in pcregrep is specified multiple
times, each one causes appropriate output. For example, -o1 -o2 outputs the
substrings matched by the 1st and 2nd capturing parentheses. A separating
string can be specified by --om-separator (default empty).
. When PCRE is built via Autotools using a version of gcc that has the
"visibility" feature, it is used to hide internal library functions that are
not part of the public API.
Release 8.31 06-July-2012
-------------------------
This is mainly a bug-fixing release, with a small number of developments:
. The JIT compiler now supports partial matching and the (*MARK) and
(*COMMIT) verbs.
. PCRE_INFO_MAXLOOKBEHIND can be used to find the longest lookbehind in a
pattern.
. There should be a performance improvement when using the heap instead of the
stack for recursion.
. pcregrep can now be linked with libedit as an alternative to libreadline.
. pcregrep now has a --file-list option where the list of files to scan is
given as a file.
. pcregrep now recognizes binary files and there are related options.
. The Unicode tables have been updated to 6.1.0.
As always, the full list of changes is in the ChangeLog file.
Release 8.30 04-February-2012
-----------------------------
Release 8.30 introduces a major new feature: support for 16-bit character
strings, compiled as a separate library. There are a few changes to the
8-bit library, in addition to some bug fixes.
. The pcre_info() function, which has been obsolete for over 10 years, has
been removed.
. When a compiled pattern was saved to a file and later reloaded on a host
with different endianness, PCRE used automatically to swap the bytes in some
of the data fields. With the advent of the 16-bit library, where more of this
swapping is needed, it is no longer done automatically. Instead, the bad
endianness is detected and a specific error is given. The user can then call
a new function called pcre_pattern_to_host_byte_order() (or an equivalent
16-bit function) to do the swap.
. In UTF-8 mode, the values 0xd800 to 0xdfff are not legal Unicode
code points and are now faulted. (They are the so-called "surrogates"
that are reserved for coding high values in UTF-16.)
Release 8.21 12-Dec-2011
------------------------
This is almost entirely a bug-fix release. The only new feature is the ability
to obtain the size of the memory used by the JIT compiler.
Release 8.20 21-Oct-2011
------------------------
The main change in this release is the inclusion of Zoltan Herczeg's
just-in-time compiler support, which can be accessed by building PCRE with
--enable-jit. Large performance benefits can be had in many situations. 8.20
also fixes an unfortunate bug that was introduced in 8.13 as well as tidying up
a number of infelicities and differences from Perl.
Release 8.13 16-Aug-2011
------------------------
This is mainly a bug-fix release. There has been a lot of internal refactoring.
The Unicode tables have been updated. The only new feature in the library is
the passing of *MARK information to callouts. Some additions have been made to
pcretest to make testing easier and more comprehensive. There is a new option
for pcregrep to adjust its internal buffer size.
Release 8.12 15-Jan-2011
------------------------
This release fixes some bugs in pcregrep, one of which caused the tests to fail
on 64-bit big-endian systems. There are no changes to the code of the library.
Release 8.11 10-Dec-2010
------------------------
A number of bugs in the library and in pcregrep have been fixed. As always, see
ChangeLog for details. The following are the non-bug-fix changes:
. Added --match-limit and --recursion-limit to pcregrep.
. Added an optional parentheses number to the -o and --only-matching options
of pcregrep.
. Changed the way PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD affects the matching of $, \z, \Z, \b, and
\B.
. Added PCRE_ERROR_SHORTUTF8 to make it possible to distinguish between a
bad UTF-8 sequence and one that is incomplete when using PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD.
. Recognize (*NO_START_OPT) at the start of a pattern to set the PCRE_NO_
START_OPTIMIZE option, which is now allowed at compile time
Release 8.10 25-Jun-2010
------------------------
There are two major additions: support for (*MARK) and friends, and the option
PCRE_UCP, which changes the behaviour of \b, \d, \s, and \w (and their
opposites) so that they make use of Unicode properties. There are also a number
of lesser new features, and several bugs have been fixed. A new option,
--line-buffered, has been added to pcregrep, for use when it is connected to
pipes.
Release 8.02 19-Mar-2010
------------------------
Another bug-fix release.
Release 8.01 19-Jan-2010
------------------------
This is a bug-fix release. Several bugs in the code itself and some bugs and
infelicities in the build system have been fixed.
Release 8.00 19-Oct-09
----------------------
Bugs have been fixed in the library and in pcregrep. There are also some
enhancements. Restrictions on patterns used for partial matching have been
removed, extra information is given for partial matches, the partial matching
process has been improved, and an option to make a partial match override a
full match is available. The "study" process has been enhanced by finding a
lower bound matching length. Groups with duplicate numbers may now have
duplicated names without the use of PCRE_DUPNAMES. However, they may not have
different names. The documentation has been revised to reflect these changes.
The version number has been expanded to 3 digits as it is clear that the rate
of change is not slowing down.
Release 7.9 11-Apr-09
---------------------
Mostly bugfixes and tidies with just a couple of minor functional additions.
Release 7.8 05-Sep-08
---------------------
More bug fixes, plus a performance improvement in Unicode character property
lookup.
Release 7.7 07-May-08
---------------------
This is once again mainly a bug-fix release, but there are a couple of new
features.
Release 7.6 28-Jan-08
---------------------
The main reason for having this release so soon after 7.5 is because it fixes a
potential buffer overflow problem in pcre_compile() when run in UTF-8 mode. In
addition, the CMake configuration files have been brought up to date.
Release 7.5 10-Jan-08
---------------------
This is mainly a bug-fix release. However the ability to link pcregrep with
libz or libbz2 and the ability to link pcretest with libreadline have been
added. Also the --line-offsets and --file-offsets options were added to
pcregrep.
Release 7.4 21-Sep-07
---------------------
The only change of specification is the addition of options to control whether
\R matches any Unicode line ending (the default) or just CR, LF, and CRLF.
Otherwise, the changes are bug fixes and a refactoring to reduce the number of
relocations needed in a shared library. There have also been some documentation
updates, in particular, some more information about using CMake to build PCRE
has been added to the NON-UNIX-USE file.
Release 7.3 28-Aug-07
---------------------
Most changes are bug fixes. Some that are not:
1. There is some support for Perl 5.10's experimental "backtracking control
verbs" such as (*PRUNE).
2. UTF-8 checking is now as per RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279; this is more
restrictive in the strings it accepts.
3. Checking for potential integer overflow has been made more dynamic, and as a
consequence there is no longer a hard limit on the size of a subpattern that
has a limited repeat count.
4. When CRLF is a valid line-ending sequence, pcre_exec() and pcre_dfa_exec()
no longer advance by two characters instead of one when an unanchored match
fails at CRLF if there are explicit CR or LF matches within the pattern.
This gets rid of some anomalous effects that previously occurred.
5. Some PCRE-specific settings for varying the newline options at the start of
a pattern have been added.
Release 7.2 19-Jun-07
---------------------
WARNING: saved patterns that were compiled by earlier versions of PCRE must be
recompiled for use with 7.2 (necessitated by the addition of \K, \h, \H, \v,
and \V).
Correction to the notes for 7.1: the note about shared libraries for Windows is
wrong. Previously, three libraries were built, but each could function
independently. For example, the pcreposix library also included all the
functions from the basic pcre library. The change is that the three libraries
are no longer independent. They are like the Unix libraries. To use the
pcreposix functions, for example, you need to link with both the pcreposix and
the basic pcre library.
Some more features from Perl 5.10 have been added:
(?-n) and (?+n) relative references for recursion and subroutines.
(?(-n) and (?(+n) relative references as conditions.
\k{name} and \g{name} are synonyms for \k<name>.
\K to reset the start of the matched string; for example, (foo)\Kbar
matches bar preceded by foo, but only sets bar as the matched string.
(?| introduces a group where the capturing parentheses in each alternative
start from the same number; for example, (?|(abc)|(xyz)) sets capturing
parentheses number 1 in both cases.
\h, \H, \v, \V match horizontal and vertical whitespace, respectively.
Release 7.1 24-Apr-07
---------------------
There is only one new feature in this release: a linebreak setting of
PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF. It is a cut-down version of PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY, which
recognizes only CRLF, CR, and LF as linebreaks.
A few bugs are fixed (see ChangeLog for details), but the major change is a
complete re-implementation of the build system. This now has full Autotools
support and so is now "standard" in some sense. It should help with compiling
PCRE in a wide variety of environments.
NOTE: when building shared libraries for Windows, three dlls are now built,
called libpcre, libpcreposix, and libpcrecpp. Previously, everything was
included in a single dll.
Another important change is that the dftables auxiliary program is no longer
compiled and run at "make" time by default. Instead, a default set of character
tables (assuming ASCII coding) is used. If you want to use dftables to generate
the character tables as previously, add --enable-rebuild-chartables to the
"configure" command. You must do this if you are compiling PCRE to run on a
system that uses EBCDIC code.
There is a discussion about character tables in the README file. The default is
not to use dftables so that that there is no problem when cross-compiling.
Release 7.0 19-Dec-06
---------------------
This release has a new major number because there have been some internal
upheavals to facilitate the addition of new optimizations and other facilities,
and to make subsequent maintenance and extension easier. Compilation is likely
to be a bit slower, but there should be no major effect on runtime performance.
Previously compiled patterns are NOT upwards compatible with this release. If
you have saved compiled patterns from a previous release, you will have to
re-compile them. Important changes that are visible to users are:
1. The Unicode property tables have been updated to Unicode 5.0.0, which adds
some more scripts.
2. The option PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY causes PCRE to recognize any Unicode newline
sequence as a newline.
3. The \R escape matches a single Unicode newline sequence as a single unit.
4. New features that will appear in Perl 5.10 are now in PCRE. These include
alternative Perl syntax for named parentheses, and Perl syntax for
recursion.
5. The C++ wrapper interface has been extended by the addition of a
QuoteMeta function and the ability to allow copy construction and
assignment.
For a complete list of changes, see the ChangeLog file.
Release 6.7 04-Jul-06
---------------------
The main additions to this release are the ability to use the same name for
multiple sets of parentheses, and support for CRLF line endings in both the
library and pcregrep (and in pcretest for testing).
Thanks to Ian Taylor, the stack usage for many kinds of pattern has been
significantly reduced for certain subject strings.
Release 6.5 01-Feb-06
---------------------
Important changes in this release:
1. A number of new features have been added to pcregrep.
2. The Unicode property tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1.0, and the
supported properties have been extended with script names such as "Arabic",
and the derived properties "Any" and "L&". This has necessitated a change to
the interal format of compiled patterns. Any saved compiled patterns that
use \p or \P must be recompiled.
3. The specification of recursion in patterns has been changed so that all
recursive subpatterns are automatically treated as atomic groups. Thus, for
example, (?R) is treated as if it were (?>(?R)). This is necessary because
otherwise there are situations where recursion does not work.
See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes, which include a number of bug
fixes and tidies.
Release 6.0 07-Jun-05
---------------------
The release number has been increased to 6.0 because of the addition of several
major new pieces of functionality.
A new function, pcre_dfa_exec(), which implements pattern matching using a DFA
algorithm, has been added. This has a number of advantages for certain cases,
though it does run more slowly, and lacks the ability to capture substrings. On
the other hand, it does find all matches, not just the first, and it works
better for partial matching. The pcrematching man page discusses the
differences.
The pcretest program has been enhanced so that it can make use of the new
pcre_dfa_exec() matching function and the extra features it provides.
The distribution now includes a C++ wrapper library. This is built
automatically if a C++ compiler is found. The pcrecpp man page discusses this
interface.
The code itself has been re-organized into many more files, one for each
function, so it no longer requires everything to be linked in when static
linkage is used. As a consequence, some internal functions have had to have
their names exposed. These functions all have names starting with _pcre_. They
are undocumented, and are not intended for use by outside callers.
The pcregrep program has been enhanced with new functionality such as
multiline-matching and options for output more matching context. See the
ChangeLog for a complete list of changes to the library and the utility
programs.
Release 5.0 13-Sep-04
---------------------
The licence under which PCRE is released has been changed to the more
conventional "BSD" licence.
In the code, some bugs have been fixed, and there are also some major changes
in this release (which is why I've increased the number to 5.0). Some changes
are internal rearrangements, and some provide a number of new facilities. The
new features are:
1. There's an "automatic callout" feature that inserts callouts before every
item in the regex, and there's a new callout field that gives the position
in the pattern - useful for debugging and tracing.
2. The extra_data structure can now be used to pass in a set of character
tables at exec time. This is useful if compiled regex are saved and re-used
at a later time when the tables may not be at the same address. If the
default internal tables are used, the pointer saved with the compiled
pattern is now set to NULL, which means that you don't need to do anything
special unless you are using custom tables.
3. It is possible, with some restrictions on the content of the regex, to
request "partial" matching. A special return code is given if all of the
subject string matched part of the regex. This could be useful for testing
an input field as it is being typed.
4. There is now some optional support for Unicode character properties, which
means that the patterns items such as \p{Lu} and \X can now be used. Only
the general category properties are supported. If PCRE is compiled with this
support, an additional 90K data structure is include, which increases the
size of the library dramatically.
5. There is support for saving compiled patterns and re-using them later.
6. There is support for running regular expressions that were compiled on a
different host with the opposite endianness.
7. The pcretest program has been extended to accommodate the new features.
The main internal rearrangement is that sequences of literal characters are no
longer handled as strings. Instead, each character is handled on its own. This
makes some UTF-8 handling easier, and makes the support of partial matching
possible. Compiled patterns containing long literal strings will be larger as a
result of this change; I hope that performance will not be much affected.
Release 4.5 01-Dec-03
---------------------
Again mainly a bug-fix and tidying release, with only a couple of new features:
1. It's possible now to compile PCRE so that it does not use recursive
function calls when matching. Instead it gets memory from the heap. This slows
things down, but may be necessary on systems with limited stacks.
2. UTF-8 string checking has been tightened to reject overlong sequences and to
check that a starting offset points to the start of a character. Failure of the
latter returns a new error code: PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF8_OFFSET.
3. PCRE can now be compiled for systems that use EBCDIC code.
Release 4.4 21-Aug-03
---------------------
This is mainly a bug-fix and tidying release. The only new feature is that PCRE
checks UTF-8 strings for validity by default. There is an option to suppress
this, just in case anybody wants that teeny extra bit of performance.
Releases 4.1 - 4.3
------------------
Sorry, I forgot about updating the NEWS file for these releases. Please take a
look at ChangeLog.
Release 4.0 17-Feb-03
---------------------
There have been a lot of changes for the 4.0 release, adding additional
functionality and mending bugs. Below is a list of the highlights of the new
functionality. For full details of these features, please consult the
documentation. For a complete list of changes, see the ChangeLog file.
1. Support for Perl's \Q...\E escapes.
2. "Possessive quantifiers" ?+, *+, ++, and {,}+ which come from Sun's Java
package. They provide some syntactic sugar for simple cases of "atomic
grouping".
3. Support for the \G assertion. It is true when the current matching position
is at the start point of the match.
4. A new feature that provides some of the functionality that Perl provides
with (?{...}). The facility is termed a "callout". The way it is done in PCRE
is for the caller to provide an optional function, by setting pcre_callout to
its entry point. To get the function called, the regex must include (?C) at
appropriate points.
5. Support for recursive calls to individual subpatterns. This makes it really
easy to get totally confused.
6. Support for named subpatterns. The Python syntax (?P<name>...) is used to
name a group.
7. Several extensions to UTF-8 support; it is now fairly complete. There is an
option for pcregrep to make it operate in UTF-8 mode.
8. The single man page has been split into a number of separate man pages.
These also give rise to individual HTML pages which are put in a separate
directory. There is an index.html page that lists them all. Some hyperlinking
between the pages has been installed.
Release 3.5 15-Aug-01
---------------------
1. The configuring system has been upgraded to use later versions of autoconf
and libtool. By default it builds both a shared and a static library if the OS
supports it. You can use --disable-shared or --disable-static on the configure
command if you want only one of them.
2. The pcretest utility is now installed along with pcregrep because it is
useful for users (to test regexs) and by doing this, it automatically gets
relinked by libtool. The documentation has been turned into a man page, so
there are now .1, .txt, and .html versions in /doc.
3. Upgrades to pcregrep:
(i) Added long-form option names like gnu grep.
(ii) Added --help to list all options with an explanatory phrase.
(iii) Added -r, --recursive to recurse into sub-directories.
(iv) Added -f, --file to read patterns from a file.
4. Added --enable-newline-is-cr and --enable-newline-is-lf to the configure
script, to force use of CR or LF instead of \n in the source. On non-Unix
systems, the value can be set in config.h.
5. The limit of 200 on non-capturing parentheses is a _nesting_ limit, not an
absolute limit. Changed the text of the error message to make this clear, and
likewise updated the man page.
6. The limit of 99 on the number of capturing subpatterns has been removed.
The new limit is 65535, which I hope will not be a "real" limit.
Release 3.3 01-Aug-00
---------------------
There is some support for UTF-8 character strings. This is incomplete and
experimental. The documentation describes what is and what is not implemented.
Otherwise, this is just a bug-fixing release.
Release 3.0 01-Feb-00
---------------------
1. A "configure" script is now used to configure PCRE for Unix systems. It
builds a Makefile, a config.h file, and the pcre-config script.
2. PCRE is built as a shared library by default.
3. There is support for POSIX classes such as [:alpha:].
5. There is an experimental recursion feature.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSIONS BEFORE 2.00
Please note that there has been a change in the API such that a larger
ovector is required at matching time, to provide some additional workspace.
The new man page has details. This change was necessary in order to support
some of the new functionality in Perl 5.005.
IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.00
Another (I hope this is the last!) change has been made to the API for the
pcre_compile() function. An additional argument has been added to make it
possible to pass over a pointer to character tables built in the current
locale by pcre_maketables(). To use the default tables, this new argument
should be passed as NULL.
IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.05
Yet another (and again I hope this really is the last) change has been made
to the API for the pcre_exec() function. An additional argument has been
added to make it possible to start the match other than at the start of the
subject string. This is important if there are lookbehinds. The new man
page has the details, but you just want to convert existing programs, all
you need to do is to stick in a new fifth argument to pcre_exec(), with a
value of zero. For example, change
pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, options, ovec, ovecsize)
to
pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, 0, options, ovec, ovecsize)

Building PCRE without using autotools
-------------------------------------
NOTE: This document relates to PCRE releases that use the original API, with
library names libpcre, libpcre16, and libpcre32. January 2015 saw the first
release of a new API, known as PCRE2, with release numbers starting at 10.00
and library names libpcre2-8, libpcre2-16, and libpcre2-32. The old libraries
(now called PCRE1) are now at end of life, and 8.45 is the final release. New
projects are advised to use the new PCRE2 libraries.

GENERAL
I (Philip Hazel) have no experience of Windows or VMS sytems and how their
libraries work. The items in the PCRE distribution and Makefile that relate to
anything other than Linux systems are untested by me.
There are some other comments and files (including some documentation in CHM
format) in the Contrib directory on the FTP site:
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Contrib
The basic PCRE library consists entirely of code written in Standard C, and so
should compile successfully on any system that has a Standard C compiler and
library. The C++ wrapper functions are a separate issue (see below).
The PCRE distribution includes a "configure" file for use by the configure/make
(autotools) build system, as found in many Unix-like environments. The README
file contains information about the options for "configure".
There is also support for CMake, which some users prefer, especially in Windows
environments, though it can also be run in Unix-like environments. See the
section entitled "Building PCRE on Windows with CMake" below.
Versions of config.h and pcre.h are distributed in the PCRE tarballs under the
names config.h.generic and pcre.h.generic. These are provided for those who
build PCRE without using "configure" or CMake. If you use "configure" or CMake,
the .generic versions are not used.
GENERIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PCRE C LIBRARY
The following are generic instructions for building the PCRE C library "by
hand". If you are going to use CMake, this section does not apply to you; you
can skip ahead to the CMake section.
(1) Copy or rename the file config.h.generic as config.h, and edit the macro
settings that it contains to whatever is appropriate for your environment.
In particular, you can alter the definition of the NEWLINE macro to
specify what character(s) you want to be interpreted as line terminators.
In an EBCDIC environment, you MUST change NEWLINE, because its default
value is 10, an ASCII LF. The usual EBCDIC newline character is 21 (0x15,
NL), though in some cases it may be 37 (0x25).
When you compile any of the PCRE modules, you must specify -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
to your compiler so that config.h is included in the sources.
An alternative approach is not to edit config.h, but to use -D on the
compiler command line to make any changes that you need to the
configuration options. In this case -DHAVE_CONFIG_H must not be set.
NOTE: There have been occasions when the way in which certain parameters
in config.h are used has changed between releases. (In the configure/make
world, this is handled automatically.) When upgrading to a new release,
you are strongly advised to review config.h.generic before re-using what
you had previously.
(2) Copy or rename the file pcre.h.generic as pcre.h.
(3) EITHER:
Copy or rename file pcre_chartables.c.dist as pcre_chartables.c.
OR:
Compile dftables.c as a stand-alone program (using -DHAVE_CONFIG_H if
you have set up config.h), and then run it with the single argument
"pcre_chartables.c". This generates a set of standard character tables
and writes them to that file. The tables are generated using the default
C locale for your system. If you want to use a locale that is specified
by LC_xxx environment variables, add the -L option to the dftables
command. You must use this method if you are building on a system that
uses EBCDIC code.
The tables in pcre_chartables.c are defaults. The caller of PCRE can
specify alternative tables at run time.
(4) Ensure that you have the following header files:
pcre_internal.h
ucp.h
(5) For an 8-bit library, compile the following source files, setting
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H as a compiler option if you have set up config.h with your
configuration, or else use other -D settings to change the configuration
as required.
pcre_byte_order.c
pcre_chartables.c
pcre_compile.c
pcre_config.c
pcre_dfa_exec.c
pcre_exec.c
pcre_fullinfo.c
pcre_get.c
pcre_globals.c
pcre_jit_compile.c
pcre_maketables.c
pcre_newline.c
pcre_ord2utf8.c
pcre_refcount.c
pcre_string_utils.c
pcre_study.c
pcre_tables.c
pcre_ucd.c
pcre_valid_utf8.c
pcre_version.c
pcre_xclass.c
Make sure that you include -I. in the compiler command (or equivalent for
an unusual compiler) so that all included PCRE header files are first
sought in the current directory. Otherwise you run the risk of picking up
a previously-installed file from somewhere else.
Note that you must still compile pcre_jit_compile.c, even if you have not
defined SUPPORT_JIT in config.h, because when JIT support is not
configured, dummy functions are compiled. When JIT support IS configured,
pcre_jit_compile.c #includes sources from the sljit subdirectory, where
there should be 16 files, all of whose names begin with "sljit".
(6) Now link all the compiled code into an object library in whichever form
your system keeps such libraries. This is the basic PCRE C 8-bit library.
If your system has static and shared libraries, you may have to do this
once for each type.
(7) If you want to build a 16-bit library (as well as, or instead of the 8-bit
or 32-bit libraries) repeat steps 5-6 with the following files:
pcre16_byte_order.c
pcre16_chartables.c
pcre16_compile.c
pcre16_config.c
pcre16_dfa_exec.c
pcre16_exec.c
pcre16_fullinfo.c
pcre16_get.c
pcre16_globals.c
pcre16_jit_compile.c
pcre16_maketables.c
pcre16_newline.c
pcre16_ord2utf16.c
pcre16_refcount.c
pcre16_string_utils.c
pcre16_study.c
pcre16_tables.c
pcre16_ucd.c
pcre16_utf16_utils.c
pcre16_valid_utf16.c
pcre16_version.c
pcre16_xclass.c
(8) If you want to build a 32-bit library (as well as, or instead of the 8-bit
or 16-bit libraries) repeat steps 5-6 with the following files:
pcre32_byte_order.c
pcre32_chartables.c
pcre32_compile.c
pcre32_config.c
pcre32_dfa_exec.c
pcre32_exec.c
pcre32_fullinfo.c
pcre32_get.c
pcre32_globals.c
pcre32_jit_compile.c
pcre32_maketables.c
pcre32_newline.c
pcre32_ord2utf32.c
pcre32_refcount.c
pcre32_string_utils.c
pcre32_study.c
pcre32_tables.c
pcre32_ucd.c
pcre32_utf32_utils.c
pcre32_valid_utf32.c
pcre32_version.c
pcre32_xclass.c
(9) If you want to build the POSIX wrapper functions (which apply only to the
8-bit library), ensure that you have the pcreposix.h file and then compile
pcreposix.c (remembering -DHAVE_CONFIG_H if necessary). Link the result
(on its own) as the pcreposix library.
(10) The pcretest program can be linked with any combination of the 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit libraries (depending on what you selected in config.h).
Compile pcretest.c and pcre_printint.c (again, don't forget
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H) and link them together with the appropriate library/ies.
If you compiled an 8-bit library, pcretest also needs the pcreposix
wrapper library unless you compiled it with -DNOPOSIX.
(11) Run pcretest on the testinput files in the testdata directory, and check
that the output matches the corresponding testoutput files. There are
comments about what each test does in the section entitled "Testing PCRE"
in the README file. If you compiled more than one of the 8-bit, 16-bit and
32-bit libraries, you need to run pcretest with the -16 option to do
16-bit tests and with the -32 option to do 32-bit tests.
Some tests are relevant only when certain build-time options are selected.
For example, test 4 is for UTF-8/UTF-16/UTF-32 support, and will not run
if you have built PCRE without it. See the comments at the start of each
testinput file. If you have a suitable Unix-like shell, the RunTest script
will run the appropriate tests for you. The command "RunTest list" will
output a list of all the tests.
Note that the supplied files are in Unix format, with just LF characters
as line terminators. You may need to edit them to change this if your
system uses a different convention. If you are using Windows, you probably
should use the wintestinput3 file instead of testinput3 (and the
corresponding output file). This is a locale test; wintestinput3 sets the
locale to "french" rather than "fr_FR", and there some minor output
differences.
(12) If you have built PCRE with SUPPORT_JIT, the JIT features will be tested
by the testdata files. However, you might also like to build and run
the freestanding JIT test program, pcre_jit_test.c.
(13) If you want to use the pcregrep command, compile and link pcregrep.c; it
uses only the basic 8-bit PCRE library (it does not need the pcreposix
library).
THE C++ WRAPPER FUNCTIONS
The PCRE distribution also contains some C++ wrapper functions and tests,
applicable to the 8-bit library, which were contributed by Google Inc. On a
system that can use "configure" and "make", the functions are automatically
built into a library called pcrecpp. It should be straightforward to compile
the .cc files manually on other systems. The files called xxx_unittest.cc are
test programs for each of the corresponding xxx.cc files.
BUILDING FOR VIRTUAL PASCAL
A script for building PCRE using Borland's C++ compiler for use with VPASCAL
was contributed by Alexander Tokarev. Stefan Weber updated the script and added
additional files. The following files in the distribution are for building PCRE
for use with VP/Borland: makevp_c.txt, makevp_l.txt, makevp.bat, pcregexp.pas.
STACK SIZE IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS
The default processor stack size of 1Mb in some Windows environments is too
small for matching patterns that need much recursion. In particular, test 2 may
fail because of this. Normally, running out of stack causes a crash, but there
have been cases where the test program has just died silently. See your linker
documentation for how to increase stack size if you experience problems. The
Linux default of 8Mb is a reasonable choice for the stack, though even that can
be too small for some pattern/subject combinations.
PCRE has a compile configuration option to disable the use of stack for
recursion so that heap is used instead. However, pattern matching is
significantly slower when this is done. There is more about stack usage in the
"pcrestack" documentation.
LINKING PROGRAMS IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS
If you want to statically link a program against a PCRE library in the form of
a non-dll .a file, you must define PCRE_STATIC before including pcre.h or
pcrecpp.h, otherwise the pcre_malloc() and pcre_free() exported functions will
be declared __declspec(dllimport), with unwanted results.
CALLING CONVENTIONS IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS
It is possible to compile programs to use different calling conventions using
MSVC. Search the web for "calling conventions" for more information. To make it
easier to change the calling convention for the exported functions in the
PCRE library, the macro PCRE_CALL_CONVENTION is present in all the external
definitions. It can be set externally when compiling (e.g. in CFLAGS). If it is
not set, it defaults to empty; the default calling convention is then used
(which is what is wanted most of the time).
COMMENTS ABOUT WIN32 BUILDS (see also "BUILDING PCRE ON WINDOWS WITH CMAKE")
There are two ways of building PCRE using the "configure, make, make install"
paradigm on Windows systems: using MinGW or using Cygwin. These are not at all
the same thing; they are completely different from each other. There is also
support for building using CMake, which some users find a more straightforward
way of building PCRE under Windows.
The MinGW home page (http://www.mingw.org/) says this:
MinGW: A collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows
specific header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that
allow one to produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any
3rd-party C runtime DLLs.
The Cygwin home page (http://www.cygwin.com/) says this:
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
. A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing
substantial Linux API functionality
. A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel.
The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86 32
bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, with the exception of Windows CE.
On both MinGW and Cygwin, PCRE should build correctly using:
./configure && make && make install
This should create two libraries called libpcre and libpcreposix, and, if you
have enabled building the C++ wrapper, a third one called libpcrecpp. These are
independent libraries: when you link with libpcreposix or libpcrecpp you must
also link with libpcre, which contains the basic functions. (Some earlier
releases of PCRE included the basic libpcre functions in libpcreposix. This no
longer happens.)
A user submitted a special-purpose patch that makes it easy to create
"pcre.dll" under mingw32 using the "msys" environment. It provides "pcre.dll"
as a special target. If you use this target, no other files are built, and in
particular, the pcretest and pcregrep programs are not built. An example of how
this might be used is:
./configure --enable-utf --disable-cpp CFLAGS="-03 -s"; make pcre.dll
Using Cygwin's compiler generates libraries and executables that depend on
cygwin1.dll. If a library that is generated this way is distributed,
cygwin1.dll has to be distributed as well. Since cygwin1.dll is under the GPL
licence, this forces not only PCRE to be under the GPL, but also the entire
application. A distributor who wants to keep their own code proprietary must
purchase an appropriate Cygwin licence.
MinGW has no such restrictions. The MinGW compiler generates a library or
executable that can run standalone on Windows without any third party dll or
licensing issues.
But there is more complication:
If a Cygwin user uses the -mno-cygwin Cygwin gcc flag, what that really does is
to tell Cygwin's gcc to use the MinGW gcc. Cygwin's gcc is only acting as a
front end to MinGW's gcc (if you install Cygwin's gcc, you get both Cygwin's
gcc and MinGW's gcc). So, a user can:
. Build native binaries by using MinGW or by getting Cygwin and using
-mno-cygwin.
. Build binaries that depend on cygwin1.dll by using Cygwin with the normal
compiler flags.
The test files that are supplied with PCRE are in UNIX format, with LF
characters as line terminators. Unless your PCRE library uses a default newline
option that includes LF as a valid newline, it may be necessary to change the
line terminators in the test files to get some of the tests to work.
BUILDING PCRE ON WINDOWS WITH CMAKE
CMake is an alternative configuration facility that can be used instead of
"configure". CMake creates project files (make files, solution files, etc.)
tailored to numerous development environments, including Visual Studio,
Borland, Msys, MinGW, NMake, and Unix. If possible, use short paths with no
spaces in the names for your CMake installation and your PCRE source and build
directories.
The following instructions were contributed by a PCRE user. If they are not
followed exactly, errors may occur. In the event that errors do occur, it is
recommended that you delete the CMake cache before attempting to repeat the
CMake build process. In the CMake GUI, the cache can be deleted by selecting
"File > Delete Cache".
1. Install the latest CMake version available from http://www.cmake.org/, and
ensure that cmake\bin is on your path.
2. Unzip (retaining folder structure) the PCRE source tree into a source
directory such as C:\pcre. You should ensure your local date and time
is not earlier than the file dates in your source dir if the release is
very new.
3. Create a new, empty build directory, preferably a subdirectory of the
source dir. For example, C:\pcre\pcre-xx\build.
4. Run cmake-gui from the Shell envirornment of your build tool, for example,
Msys for Msys/MinGW or Visual Studio Command Prompt for VC/VC++. Do not try
to start Cmake from the Windows Start menu, as this can lead to errors.
5. Enter C:\pcre\pcre-xx and C:\pcre\pcre-xx\build for the source and build
directories, respectively.
6. Hit the "Configure" button.
7. Select the particular IDE / build tool that you are using (Visual
Studio, MSYS makefiles, MinGW makefiles, etc.)
8. The GUI will then list several configuration options. This is where
you can enable UTF-8 support or other PCRE optional features.
9. Hit "Configure" again. The adjacent "Generate" button should now be
active.
10. Hit "Generate".
11. The build directory should now contain a usable build system, be it a
solution file for Visual Studio, makefiles for MinGW, etc. Exit from
cmake-gui and use the generated build system with your compiler or IDE.
E.g., for MinGW you can run "make", or for Visual Studio, open the PCRE
solution, select the desired configuration (Debug, or Release, etc.) and
build the ALL_BUILD project.
12. If during configuration with cmake-gui you've elected to build the test
programs, you can execute them by building the test project. E.g., for
MinGW: "make test"; for Visual Studio build the RUN_TESTS project. The
most recent build configuration is targeted by the tests. A summary of
test results is presented. Complete test output is subsequently
available for review in Testing\Temporary under your build dir.
USE OF RELATIVE PATHS WITH CMAKE ON WINDOWS
A PCRE user comments as follows: I thought that others may want to know the
current state of CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS support on Windows. Here it is:
-- AdditionalIncludeDirectories is only partially modified (only the
first path - see below)
-- Only some of the contained file paths are modified - shown below for
pcre.vcproj
-- It properly modifies
I am sure CMake people can fix that if they want to. Until then one will
need to replace existing absolute paths in project files with relative
paths manually (e.g. from VS) - relative to project file location. I did
just that before being told to try CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS. Not a big
deal.
AdditionalIncludeDirectories="E:\builds\pcre\build;E:\builds\pcre\pcre-7.5;"
AdditionalIncludeDirectories=".;E:\builds\pcre\pcre-7.5;"
RelativePath="pcre.h"
RelativePath="pcre_chartables.c"
RelativePath="pcre_chartables.c.rule"
TESTING WITH RUNTEST.BAT
If configured with CMake, building the test project ("make test" or building
ALL_TESTS in Visual Studio) creates (and runs) pcre_test.bat (and depending
on your configuration options, possibly other test programs) in the build
directory. Pcre_test.bat runs RunTest.Bat with correct source and exe paths.
For manual testing with RunTest.bat, provided the build dir is a subdirectory
of the source directory: Open command shell window. Chdir to the location
of your pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe programs. Call RunTest.bat with
"..\RunTest.Bat" or "..\..\RunTest.bat" as appropriate.
To run only a particular test with RunTest.Bat provide a test number argument.
Otherwise:
1. Copy RunTest.bat into the directory where pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe
have been created.
2. Edit RunTest.bat to indentify the full or relative location of
the pcre source (wherein which the testdata folder resides), e.g.:
set srcdir=C:\pcre\pcre-8.20
3. In a Windows command environment, chdir to the location of your bat and
exe programs.
4. Run RunTest.bat. Test outputs will automatically be compared to expected
results, and discrepancies will be identified in the console output.
To independently test the just-in-time compiler, run pcre_jit_test.exe.
To test pcrecpp, run pcrecpp_unittest.exe, pcre_stringpiece_unittest.exe and
pcre_scanner_unittest.exe.
BUILDING UNDER WINDOWS CE WITH VISUAL STUDIO 200x
Vincent Richomme sent a zip archive of files to help with this process. They
can be found in the file "pcre-vsbuild.zip" in the Contrib directory of the FTP
site.
BUILDING UNDER WINDOWS WITH BCC5.5
Michael Roy sent these comments about building PCRE under Windows with BCC5.5:
Some of the core BCC libraries have a version of PCRE from 1998 built in, which
can lead to pcre_exec() giving an erroneous PCRE_ERROR_NULL from a version
mismatch. I'm including an easy workaround below, if you'd like to include it
in the non-unix instructions:
When linking a project with BCC5.5, pcre.lib must be included before any of the
libraries cw32.lib, cw32i.lib, cw32mt.lib, and cw32mti.lib on the command line.
BUILDING USING BORLAND C++ BUILDER 2007 (CB2007) AND HIGHER
A PCRE user sent these comments about this environment (see also the comment
from another user that follows them):
The XE versions of C++ Builder come with a RegularExpressionsCore class which
contain a version of TPerlRegEx. However, direct use of the C PCRE library may
be desirable.
The default makevp.bat, however, supplied with PCRE builds a version of PCRE
that is not usable with any version of C++ Builder because the compiler ships
with an embedded version of PCRE, version 2.01 from 1998! [See also the note
about BCC5.5 above.] If you want to use PCRE you'll need to rename the
functions (pcre_compile to pcre_compile_bcc, etc) or do as I have done and just
use the 16 bit versions. I'm using std::wstring everywhere anyway. Since the
embedded version of PCRE does not have the 16 bit function names, there is no
conflict.
Building PCRE using a C++ Builder static library project file (recommended):
1. Rename or remove pcre.h, pcreposi.h, and pcreposix.h from your C++ Builder
original include path.
2. Download PCRE from pcre.org and extract to a directory.
3. Rename pcre_chartables.c.dist to pcre_chartables.c, pcre.h.generic to
pcre.h, and config.h.generic to config.h.
4. Edit pcre.h and pcre_config.c so that they include config.h.
5. Edit config.h like so:
Comment out the following lines:
#define PACKAGE "pcre"
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
#define PACKAGE_NAME "PCRE"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "PCRE 8.32"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "pcre"
#define PACKAGE_URL ""
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "8.32"
Add the following lines:
#ifndef SUPPORT_UTF
#define SUPPORT_UTF 100 // any value is fine
#endif
#ifndef SUPPORT_UCP
#define SUPPORT_UCP 101 // any value is fine
#endif
#ifndef SUPPORT_UCP
#define SUPPORT_PCRE16 102 // any value is fine
#endif
#ifndef SUPPORT_UTF8
#define SUPPORT_UTF8 103 // any value is fine
#endif
6. Build a C++ Builder project using the IDE. Go to File / New / Other and
choose Static Library. You can name it pcre.cbproj or whatever. Now set your
paths by going to Project / Options. Set the Include path. Do this from the
"Base" option to apply to both Release and Debug builds. Now add the following
files to the project:
pcre.h
pcre16_byte_order.c
pcre16_chartables.c
pcre16_compile.c
pcre16_config.c
pcre16_dfa_exec.c
pcre16_exec.c
pcre16_fullinfo.c
pcre16_get.c
pcre16_globals.c
pcre16_maketables.c
pcre16_newline.c
pcre16_ord2utf16.c
pcre16_printint.c
pcre16_refcount.c
pcre16_string_utils.c
pcre16_study.c
pcre16_tables.c
pcre16_ucd.c
pcre16_utf16_utils.c
pcre16_valid_utf16.c
pcre16_version.c
pcre16_xclass.c
//Optional
pcre_version.c
7. After compiling the .lib file, copy the .lib and header files to a project
you want to use PCRE with. Enjoy.
Optional ... Building PCRE using the makevp.bat file:
1. Edit makevp_c.txt and makevp_l.txt and change all the names to the 16 bit
versions.
2. Edit makevp.bat and set the path to C++ Builder. Run makevp.bat.
Another PCRE user added this comment:
Another approach I successfully used for some years with BCB 5 and 6 was to
make sure that include and library paths of PCRE are configured before the
default paths of the IDE in the dialogs where one can manage those paths.
Afterwards one can open the project files using a text editor and manually add
the self created library for pcre itself, pcrecpp doesn't ship with the IDE, in
the library nodes where the IDE manages its own libraries to link against in
front of the IDE-own libraries. This way one can use the default PCRE function
names without getting access violations on runtime.
<ALLLIB value="libpcre.lib $(LIBFILES) $(LIBRARIES) import32.lib cp32mt.lib"/>
BUILDING PCRE ON OPENVMS
Stephen Hoffman sent the following, in December 2012:
"Here <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1847> is a very short write-up on the
OpenVMS port and here
<http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/labsnotes/pcre-vms-8_32.zip>
is a zip with the OpenVMS files, and with one modified testing-related PCRE
file." This is a port of PCRE 8.32.
Earlier, Dan Mooney sent the following comments about building PCRE on OpenVMS.
They relate to an older version of PCRE that used fewer source files, so the
exact commands will need changing. See the current list of source files above.
"It was quite easy to compile and link the library. I don't have a formal
make file but the attached file [reproduced below] contains the OpenVMS DCL
commands I used to build the library. I had to add #define
POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD 10 to pcre.h since it was not defined anywhere.
The library was built on:
O/S: HP OpenVMS v7.3-1
Compiler: Compaq C v6.5-001-48BCD
Linker: vA13-01
The test results did not match 100% due to the issues you mention in your
documentation regarding isprint(), iscntrl(), isgraph() and ispunct(). I
modified some of the character tables temporarily and was able to get the
results to match. Tests using the fr locale did not match since I don't have
that locale loaded. The study size was always reported to be 3 less than the
value in the standard test output files."
=========================
$! This DCL procedure builds PCRE on OpenVMS
$!
$! I followed the instructions in the non-unix-use file in the distribution.

$ RUN DFTABLES.EXE/OUTPUT=CHARTABLES.C
$ COMPILE MAKETABLES.C
$ COMPILE GET.C
$ COMPILE STUDY.C
$! I had to set POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD to 10 in PCRE.H since the symbol
$! did not seem to be defined anywhere.
$! I edited pcre.h and added #DEFINE SUPPORT_UTF8 to enable UTF8 support.
$ COMPILE PCRE.C
$ LIB/CREATE PCRE MAKETABLES.OBJ, GET.OBJ, STUDY.OBJ, PCRE.OBJ
$! I had to set POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD to 10 in PCRE.H since the symbol

$ COMPILE PCREPOSIX.C
$ LIB/CREATE PCREPOSIX PCREPOSIX.OBJ
$ COMPILE PCRETEST.C
$ LINK/EXE=PCRETEST.EXE PCRETEST.OBJ, PCRE/LIB, PCREPOSIX/LIB
$! C programs that want access to command line arguments must be
$! defined as a symbol
$ PCRETEST :== "$ SYS$ROADSUSERS:[DMOONEY.REGEXP]PCRETEST.EXE"
$! Arguments must be enclosed in quotes.
$ PCRETEST "-C"
$! Test results:
$!
$! The test results did not match 100%. The functions isprint(), iscntrl(),
$! isgraph() and ispunct() on OpenVMS must not produce the same results
$! as the system that built the test output files provided with the
$! distribution.
$!
$! The study size did not match and was always 3 less on OpenVMS.
$!
$! Locale could not be set to fr

BUILDING PCRE ON STRATUS OPENVOS
These notes on the port of PCRE to VOS (lightly edited) were supplied by
Ashutosh Warikoo, whose email address has the local part awarikoo and the
domain nse.co.in. The port was for version 7.9 in August 2009.
1. Building PCRE
I built pcre on OpenVOS Release 17.0.1at using GNU Tools 3.4a without any
problems. I used the following packages to build PCRE:
ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/ga/posix.save.evf.gz
Please read and follow the instructions that come with these packages. To start
the build of pcre, from the root of the package type:
./build.sh
2. Installing PCRE
Once you have successfully built PCRE, login to the SysAdmin group, switch to
the root user, and type
[ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr --if needed ]
[ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr>local --if needed ]
!gmake install
This installs PCRE and its man pages into /usr/local. You can add
(master_disk)>usr>local>bin to your command search paths, or if you are in
BASH, add /usr/local/bin to the PATH environment variable.
4. Restrictions
This port requires readline library optionally. However during the build I
faced some yet unexplored errors while linking with readline. As it was an
optional component I chose to disable it.
5. Known Problems
I ran the test suite, but you will have to be your own judge of whether this
command, and this port, suits your purposes. If you find any problems that
appear to be related to the port itself, please let me know. Please see the
build.log file in the root of the package also.
BUILDING PCRE ON NATIVE Z/OS AND Z/VM
z/OS and z/VM are operating systems for mainframe computers, produced by IBM.
The character code used is EBCDIC, not ASCII or Unicode. In z/OS, UNIX APIs and
applications can be supported through UNIX System Services, and in such an
environment PCRE can be built in the same way as in other systems. However, in
native z/OS (without UNIX System Services) and in z/VM, special ports are
required. PCRE1 version 8.39 is available in file 882 on this site:
http://www.cbttape.org
Everything, source and executable, is in EBCDIC and native z/OS file formats.
However, this software is not maintained and will not be upgraded. If you are
new to PCRE you should be looking at PCRE2 (version 10.30 or later).

#/bin/sh
# Script to prepare the files for building a PCRE release. It does some
# processing of the documentation, detrails files, and creates pcre.h.generic
# and config.h.generic (for use by builders who can't run ./configure).
# You must run this script before runnning "make dist". If its first argument
# is "doc", it stops after preparing the documentation. There are no other
# arguments. The script makes use of the following files:
# 132html A Perl script that converts a .1 or .3 man page into HTML. It
# "knows" the relevant troff constructs that are used in the PCRE
# man pages.
# CheckMan A Perl script that checks man pages for typos in the mark up.
# CleanTxt A Perl script that cleans up the output of "nroff -man" by
# removing backspaces and other redundant text so as to produce
# a readable .txt file.
# Detrail A Perl script that removes trailing spaces from files.
# doc/index.html.src
# A file that is copied as index.html into the doc/html directory
# when the HTML documentation is built. It works like this so that
# doc/html can be deleted and re-created from scratch.
# README & NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD
# These files are copied into the doc/html directory, with .txt
# extensions so that they can by hyperlinked from the HTML
# documentation, because some people just go to the HTML without
# looking for text files.
# First, sort out the documentation. Remove pcredemo.3 first because it won't
# pass the markup check (it is created below, using markup that none of the

This file contains a concatenation of the PCRE man pages, converted to plain
text format for ease of searching with a text editor, or for use on systems
that do not have a man page processor. The small individual files that give
synopses of each function in the library have not been included. Neither has
the pcredemo program. There are separate text files for the pcregrep and
pcretest commands.

@rem This file must use CRLF linebreaks to function properly
@rem and requires both pcretest and pcregrep
@rem This file was originally contributed by Ralf Junker, and touched up by
@rem Daniel Richard G. Tests 10-12 added by Philip H.
@rem Philip H also changed test 3 to use "wintest" files.
@rem
@rem Updated by Tom Fortmann to support explicit test numbers on the command line.
@rem Added argument validation and added error reporting.
@rem
@rem MS Windows batch file to run pcretest on testfiles with the correct
@rem options.
@rem
@rem Sheri Pierce added logic to skip feature dependent tests
@rem tests 4 5 9 15 and 18 require utf support
@rem tests 6 7 10 16 and 19 require ucp support
@rem 11 requires ucp and link size 2
@rem 12 requires presence of jit support
@rem 13 requires absence of jit support
@rem Sheri P also added override tests for study and jit testing
@rem Zoltan Herczeg added libpcre16 support
@rem Zoltan Herczeg added libpcre32 support

# FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS(NAME (DEFAULT_MSG|"Custom failure message") VAR1 ... )
# This macro is intended to be used in FindXXX.cmake modules files.
# It handles the REQUIRED and QUIET argument to FIND_PACKAGE() and
# it also sets the <UPPERCASED_NAME>_FOUND variable.
# The package is found if all variables listed are TRUE.
# Example:
#
# FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS(LibXml2 DEFAULT_MSG LIBXML2_LIBRARIES LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR)
#
# LibXml2 is considered to be found, if both LIBXML2_LIBRARIES and
# LIBXML2_INCLUDE_DIR are valid. Then also LIBXML2_FOUND is set to TRUE.
# If it is not found and REQUIRED was used, it fails with FATAL_ERROR,
# independent whether QUIET was used or not.
# If it is found, the location is reported using the VAR1 argument, so
# here a message "Found LibXml2: /usr/lib/libxml2.so" will be printed out.
# If the second argument is DEFAULT_MSG, the message in the failure case will
# be "Could NOT find LibXml2", if you don't like this message you can specify
# your own custom failure message there.

/* config.h. Generated from config.h.in by configure. */
/* config.h.in. Generated from configure.ac by autoheader. */
/* PCRE is written in Standard C, but there are a few non-standard things it
can cope with, allowing it to run on SunOS4 and other "close to standard"
systems.
In environments that support the GNU autotools, config.h.in is converted into
config.h by the "configure" script. In environments that use CMake,
config-cmake.in is converted into config.h. If you are going to build PCRE "by
hand" without using "configure" or CMake, you should copy the distributed
config.h.generic to config.h, and edit the macro definitions to be the way you
need them. You must then add -DHAVE_CONFIG_H to all of your compile commands,
so that config.h is included at the start of every source.
Alternatively, you can avoid editing by using -D on the compiler command line
to set the macro values. In this case, you do not have to set -DHAVE_CONFIG_H,
but if you do, default values will be taken from config.h for non-boolean
macros that are not defined on the command line.
Boolean macros such as HAVE_STDLIB_H and SUPPORT_PCRE8 should either be defined
(conventionally to 1) for TRUE, and not defined at all for FALSE. All such
macros are listed as a commented #undef in config.h.generic. Macros such as
MATCH_LIMIT, whose actual value is relevant, have defaults defined, but are
surrounded by #ifndef/#endif lines so that the value can be overridden by -D.
PCRE uses memmove() if HAVE_MEMMOVE is defined; otherwise it uses bcopy() if
HAVE_BCOPY is defined. If your system has neither bcopy() nor memmove(), make
sure both macros are undefined; an emulation function will then be used. */
/* By default, the \R escape sequence matches any Unicode line ending
character or sequence of characters. If BSR_ANYCRLF is defined (to any
value), this is changed so that backslash-R matches only CR, LF, or CRLF.
The build-time default can be overridden by the user of PCRE at runtime. */

/* If you are compiling for a system that uses EBCDIC instead of ASCII
character codes, define this macro to any value. You must also edit the
NEWLINE macro below to set a suitable EBCDIC newline, commonly 21 (0x15).
On systems that can use "configure" or CMake to set EBCDIC, NEWLINE is
automatically adjusted. When EBCDIC is set, PCRE assumes that all input
strings are in EBCDIC. If you do not define this macro, PCRE will assume
input strings are ASCII or UTF-8/16/32 Unicode. It is not possible to build
a version of PCRE that supports both EBCDIC and UTF-8/16/32. */

/* config.h.in. Generated from configure.ac by autoheader. */
/* PCRE is written in Standard C, but there are a few non-standard things it
can cope with, allowing it to run on SunOS4 and other "close to standard"
systems.
In environments that support the GNU autotools, config.h.in is converted into
config.h by the "configure" script. In environments that use CMake,
config-cmake.in is converted into config.h. If you are going to build PCRE "by
hand" without using "configure" or CMake, you should copy the distributed
config.h.generic to config.h, and edit the macro definitions to be the way you
need them. You must then add -DHAVE_CONFIG_H to all of your compile commands,
so that config.h is included at the start of every source.
Alternatively, you can avoid editing by using -D on the compiler command line
to set the macro values. In this case, you do not have to set -DHAVE_CONFIG_H,
but if you do, default values will be taken from config.h for non-boolean
macros that are not defined on the command line.
Boolean macros such as HAVE_STDLIB_H and SUPPORT_PCRE8 should either be defined
(conventionally to 1) for TRUE, and not defined at all for FALSE. All such
macros are listed as a commented #undef in config.h.generic. Macros such as
MATCH_LIMIT, whose actual value is relevant, have defaults defined, but are
surrounded by #ifndef/#endif lines so that the value can be overridden by -D.
PCRE uses memmove() if HAVE_MEMMOVE is defined; otherwise it uses bcopy() if
HAVE_BCOPY is defined. If your system has neither bcopy() nor memmove(), make
sure both macros are undefined; an emulation function will then be used. */
/* By default, the \R escape sequence matches any Unicode line ending
character or sequence of characters. If BSR_ANYCRLF is defined (to any
value), this is changed so that backslash-R matches only CR, LF, or CRLF.
The build-time default can be overridden by the user of PCRE at runtime. */

/* If you are compiling for a system that uses EBCDIC instead of ASCII
character codes, define this macro to any value. You must also edit the
NEWLINE macro below to set a suitable EBCDIC newline, commonly 21 (0x15).
On systems that can use "configure" or CMake to set EBCDIC, NEWLINE is
automatically adjusted. When EBCDIC is set, PCRE assumes that all input
strings are in EBCDIC. If you do not define this macro, PCRE will assume
input strings are ASCII or UTF-8/16/32 Unicode. It is not possible to build
a version of PCRE that supports both EBCDIC and UTF-8/16/32. */

## This next piece of magic avoids the "deleted header file" problem.
## The problem is that when a header file which appears in a .P file
## is deleted, the dependency causes make to die (because there is
## typically no way to rebuild the header). We avoid this by adding
## dummy dependencies for each header file. Too bad gcc doesn't do
## this for us directly.
## Some versions of gcc put a space before the ':'. On the theory
## that the space means something, we add a space to the output as
## well. hp depmode also adds that space, but also prefixes the VPATH
## to the object. Take care to not repeat it in the output.

Building PCRE without using autotools
-------------------------------------
NOTE: This document relates to PCRE releases that use the original API, with
library names libpcre, libpcre16, and libpcre32. January 2015 saw the first
release of a new API, known as PCRE2, with release numbers starting at 10.00
and library names libpcre2-8, libpcre2-16, and libpcre2-32. The old libraries
(now called PCRE1) are now at end of life, and 8.45 is the final release. New
projects are advised to use the new PCRE2 libraries.
This document contains the following sections:
General
Generic instructions for the PCRE C library
The C++ wrapper functions
Building for virtual Pascal
Stack size in Windows environments
Linking programs in Windows environments
Calling conventions in Windows environments
Comments about Win32 builds

Building under Windows with BCC5.5
Building using Borland C++ Builder 2007 (CB2007) and higher
Building PCRE on OpenVMS
Building PCRE on Stratus OpenVOS
Building PCRE on native z/OS and z/VM
GENERAL
I (Philip Hazel) have no experience of Windows or VMS sytems and how their
libraries work. The items in the PCRE distribution and Makefile that relate to
anything other than Linux systems are untested by me.
There are some other comments and files (including some documentation in CHM
format) in the Contrib directory on the FTP site:
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Contrib
The basic PCRE library consists entirely of code written in Standard C, and so
should compile successfully on any system that has a Standard C compiler and
library. The C++ wrapper functions are a separate issue (see below).
The PCRE distribution includes a "configure" file for use by the configure/make
(autotools) build system, as found in many Unix-like environments. The README
file contains information about the options for "configure".
There is also support for CMake, which some users prefer, especially in Windows
environments, though it can also be run in Unix-like environments. See the
section entitled "Building PCRE on Windows with CMake" below.
Versions of config.h and pcre.h are distributed in the PCRE tarballs under the
names config.h.generic and pcre.h.generic. These are provided for those who
build PCRE without using "configure" or CMake. If you use "configure" or CMake,
the .generic versions are not used.
GENERIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PCRE C LIBRARY
The following are generic instructions for building the PCRE C library "by
hand". If you are going to use CMake, this section does not apply to you; you
can skip ahead to the CMake section.
(1) Copy or rename the file config.h.generic as config.h, and edit the macro
settings that it contains to whatever is appropriate for your environment.
In particular, you can alter the definition of the NEWLINE macro to
specify what character(s) you want to be interpreted as line terminators.
In an EBCDIC environment, you MUST change NEWLINE, because its default
value is 10, an ASCII LF. The usual EBCDIC newline character is 21 (0x15,
NL), though in some cases it may be 37 (0x25).
When you compile any of the PCRE modules, you must specify -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
to your compiler so that config.h is included in the sources.
An alternative approach is not to edit config.h, but to use -D on the
compiler command line to make any changes that you need to the
configuration options. In this case -DHAVE_CONFIG_H must not be set.
NOTE: There have been occasions when the way in which certain parameters
in config.h are used has changed between releases. (In the configure/make
world, this is handled automatically.) When upgrading to a new release,
you are strongly advised to review config.h.generic before re-using what
you had previously.
(2) Copy or rename the file pcre.h.generic as pcre.h.
(3) EITHER:
Copy or rename file pcre_chartables.c.dist as pcre_chartables.c.
OR:
Compile dftables.c as a stand-alone program (using -DHAVE_CONFIG_H if
you have set up config.h), and then run it with the single argument
"pcre_chartables.c". This generates a set of standard character tables
and writes them to that file. The tables are generated using the default
C locale for your system. If you want to use a locale that is specified
by LC_xxx environment variables, add the -L option to the dftables
command. You must use this method if you are building on a system that
uses EBCDIC code.
The tables in pcre_chartables.c are defaults. The caller of PCRE can
specify alternative tables at run time.
(4) Ensure that you have the following header files:
pcre_internal.h
ucp.h
(5) For an 8-bit library, compile the following source files, setting
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H as a compiler option if you have set up config.h with your
configuration, or else use other -D settings to change the configuration
as required.
pcre_byte_order.c
pcre_chartables.c
pcre_compile.c
pcre_config.c
pcre_dfa_exec.c
pcre_exec.c
pcre_fullinfo.c
pcre_get.c
pcre_globals.c
pcre_jit_compile.c
pcre_maketables.c
pcre_newline.c
pcre_ord2utf8.c
pcre_refcount.c
pcre_string_utils.c
pcre_study.c
pcre_tables.c
pcre_ucd.c
pcre_valid_utf8.c
pcre_version.c
pcre_xclass.c
Make sure that you include -I. in the compiler command (or equivalent for
an unusual compiler) so that all included PCRE header files are first
sought in the current directory. Otherwise you run the risk of picking up
a previously-installed file from somewhere else.
Note that you must still compile pcre_jit_compile.c, even if you have not
defined SUPPORT_JIT in config.h, because when JIT support is not
configured, dummy functions are compiled. When JIT support IS configured,
pcre_jit_compile.c #includes sources from the sljit subdirectory, where
there should be 16 files, all of whose names begin with "sljit".
(6) Now link all the compiled code into an object library in whichever form
your system keeps such libraries. This is the basic PCRE C 8-bit library.
If your system has static and shared libraries, you may have to do this
once for each type.
(7) If you want to build a 16-bit library (as well as, or instead of the 8-bit
or 32-bit libraries) repeat steps 5-6 with the following files:
pcre16_byte_order.c
pcre16_chartables.c
pcre16_compile.c
pcre16_config.c
pcre16_dfa_exec.c
pcre16_exec.c
pcre16_fullinfo.c
pcre16_get.c
pcre16_globals.c
pcre16_jit_compile.c
pcre16_maketables.c
pcre16_newline.c
pcre16_ord2utf16.c
pcre16_refcount.c
pcre16_string_utils.c
pcre16_study.c
pcre16_tables.c
pcre16_ucd.c
pcre16_utf16_utils.c
pcre16_valid_utf16.c
pcre16_version.c
pcre16_xclass.c
(8) If you want to build a 32-bit library (as well as, or instead of the 8-bit
or 16-bit libraries) repeat steps 5-6 with the following files:
pcre32_byte_order.c
pcre32_chartables.c
pcre32_compile.c
pcre32_config.c
pcre32_dfa_exec.c
pcre32_exec.c
pcre32_fullinfo.c
pcre32_get.c
pcre32_globals.c
pcre32_jit_compile.c
pcre32_maketables.c
pcre32_newline.c
pcre32_ord2utf32.c
pcre32_refcount.c
pcre32_string_utils.c
pcre32_study.c
pcre32_tables.c
pcre32_ucd.c
pcre32_utf32_utils.c
pcre32_valid_utf32.c
pcre32_version.c
pcre32_xclass.c
(9) If you want to build the POSIX wrapper functions (which apply only to the
8-bit library), ensure that you have the pcreposix.h file and then compile
pcreposix.c (remembering -DHAVE_CONFIG_H if necessary). Link the result
(on its own) as the pcreposix library.
(10) The pcretest program can be linked with any combination of the 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit libraries (depending on what you selected in config.h).
Compile pcretest.c and pcre_printint.c (again, don't forget
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H) and link them together with the appropriate library/ies.
If you compiled an 8-bit library, pcretest also needs the pcreposix
wrapper library unless you compiled it with -DNOPOSIX.
(11) Run pcretest on the testinput files in the testdata directory, and check
that the output matches the corresponding testoutput files. There are
comments about what each test does in the section entitled "Testing PCRE"
in the README file. If you compiled more than one of the 8-bit, 16-bit and
32-bit libraries, you need to run pcretest with the -16 option to do
16-bit tests and with the -32 option to do 32-bit tests.
Some tests are relevant only when certain build-time options are selected.
For example, test 4 is for UTF-8/UTF-16/UTF-32 support, and will not run
if you have built PCRE without it. See the comments at the start of each
testinput file. If you have a suitable Unix-like shell, the RunTest script
will run the appropriate tests for you. The command "RunTest list" will
output a list of all the tests.
Note that the supplied files are in Unix format, with just LF characters
as line terminators. You may need to edit them to change this if your
system uses a different convention. If you are using Windows, you probably
should use the wintestinput3 file instead of testinput3 (and the
corresponding output file). This is a locale test; wintestinput3 sets the
locale to "french" rather than "fr_FR", and there some minor output
differences.
(12) If you have built PCRE with SUPPORT_JIT, the JIT features will be tested
by the testdata files. However, you might also like to build and run
the freestanding JIT test program, pcre_jit_test.c.
(13) If you want to use the pcregrep command, compile and link pcregrep.c; it
uses only the basic 8-bit PCRE library (it does not need the pcreposix
library).
THE C++ WRAPPER FUNCTIONS
The PCRE distribution also contains some C++ wrapper functions and tests,
applicable to the 8-bit library, which were contributed by Google Inc. On a
system that can use "configure" and "make", the functions are automatically
built into a library called pcrecpp. It should be straightforward to compile
the .cc files manually on other systems. The files called xxx_unittest.cc are
test programs for each of the corresponding xxx.cc files.
BUILDING FOR VIRTUAL PASCAL
A script for building PCRE using Borland's C++ compiler for use with VPASCAL
was contributed by Alexander Tokarev. Stefan Weber updated the script and added
additional files. The following files in the distribution are for building PCRE
for use with VP/Borland: makevp_c.txt, makevp_l.txt, makevp.bat, pcregexp.pas.
STACK SIZE IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS
The default processor stack size of 1Mb in some Windows environments is too
small for matching patterns that need much recursion. In particular, test 2 may
fail because of this. Normally, running out of stack causes a crash, but there
have been cases where the test program has just died silently. See your linker
documentation for how to increase stack size if you experience problems. The
Linux default of 8Mb is a reasonable choice for the stack, though even that can
be too small for some pattern/subject combinations.
PCRE has a compile configuration option to disable the use of stack for
recursion so that heap is used instead. However, pattern matching is
significantly slower when this is done. There is more about stack usage in the
"pcrestack" documentation.
LINKING PROGRAMS IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS
If you want to statically link a program against a PCRE library in the form of
a non-dll .a file, you must define PCRE_STATIC before including pcre.h or
pcrecpp.h, otherwise the pcre_malloc() and pcre_free() exported functions will
be declared __declspec(dllimport), with unwanted results.
CALLING CONVENTIONS IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS
It is possible to compile programs to use different calling conventions using
MSVC. Search the web for "calling conventions" for more information. To make it
easier to change the calling convention for the exported functions in the
PCRE library, the macro PCRE_CALL_CONVENTION is present in all the external
definitions. It can be set externally when compiling (e.g. in CFLAGS). If it is
not set, it defaults to empty; the default calling convention is then used
(which is what is wanted most of the time).
COMMENTS ABOUT WIN32 BUILDS (see also "BUILDING PCRE ON WINDOWS WITH CMAKE")
There are two ways of building PCRE using the "configure, make, make install"
paradigm on Windows systems: using MinGW or using Cygwin. These are not at all
the same thing; they are completely different from each other. There is also
support for building using CMake, which some users find a more straightforward
way of building PCRE under Windows.
The MinGW home page (http://www.mingw.org/) says this:
MinGW: A collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows
specific header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that
allow one to produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any
3rd-party C runtime DLLs.
The Cygwin home page (http://www.cygwin.com/) says this:
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:
. A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing
substantial Linux API functionality
. A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel.
The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86 32
bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, with the exception of Windows CE.
On both MinGW and Cygwin, PCRE should build correctly using:
./configure && make && make install
This should create two libraries called libpcre and libpcreposix, and, if you
have enabled building the C++ wrapper, a third one called libpcrecpp. These are
independent libraries: when you link with libpcreposix or libpcrecpp you must
also link with libpcre, which contains the basic functions. (Some earlier
releases of PCRE included the basic libpcre functions in libpcreposix. This no
longer happens.)
A user submitted a special-purpose patch that makes it easy to create
"pcre.dll" under mingw32 using the "msys" environment. It provides "pcre.dll"
as a special target. If you use this target, no other files are built, and in
particular, the pcretest and pcregrep programs are not built. An example of how
this might be used is:
./configure --enable-utf --disable-cpp CFLAGS="-03 -s"; make pcre.dll
Using Cygwin's compiler generates libraries and executables that depend on
cygwin1.dll. If a library that is generated this way is distributed,
cygwin1.dll has to be distributed as well. Since cygwin1.dll is under the GPL
licence, this forces not only PCRE to be under the GPL, but also the entire
application. A distributor who wants to keep their own code proprietary must
purchase an appropriate Cygwin licence.
MinGW has no such restrictions. The MinGW compiler generates a library or
executable that can run standalone on Windows without any third party dll or
licensing issues.
But there is more complication:
If a Cygwin user uses the -mno-cygwin Cygwin gcc flag, what that really does is
to tell Cygwin's gcc to use the MinGW gcc. Cygwin's gcc is only acting as a
front end to MinGW's gcc (if you install Cygwin's gcc, you get both Cygwin's
gcc and MinGW's gcc). So, a user can:
. Build native binaries by using MinGW or by getting Cygwin and using
-mno-cygwin.
. Build binaries that depend on cygwin1.dll by using Cygwin with the normal
compiler flags.
The test files that are supplied with PCRE are in UNIX format, with LF
characters as line terminators. Unless your PCRE library uses a default newline
option that includes LF as a valid newline, it may be necessary to change the
line terminators in the test files to get some of the tests to work.
BUILDING PCRE ON WINDOWS WITH CMAKE
CMake is an alternative configuration facility that can be used instead of
"configure". CMake creates project files (make files, solution files, etc.)
tailored to numerous development environments, including Visual Studio,
Borland, Msys, MinGW, NMake, and Unix. If possible, use short paths with no
spaces in the names for your CMake installation and your PCRE source and build
directories.
The following instructions were contributed by a PCRE user. If they are not
followed exactly, errors may occur. In the event that errors do occur, it is
recommended that you delete the CMake cache before attempting to repeat the
CMake build process. In the CMake GUI, the cache can be deleted by selecting
"File > Delete Cache".
1. Install the latest CMake version available from http://www.cmake.org/, and
ensure that cmake\bin is on your path.
2. Unzip (retaining folder structure) the PCRE source tree into a source
directory such as C:\pcre. You should ensure your local date and time
is not earlier than the file dates in your source dir if the release is
very new.
3. Create a new, empty build directory, preferably a subdirectory of the
source dir. For example, C:\pcre\pcre-xx\build.
4. Run cmake-gui from the Shell envirornment of your build tool, for example,
Msys for Msys/MinGW or Visual Studio Command Prompt for VC/VC++. Do not try
to start Cmake from the Windows Start menu, as this can lead to errors.
5. Enter C:\pcre\pcre-xx and C:\pcre\pcre-xx\build for the source and build
directories, respectively.
6. Hit the "Configure" button.
7. Select the particular IDE / build tool that you are using (Visual
Studio, MSYS makefiles, MinGW makefiles, etc.)
8. The GUI will then list several configuration options. This is where
you can enable UTF-8 support or other PCRE optional features.
9. Hit "Configure" again. The adjacent "Generate" button should now be
active.
10. Hit "Generate".
11. The build directory should now contain a usable build system, be it a
solution file for Visual Studio, makefiles for MinGW, etc. Exit from
cmake-gui and use the generated build system with your compiler or IDE.
E.g., for MinGW you can run "make", or for Visual Studio, open the PCRE
solution, select the desired configuration (Debug, or Release, etc.) and
build the ALL_BUILD project.
12. If during configuration with cmake-gui you've elected to build the test
programs, you can execute them by building the test project. E.g., for
MinGW: "make test"; for Visual Studio build the RUN_TESTS project. The
most recent build configuration is targeted by the tests. A summary of
test results is presented. Complete test output is subsequently
available for review in Testing\Temporary under your build dir.
USE OF RELATIVE PATHS WITH CMAKE ON WINDOWS
A PCRE user comments as follows: I thought that others may want to know the
current state of CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS support on Windows. Here it is:
-- AdditionalIncludeDirectories is only partially modified (only the
first path - see below)
-- Only some of the contained file paths are modified - shown below for
pcre.vcproj
-- It properly modifies
I am sure CMake people can fix that if they want to. Until then one will
need to replace existing absolute paths in project files with relative
paths manually (e.g. from VS) - relative to project file location. I did
just that before being told to try CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS. Not a big
deal.
AdditionalIncludeDirectories="E:\builds\pcre\build;E:\builds\pcre\pcre-7.5;"
AdditionalIncludeDirectories=".;E:\builds\pcre\pcre-7.5;"
RelativePath="pcre.h"
RelativePath="pcre_chartables.c"
RelativePath="pcre_chartables.c.rule"
TESTING WITH RUNTEST.BAT
If configured with CMake, building the test project ("make test" or building
ALL_TESTS in Visual Studio) creates (and runs) pcre_test.bat (and depending
on your configuration options, possibly other test programs) in the build
directory. Pcre_test.bat runs RunTest.Bat with correct source and exe paths.
For manual testing with RunTest.bat, provided the build dir is a subdirectory
of the source directory: Open command shell window. Chdir to the location
of your pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe programs. Call RunTest.bat with
"..\RunTest.Bat" or "..\..\RunTest.bat" as appropriate.
To run only a particular test with RunTest.Bat provide a test number argument.
Otherwise:
1. Copy RunTest.bat into the directory where pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe
have been created.
2. Edit RunTest.bat to indentify the full or relative location of
the pcre source (wherein which the testdata folder resides), e.g.:
set srcdir=C:\pcre\pcre-8.20
3. In a Windows command environment, chdir to the location of your bat and
exe programs.
4. Run RunTest.bat. Test outputs will automatically be compared to expected
results, and discrepancies will be identified in the console output.
To independently test the just-in-time compiler, run pcre_jit_test.exe.
To test pcrecpp, run pcrecpp_unittest.exe, pcre_stringpiece_unittest.exe and
pcre_scanner_unittest.exe.
BUILDING UNDER WINDOWS CE WITH VISUAL STUDIO 200x
Vincent Richomme sent a zip archive of files to help with this process. They
can be found in the file "pcre-vsbuild.zip" in the Contrib directory of the FTP
site.
BUILDING UNDER WINDOWS WITH BCC5.5
Michael Roy sent these comments about building PCRE under Windows with BCC5.5:
Some of the core BCC libraries have a version of PCRE from 1998 built in, which
can lead to pcre_exec() giving an erroneous PCRE_ERROR_NULL from a version
mismatch. I'm including an easy workaround below, if you'd like to include it
in the non-unix instructions:
When linking a project with BCC5.5, pcre.lib must be included before any of the
libraries cw32.lib, cw32i.lib, cw32mt.lib, and cw32mti.lib on the command line.
BUILDING USING BORLAND C++ BUILDER 2007 (CB2007) AND HIGHER
A PCRE user sent these comments about this environment (see also the comment
from another user that follows them):
The XE versions of C++ Builder come with a RegularExpressionsCore class which
contain a version of TPerlRegEx. However, direct use of the C PCRE library may
be desirable.
The default makevp.bat, however, supplied with PCRE builds a version of PCRE
that is not usable with any version of C++ Builder because the compiler ships
with an embedded version of PCRE, version 2.01 from 1998! [See also the note
about BCC5.5 above.] If you want to use PCRE you'll need to rename the
functions (pcre_compile to pcre_compile_bcc, etc) or do as I have done and just
use the 16 bit versions. I'm using std::wstring everywhere anyway. Since the
embedded version of PCRE does not have the 16 bit function names, there is no
conflict.
Building PCRE using a C++ Builder static library project file (recommended):
1. Rename or remove pcre.h, pcreposi.h, and pcreposix.h from your C++ Builder
original include path.
2. Download PCRE from pcre.org and extract to a directory.
3. Rename pcre_chartables.c.dist to pcre_chartables.c, pcre.h.generic to
pcre.h, and config.h.generic to config.h.
4. Edit pcre.h and pcre_config.c so that they include config.h.
5. Edit config.h like so:
Comment out the following lines:
#define PACKAGE "pcre"
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
#define PACKAGE_NAME "PCRE"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "PCRE 8.32"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "pcre"
#define PACKAGE_URL ""
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "8.32"
Add the following lines:
#ifndef SUPPORT_UTF
#define SUPPORT_UTF 100 // any value is fine
#endif
#ifndef SUPPORT_UCP
#define SUPPORT_UCP 101 // any value is fine
#endif
#ifndef SUPPORT_UCP
#define SUPPORT_PCRE16 102 // any value is fine
#endif
#ifndef SUPPORT_UTF8
#define SUPPORT_UTF8 103 // any value is fine
#endif
6. Build a C++ Builder project using the IDE. Go to File / New / Other and
choose Static Library. You can name it pcre.cbproj or whatever. Now set your
paths by going to Project / Options. Set the Include path. Do this from the
"Base" option to apply to both Release and Debug builds. Now add the following
files to the project:
pcre.h
pcre16_byte_order.c
pcre16_chartables.c
pcre16_compile.c
pcre16_config.c
pcre16_dfa_exec.c
pcre16_exec.c
pcre16_fullinfo.c
pcre16_get.c
pcre16_globals.c
pcre16_maketables.c
pcre16_newline.c
pcre16_ord2utf16.c
pcre16_printint.c
pcre16_refcount.c
pcre16_string_utils.c
pcre16_study.c
pcre16_tables.c
pcre16_ucd.c
pcre16_utf16_utils.c
pcre16_valid_utf16.c
pcre16_version.c
pcre16_xclass.c
//Optional
pcre_version.c
7. After compiling the .lib file, copy the .lib and header files to a project
you want to use PCRE with. Enjoy.
Optional ... Building PCRE using the makevp.bat file:
1. Edit makevp_c.txt and makevp_l.txt and change all the names to the 16 bit
versions.
2. Edit makevp.bat and set the path to C++ Builder. Run makevp.bat.
Another PCRE user added this comment:
Another approach I successfully used for some years with BCB 5 and 6 was to
make sure that include and library paths of PCRE are configured before the
default paths of the IDE in the dialogs where one can manage those paths.
Afterwards one can open the project files using a text editor and manually add
the self created library for pcre itself, pcrecpp doesn't ship with the IDE, in
the library nodes where the IDE manages its own libraries to link against in
front of the IDE-own libraries. This way one can use the default PCRE function
names without getting access violations on runtime.
<ALLLIB value="libpcre.lib $(LIBFILES) $(LIBRARIES) import32.lib cp32mt.lib"/>
BUILDING PCRE ON OPENVMS
Stephen Hoffman sent the following, in December 2012:
"Here <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1847> is a very short write-up on the
OpenVMS port and here
<http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/labsnotes/pcre-vms-8_32.zip>
is a zip with the OpenVMS files, and with one modified testing-related PCRE
file." This is a port of PCRE 8.32.
Earlier, Dan Mooney sent the following comments about building PCRE on OpenVMS.
They relate to an older version of PCRE that used fewer source files, so the
exact commands will need changing. See the current list of source files above.
"It was quite easy to compile and link the library. I don't have a formal
make file but the attached file [reproduced below] contains the OpenVMS DCL
commands I used to build the library. I had to add #define
POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD 10 to pcre.h since it was not defined anywhere.
The library was built on:
O/S: HP OpenVMS v7.3-1
Compiler: Compaq C v6.5-001-48BCD
Linker: vA13-01
The test results did not match 100% due to the issues you mention in your
documentation regarding isprint(), iscntrl(), isgraph() and ispunct(). I
modified some of the character tables temporarily and was able to get the
results to match. Tests using the fr locale did not match since I don't have
that locale loaded. The study size was always reported to be 3 less than the
value in the standard test output files."

BUILDING PCRE ON STRATUS OPENVOS
These notes on the port of PCRE to VOS (lightly edited) were supplied by
Ashutosh Warikoo, whose email address has the local part awarikoo and the
domain nse.co.in. The port was for version 7.9 in August 2009.
1. Building PCRE
I built pcre on OpenVOS Release 17.0.1at using GNU Tools 3.4a without any
problems. I used the following packages to build PCRE:
ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/ga/posix.save.evf.gz
Please read and follow the instructions that come with these packages. To start
the build of pcre, from the root of the package type:
./build.sh
2. Installing PCRE
Once you have successfully built PCRE, login to the SysAdmin group, switch to
the root user, and type
[ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr --if needed ]
[ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr>local --if needed ]
!gmake install
This installs PCRE and its man pages into /usr/local. You can add
(master_disk)>usr>local>bin to your command search paths, or if you are in
BASH, add /usr/local/bin to the PATH environment variable.
4. Restrictions
This port requires readline library optionally. However during the build I
faced some yet unexplored errors while linking with readline. As it was an
optional component I chose to disable it.
5. Known Problems
I ran the test suite, but you will have to be your own judge of whether this
command, and this port, suits your purposes. If you find any problems that
appear to be related to the port itself, please let me know. Please see the
build.log file in the root of the package also.
BUILDING PCRE ON NATIVE Z/OS AND Z/VM
z/OS and z/VM are operating systems for mainframe computers, produced by IBM.
The character code used is EBCDIC, not ASCII or Unicode. In z/OS, UNIX APIs and
applications can be supported through UNIX System Services, and in such an
environment PCRE can be built in the same way as in other systems. However, in
native z/OS (without UNIX System Services) and in z/VM, special ports are
required. PCRE1 version 8.39 is available in file 882 on this site:
http://www.cbttape.org
Everything, source and executable, is in EBCDIC and native z/OS file formats.
However, this software is not maintained and will not be upgraded. If you are
new to PCRE you should be looking at PCRE2 (version 10.30 or later).

This document relates to PCRE releases that use the original API, with library
names libpcre, libpcre16, and libpcre32. January 2015 saw the first release of
a new API, known as PCRE2, with release numbers starting at 10.00 and library
names libpcre2-8, libpcre2-16, and libpcre2-32. The old libraries (now called
PCRE1) are now at end of life, and 8.45 is the final release. New projects are
advised to use the new PCRE2 libraries.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">INTRODUCTION</a><br>
<P>
The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression
pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl, with just a few
differences. Some features that appeared in Python and PCRE before they
appeared in Perl are also available using the Python syntax, there is some
support for one or two .NET and Oniguruma syntax items, and there is an option
for requesting some minor changes that give better JavaScript compatibility.
</P>
<P>
Starting with release 8.30, it is possible to compile two separate PCRE
libraries: the original, which supports 8-bit character strings (including
UTF-8 strings), and a second library that supports 16-bit character strings
(including UTF-16 strings). The build process allows either one or both to be
built. The majority of the work to make this possible was done by Zoltan
Herczeg.
</P>
<P>
Starting with release 8.32 it is possible to compile a third separate PCRE
library that supports 32-bit character strings (including UTF-32 strings). The
build process allows any combination of the 8-, 16- and 32-bit libraries. The
work to make this possible was done by Christian Persch.
</P>
<P>
The three libraries contain identical sets of functions, except that the names
in the 16-bit library start with <b>pcre16_</b> instead of <b>pcre_</b>, and the
names in the 32-bit library start with <b>pcre32_</b> instead of <b>pcre_</b>. To
avoid over-complication and reduce the documentation maintenance load, most of
the documentation describes the 8-bit library, with the differences for the
16-bit and 32-bit libraries described separately in the
<a href="pcre16.html"><b>pcre16</b></a>
and
<a href="pcre32.html"><b>pcre32</b></a>
pages. References to functions or structures of the form <i>pcre[16|32]_xxx</i>
should be read as meaning "<i>pcre_xxx</i> when using the 8-bit library,
<i>pcre16_xxx</i> when using the 16-bit library, or <i>pcre32_xxx</i> when using
the 32-bit library".
</P>
<P>
The current implementation of PCRE corresponds approximately with Perl 5.12,
including support for UTF-8/16/32 encoded strings and Unicode general category
properties. However, UTF-8/16/32 and Unicode support has to be explicitly
enabled; it is not the default. The Unicode tables correspond to Unicode
release 6.3.0.
</P>
<P>
In addition to the Perl-compatible matching function, PCRE contains an
alternative function that matches the same compiled patterns in a different
way. In certain circumstances, the alternative function has some advantages.
For a discussion of the two matching algorithms, see the
<a href="pcrematching.html"><b>pcrematching</b></a>
page.
</P>
<P>
PCRE is written in C and released as a C library. A number of people have
written wrappers and interfaces of various kinds. In particular, Google Inc.
have provided a comprehensive C++ wrapper for the 8-bit library. This is now
included as part of the PCRE distribution. The
<a href="pcrecpp.html"><b>pcrecpp</b></a>
page has details of this interface. Other people's contributions can be found
in the <i>Contrib</i> directory at the primary FTP site, which is:
<a href="ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre">ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre</a>
</P>
<P>
Details of exactly which Perl regular expression features are and are not
supported by PCRE are given in separate documents. See the
<a href="pcrepattern.html"><b>pcrepattern</b></a>
and
<a href="pcrecompat.html"><b>pcrecompat</b></a>
pages. There is a syntax summary in the
<a href="pcresyntax.html"><b>pcresyntax</b></a>
page.
</P>
<P>
Some features of PCRE can be included, excluded, or changed when the library is
built. The
<a href="pcre_config.html"><b>pcre_config()</b></a>
function makes it possible for a client to discover which features are
available. The features themselves are described in the
<a href="pcrebuild.html"><b>pcrebuild</b></a>
page. Documentation about building PCRE for various operating systems can be
found in the
<a href="README.txt"><b>README</b></a>
and
<a href="NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD.txt"><b>NON-AUTOTOOLS_BUILD</b></a>
files in the source distribution.
</P>
<P>
The libraries contains a number of undocumented internal functions and data
tables that are used by more than one of the exported external functions, but
which are not intended for use by external callers. Their names all begin with
"_pcre_" or "_pcre16_" or "_pcre32_", which hopefully will not provoke any name
clashes. In some environments, it is possible to control which external symbols
are exported when a shared library is built, and in these cases the
undocumented symbols are not exported.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS</a><br>
<P>
If you are using PCRE in a non-UTF application that permits users to supply
arbitrary patterns for compilation, you should be aware of a feature that
allows users to turn on UTF support from within a pattern, provided that PCRE
was built with UTF support. For example, an 8-bit pattern that begins with
"(*UTF8)" or "(*UTF)" turns on UTF-8 mode, which interprets patterns and
subjects as strings of UTF-8 characters instead of individual 8-bit characters.
This causes both the pattern and any data against which it is matched to be
checked for UTF-8 validity. If the data string is very long, such a check might
use sufficiently many resources as to cause your application to lose
performance.
</P>
<P>
One way of guarding against this possibility is to use the
<b>pcre_fullinfo()</b> function to check the compiled pattern's options for UTF.
Alternatively, from release 8.33, you can set the PCRE_NEVER_UTF option at
compile time. This causes a compile time error if a pattern contains a
UTF-setting sequence.
</P>
<P>
If your application is one that supports UTF, be aware that validity checking
can take time. If the same data string is to be matched many times, you can use
the PCRE_NO_UTF[8|16|32]_CHECK option for the second and subsequent matches to
save redundant checks.
</P>
<P>
Another way that performance can be hit is by running a pattern that has a very
large search tree against a string that will never match. Nested unlimited
repeats in a pattern are a common example. PCRE provides some protection
against this: see the PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT feature in the
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
page.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">USER DOCUMENTATION</a><br>
<P>
The user documentation for PCRE comprises a number of different sections. In
the "man" format, each of these is a separate "man page". In the HTML format,
each is a separate page, linked from the index page. In the plain text format,
the descriptions of the <b>pcregrep</b> and <b>pcretest</b> programs are in files
called <b>pcregrep.txt</b> and <b>pcretest.txt</b>, respectively. The remaining
sections, except for the <b>pcredemo</b> section (which is a program listing),
are concatenated in <b>pcre.txt</b>, for ease of searching. The sections are as
follows:
<pre>
pcre this document
pcre-config show PCRE installation configuration information
pcre16 details of the 16-bit library
pcre32 details of the 32-bit library
pcreapi details of PCRE's native C API
pcrebuild building PCRE
pcrecallout details of the callout feature
pcrecompat discussion of Perl compatibility
pcrecpp details of the C++ wrapper for the 8-bit library
pcredemo a demonstration C program that uses PCRE
pcregrep description of the <b>pcregrep</b> command (8-bit only)
pcrejit discussion of the just-in-time optimization support
pcrelimits details of size and other limits
pcrematching discussion of the two matching algorithms
pcrepartial details of the partial matching facility
pcrepattern syntax and semantics of supported regular expressions
pcreperform discussion of performance issues
pcreposix the POSIX-compatible C API for the 8-bit library
pcreprecompile details of saving and re-using precompiled patterns
pcresample discussion of the pcredemo program
pcrestack discussion of stack usage
pcresyntax quick syntax reference
pcretest description of the <b>pcretest</b> testing command
pcreunicode discussion of Unicode and UTF-8/16/32 support
</pre>
In the "man" and HTML formats, there is also a short page for each C library
function, listing its arguments and results.

<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">THE PCRE 16-BIT LIBRARY</a><br>
<P>
Starting with release 8.30, it is possible to compile a PCRE library that
supports 16-bit character strings, including UTF-16 strings, as well as or
instead of the original 8-bit library. The majority of the work to make this
possible was done by Zoltan Herczeg. The two libraries contain identical sets
of functions, used in exactly the same way. Only the names of the functions and
the data types of their arguments and results are different. To avoid
over-complication and reduce the documentation maintenance load, most of the
PCRE documentation describes the 8-bit library, with only occasional references
to the 16-bit library. This page describes what is different when you use the
16-bit library.
</P>
<P>
WARNING: A single application can be linked with both libraries, but you must
take care when processing any particular pattern to use functions from just one
library. For example, if you want to study a pattern that was compiled with
<b>pcre16_compile()</b>, you must do so with <b>pcre16_study()</b>, not
<b>pcre_study()</b>, and you must free the study data with
<b>pcre16_free_study()</b>.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">THE HEADER FILE</a><br>
<P>
There is only one header file, <b>pcre.h</b>. It contains prototypes for all the
functions in all libraries, as well as definitions of flags, structures, error
codes, etc.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">THE LIBRARY NAME</a><br>
<P>
In Unix-like systems, the 16-bit library is called <b>libpcre16</b>, and can
normally be accesss by adding <b>-lpcre16</b> to the command for linking an
application that uses PCRE.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">STRING TYPES</a><br>
<P>
In the 8-bit library, strings are passed to PCRE library functions as vectors
of bytes with the C type "char *". In the 16-bit library, strings are passed as
vectors of unsigned 16-bit quantities. The macro PCRE_UCHAR16 specifies an
appropriate data type, and PCRE_SPTR16 is defined as "const PCRE_UCHAR16 *". In
very many environments, "short int" is a 16-bit data type. When PCRE is built,
it defines PCRE_UCHAR16 as "unsigned short int", but checks that it really is a
16-bit data type. If it is not, the build fails with an error message telling
the maintainer to modify the definition appropriately.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC1">STRUCTURE TYPES</a><br>
<P>
The types of the opaque structures that are used for compiled 16-bit patterns
and JIT stacks are <b>pcre16</b> and <b>pcre16_jit_stack</b> respectively. The
type of the user-accessible structure that is returned by <b>pcre16_study()</b>
is <b>pcre16_extra</b>, and the type of the structure that is used for passing
data to a callout function is <b>pcre16_callout_block</b>. These structures
contain the same fields, with the same names, as their 8-bit counterparts. The
only difference is that pointers to character strings are 16-bit instead of
8-bit types.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC11" href="#TOC1">16-BIT FUNCTIONS</a><br>
<P>
For every function in the 8-bit library there is a corresponding function in
the 16-bit library with a name that starts with <b>pcre16_</b> instead of
<b>pcre_</b>. The prototypes are listed above. In addition, there is one extra
function, <b>pcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()</b>. This is a utility function
that converts a UTF-16 character string to host byte order if necessary. The
other 16-bit functions expect the strings they are passed to be in host byte
order.
</P>
<P>
The <i>input</i> and <i>output</i> arguments of
<b>pcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()</b> may point to the same address, that is,
conversion in place is supported. The output buffer must be at least as long as
the input.
</P>
<P>
The <i>length</i> argument specifies the number of 16-bit data units in the
input string; a negative value specifies a zero-terminated string.
</P>
<P>
If <i>byte_order</i> is NULL, it is assumed that the string starts off in host
byte order. This may be changed by byte-order marks (BOMs) anywhere in the
string (commonly as the first character).
</P>
<P>
If <i>byte_order</i> is not NULL, a non-zero value of the integer to which it
points means that the input starts off in host byte order, otherwise the
opposite order is assumed. Again, BOMs in the string can change this. The final
byte order is passed back at the end of processing.
</P>
<P>
If <i>keep_boms</i> is not zero, byte-order mark characters (0xfeff) are copied
into the output string. Otherwise they are discarded.
</P>
<P>
The result of the function is the number of 16-bit units placed into the output
buffer, including the zero terminator if the string was zero-terminated.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC12" href="#TOC1">SUBJECT STRING OFFSETS</a><br>
<P>
The lengths and starting offsets of subject strings must be specified in 16-bit
data units, and the offsets within subject strings that are returned by the
matching functions are in also 16-bit units rather than bytes.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC13" href="#TOC1">NAMED SUBPATTERNS</a><br>
<P>
The name-to-number translation table that is maintained for named subpatterns
uses 16-bit characters. The <b>pcre16_get_stringtable_entries()</b> function
returns the length of each entry in the table as the number of 16-bit data
units.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC14" href="#TOC1">OPTION NAMES</a><br>
<P>
There are two new general option names, PCRE_UTF16 and PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK,
which correspond to PCRE_UTF8 and PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK in the 8-bit library. In
fact, these new options define the same bits in the options word. There is a
discussion about the
<a href="pcreunicode.html#utf16strings">validity of UTF-16 strings</a>
in the
<a href="pcreunicode.html"><b>pcreunicode</b></a>
page.
</P>
<P>
For the <b>pcre16_config()</b> function there is an option PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16
that returns 1 if UTF-16 support is configured, otherwise 0. If this option is
given to <b>pcre_config()</b> or <b>pcre32_config()</b>, or if the
PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32 option is given to <b>pcre16_config()</b>,
the result is the PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION error.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC15" href="#TOC1">CHARACTER CODES</a><br>
<P>
In 16-bit mode, when PCRE_UTF16 is not set, character values are treated in the
same way as in 8-bit, non UTF-8 mode, except, of course, that they can range
from 0 to 0xffff instead of 0 to 0xff. Character types for characters less than
0xff can therefore be influenced by the locale in the same way as before.
Characters greater than 0xff have only one case, and no "type" (such as letter
or digit).
</P>
<P>
In UTF-16 mode, the character code is Unicode, in the range 0 to 0x10ffff, with
the exception of values in the range 0xd800 to 0xdfff because those are
"surrogate" values that are used in pairs to encode values greater than 0xffff.
</P>
<P>
A UTF-16 string can indicate its endianness by special code knows as a
byte-order mark (BOM). The PCRE functions do not handle this, expecting strings
to be in host byte order. A utility function called
<b>pcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()</b> is provided to help with this (see
above).
</P>
<br><a name="SEC16" href="#TOC1">ERROR NAMES</a><br>
<P>
The errors PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF16_OFFSET and PCRE_ERROR_SHORTUTF16 correspond to
their 8-bit counterparts. The error PCRE_ERROR_BADMODE is given when a compiled
pattern is passed to a function that processes patterns in the other
mode, for example, if a pattern compiled with <b>pcre_compile()</b> is passed to
<b>pcre16_exec()</b>.
</P>
<P>
There are new error codes whose names begin with PCRE_UTF16_ERR for invalid
UTF-16 strings, corresponding to the PCRE_UTF8_ERR codes for UTF-8 strings that
are described in the section entitled
<a href="pcreapi.html#badutf8reasons">"Reason codes for invalid UTF-8 strings"</a>
in the main
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
page. The UTF-16 errors are:
<pre>
PCRE_UTF16_ERR1 Missing low surrogate at end of string
PCRE_UTF16_ERR2 Invalid low surrogate follows high surrogate
PCRE_UTF16_ERR3 Isolated low surrogate
PCRE_UTF16_ERR4 Non-character
</PRE>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC17" href="#TOC1">ERROR TEXTS</a><br>
<P>
If there is an error while compiling a pattern, the error text that is passed
back by <b>pcre16_compile()</b> or <b>pcre16_compile2()</b> is still an 8-bit
character string, zero-terminated.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC18" href="#TOC1">CALLOUTS</a><br>
<P>
The <i>subject</i> and <i>mark</i> fields in the callout block that is passed to
a callout function point to 16-bit vectors.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC19" href="#TOC1">TESTING</a><br>
<P>
The <b>pcretest</b> program continues to operate with 8-bit input and output
files, but it can be used for testing the 16-bit library. If it is run with the
command line option <b>-16</b>, patterns and subject strings are converted from
8-bit to 16-bit before being passed to PCRE, and the 16-bit library functions
are used instead of the 8-bit ones. Returned 16-bit strings are converted to
8-bit for output. If both the 8-bit and the 32-bit libraries were not compiled,
<b>pcretest</b> defaults to 16-bit and the <b>-16</b> option is ignored.
</P>
<P>
When PCRE is being built, the <b>RunTest</b> script that is called by "make
check" uses the <b>pcretest</b> <b>-C</b> option to discover which of the 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit libraries has been built, and runs the tests appropriately.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC20" href="#TOC1">NOT SUPPORTED IN 16-BIT MODE</a><br>
<P>
Not all the features of the 8-bit library are available with the 16-bit
library. The C++ and POSIX wrapper functions support only the 8-bit library,
and the <b>pcregrep</b> program is at present 8-bit only.

<P>
Starting with release 8.32, it is possible to compile a PCRE library that
supports 32-bit character strings, including UTF-32 strings, as well as or
instead of the original 8-bit library. This work was done by Christian Persch,
based on the work done by Zoltan Herczeg for the 16-bit library. All three
libraries contain identical sets of functions, used in exactly the same way.
Only the names of the functions and the data types of their arguments and
results are different. To avoid over-complication and reduce the documentation
maintenance load, most of the PCRE documentation describes the 8-bit library,
with only occasional references to the 16-bit and 32-bit libraries. This page

very many environments, "unsigned int" is a 32-bit data type. When PCRE is
built, it defines PCRE_UCHAR32 as "unsigned int", but checks that it really is
a 32-bit data type. If it is not, the build fails with an error message telling
the maintainer to modify the definition appropriately.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC1">STRUCTURE TYPES</a><br>
<P>
The types of the opaque structures that are used for compiled 32-bit patterns
and JIT stacks are <b>pcre32</b> and <b>pcre32_jit_stack</b> respectively. The
type of the user-accessible structure that is returned by <b>pcre32_study()</b>
is <b>pcre32_extra</b>, and the type of the structure that is used for passing
data to a callout function is <b>pcre32_callout_block</b>. These structures
contain the same fields, with the same names, as their 8-bit counterparts. The
only difference is that pointers to character strings are 32-bit instead of
8-bit types.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC11" href="#TOC1">32-BIT FUNCTIONS</a><br>
<P>
For every function in the 8-bit library there is a corresponding function in
the 32-bit library with a name that starts with <b>pcre32_</b> instead of
<b>pcre_</b>. The prototypes are listed above. In addition, there is one extra
function, <b>pcre32_utf32_to_host_byte_order()</b>. This is a utility function
that converts a UTF-32 character string to host byte order if necessary. The
other 32-bit functions expect the strings they are passed to be in host byte
order.
</P>
<P>
The <i>input</i> and <i>output</i> arguments of
<b>pcre32_utf32_to_host_byte_order()</b> may point to the same address, that is,
conversion in place is supported. The output buffer must be at least as long as
the input.
</P>
<P>
The <i>length</i> argument specifies the number of 32-bit data units in the
input string; a negative value specifies a zero-terminated string.
</P>
<P>
If <i>byte_order</i> is NULL, it is assumed that the string starts off in host
byte order. This may be changed by byte-order marks (BOMs) anywhere in the
string (commonly as the first character).
</P>
<P>
If <i>byte_order</i> is not NULL, a non-zero value of the integer to which it
points means that the input starts off in host byte order, otherwise the
opposite order is assumed. Again, BOMs in the string can change this. The final
byte order is passed back at the end of processing.
</P>
<P>
If <i>keep_boms</i> is not zero, byte-order mark characters (0xfeff) are copied
into the output string. Otherwise they are discarded.
</P>
<P>
The result of the function is the number of 32-bit units placed into the output
buffer, including the zero terminator if the string was zero-terminated.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC12" href="#TOC1">SUBJECT STRING OFFSETS</a><br>
<P>
The lengths and starting offsets of subject strings must be specified in 32-bit
data units, and the offsets within subject strings that are returned by the
matching functions are in also 32-bit units rather than bytes.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC13" href="#TOC1">NAMED SUBPATTERNS</a><br>
<P>
The name-to-number translation table that is maintained for named subpatterns
uses 32-bit characters. The <b>pcre32_get_stringtable_entries()</b> function
returns the length of each entry in the table as the number of 32-bit data
units.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC14" href="#TOC1">OPTION NAMES</a><br>
<P>
There are two new general option names, PCRE_UTF32 and PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK,
which correspond to PCRE_UTF8 and PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK in the 8-bit library. In
fact, these new options define the same bits in the options word. There is a
discussion about the
<a href="pcreunicode.html#utf32strings">validity of UTF-32 strings</a>
in the
<a href="pcreunicode.html"><b>pcreunicode</b></a>
page.
</P>
<P>
For the <b>pcre32_config()</b> function there is an option PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32
that returns 1 if UTF-32 support is configured, otherwise 0. If this option is
given to <b>pcre_config()</b> or <b>pcre16_config()</b>, or if the
PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16 option is given to <b>pcre32_config()</b>,
the result is the PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION error.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC15" href="#TOC1">CHARACTER CODES</a><br>
<P>
In 32-bit mode, when PCRE_UTF32 is not set, character values are treated in the
same way as in 8-bit, non UTF-8 mode, except, of course, that they can range
from 0 to 0x7fffffff instead of 0 to 0xff. Character types for characters less
than 0xff can therefore be influenced by the locale in the same way as before.
Characters greater than 0xff have only one case, and no "type" (such as letter
or digit).
</P>
<P>
In UTF-32 mode, the character code is Unicode, in the range 0 to 0x10ffff, with
the exception of values in the range 0xd800 to 0xdfff because those are
"surrogate" values that are ill-formed in UTF-32.
</P>
<P>
A UTF-32 string can indicate its endianness by special code knows as a
byte-order mark (BOM). The PCRE functions do not handle this, expecting strings
to be in host byte order. A utility function called
<b>pcre32_utf32_to_host_byte_order()</b> is provided to help with this (see
above).
</P>
<br><a name="SEC16" href="#TOC1">ERROR NAMES</a><br>
<P>
The error PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF32 corresponds to its 8-bit counterpart.
The error PCRE_ERROR_BADMODE is given when a compiled
pattern is passed to a function that processes patterns in the other
mode, for example, if a pattern compiled with <b>pcre_compile()</b> is passed to
<b>pcre32_exec()</b>.
</P>
<P>
There are new error codes whose names begin with PCRE_UTF32_ERR for invalid
UTF-32 strings, corresponding to the PCRE_UTF8_ERR codes for UTF-8 strings that
are described in the section entitled
<a href="pcreapi.html#badutf8reasons">"Reason codes for invalid UTF-8 strings"</a>
in the main
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
page. The UTF-32 errors are:
<pre>
PCRE_UTF32_ERR1 Surrogate character (range from 0xd800 to 0xdfff)
PCRE_UTF32_ERR2 Non-character
PCRE_UTF32_ERR3 Character &#62; 0x10ffff
</PRE>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC17" href="#TOC1">ERROR TEXTS</a><br>
<P>
If there is an error while compiling a pattern, the error text that is passed
back by <b>pcre32_compile()</b> or <b>pcre32_compile2()</b> is still an 8-bit
character string, zero-terminated.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC18" href="#TOC1">CALLOUTS</a><br>
<P>
The <i>subject</i> and <i>mark</i> fields in the callout block that is passed to
a callout function point to 32-bit vectors.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC19" href="#TOC1">TESTING</a><br>
<P>
The <b>pcretest</b> program continues to operate with 8-bit input and output
files, but it can be used for testing the 32-bit library. If it is run with the
command line option <b>-32</b>, patterns and subject strings are converted from
8-bit to 32-bit before being passed to PCRE, and the 32-bit library functions
are used instead of the 8-bit ones. Returned 32-bit strings are converted to
8-bit for output. If both the 8-bit and the 16-bit libraries were not compiled,
<b>pcretest</b> defaults to 32-bit and the <b>-32</b> option is ignored.
</P>
<P>
When PCRE is being built, the <b>RunTest</b> script that is called by "make
check" uses the <b>pcretest</b> <b>-C</b> option to discover which of the 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit libraries has been built, and runs the tests appropriately.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC20" href="#TOC1">NOT SUPPORTED IN 32-BIT MODE</a><br>
<P>
Not all the features of the 8-bit library are available with the 32-bit
library. The C++ and POSIX wrapper functions support only the 8-bit library,
and the <b>pcregrep</b> program is at present 8-bit only.

DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This function provides control over the memory used as a stack at run-time by a
call to <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> with a pattern that has been successfully
compiled with JIT optimization. The arguments are:
<pre>
extra the data pointer returned by <b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b>
callback a callback function
data a JIT stack or a value to be passed to the callback
function
</PRE>
</P>
<P>
If <i>callback</i> is NULL and <i>data</i> is NULL, an internal 32K block on
the machine stack is used.
</P>
<P>
If <i>callback</i> is NULL and <i>data</i> is not NULL, <i>data</i> must
be a valid JIT stack, the result of calling <b>pcre[16|32]_jit_stack_alloc()</b>.
</P>
<P>
If <i>callback</i> not NULL, it is called with <i>data</i> 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 <b>pcre[16|32]_jit_stack_alloc()</b>.
</P>
<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
<a href="pcrejit.html"><b>pcrejit</b></a>

DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This function makes it possible for a client program to find out which optional
features are available in the version of the PCRE library it is using. The
arguments are as follows:
<pre>
<i>what</i> A code specifying what information is required
<i>where</i> Points to where to put the data
</pre>
The <i>where</i> argument must point to an integer variable, except for
PCRE_CONFIG_MATCH_LIMIT, PCRE_CONFIG_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION, and
PCRE_CONFIG_PARENS_LIMIT, when it must point to an unsigned long integer,
and for PCRE_CONFIG_JITTARGET, when it must point to a const char*.
The available codes are:
<pre>
PCRE_CONFIG_JIT Availability of just-in-time compiler
support (1=yes 0=no)
PCRE_CONFIG_JITTARGET String containing information about the
target architecture for the JIT compiler,
or NULL if there is no JIT support
PCRE_CONFIG_LINK_SIZE Internal link size: 2, 3, or 4
PCRE_CONFIG_PARENS_LIMIT Parentheses nesting limit
PCRE_CONFIG_MATCH_LIMIT Internal resource limit
PCRE_CONFIG_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION
Internal recursion depth limit
PCRE_CONFIG_NEWLINE Value of the default newline sequence:
13 (0x000d) for CR
10 (0x000a) for LF
3338 (0x0d0a) for CRLF
-2 for ANYCRLF
-1 for ANY
PCRE_CONFIG_BSR Indicates what \R matches by default:
0 all Unicode line endings
1 CR, LF, or CRLF only
PCRE_CONFIG_POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD
Threshold of return slots, above which
<b>malloc()</b> is used by the POSIX API
PCRE_CONFIG_STACKRECURSE Recursion implementation (1=stack 0=heap)
PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16 Availability of UTF-16 support (1=yes
0=no); option for <b>pcre16_config()</b>
PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32 Availability of UTF-32 support (1=yes
0=no); option for <b>pcre32_config()</b>
PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 Availability of UTF-8 support (1=yes 0=no);
option for <b>pcre_config()</b>
PCRE_CONFIG_UNICODE_PROPERTIES
Availability of Unicode property support
(1=yes 0=no)
</pre>
The function yields 0 on success or PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION otherwise. That error
is also given if PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32 is passed to
<b>pcre_config()</b>, if PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32 is passed to
<b>pcre16_config()</b>, or if PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16 is passed to

DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This function matches a compiled regular expression against a given subject
string, using an alternative matching algorithm that scans the subject string
just once (<i>not</i> Perl-compatible). Note that the main, Perl-compatible,
matching function is <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>. The arguments for this function
are:
<pre>

<i>ovector</i> Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
<i>ovecsize</i> Number of elements in the vector
<i>workspace</i> Points to a vector of ints used as working space
<i>wscount</i> Number of elements in the vector
</pre>
The units for <i>length</i> and <i>startoffset</i> are bytes for
<b>pcre_exec()</b>, 16-bit data items for <b>pcre16_exec()</b>, and 32-bit items
for <b>pcre32_exec()</b>. The options are:

PCRE_PARTIAL ) Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT ) match if no full matches are found
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
even if there is a full match as well
PCRE_DFA_SHORTEST Return only the shortest match
PCRE_DFA_RESTART Restart after a partial match
</pre>
There are restrictions on what may appear in a pattern when using this matching
function. Details are given in the
<a href="pcrematching.html"><b>pcrematching</b></a>
documentation. For details of partial matching, see the
<a href="pcrepartial.html"><b>pcrepartial</b></a>
page.
</P>
<P>
A <b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b> structure contains the following fields:
<pre>
<i>flags</i> Bits indicating which fields are set
<i>study_data</i> Opaque data from <b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b>
<i>match_limit</i> Limit on internal resource use
<i>match_limit_recursion</i> Limit on internal recursion depth
<i>callout_data</i> Opaque data passed back to callouts

DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This is a convenience function for extracting a captured substring by name. The
arguments are:
<pre>

<i>subject</i> Subject that has been successfully matched
<i>ovector</i> Offset vector that <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> used
<i>stringcount</i> Value returned by <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>
<i>stringname</i> Name of the required substring
<i>stringptr</i> Where to put the string pointer
</pre>
The memory in which the substring is placed is obtained by calling
<b>pcre[16|32]_malloc()</b>. The convenience function
<b>pcre[16|32]_free_substring()</b> can be used to free it when it is no longer
needed. The yield of the function is the length of the extracted substring,
PCRE_ERROR_NOMEMORY if sufficient memory could not be obtained, or
PCRE_ERROR_NOSUBSTRING if the string name is invalid.

<P>
This convenience function finds, for a compiled pattern, the first and last
entries for a given name in the table that translates capturing parenthesis
names into numbers. When names are required to be unique (PCRE_DUPNAMES is

<br><b>
DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This function matches a compiled regular expression that has been successfully
studied with one of the JIT options against a given subject string, using a
matching algorithm that is similar to Perl's. It is a "fast path" interface to
JIT, and it bypasses some of the sanity checks that <b>pcre_exec()</b> applies.
It returns offsets to captured substrings. Its arguments are:
<pre>
<i>code</i> Points to the compiled pattern
<i>extra</i> Points to an associated <b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b> structure,
or is NULL
<i>subject</i> Points to the subject string
<i>length</i> Length of the subject string, in bytes
<i>startoffset</i> Offset in bytes in the subject at which to
start matching
<i>options</i> Option bits
<i>ovector</i> Points to a vector of ints for result offsets
<i>ovecsize</i> Number of elements in the vector (a multiple of 3)
<i>jstack</i> Pointer to a JIT stack
</pre>
The allowed options are:
<pre>
PCRE_NOTBOL Subject string is not the beginning of a line
PCRE_NOTEOL Subject string is not the end of a line
PCRE_NOTEMPTY An empty string is not a valid match
PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART An empty string at the start of the subject
is not a valid match
PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-16
validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF16
was set at compile time)
PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-32
validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF32
was set at compile time)
PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the subject for UTF-8
validity (only relevant if PCRE_UTF8
was set at compile time)
PCRE_PARTIAL ) Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT ) match if no full matches are found
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD Return PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL for a partial match
if that is found before a full match
</pre>
However, the PCRE_NO_UTF[8|16|32]_CHECK options have no effect, as this check
is never applied. For details of partial matching, see the
<a href="pcrepartial.html"><b>pcrepartial</b></a>
page. A <b>pcre_extra</b> structure contains the following fields:
<pre>
<i>flags</i> Bits indicating which fields are set
<i>study_data</i> Opaque data from <b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b>
<i>match_limit</i> Limit on internal resource use
<i>match_limit_recursion</i> Limit on internal recursion depth
<i>callout_data</i> Opaque data passed back to callouts
<i>tables</i> Points to character tables or is NULL
<i>mark</i> For passing back a *MARK pointer
<i>executable_jit</i> Opaque data from JIT compilation
</pre>
The flag bits are PCRE_EXTRA_STUDY_DATA, PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT,
PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION, PCRE_EXTRA_CALLOUT_DATA,
PCRE_EXTRA_TABLES, PCRE_EXTRA_MARK and PCRE_EXTRA_EXECUTABLE_JIT.

function can set up a callback for obtaining a stack. A maximum stack size of
512K to 1M should be more than enough for any pattern. For more details, see

DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This function studies a compiled pattern, to see if additional information can
be extracted that might speed up matching. Its arguments are:
<pre>
<i>code</i> A compiled regular expression
<i>options</i> Options for <b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b>
<i>errptr</i> Where to put an error message
</pre>
If the function succeeds, it returns a value that can be passed to
<b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b> via their <i>extra</i>
arguments.
</P>
<P>
If the function returns NULL, either it could not find any additional
information, or there was an error. You can tell the difference by looking at
the error value. It is NULL in first case.
</P>
<P>
The only option is PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE. It requests just-in-time compilation
if possible. If PCRE has been compiled without JIT support, this option is
ignored. See the
<a href="pcrejit.html"><b>pcrejit</b></a>
page for further details.

<P>
PCRE is distributed with a <b>configure</b> script that can be used to build the
library in Unix-like environments using the applications known as Autotools.
Also in the distribution are files to support building using <b>CMake</b>
instead of <b>configure</b>. The text file
<a href="README.txt"><b>README</b></a>
contains general information about building with Autotools (some of which is
repeated below), and also has some comments about building on various operating
systems. There is a lot more information about building PCRE without using
Autotools (including information about using <b>CMake</b> and building "by
hand") in the text file called
<a href="NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD.txt"><b>NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD</b>.</a>
You should consult this file as well as the
<a href="README.txt"><b>README</b></a>
file if you are building in a non-Unix-like environment.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">PCRE BUILD-TIME OPTIONS</a><br>
<P>
The rest of this document describes the optional features of PCRE that can be
selected when the library is compiled. It assumes use of the <b>configure</b>
script, where the optional features are selected or deselected by providing
options to <b>configure</b> before running the <b>make</b> command. However, the
same options can be selected in both Unix-like and non-Unix-like environments
using the GUI facility of <b>cmake-gui</b> if you are using <b>CMake</b> instead
of <b>configure</b> to build PCRE.
</P>
<P>
If you are not using Autotools or <b>CMake</b>, option selection can be done by
editing the <b>config.h</b> file, or by passing parameter settings to the
compiler, as described in
<a href="NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD.txt"><b>NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD</b>.</a>
</P>
<P>
The complete list of options for <b>configure</b> (which includes the standard
ones such as the selection of the installation directory) can be obtained by
running
<pre>
./configure --help
</pre>
The following sections include descriptions of options whose names begin with
--enable or --disable. These settings specify changes to the defaults for the
<b>configure</b> command. Because of the way that <b>configure</b> works,
--enable and --disable always come in pairs, so the complementary option always
exists as well, but as it specifies the default, it is not described.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">BUILDING 8-BIT, 16-BIT AND 32-BIT LIBRARIES</a><br>
<P>
By default, a library called <b>libpcre</b> is built, containing functions that
take string arguments contained in vectors of bytes, either as single-byte
characters, or interpreted as UTF-8 strings. You can also build a separate
library, called <b>libpcre16</b>, in which strings are contained in vectors of
16-bit data units and interpreted either as single-unit characters or UTF-16
strings, by adding
<pre>
--enable-pcre16
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. You can also build yet another separate
library, called <b>libpcre32</b>, in which strings are contained in vectors of
32-bit data units and interpreted either as single-unit characters or UTF-32
strings, by adding
<pre>
--enable-pcre32
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. If you do not want the 8-bit library, add
<pre>
--disable-pcre8
</pre>
as well. At least one of the three libraries must be built. Note that the C++
and POSIX wrappers are for the 8-bit library only, and that <b>pcregrep</b> is
an 8-bit program. None of these are built if you select only the 16-bit or
32-bit libraries.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">BUILDING SHARED AND STATIC LIBRARIES</a><br>
<P>
The Autotools PCRE building process uses <b>libtool</b> to build both shared and
static libraries by default. You can suppress one of these by adding one of
<pre>
--disable-shared
--disable-static
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command, as required.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">C++ SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
By default, if the 8-bit library is being built, the <b>configure</b> script
will search for a C++ compiler and C++ header files. If it finds them, it
automatically builds the C++ wrapper library (which supports only 8-bit
strings). You can disable this by adding
<pre>
--disable-cpp
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">UTF-8, UTF-16 AND UTF-32 SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
To build PCRE with support for UTF Unicode character strings, add
<pre>
--enable-utf
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. This setting applies to all three libraries,
adding support for UTF-8 to the 8-bit library, support for UTF-16 to the 16-bit
library, and support for UTF-32 to the to the 32-bit library. There are no
separate options for enabling UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 independently because
that would allow ridiculous settings such as requesting UTF-16 support while
building only the 8-bit library. It is not possible to build one library with
UTF support and another without in the same configuration. (For backwards
compatibility, --enable-utf8 is a synonym of --enable-utf.)
</P>
<P>
Of itself, this setting does not make PCRE treat strings as UTF-8, UTF-16 or
UTF-32. As well as compiling PCRE with this option, you also have have to set
the PCRE_UTF8, PCRE_UTF16 or PCRE_UTF32 option (as appropriate) when you call
one of the pattern compiling functions.
</P>
<P>
If you set --enable-utf when compiling in an EBCDIC environment, PCRE expects
its input to be either ASCII or UTF-8 (depending on the run-time option). It is
not possible to support both EBCDIC and UTF-8 codes in the same version of the
library. Consequently, --enable-utf and --enable-ebcdic are mutually
exclusive.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">UNICODE CHARACTER PROPERTY SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
UTF support allows the libraries to process character codepoints up to 0x10ffff
in the strings that they handle. On its own, however, it does not provide any
facilities for accessing the properties of such characters. If you want to be
able to use the pattern escapes \P, \p, and \X, which refer to Unicode
character properties, you must add
<pre>
--enable-unicode-properties
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. This implies UTF support, even if you have
not explicitly requested it.
</P>
<P>
Including Unicode property support adds around 30K of tables to the PCRE
library. Only the general category properties such as <i>Lu</i> and <i>Nd</i> are
supported. Details are given in the
<a href="pcrepattern.html"><b>pcrepattern</b></a>
documentation.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">JUST-IN-TIME COMPILER SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
Just-in-time compiler support is included in the build by specifying
<pre>
--enable-jit
</pre>
This support is available only for certain hardware architectures. If this
option is set for an unsupported architecture, a compile time error occurs.
See the
<a href="pcrejit.html"><b>pcrejit</b></a>
documentation for a discussion of JIT usage. When JIT support is enabled,
pcregrep automatically makes use of it, unless you add
<pre>
--disable-pcregrep-jit
</pre>
to the "configure" command.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">CODE VALUE OF NEWLINE</a><br>
<P>
By default, PCRE interprets the linefeed (LF) character as indicating the end
of a line. This is the normal newline character on Unix-like systems. You can
compile PCRE to use carriage return (CR) instead, by adding
<pre>
--enable-newline-is-cr
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. There is also a --enable-newline-is-lf option,
which explicitly specifies linefeed as the newline character.
<br>
<br>
Alternatively, you can specify that line endings are to be indicated by the two
character sequence CRLF. If you want this, add
<pre>
--enable-newline-is-crlf
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. There is a fourth option, specified by
<pre>
--enable-newline-is-anycrlf
</pre>
which causes PCRE to recognize any of the three sequences CR, LF, or CRLF as
indicating a line ending. Finally, a fifth option, specified by
<pre>
--enable-newline-is-any
</pre>
causes PCRE to recognize any Unicode newline sequence.
</P>
<P>
Whatever line ending convention is selected when PCRE is built can be
overridden when the library functions are called. At build time it is
conventional to use the standard for your operating system.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC1">WHAT \R MATCHES</a><br>
<P>
By default, the sequence \R in a pattern matches any Unicode newline sequence,
whatever has been selected as the line ending sequence. If you specify
<pre>
--enable-bsr-anycrlf
</pre>
the default is changed so that \R matches only CR, LF, or CRLF. Whatever is
selected when PCRE is built can be overridden when the library functions are
called.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC11" href="#TOC1">POSIX MALLOC USAGE</a><br>
<P>
When the 8-bit library is called through the POSIX interface (see the
<a href="pcreposix.html"><b>pcreposix</b></a>
documentation), additional working storage is required for holding the pointers
to capturing substrings, because PCRE requires three integers per substring,
whereas the POSIX interface provides only two. If the number of expected
substrings is small, the wrapper function uses space on the stack, because this
is faster than using <b>malloc()</b> for each call. The default threshold above
which the stack is no longer used is 10; it can be changed by adding a setting
such as
<pre>
--with-posix-malloc-threshold=20
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC12" href="#TOC1">HANDLING VERY LARGE PATTERNS</a><br>
<P>
Within a compiled pattern, offset values are used to point from one part to
another (for example, from an opening parenthesis to an alternation
metacharacter). By default, in the 8-bit and 16-bit libraries, two-byte values
are used for these offsets, leading to a maximum size for a compiled pattern of
around 64K. This is sufficient to handle all but the most gigantic patterns.
Nevertheless, some people do want to process truly enormous patterns, so it is
possible to compile PCRE to use three-byte or four-byte offsets by adding a
setting such as
<pre>
--with-link-size=3
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. The value given must be 2, 3, or 4. For the
16-bit library, a value of 3 is rounded up to 4. In these libraries, using
longer offsets slows down the operation of PCRE because it has to load
additional data when handling them. For the 32-bit library the value is always
4 and cannot be overridden; the value of --with-link-size is ignored.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC13" href="#TOC1">AVOIDING EXCESSIVE STACK USAGE</a><br>
<P>
When matching with the <b>pcre_exec()</b> function, PCRE implements backtracking
by making recursive calls to an internal function called <b>match()</b>. In
environments where the size of the stack is limited, this can severely limit
PCRE's operation. (The Unix environment does not usually suffer from this
problem, but it may sometimes be necessary to increase the maximum stack size.
There is a discussion in the
<a href="pcrestack.html"><b>pcrestack</b></a>
documentation.) An alternative approach to recursion that uses memory from the
heap to remember data, instead of using recursive function calls, has been
implemented to work round the problem of limited stack size. If you want to
build a version of PCRE that works this way, add
<pre>
--disable-stack-for-recursion
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. With this configuration, PCRE will use the
<b>pcre_stack_malloc</b> and <b>pcre_stack_free</b> variables to call memory
management functions. By default these point to <b>malloc()</b> and
<b>free()</b>, but you can replace the pointers so that your own functions are
used instead.
</P>
<P>
Separate functions are provided rather than using <b>pcre_malloc</b> and
<b>pcre_free</b> because the usage is very predictable: the block sizes
requested are always the same, and the blocks are always freed in reverse
order. A calling program might be able to implement optimized functions that
perform better than <b>malloc()</b> and <b>free()</b>. PCRE runs noticeably more
slowly when built in this way. This option affects only the <b>pcre_exec()</b>
function; it is not relevant for <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC14" href="#TOC1">LIMITING PCRE RESOURCE USAGE</a><br>
<P>
Internally, PCRE has a function called <b>match()</b>, which it calls repeatedly
(sometimes recursively) when matching a pattern with the <b>pcre_exec()</b>
function. By controlling the maximum number of times this function may be
called during a single matching operation, a limit can be placed on the
resources used by a single call to <b>pcre_exec()</b>. The limit can be changed
at run time, as described in the
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
documentation. The default is 10 million, but this can be changed by adding a
setting such as
<pre>
--with-match-limit=500000
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. This setting has no effect on the
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> matching function.
</P>
<P>
In some environments it is desirable to limit the depth of recursive calls of
<b>match()</b> more strictly than the total number of calls, in order to
restrict the maximum amount of stack (or heap, if --disable-stack-for-recursion
is specified) that is used. A second limit controls this; it defaults to the
value that is set for --with-match-limit, which imposes no additional
constraints. However, you can set a lower limit by adding, for example,
<pre>
--with-match-limit-recursion=10000
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. This value can also be overridden at run time.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC15" href="#TOC1">CREATING CHARACTER TABLES AT BUILD TIME</a><br>
<P>
PCRE uses fixed tables for processing characters whose code values are less
than 256. By default, PCRE is built with a set of tables that are distributed
in the file <i>pcre_chartables.c.dist</i>. These tables are for ASCII codes
only. If you add
<pre>
--enable-rebuild-chartables
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command, the distributed tables are no longer used.
Instead, a program called <b>dftables</b> is compiled and run. This outputs the
source for new set of tables, created in the default locale of your C run-time
system. (This method of replacing the tables does not work if you are cross
compiling, because <b>dftables</b> is run on the local host. If you need to
create alternative tables when cross compiling, you will have to do so "by
hand".)
</P>
<br><a name="SEC16" href="#TOC1">USING EBCDIC CODE</a><br>
<P>
PCRE assumes by default that it will run in an environment where the character
code is ASCII (or Unicode, which is a superset of ASCII). This is the case for
most computer operating systems. PCRE can, however, be compiled to run in an
EBCDIC environment by adding
<pre>
--enable-ebcdic
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. This setting implies
--enable-rebuild-chartables. You should only use it if you know that you are in
an EBCDIC environment (for example, an IBM mainframe operating system). The
--enable-ebcdic option is incompatible with --enable-utf.
</P>
<P>
The EBCDIC character that corresponds to an ASCII LF is assumed to have the
value 0x15 by default. However, in some EBCDIC environments, 0x25 is used. In
such an environment you should use
<pre>
--enable-ebcdic-nl25
</pre>
as well as, or instead of, --enable-ebcdic. The EBCDIC character for CR has the
same value as in ASCII, namely, 0x0d. Whichever of 0x15 and 0x25 is <i>not</i>
chosen as LF is made to correspond to the Unicode NEL character (which, in
Unicode, is 0x85).
</P>
<P>
The options that select newline behaviour, such as --enable-newline-is-cr,
and equivalent run-time options, refer to these character values in an EBCDIC
environment.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC17" href="#TOC1">PCREGREP OPTIONS FOR COMPRESSED FILE SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
By default, <b>pcregrep</b> reads all files as plain text. You can build it so
that it recognizes files whose names end in <b>.gz</b> or <b>.bz2</b>, and reads
them with <b>libz</b> or <b>libbz2</b>, respectively, by adding one or both of
<pre>
--enable-pcregrep-libz
--enable-pcregrep-libbz2
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. These options naturally require that the
relevant libraries are installed on your system. Configuration will fail if
they are not.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC18" href="#TOC1">PCREGREP BUFFER SIZE</a><br>
<P>
<b>pcregrep</b> uses an internal buffer to hold a "window" on the file it is
scanning, in order to be able to output "before" and "after" lines when it
finds a match. The size of the buffer is controlled by a parameter whose
default value is 20K. The buffer itself is three times this size, but because
of the way it is used for holding "before" lines, the longest line that is
guaranteed to be processable is the parameter size. You can change the default
parameter value by adding, for example,
<pre>
--with-pcregrep-bufsize=50K
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command. The caller of \fPpcregrep\fP can, however,
override this value by specifying a run-time option.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC19" href="#TOC1">PCRETEST OPTION FOR LIBREADLINE SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
If you add
<pre>
--enable-pcretest-libreadline
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command, <b>pcretest</b> is linked with the
<b>libreadline</b> library, and when its input is from a terminal, it reads it
using the <b>readline()</b> function. This provides line-editing and history
facilities. Note that <b>libreadline</b> is GPL-licensed, so if you distribute a
binary of <b>pcretest</b> linked in this way, there may be licensing issues.
</P>
<P>
Setting this option causes the <b>-lreadline</b> option to be added to the
<b>pcretest</b> build. In many operating environments with a sytem-installed
<b>libreadline</b> this is sufficient. However, in some environments (e.g.
if an unmodified distribution version of readline is in use), some extra
configuration may be necessary. The INSTALL file for <b>libreadline</b> says
this:
<pre>
"Readline uses the termcap functions, but does not link with the
termcap or curses library itself, allowing applications which link
with readline the to choose an appropriate library."
</pre>
If your environment has not been set up so that an appropriate library is
automatically included, you may need to add something like
<pre>
LIBS="-ncurses"
</pre>
immediately before the <b>configure</b> command.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC20" href="#TOC1">DEBUGGING WITH VALGRIND SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
By adding the
<pre>
--enable-valgrind
</pre>
option to to the <b>configure</b> command, PCRE will use valgrind annotations
to mark certain memory regions as unaddressable. This allows it to detect
invalid memory accesses, and is mostly useful for debugging PCRE itself.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC21" href="#TOC1">CODE COVERAGE REPORTING</a><br>
<P>
If your C compiler is gcc, you can build a version of PCRE that can generate a
code coverage report for its test suite. To enable this, you must install
<b>lcov</b> version 1.6 or above. Then specify
<pre>
--enable-coverage
</pre>
to the <b>configure</b> command and build PCRE in the usual way.
</P>
<P>
Note that using <b>ccache</b> (a caching C compiler) is incompatible with code
coverage reporting. If you have configured <b>ccache</b> to run automatically
on your system, you must set the environment variable
<pre>
CCACHE_DISABLE=1
</pre>
before running <b>make</b> to build PCRE, so that <b>ccache</b> is not used.
</P>
<P>
When --enable-coverage is used, the following addition targets are added to the
<i>Makefile</i>:
<pre>
make coverage
</pre>
This creates a fresh coverage report for the PCRE test suite. It is equivalent
to running "make coverage-reset", "make coverage-baseline", "make check", and
then "make coverage-report".
<pre>
make coverage-reset
</pre>
This zeroes the coverage counters, but does nothing else.
<pre>
make coverage-baseline
</pre>
This captures baseline coverage information.
<pre>
make coverage-report
</pre>
This creates the coverage report.
<pre>
make coverage-clean-report
</pre>
This removes the generated coverage report without cleaning the coverage data
itself.
<pre>
make coverage-clean-data
</pre>
This removes the captured coverage data without removing the coverage files
created at compile time (*.gcno).
<pre>
make coverage-clean
</pre>
This cleans all coverage data including the generated coverage report. For more
information about code coverage, see the <b>gcov</b> and <b>lcov</b>
documentation.

<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">DESCRIPTION</a><br>
<P>
PCRE provides a feature called "callout", which is a means of temporarily
passing control to the caller of PCRE in the middle of pattern matching. The
caller of PCRE provides an external function by putting its entry point in the
global variable <i>pcre_callout</i> (<i>pcre16_callout</i> for the 16-bit
library, <i>pcre32_callout</i> for the 32-bit library). By default, this
variable contains NULL, which disables all calling out.
</P>
<P>
Within a regular expression, (?C) indicates the points at which the external
function is to be called. Different callout points can be identified by putting
a number less than 256 after the letter C. The default value is zero.
For example, this pattern has two callout points:
<pre>
(?C1)abc(?C2)def
</pre>
If the PCRE_AUTO_CALLOUT option bit is set when a pattern is compiled, PCRE
automatically inserts callouts, all with number 255, before each item in the
pattern. For example, if PCRE_AUTO_CALLOUT is used with the pattern
<pre>
A(\d{2}|--)
</pre>
it is processed as if it were
<br>
<br>
(?C255)A(?C255)((?C255)\d{2}(?C255)|(?C255)-(?C255)-(?C255))(?C255)
<br>
<br>
Notice that there is a callout before and after each parenthesis and
alternation bar. If the pattern contains a conditional group whose condition is
an assertion, an automatic callout is inserted immediately before the
condition. Such a callout may also be inserted explicitly, for example:
<pre>
(?(?C9)(?=a)ab|de)
</pre>
This applies only to assertion conditions (because they are themselves
independent groups).
</P>
<P>
Automatic callouts can be used for tracking the progress of pattern matching.
The
<a href="pcretest.html"><b>pcretest</b></a>
program has a pattern qualifier (/C) that sets automatic callouts; when it is
used, the output indicates how the pattern is being matched. This is useful
information when you are trying to optimize the performance of a particular
pattern.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">MISSING CALLOUTS</a><br>
<P>
You should be aware that, because of optimizations in the way PCRE compiles and
matches patterns, callouts sometimes do not happen exactly as you might expect.
</P>
<P>
At compile time, PCRE "auto-possessifies" repeated items when it knows that
what follows cannot be part of the repeat. For example, a+[bc] is compiled as
if it were a++[bc]. The <b>pcretest</b> output when this pattern is anchored and
then applied with automatic callouts to the string "aaaa" is:
<pre>
---&#62;aaaa
+0 ^ ^
+1 ^ a+
+3 ^ ^ [bc]
No match
</pre>
This indicates that when matching [bc] fails, there is no backtracking into a+
and therefore the callouts that would be taken for the backtracks do not occur.
You can disable the auto-possessify feature by passing PCRE_NO_AUTO_POSSESS
to <b>pcre_compile()</b>, or starting the pattern with (*NO_AUTO_POSSESS). If
this is done in <b>pcretest</b> (using the /O qualifier), the output changes to
this:
<pre>
---&#62;aaaa
+0 ^ ^
+1 ^ a+
+3 ^ ^ [bc]
+3 ^ ^ [bc]
+3 ^ ^ [bc]
+3 ^^ [bc]
No match
</pre>
This time, when matching [bc] fails, the matcher backtracks into a+ and tries
again, repeatedly, until a+ itself fails.
</P>
<P>
Other optimizations that provide fast "no match" results also affect callouts.
For example, if the pattern is
<pre>
ab(?C4)cd
</pre>
PCRE knows that any matching string must contain the letter "d". If the subject
string is "abyz", the lack of "d" means that matching doesn't ever start, and
the callout is never reached. However, with "abyd", though the result is still
no match, the callout is obeyed.
</P>
<P>
If the pattern is studied, PCRE knows the minimum length of a matching string,
and will immediately give a "no match" return without actually running a match
if the subject is not long enough, or, for unanchored patterns, if it has
been scanned far enough.
</P>
<P>
You can disable these optimizations by passing the PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE
option to the matching function, or by starting the pattern with
(*NO_START_OPT). This slows down the matching process, but does ensure that
callouts such as the example above are obeyed.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">THE CALLOUT INTERFACE</a><br>
<P>
During matching, when PCRE reaches a callout point, the external function
defined by <i>pcre_callout</i> or <i>pcre[16|32]_callout</i> is called (if it is
set). This applies to both normal and DFA matching. The only argument to the
callout function is a pointer to a <b>pcre_callout</b> or
<b>pcre[16|32]_callout</b> block. These structures contains the following
fields:
<pre>
int <i>version</i>;
int <i>callout_number</i>;
int *<i>offset_vector</i>;
const char *<i>subject</i>; (8-bit version)
PCRE_SPTR16 <i>subject</i>; (16-bit version)
PCRE_SPTR32 <i>subject</i>; (32-bit version)
int <i>subject_length</i>;
int <i>start_match</i>;
int <i>current_position</i>;
int <i>capture_top</i>;
int <i>capture_last</i>;
void *<i>callout_data</i>;
int <i>pattern_position</i>;
int <i>next_item_length</i>;
const unsigned char *<i>mark</i>; (8-bit version)
const PCRE_UCHAR16 *<i>mark</i>; (16-bit version)
const PCRE_UCHAR32 *<i>mark</i>; (32-bit version)
</pre>
The <i>version</i> field is an integer containing the version number of the
block format. The initial version was 0; the current version is 2. The version
number will change again in future if additional fields are added, but the
intention is never to remove any of the existing fields.
</P>
<P>
The <i>callout_number</i> field contains the number of the callout, as compiled
into the pattern (that is, the number after ?C for manual callouts, and 255 for
automatically generated callouts).
</P>
<P>
The <i>offset_vector</i> field is a pointer to the vector of offsets that was
passed by the caller to the matching function. When <b>pcre_exec()</b> or
<b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> is used, the contents can be inspected, in order to
extract substrings that have been matched so far, in the same way as for
extracting substrings after a match has completed. For the DFA matching
functions, this field is not useful.
</P>
<P>
The <i>subject</i> and <i>subject_length</i> fields contain copies of the values
that were passed to the matching function.
</P>
<P>
The <i>start_match</i> field normally contains the offset within the subject at
which the current match attempt started. However, if the escape sequence \K
has been encountered, this value is changed to reflect the modified starting
point. If the pattern is not anchored, the callout function may be called
several times from the same point in the pattern for different starting points
in the subject.
</P>
<P>
The <i>current_position</i> field contains the offset within the subject of the
current match pointer.
</P>
<P>
When the <b>pcre_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> is used, the
<i>capture_top</i> field contains one more than the number of the highest
numbered captured substring so far. If no substrings have been captured, the
value of <i>capture_top</i> is one. This is always the case when the DFA
functions are used, because they do not support captured substrings.
</P>
<P>
The <i>capture_last</i> field contains the number of the most recently captured
substring. However, when a recursion exits, the value reverts to what it was
outside the recursion, as do the values of all captured substrings. If no
substrings have been captured, the value of <i>capture_last</i> is -1. This is
always the case for the DFA matching functions.
</P>
<P>
The <i>callout_data</i> field contains a value that is passed to a matching
function specifically so that it can be passed back in callouts. It is passed
in the <i>callout_data</i> field of a <b>pcre_extra</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b>
data structure. If no such data was passed, the value of <i>callout_data</i> in
a callout block is NULL. There is a description of the <b>pcre_extra</b>
structure in the
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
documentation.
</P>
<P>
The <i>pattern_position</i> field is present from version 1 of the callout
structure. It contains the offset to the next item to be matched in the pattern
string.
</P>
<P>
The <i>next_item_length</i> field is present from version 1 of the callout
structure. It contains the length of the next item to be matched in the pattern
string. When the callout immediately precedes an alternation bar, a closing
parenthesis, or the end of the pattern, the length is zero. When the callout
precedes an opening parenthesis, the length is that of the entire subpattern.
</P>
<P>
The <i>pattern_position</i> and <i>next_item_length</i> fields are intended to
help in distinguishing between different automatic callouts, which all have the
same callout number. However, they are set for all callouts.
</P>
<P>
The <i>mark</i> field is present from version 2 of the callout structure. In
callouts from <b>pcre_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> it contains a
pointer to the zero-terminated name of the most recently passed (*MARK),
(*PRUNE), or (*THEN) item in the match, or NULL if no such items have been
passed. Instances of (*PRUNE) or (*THEN) without a name do not obliterate a
previous (*MARK). In callouts from the DFA matching functions this field always
contains NULL.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">RETURN VALUES</a><br>
<P>
The external callout function returns an integer to PCRE. If the value is zero,
matching proceeds as normal. If the value is greater than zero, matching fails
at the current point, but the testing of other matching possibilities goes
ahead, just as if a lookahead assertion had failed. If the value is less than
zero, the match is abandoned, the matching function returns the negative value.
</P>
<P>
Negative values should normally be chosen from the set of PCRE_ERROR_xxx
values. In particular, PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH forces a standard "no match" failure.
The error number PCRE_ERROR_CALLOUT is reserved for use by callout functions;
it will never be used by PCRE itself.

<br><b>
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PCRE AND PERL
</b><br>
<P>
This document describes the differences in the ways that PCRE and Perl handle
regular expressions. The differences described here are with respect to Perl
versions 5.10 and above.
</P>
<P>
1. PCRE has only a subset of Perl's Unicode support. Details of what it does
have are given in the
<a href="pcreunicode.html"><b>pcreunicode</b></a>
page.
</P>
<P>
2. PCRE allows repeat quantifiers only on parenthesized assertions, but they do
not mean what you might think. For example, (?!a){3} does not assert that the
next three characters are not "a". It just asserts that the next character is
not "a" three times (in principle: PCRE optimizes this to run the assertion
just once). Perl allows repeat quantifiers on other assertions such as \b, but
these do not seem to have any use.
</P>
<P>
3. Capturing subpatterns that occur inside negative lookahead assertions are
counted, but their entries in the offsets vector are never set. Perl sometimes
(but not always) sets its numerical variables from inside negative assertions.
</P>
<P>
4. Though binary zero characters are supported in the subject string, they are
not allowed in a pattern string because it is passed as a normal C string,
terminated by zero. The escape sequence \0 can be used in the pattern to
represent a binary zero.
</P>
<P>
5. The following Perl escape sequences are not supported: \l, \u, \L,
\U, and \N when followed by a character name or Unicode value. (\N on its
own, matching a non-newline character, is supported.) In fact these are
implemented by Perl's general string-handling and are not part of its pattern
matching engine. If any of these are encountered by PCRE, an error is
generated by default. However, if the PCRE_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT option is set,
\U and \u are interpreted as JavaScript interprets them.
</P>
<P>
6. The Perl escape sequences \p, \P, and \X are supported only if PCRE is
built with Unicode character property support. The properties that can be
tested with \p and \P are limited to the general category properties such as
Lu and Nd, script names such as Greek or Han, and the derived properties Any
and L&. PCRE does support the Cs (surrogate) property, which Perl does not; the
Perl documentation says "Because Perl hides the need for the user to understand
the internal representation of Unicode characters, there is no need to
implement the somewhat messy concept of surrogates."
</P>
<P>
7. PCRE does support the \Q...\E escape for quoting substrings. Characters in
between are treated as literals. This is slightly different from Perl in that $
and @ are also handled as literals inside the quotes. In Perl, they cause
variable interpolation (but of course PCRE does not have variables). Note the
following examples:
<pre>
Pattern PCRE matches Perl matches
\Qabc$xyz\E abc$xyz abc followed by the contents of $xyz
\Qabc\$xyz\E abc\$xyz abc\$xyz
\Qabc\E\$\Qxyz\E abc$xyz abc$xyz
</pre>
The \Q...\E sequence is recognized both inside and outside character classes.
</P>
<P>
8. Fairly obviously, PCRE does not support the (?{code}) and (??{code})
constructions. However, there is support for recursive patterns. This is not
available in Perl 5.8, but it is in Perl 5.10. Also, the PCRE "callout"
feature allows an external function to be called during pattern matching. See
the
<a href="pcrecallout.html"><b>pcrecallout</b></a>
documentation for details.
</P>
<P>
9. Subpatterns that are called as subroutines (whether or not recursively) are
always treated as atomic groups in PCRE. This is like Python, but unlike Perl.
Captured values that are set outside a subroutine call can be reference from
inside in PCRE, but not in Perl. There is a discussion that explains these
differences in more detail in the
<a href="pcrepattern.html#recursiondifference">section on recursion differences from Perl</a>
in the
<a href="pcrepattern.html"><b>pcrepattern</b></a>
page.
</P>
<P>
10. If any of the backtracking control verbs are used in a subpattern that is
called as a subroutine (whether or not recursively), their effect is confined
to that subpattern; it does not extend to the surrounding pattern. This is not
always the case in Perl. In particular, if (*THEN) is present in a group that
is called as a subroutine, its action is limited to that group, even if the
group does not contain any | characters. Note that such subpatterns are
processed as anchored at the point where they are tested.
</P>
<P>
11. If a pattern contains more than one backtracking control verb, the first
one that is backtracked onto acts. For example, in the pattern
A(*COMMIT)B(*PRUNE)C a failure in B triggers (*COMMIT), but a failure in C
triggers (*PRUNE). Perl's behaviour is more complex; in many cases it is the
same as PCRE, but there are examples where it differs.
</P>
<P>
12. Most backtracking verbs in assertions have their normal actions. They are
not confined to the assertion.
</P>
<P>
13. There are some differences that are concerned with the settings of captured
strings when part of a pattern is repeated. For example, matching "aba" against
the pattern /^(a(b)?)+$/ in Perl leaves $2 unset, but in PCRE it is set to "b".
</P>
<P>
14. PCRE's handling of duplicate subpattern numbers and duplicate subpattern
names is not as general as Perl's. This is a consequence of the fact the PCRE
works internally just with numbers, using an external table to translate
between numbers and names. In particular, a pattern such as (?|(?&#60;a&#62;A)|(?&#60;b&#62;B),
where the two capturing parentheses have the same number but different names,
is not supported, and causes an error at compile time. If it were allowed, it
would not be possible to distinguish which parentheses matched, because both
names map to capturing subpattern number 1. To avoid this confusing situation,
an error is given at compile time.
</P>
<P>
15. Perl recognizes comments in some places that PCRE does not, for example,
between the ( and ? at the start of a subpattern. If the /x modifier is set,
Perl allows white space between ( and ? (though current Perls warn that this is
deprecated) but PCRE never does, even if the PCRE_EXTENDED option is set.
</P>
<P>
16. Perl, when in warning mode, gives warnings for character classes such as
[A-\d] or [a-[:digit:]]. It then treats the hyphens as literals. PCRE has no
warning features, so it gives an error in these cases because they are almost
certainly user mistakes.
</P>
<P>
17. In PCRE, the upper/lower case character properties Lu and Ll are not
affected when case-independent matching is specified. For example, \p{Lu}
always matches an upper case letter. I think Perl has changed in this respect;
in the release at the time of writing (5.16), \p{Lu} and \p{Ll} match all
letters, regardless of case, when case independence is specified.
</P>
<P>
18. PCRE provides some extensions to the Perl regular expression facilities.
Perl 5.10 includes new features that are not in earlier versions of Perl, some
of which (such as named parentheses) have been in PCRE for some time. This list
is with respect to Perl 5.10:
<br>
<br>
(a) Although lookbehind assertions in PCRE must match fixed length strings,
each alternative branch of a lookbehind assertion can match a different length
of string. Perl requires them all to have the same length.
<br>
<br>
(b) If PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY is set and PCRE_MULTILINE is not set, the $
meta-character matches only at the very end of the string.
<br>
<br>
(c) If PCRE_EXTRA is set, a backslash followed by a letter with no special
meaning is faulted. Otherwise, like Perl, the backslash is quietly ignored.
(Perl can be made to issue a warning.)
<br>
<br>
(d) If PCRE_UNGREEDY is set, the greediness of the repetition quantifiers is
inverted, that is, by default they are not greedy, but if followed by a
question mark they are.
<br>
<br>
(e) PCRE_ANCHORED can be used at matching time to force a pattern to be tried
only at the first matching position in the subject string.
<br>
<br>
(f) The PCRE_NOTBOL, PCRE_NOTEOL, PCRE_NOTEMPTY, PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART, and
PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE options for <b>pcre_exec()</b> have no Perl equivalents.
<br>
<br>
(g) The \R escape sequence can be restricted to match only CR, LF, or CRLF
by the PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF option.
<br>
<br>
(h) The callout facility is PCRE-specific.
<br>
<br>
(i) The partial matching facility is PCRE-specific.
<br>
<br>
(j) Patterns compiled by PCRE can be saved and re-used at a later time, even on
different hosts that have the other endianness. However, this does not apply to
optimized data created by the just-in-time compiler.
<br>
<br>
(k) The alternative matching functions (<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>,
<b>pcre16_dfa_exec()</b> and <b>pcre32_dfa_exec()</b>,) match in a different way
and are not Perl-compatible.
<br>
<br>
(l) PCRE recognizes some special sequences such as (*CR) at the start of
a pattern that set overall options that cannot be changed within the pattern.

<b>#include &#60;pcrecpp.h&#62;</b>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">DESCRIPTION</a><br>
<P>
The C++ wrapper for PCRE was provided by Google Inc. Some additional
functionality was added by Giuseppe Maxia. This brief man page was constructed
from the notes in the <i>pcrecpp.h</i> file, which should be consulted for
further details. Note that the C++ wrapper supports only the original 8-bit
PCRE library. There is no 16-bit or 32-bit support at present.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">MATCHING INTERFACE</a><br>
<P>
The "FullMatch" operation checks that supplied text matches a supplied pattern
exactly. If pointer arguments are supplied, it copies matched sub-strings that
match sub-patterns into them.
<pre>
Example: successful match
pcrecpp::RE re("h.*o");
re.FullMatch("hello");
Example: unsuccessful match (requires full match):
pcrecpp::RE re("e");
!re.FullMatch("hello");
Example: creating a temporary RE object:
pcrecpp::RE("h.*o").FullMatch("hello");
</pre>
You can pass in a "const char*" or a "string" for "text". The examples below
tend to use a const char*. You can, as in the different examples above, store
the RE object explicitly in a variable or use a temporary RE object. The
examples below use one mode or the other arbitrarily. Either could correctly be
used for any of these examples.
</P>
<P>
You must supply extra pointer arguments to extract matched subpieces.
<pre>
Example: extracts "ruby" into "s" and 1234 into "i"
int i;
string s;
pcrecpp::RE re("(\\w+):(\\d+)");
re.FullMatch("ruby:1234", &s, &i);
Example: does not try to extract any extra sub-patterns
re.FullMatch("ruby:1234", &s);
Example: does not try to extract into NULL
re.FullMatch("ruby:1234", NULL, &i);
Example: integer overflow causes failure
!re.FullMatch("ruby:1234567891234", NULL, &i);
Example: fails because there aren't enough sub-patterns:
!pcrecpp::RE("\\w+:\\d+").FullMatch("ruby:1234", &s);
Example: fails because string cannot be stored in integer
!pcrecpp::RE("(.*)").FullMatch("ruby", &i);
</pre>
The provided pointer arguments can be pointers to any scalar numeric
type, or one of:
<pre>
string (matched piece is copied to string)
StringPiece (StringPiece is mutated to point to matched piece)
T (where "bool T::ParseFrom(const char*, int)" exists)
NULL (the corresponding matched sub-pattern is not copied)
</pre>
The function returns true iff all of the following conditions are satisfied:
<pre>
a. "text" matches "pattern" exactly;
b. The number of matched sub-patterns is &#62;= number of supplied
pointers;
c. The "i"th argument has a suitable type for holding the
string captured as the "i"th sub-pattern. If you pass in
void * NULL for the "i"th argument, or a non-void * NULL
of the correct type, or pass fewer arguments than the
number of sub-patterns, "i"th captured sub-pattern is
ignored.
</pre>
CAVEAT: An optional sub-pattern that does not exist in the matched
string is assigned the empty string. Therefore, the following will
return false (because the empty string is not a valid number):
<pre>
int number;
pcrecpp::RE::FullMatch("abc", "[a-z]+(\\d+)?", &number);
</pre>
The matching interface supports at most 16 arguments per call.
If you need more, consider using the more general interface
<b>pcrecpp::RE::DoMatch</b>. See <b>pcrecpp.h</b> for the signature for
<b>DoMatch</b>.
</P>
<P>
NOTE: Do not use <b>no_arg</b>, which is used internally to mark the end of a
list of optional arguments, as a placeholder for missing arguments, as this can
lead to segfaults.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">QUOTING METACHARACTERS</a><br>
<P>
You can use the "QuoteMeta" operation to insert backslashes before all
potentially meaningful characters in a string. The returned string, used as a
regular expression, will exactly match the original string.
<pre>
Example:
string quoted = RE::QuoteMeta(unquoted);
</pre>
Note that it's legal to escape a character even if it has no special meaning in
a regular expression -- so this function does that. (This also makes it
identical to the perl function of the same name; see "perldoc -f quotemeta".)
For example, "1.5-2.0?" becomes "1\.5\-2\.0\?".
</P>
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHES</a><br>
<P>
You can use the "PartialMatch" operation when you want the pattern
to match any substring of the text.
<pre>
Example: simple search for a string:
pcrecpp::RE("ell").PartialMatch("hello");
Example: find first number in a string:
int number;
pcrecpp::RE re("(\\d+)");
re.PartialMatch("x*100 + 20", &number);
assert(number == 100);
</PRE>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">UTF-8 AND THE MATCHING INTERFACE</a><br>
<P>
By default, pattern and text are plain text, one byte per character. The UTF8
flag, passed to the constructor, causes both pattern and string to be treated
as UTF-8 text, still a byte stream but potentially multiple bytes per
character. In practice, the text is likelier to be UTF-8 than the pattern, but
the match returned may depend on the UTF8 flag, so always use it when matching
UTF8 text. For example, "." will match one byte normally but with UTF8 set may
match up to three bytes of a multi-byte character.
<pre>
Example:
pcrecpp::RE_Options options;
options.set_utf8();
pcrecpp::RE re(utf8_pattern, options);
re.FullMatch(utf8_string);
Example: using the convenience function UTF8():
pcrecpp::RE re(utf8_pattern, pcrecpp::UTF8());
re.FullMatch(utf8_string);
</pre>
NOTE: The UTF8 flag is ignored if pcre was not configured with the
<pre>
--enable-utf8 flag.
</PRE>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">PASSING MODIFIERS TO THE REGULAR EXPRESSION ENGINE</a><br>
<P>
PCRE defines some modifiers to change the behavior of the regular expression
engine. The C++ wrapper defines an auxiliary class, RE_Options, as a vehicle to
pass such modifiers to a RE class. Currently, the following modifiers are
supported:
<pre>
modifier description Perl corresponding
PCRE_CASELESS case insensitive match /i
PCRE_MULTILINE multiple lines match /m
PCRE_DOTALL dot matches newlines /s
PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY $ matches only at end N/A
PCRE_EXTRA strict escape parsing N/A
PCRE_EXTENDED ignore white spaces /x
PCRE_UTF8 handles UTF8 chars built-in
PCRE_UNGREEDY reverses * and *? N/A
PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE disables capturing parens N/A (*)
</pre>
(*) Both Perl and PCRE allow non capturing parentheses by means of the
"?:" modifier within the pattern itself. e.g. (?:ab|cd) does not
capture, while (ab|cd) does.
</P>
<P>
For a full account on how each modifier works, please check the
PCRE API reference page.
</P>
<P>
For each modifier, there are two member functions whose name is made
out of the modifier in lowercase, without the "PCRE_" prefix. For
instance, PCRE_CASELESS is handled by
<pre>
bool caseless()
</pre>
which returns true if the modifier is set, and
<pre>
RE_Options & set_caseless(bool)
</pre>
which sets or unsets the modifier. Moreover, PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT can be
accessed through the <b>set_match_limit()</b> and <b>match_limit()</b> member
functions. Setting <i>match_limit</i> to a non-zero value will limit the
execution of pcre to keep it from doing bad things like blowing the stack or
taking an eternity to return a result. A value of 5000 is good enough to stop
stack blowup in a 2MB thread stack. Setting <i>match_limit</i> to zero disables
match limiting. Alternatively, you can call <b>match_limit_recursion()</b>
which uses PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION to limit how much PCRE
recurses. <b>match_limit()</b> limits the number of matches PCRE does;
<b>match_limit_recursion()</b> limits the depth of internal recursion, and
therefore the amount of stack that is used.
</P>
<P>
Normally, to pass one or more modifiers to a RE class, you declare
a <i>RE_Options</i> object, set the appropriate options, and pass this
object to a RE constructor. Example:
<pre>
RE_Options opt;
opt.set_caseless(true);
if (RE("HELLO", opt).PartialMatch("hello world")) ...
</pre>
RE_options has two constructors. The default constructor takes no arguments and
creates a set of flags that are off by default. The optional parameter
<i>option_flags</i> is to facilitate transfer of legacy code from C programs.
This lets you do
<pre>
RE(pattern,
RE_Options(PCRE_CASELESS|PCRE_MULTILINE)).PartialMatch(str);
</pre>
However, new code is better off doing
<pre>
RE(pattern,
RE_Options().set_caseless(true).set_multiline(true))
.PartialMatch(str);
</pre>
If you are going to pass one of the most used modifiers, there are some
convenience functions that return a RE_Options class with the
appropriate modifier already set: <b>CASELESS()</b>, <b>UTF8()</b>,
<b>MULTILINE()</b>, <b>DOTALL</b>(), and <b>EXTENDED()</b>.
</P>
<P>
If you need to set several options at once, and you don't want to go through
the pains of declaring a RE_Options object and setting several options, there
is a parallel method that give you such ability on the fly. You can concatenate
several <b>set_xxxxx()</b> member functions, since each of them returns a
reference to its class object. For example, to pass PCRE_CASELESS,
PCRE_EXTENDED, and PCRE_MULTILINE to a RE with one statement, you may write:
<pre>
RE(" ^ xyz \\s+ .* blah$",
RE_Options()
.set_caseless(true)
.set_extended(true)
.set_multiline(true)).PartialMatch(sometext);
</PRE>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">SCANNING TEXT INCREMENTALLY</a><br>
<P>
The "Consume" operation may be useful if you want to repeatedly
match regular expressions at the front of a string and skip over
them as they match. This requires use of the "StringPiece" type,
which represents a sub-range of a real string. Like RE, StringPiece
is defined in the pcrecpp namespace.
<pre>
Example: read lines of the form "var = value" from a string.
string contents = ...; // Fill string somehow
pcrecpp::StringPiece input(contents); // Wrap in a StringPiece
string var;
int value;
pcrecpp::RE re("(\\w+) = (\\d+)\n");
while (re.Consume(&input, &var, &value)) {
...;
}
</pre>
Each successful call to "Consume" will set "var/value", and also
advance "input" so it points past the matched text.
</P>
<P>
The "FindAndConsume" operation is similar to "Consume" but does not
anchor your match at the beginning of the string. For example, you
could extract all words from a string by repeatedly calling
<pre>
pcrecpp::RE("(\\w+)").FindAndConsume(&input, &word)
</PRE>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">PARSING HEX/OCTAL/C-RADIX NUMBERS</a><br>
<P>
By default, if you pass a pointer to a numeric value, the
corresponding text is interpreted as a base-10 number. You can
instead wrap the pointer with a call to one of the operators Hex(),
Octal(), or CRadix() to interpret the text in another base. The
CRadix operator interprets C-style "0" (base-8) and "0x" (base-16)
prefixes, but defaults to base-10.
<pre>
Example:
int a, b, c, d;
pcrecpp::RE re("(.*) (.*) (.*) (.*)");
re.FullMatch("100 40 0100 0x40",
pcrecpp::Octal(&a), pcrecpp::Hex(&b),
pcrecpp::CRadix(&c), pcrecpp::CRadix(&d));
</pre>
will leave 64 in a, b, c, and d.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC1">REPLACING PARTS OF STRINGS</a><br>
<P>
You can replace the first match of "pattern" in "str" with "rewrite".
Within "rewrite", backslash-escaped digits (\1 to \9) can be
used to insert text matching corresponding parenthesized group
from the pattern. \0 in "rewrite" refers to the entire matching
text. For example:
<pre>
string s = "yabba dabba doo";
pcrecpp::RE("b+").Replace("d", &s);
</pre>
will leave "s" containing "yada dabba doo". The result is true if the pattern
matches and a replacement occurs, false otherwise.
</P>
<P>
<b>GlobalReplace</b> is like <b>Replace</b> except that it replaces all
occurrences of the pattern in the string with the rewrite. Replacements are
not subject to re-matching. For example:
<pre>
string s = "yabba dabba doo";
pcrecpp::RE("b+").GlobalReplace("d", &s);
</pre>
will leave "s" containing "yada dada doo". It returns the number of
replacements made.
</P>
<P>
<b>Extract</b> is like <b>Replace</b>, except that if the pattern matches,
"rewrite" is copied into "out" (an additional argument) with substitutions.
The non-matching portions of "text" are ignored. Returns true iff a match
occurred and the extraction happened successfully; if no match occurs, the
string is left unaffected.

/*************************************************
* PCRE DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM *
*************************************************/
/* This is a demonstration program to illustrate the most straightforward ways
of calling the PCRE regular expression library from a C program. See the
pcresample documentation for a short discussion ("man pcresample" if you have
the PCRE man pages installed).
In Unix-like environments, if PCRE is installed in your standard system
libraries, you should be able to compile this program using this command:
gcc -Wall pcredemo.c -lpcre -o pcredemo
If PCRE is not installed in a standard place, it is likely to be installed with
support for the pkg-config mechanism. If you have pkg-config, you can compile
this program using this command:
gcc -Wall pcredemo.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libpcre` -o pcredemo
If you do not have pkg-config, you may have to use this:
gcc -Wall pcredemo.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib \
-R/usr/local/lib -lpcre -o pcredemo
Replace "/usr/local/include" and "/usr/local/lib" with wherever the include and
library files for PCRE are installed on your system. Only some operating
systems (e.g. Solaris) use the -R option.
Building under Windows:
If you want to statically link this program against a non-dll .a file, you must
define PCRE_STATIC before including pcre.h, otherwise the pcre_malloc() and
pcre_free() exported functions will be declared __declspec(dllimport), with
unwanted results. So in this environment, uncomment the following line. */

* What happens is as follows: *
* *
* If the previous match was NOT for an empty string, we can just start *
* the next match at the end of the previous one. *
* *
* If the previous match WAS for an empty string, we can't do that, as it *
* would lead to an infinite loop. Instead, a special call of pcre_exec() *
* is made with the PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART and PCRE_ANCHORED flags set. *
* The first of these tells PCRE that an empty string at the start of the *
* subject is not a valid match; other possibilities must be tried. The *
* second flag restricts PCRE to one match attempt at the initial string *
* position. If this match succeeds, an alternative to the empty string *
* match has been found, and we can print it and proceed round the loop, *
* advancing by the length of whatever was found. If this match does not *
* succeed, we still stay in the loop, advancing by just one character. *
* In UTF-8 mode, which can be set by (*UTF8) in the pattern, this may be *
* more than one byte. *
* *
* However, there is a complication concerned with newlines. When the *
* newline convention is such that CRLF is a valid newline, we must *
* advance by two characters rather than one. The newline convention can *
* be set in the regex by (*CR), etc.; if not, we must find the default. *

Perl does: advance the matching position by one character, and continue. We
do this by setting the "end of previous match" offset, because that is picked
up at the top of the loop as the point at which to start again.

<P>
<b>pcregrep [options] [long options] [pattern] [path1 path2 ...]</b>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">DESCRIPTION</a><br>
<P>
<b>pcregrep</b> searches files for character patterns, in the same way as other
grep commands do, but it uses the PCRE regular expression library to support
patterns that are compatible with the regular expressions of Perl 5. See
<a href="pcresyntax.html"><b>pcresyntax</b>(3)</a>
for a quick-reference summary of pattern syntax, or
<a href="pcrepattern.html"><b>pcrepattern</b>(3)</a>
for a full description of the syntax and semantics of the regular expressions
that PCRE supports.
</P>
<P>
Patterns, whether supplied on the command line or in a separate file, are given
without delimiters. For example:
<pre>
pcregrep Thursday /etc/motd
</pre>
If you attempt to use delimiters (for example, by surrounding a pattern with
slashes, as is common in Perl scripts), they are interpreted as part of the
pattern. Quotes can of course be used to delimit patterns on the command line
because they are interpreted by the shell, and indeed quotes are required if a
pattern contains white space or shell metacharacters.
</P>
<P>
The first argument that follows any option settings is treated as the single
pattern to be matched when neither <b>-e</b> nor <b>-f</b> is present.
Conversely, when one or both of these options are used to specify patterns, all
arguments are treated as path names. At least one of <b>-e</b>, <b>-f</b>, or an
argument pattern must be provided.
</P>
<P>
If no files are specified, <b>pcregrep</b> reads the standard input. The
standard input can also be referenced by a name consisting of a single hyphen.
For example:
<pre>
pcregrep some-pattern /file1 - /file3
</pre>
By default, each line that matches a pattern is copied to the standard
output, and if there is more than one file, the file name is output at the
start of each line, followed by a colon. However, there are options that can
change how <b>pcregrep</b> behaves. In particular, the <b>-M</b> option makes it
possible to search for patterns that span line boundaries. What defines a line
boundary is controlled by the <b>-N</b> (<b>--newline</b>) option.
</P>
<P>
The amount of memory used for buffering files that are being scanned is
controlled by a parameter that can be set by the <b>--buffer-size</b> option.
The default value for this parameter is specified when <b>pcregrep</b> is built,
with the default default being 20K. A block of memory three times this size is
used (to allow for buffering "before" and "after" lines). An error occurs if a
line overflows the buffer.
</P>
<P>
Patterns can be no longer than 8K or BUFSIZ bytes, whichever is the greater.
BUFSIZ is defined in <b>&#60;stdio.h&#62;</b>. When there is more than one pattern
(specified by the use of <b>-e</b> and/or <b>-f</b>), each pattern is applied to
each line in the order in which they are defined, except that all the <b>-e</b>
patterns are tried before the <b>-f</b> patterns.
</P>
<P>
By default, as soon as one pattern matches a line, no further patterns are
considered. However, if <b>--colour</b> (or <b>--color</b>) is used to colour the
matching substrings, or if <b>--only-matching</b>, <b>--file-offsets</b>, or
<b>--line-offsets</b> is used to output only the part of the line that matched
(either shown literally, or as an offset), scanning resumes immediately
following the match, so that further matches on the same line can be found. If
there are multiple patterns, they are all tried on the remainder of the line,
but patterns that follow the one that matched are not tried on the earlier part
of the line.
</P>
<P>
This behaviour means that the order in which multiple patterns are specified
can affect the output when one of the above options is used. This is no longer
the same behaviour as GNU grep, which now manages to display earlier matches
for later patterns (as long as there is no overlap).
</P>
<P>
Patterns that can match an empty string are accepted, but empty string
matches are never recognized. An example is the pattern "(super)?(man)?", in
which all components are optional. This pattern finds all occurrences of both
"super" and "man"; the output differs from matching with "super|man" when only
the matching substrings are being shown.
</P>
<P>
If the <b>LC_ALL</b> or <b>LC_CTYPE</b> environment variable is set,
<b>pcregrep</b> uses the value to set a locale when calling the PCRE library.
The <b>--locale</b> option can be used to override this.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">SUPPORT FOR COMPRESSED FILES</a><br>
<P>
It is possible to compile <b>pcregrep</b> so that it uses <b>libz</b> or
<b>libbz2</b> to read files whose names end in <b>.gz</b> or <b>.bz2</b>,
respectively. You can find out whether your binary has support for one or both
of these file types by running it with the <b>--help</b> option. If the
appropriate support is not present, files are treated as plain text. The
standard input is always so treated.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">BINARY FILES</a><br>
<P>
By default, a file that contains a binary zero byte within the first 1024 bytes
is identified as a binary file, and is processed specially. (GNU grep also
identifies binary files in this manner.) See the <b>--binary-files</b> option
for a means of changing the way binary files are handled.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">OPTIONS</a><br>
<P>
The order in which some of the options appear can affect the output. For
example, both the <b>-h</b> and <b>-l</b> options affect the printing of file
names. Whichever comes later in the command line will be the one that takes
effect. Similarly, except where noted below, if an option is given twice, the
later setting is used. Numerical values for options may be followed by K or M,
to signify multiplication by 1024 or 1024*1024 respectively.
</P>
<P>
<b>--</b>
This terminates the list of options. It is useful if the next item on the
command line starts with a hyphen but is not an option. This allows for the
processing of patterns and filenames that start with hyphens.
</P>
<P>
<b>-A</b> <i>number</i>, <b>--after-context=</b><i>number</i>
Output <i>number</i> lines of context after each matching line. If filenames
and/or line numbers are being output, a hyphen separator is used instead of a
colon for the context lines. A line containing "--" is output between each
group of lines, unless they are in fact contiguous in the input file. The value
of <i>number</i> is expected to be relatively small. However, <b>pcregrep</b>
guarantees to have up to 8K of following text available for context output.
</P>
<P>
<b>-a</b>, <b>--text</b>
Treat binary files as text. This is equivalent to
<b>--binary-files</b>=<i>text</i>.
</P>
<P>
<b>-B</b> <i>number</i>, <b>--before-context=</b><i>number</i>
Output <i>number</i> lines of context before each matching line. If filenames
and/or line numbers are being output, a hyphen separator is used instead of a
colon for the context lines. A line containing "--" is output between each
group of lines, unless they are in fact contiguous in the input file. The value
of <i>number</i> is expected to be relatively small. However, <b>pcregrep</b>
guarantees to have up to 8K of preceding text available for context output.
</P>
<P>
<b>--binary-files=</b><i>word</i>
Specify how binary files are to be processed. If the word is "binary" (the
default), pattern matching is performed on binary files, but the only output is
"Binary file &#60;name&#62; matches" when a match succeeds. If the word is "text",
which is equivalent to the <b>-a</b> or <b>--text</b> option, binary files are
processed in the same way as any other file. In this case, when a match
succeeds, the output may be binary garbage, which can have nasty effects if
sent to a terminal. If the word is "without-match", which is equivalent to the
<b>-I</b> option, binary files are not processed at all; they are assumed not to
be of interest.
</P>
<P>
<b>--buffer-size=</b><i>number</i>
Set the parameter that controls how much memory is used for buffering files
that are being scanned.
</P>
<P>
<b>-C</b> <i>number</i>, <b>--context=</b><i>number</i>
Output <i>number</i> lines of context both before and after each matching line.
This is equivalent to setting both <b>-A</b> and <b>-B</b> to the same value.
</P>
<P>
<b>-c</b>, <b>--count</b>
Do not output individual lines from the files that are being scanned; instead
output the number of lines that would otherwise have been shown. If no lines
are selected, the number zero is output. If several files are are being
scanned, a count is output for each of them. However, if the
<b>--files-with-matches</b> option is also used, only those files whose counts
are greater than zero are listed. When <b>-c</b> is used, the <b>-A</b>,
<b>-B</b>, and <b>-C</b> options are ignored.
</P>
<P>
<b>--colour</b>, <b>--color</b>
If this option is given without any data, it is equivalent to "--colour=auto".
If data is required, it must be given in the same shell item, separated by an
equals sign.
</P>
<P>
<b>--colour=</b><i>value</i>, <b>--color=</b><i>value</i>
This option specifies under what circumstances the parts of a line that matched
a pattern should be coloured in the output. By default, the output is not
coloured. The value (which is optional, see above) may be "never", "always", or
"auto". In the latter case, colouring happens only if the standard output is
connected to a terminal. More resources are used when colouring is enabled,
because <b>pcregrep</b> has to search for all possible matches in a line, not
just one, in order to colour them all.
<br>
<br>
The colour that is used can be specified by setting the environment variable
PCREGREP_COLOUR or PCREGREP_COLOR. The value of this variable should be a
string of two numbers, separated by a semicolon. They are copied directly into
the control string for setting colour on a terminal, so it is your
responsibility to ensure that they make sense. If neither of the environment
variables is set, the default is "1;31", which gives red.
</P>
<P>
<b>-D</b> <i>action</i>, <b>--devices=</b><i>action</i>
If an input path is not a regular file or a directory, "action" specifies how
it is to be processed. Valid values are "read" (the default) or "skip"
(silently skip the path).
</P>
<P>
<b>-d</b> <i>action</i>, <b>--directories=</b><i>action</i>
If an input path is a directory, "action" specifies how it is to be processed.
Valid values are "read" (the default in non-Windows environments, for
compatibility with GNU grep), "recurse" (equivalent to the <b>-r</b> option), or
"skip" (silently skip the path, the default in Windows environments). In the
"read" case, directories are read as if they were ordinary files. In some
operating systems the effect of reading a directory like this is an immediate
end-of-file; in others it may provoke an error.
</P>
<P>
<b>-e</b> <i>pattern</i>, <b>--regex=</b><i>pattern</i>, <b>--regexp=</b><i>pattern</i>
Specify a pattern to be matched. This option can be used multiple times in
order to specify several patterns. It can also be used as a way of specifying a
single pattern that starts with a hyphen. When <b>-e</b> is used, no argument
pattern is taken from the command line; all arguments are treated as file
names. There is no limit to the number of patterns. They are applied to each
line in the order in which they are defined until one matches.
<br>
<br>
If <b>-f</b> is used with <b>-e</b>, the command line patterns are matched first,
followed by the patterns from the file(s), independent of the order in which
these options are specified. Note that multiple use of <b>-e</b> is not the same
as a single pattern with alternatives. For example, X|Y finds the first
character in a line that is X or Y, whereas if the two patterns are given
separately, with X first, <b>pcregrep</b> finds X if it is present, even if it
follows Y in the line. It finds Y only if there is no X in the line. This
matters only if you are using <b>-o</b> or <b>--colo(u)r</b> to show the part(s)
of the line that matched.
</P>
<P>
<b>--exclude</b>=<i>pattern</i>
Files (but not directories) whose names match the pattern are skipped without
being processed. This applies to all files, whether listed on the command line,
obtained from <b>--file-list</b>, or by scanning a directory. The pattern is a
PCRE regular expression, and is matched against the final component of the file
name, not the entire path. The <b>-F</b>, <b>-w</b>, and <b>-x</b> options do not
apply to this pattern. The option may be given any number of times in order to
specify multiple patterns. If a file name matches both an <b>--include</b>
and an <b>--exclude</b> pattern, it is excluded. There is no short form for this
option.
</P>
<P>
<b>--exclude-from=</b><i>filename</i>
Treat each non-empty line of the file as the data for an <b>--exclude</b>
option. What constitutes a newline when reading the file is the operating
system's default. The <b>--newline</b> option has no effect on this option. This
option may be given more than once in order to specify a number of files to
read.
</P>
<P>
<b>--exclude-dir</b>=<i>pattern</i>
Directories whose names match the pattern are skipped without being processed,
whatever the setting of the <b>--recursive</b> option. This applies to all
directories, whether listed on the command line, obtained from
<b>--file-list</b>, or by scanning a parent directory. The pattern is a PCRE
regular expression, and is matched against the final component of the directory
name, not the entire path. The <b>-F</b>, <b>-w</b>, and <b>-x</b> options do not
apply to this pattern. The option may be given any number of times in order to
specify more than one pattern. If a directory matches both <b>--include-dir</b>
and <b>--exclude-dir</b>, it is excluded. There is no short form for this
option.
</P>
<P>
<b>-F</b>, <b>--fixed-strings</b>
Interpret each data-matching pattern as a list of fixed strings, separated by
newlines, instead of as a regular expression. What constitutes a newline for
this purpose is controlled by the <b>--newline</b> option. The <b>-w</b> (match
as a word) and <b>-x</b> (match whole line) options can be used with <b>-F</b>.
They apply to each of the fixed strings. A line is selected if any of the fixed
strings are found in it (subject to <b>-w</b> or <b>-x</b>, if present). This
option applies only to the patterns that are matched against the contents of
files; it does not apply to patterns specified by any of the <b>--include</b> or
<b>--exclude</b> options.
</P>
<P>
<b>-f</b> <i>filename</i>, <b>--file=</b><i>filename</i>
Read patterns from the file, one per line, and match them against
each line of input. What constitutes a newline when reading the file is the
operating system's default. The <b>--newline</b> option has no effect on this
option. Trailing white space is removed from each line, and blank lines are
ignored. An empty file contains no patterns and therefore matches nothing. See
also the comments about multiple patterns versus a single pattern with
alternatives in the description of <b>-e</b> above.
<br>
<br>
If this option is given more than once, all the specified files are
read. A data line is output if any of the patterns match it. A filename can
be given as "-" to refer to the standard input. When <b>-f</b> is used, patterns
specified on the command line using <b>-e</b> may also be present; they are
tested before the file's patterns. However, no other pattern is taken from the
command line; all arguments are treated as the names of paths to be searched.
</P>
<P>
<b>--file-list</b>=<i>filename</i>
Read a list of files and/or directories that are to be scanned from the given
file, one per line. Trailing white space is removed from each line, and blank
lines are ignored. These paths are processed before any that are listed on the
command line. The filename can be given as "-" to refer to the standard input.
If <b>--file</b> and <b>--file-list</b> are both specified as "-", patterns are
read first. This is useful only when the standard input is a terminal, from
which further lines (the list of files) can be read after an end-of-file
indication. If this option is given more than once, all the specified files are
read.
</P>
<P>
<b>--file-offsets</b>
Instead of showing lines or parts of lines that match, show each match as an
offset from the start of the file and a length, separated by a comma. In this
mode, no context is shown. That is, the <b>-A</b>, <b>-B</b>, and <b>-C</b>
options are ignored. If there is more than one match in a line, each of them is
shown separately. This option is mutually exclusive with <b>--line-offsets</b>
and <b>--only-matching</b>.
</P>
<P>
<b>-H</b>, <b>--with-filename</b>
Force the inclusion of the filename at the start of output lines when searching
a single file. By default, the filename is not shown in this case. For matching
lines, the filename is followed by a colon; for context lines, a hyphen
separator is used. If a line number is also being output, it follows the file
name.
</P>
<P>
<b>-h</b>, <b>--no-filename</b>
Suppress the output filenames when searching multiple files. By default,
filenames are shown when multiple files are searched. For matching lines, the
filename is followed by a colon; for context lines, a hyphen separator is used.
If a line number is also being output, it follows the file name.
</P>
<P>
<b>--help</b>
Output a help message, giving brief details of the command options and file
type support, and then exit. Anything else on the command line is
ignored.
</P>
<P>
<b>-I</b>
Treat binary files as never matching. This is equivalent to
<b>--binary-files</b>=<i>without-match</i>.
</P>
<P>
<b>-i</b>, <b>--ignore-case</b>
Ignore upper/lower case distinctions during comparisons.
</P>
<P>
<b>--include</b>=<i>pattern</i>
If any <b>--include</b> patterns are specified, the only files that are
processed are those that match one of the patterns (and do not match an
<b>--exclude</b> pattern). This option does not affect directories, but it
applies to all files, whether listed on the command line, obtained from
<b>--file-list</b>, or by scanning a directory. The pattern is a PCRE regular
expression, and is matched against the final component of the file name, not
the entire path. The <b>-F</b>, <b>-w</b>, and <b>-x</b> options do not apply to
this pattern. The option may be given any number of times. If a file name
matches both an <b>--include</b> and an <b>--exclude</b> pattern, it is excluded.
There is no short form for this option.
</P>
<P>
<b>--include-from=</b><i>filename</i>
Treat each non-empty line of the file as the data for an <b>--include</b>
option. What constitutes a newline for this purpose is the operating system's
default. The <b>--newline</b> option has no effect on this option. This option
may be given any number of times; all the files are read.
</P>
<P>
<b>--include-dir</b>=<i>pattern</i>
If any <b>--include-dir</b> patterns are specified, the only directories that
are processed are those that match one of the patterns (and do not match an
<b>--exclude-dir</b> pattern). This applies to all directories, whether listed
on the command line, obtained from <b>--file-list</b>, or by scanning a parent
directory. The pattern is a PCRE regular expression, and is matched against the
final component of the directory name, not the entire path. The <b>-F</b>,
<b>-w</b>, and <b>-x</b> options do not apply to this pattern. The option may be
given any number of times. If a directory matches both <b>--include-dir</b> and
<b>--exclude-dir</b>, it is excluded. There is no short form for this option.
</P>
<P>
<b>-L</b>, <b>--files-without-match</b>
Instead of outputting lines from the files, just output the names of the files
that do not contain any lines that would have been output. Each file name is
output once, on a separate line.
</P>
<P>
<b>-l</b>, <b>--files-with-matches</b>
Instead of outputting lines from the files, just output the names of the files
containing lines that would have been output. Each file name is output
once, on a separate line. Searching normally stops as soon as a matching line
is found in a file. However, if the <b>-c</b> (count) option is also used,
matching continues in order to obtain the correct count, and those files that
have at least one match are listed along with their counts. Using this option
with <b>-c</b> is a way of suppressing the listing of files with no matches.
</P>
<P>
<b>--label</b>=<i>name</i>
This option supplies a name to be used for the standard input when file names
are being output. If not supplied, "(standard input)" is used. There is no
short form for this option.
</P>
<P>
<b>--line-buffered</b>
When this option is given, input is read and processed line by line, and the
output is flushed after each write. By default, input is read in large chunks,
unless <b>pcregrep</b> can determine that it is reading from a terminal (which
is currently possible only in Unix-like environments). Output to terminal is
normally automatically flushed by the operating system. This option can be
useful when the input or output is attached to a pipe and you do not want
<b>pcregrep</b> to buffer up large amounts of data. However, its use will affect
performance, and the <b>-M</b> (multiline) option ceases to work.
</P>
<P>
<b>--line-offsets</b>
Instead of showing lines or parts of lines that match, show each match as a
line number, the offset from the start of the line, and a length. The line
number is terminated by a colon (as usual; see the <b>-n</b> option), and the
offset and length are separated by a comma. In this mode, no context is shown.
That is, the <b>-A</b>, <b>-B</b>, and <b>-C</b> options are ignored. If there is
more than one match in a line, each of them is shown separately. This option is
mutually exclusive with <b>--file-offsets</b> and <b>--only-matching</b>.
</P>
<P>
<b>--locale</b>=<i>locale-name</i>
This option specifies a locale to be used for pattern matching. It overrides
the value in the <b>LC_ALL</b> or <b>LC_CTYPE</b> environment variables. If no
locale is specified, the PCRE library's default (usually the "C" locale) is
used. There is no short form for this option.
</P>
<P>
<b>--match-limit</b>=<i>number</i>
Processing some regular expression patterns can require a very large amount of
memory, leading in some cases to a program crash if not enough is available.
Other patterns may take a very long time to search for all possible matching
strings. The <b>pcre_exec()</b> function that is called by <b>pcregrep</b> to do
the matching has two parameters that can limit the resources that it uses.
<br>
<br>
The <b>--match-limit</b> option provides a means of limiting resource usage
when processing patterns that are not going to match, but which have a very
large number of possibilities in their search trees. The classic example is a
pattern that uses nested unlimited repeats. Internally, PCRE uses a function
called <b>match()</b> which it calls repeatedly (sometimes recursively). The
limit set by <b>--match-limit</b> is imposed on the number of times this
function is called during a match, which has the effect of limiting the amount
of backtracking that can take place.
<br>
<br>
The <b>--recursion-limit</b> option is similar to <b>--match-limit</b>, but
instead of limiting the total number of times that <b>match()</b> is called, it
limits the depth of recursive calls, which in turn limits the amount of memory
that can be used. The recursion depth is a smaller number than the total number
of calls, because not all calls to <b>match()</b> are recursive. This limit is
of use only if it is set smaller than <b>--match-limit</b>.
<br>
<br>
There are no short forms for these options. The default settings are specified
when the PCRE library is compiled, with the default default being 10 million.
</P>
<P>
<b>-M</b>, <b>--multiline</b>
Allow patterns to match more than one line. When this option is given, patterns
may usefully contain literal newline characters and internal occurrences of ^
and $ characters. The output for a successful match may consist of more than
one line, the last of which is the one in which the match ended. If the matched
string ends with a newline sequence the output ends at the end of that line.
<br>
<br>
When this option is set, the PCRE library is called in "multiline" mode.
There is a limit to the number of lines that can be matched, imposed by the way
that <b>pcregrep</b> buffers the input file as it scans it. However,
<b>pcregrep</b> ensures that at least 8K characters or the rest of the document
(whichever is the shorter) are available for forward matching, and similarly
the previous 8K characters (or all the previous characters, if fewer than 8K)
are guaranteed to be available for lookbehind assertions. This option does not
work when input is read line by line (see \fP--line-buffered\fP.)
</P>
<P>
<b>-N</b> <i>newline-type</i>, <b>--newline</b>=<i>newline-type</i>
The PCRE library supports five different conventions for indicating
the ends of lines. They are the single-character sequences CR (carriage return)
and LF (linefeed), the two-character sequence CRLF, an "anycrlf" convention,
which recognizes any of the preceding three types, and an "any" convention, in
which any Unicode line ending sequence is assumed to end a line. The Unicode
sequences are the three just mentioned, plus VT (vertical tab, U+000B), FF
(form feed, U+000C), NEL (next line, U+0085), LS (line separator, U+2028), and
PS (paragraph separator, U+2029).
<br>
<br>
When the PCRE library is built, a default line-ending sequence is specified.
This is normally the standard sequence for the operating system. Unless
otherwise specified by this option, <b>pcregrep</b> uses the library's default.
The possible values for this option are CR, LF, CRLF, ANYCRLF, or ANY. This
makes it possible to use <b>pcregrep</b> to scan files that have come from other
environments without having to modify their line endings. If the data that is
being scanned does not agree with the convention set by this option,
<b>pcregrep</b> may behave in strange ways. Note that this option does not
apply to files specified by the <b>-f</b>, <b>--exclude-from</b>, or
<b>--include-from</b> options, which are expected to use the operating system's
standard newline sequence.
</P>
<P>
<b>-n</b>, <b>--line-number</b>
Precede each output line by its line number in the file, followed by a colon
for matching lines or a hyphen for context lines. If the filename is also being
output, it precedes the line number. This option is forced if
<b>--line-offsets</b> is used.
</P>
<P>
<b>--no-jit</b>
If the PCRE library is built with support for just-in-time compiling (which
speeds up matching), <b>pcregrep</b> automatically makes use of this, unless it
was explicitly disabled at build time. This option can be used to disable the
use of JIT at run time. It is provided for testing and working round problems.
It should never be needed in normal use.
</P>
<P>
<b>-o</b>, <b>--only-matching</b>
Show only the part of the line that matched a pattern instead of the whole
line. In this mode, no context is shown. That is, the <b>-A</b>, <b>-B</b>, and
<b>-C</b> options are ignored. If there is more than one match in a line, each
of them is shown separately. If <b>-o</b> is combined with <b>-v</b> (invert the
sense of the match to find non-matching lines), no output is generated, but the
return code is set appropriately. If the matched portion of the line is empty,
nothing is output unless the file name or line number are being printed, in
which case they are shown on an otherwise empty line. This option is mutually
exclusive with <b>--file-offsets</b> and <b>--line-offsets</b>.
</P>
<P>
<b>-o</b><i>number</i>, <b>--only-matching</b>=<i>number</i>
Show only the part of the line that matched the capturing parentheses of the
given number. Up to 32 capturing parentheses are supported, and -o0 is
equivalent to <b>-o</b> without a number. Because these options can be given
without an argument (see above), if an argument is present, it must be given in
the same shell item, for example, -o3 or --only-matching=2. The comments given
for the non-argument case above also apply to this case. If the specified
capturing parentheses do not exist in the pattern, or were not set in the
match, nothing is output unless the file name or line number are being printed.
<br>
<br>
If this option is given multiple times, multiple substrings are output, in the
order the options are given. For example, -o3 -o1 -o3 causes the substrings
matched by capturing parentheses 3 and 1 and then 3 again to be output. By
default, there is no separator (but see the next option).
</P>
<P>
<b>--om-separator</b>=<i>text</i>
Specify a separating string for multiple occurrences of <b>-o</b>. The default
is an empty string. Separating strings are never coloured.
</P>
<P>
<b>-q</b>, <b>--quiet</b>
Work quietly, that is, display nothing except error messages. The exit
status indicates whether or not any matches were found.
</P>
<P>
<b>-r</b>, <b>--recursive</b>
If any given path is a directory, recursively scan the files it contains,
taking note of any <b>--include</b> and <b>--exclude</b> settings. By default, a
directory is read as a normal file; in some operating systems this gives an
immediate end-of-file. This option is a shorthand for setting the <b>-d</b>
option to "recurse".
</P>
<P>
<b>--recursion-limit</b>=<i>number</i>
See <b>--match-limit</b> above.
</P>
<P>
<b>-s</b>, <b>--no-messages</b>
Suppress error messages about non-existent or unreadable files. Such files are
quietly skipped. However, the return code is still 2, even if matches were
found in other files.
</P>
<P>
<b>-u</b>, <b>--utf-8</b>
Operate in UTF-8 mode. This option is available only if PCRE has been compiled
with UTF-8 support. All patterns (including those for any <b>--exclude</b> and
<b>--include</b> options) and all subject lines that are scanned must be valid
strings of UTF-8 characters.
</P>
<P>
<b>-V</b>, <b>--version</b>
Write the version numbers of <b>pcregrep</b> and the PCRE library to the
standard output and then exit. Anything else on the command line is
ignored.
</P>
<P>
<b>-v</b>, <b>--invert-match</b>
Invert the sense of the match, so that lines which do <i>not</i> match any of
the patterns are the ones that are found.
</P>
<P>
<b>-w</b>, <b>--word-regex</b>, <b>--word-regexp</b>
Force the patterns to match only whole words. This is equivalent to having \b
at the start and end of the pattern. This option applies only to the patterns
that are matched against the contents of files; it does not apply to patterns
specified by any of the <b>--include</b> or <b>--exclude</b> options.
</P>
<P>
<b>-x</b>, <b>--line-regex</b>, <b>--line-regexp</b>
Force the patterns to be anchored (each must start matching at the beginning of
a line) and in addition, require them to match entire lines. This is equivalent
to having ^ and $ characters at the start and end of each alternative branch in
every pattern. This option applies only to the patterns that are matched
against the contents of files; it does not apply to patterns specified by any
of the <b>--include</b> or <b>--exclude</b> options.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES</a><br>
<P>
The environment variables <b>LC_ALL</b> and <b>LC_CTYPE</b> are examined, in that
order, for a locale. The first one that is set is used. This can be overridden
by the <b>--locale</b> option. If no locale is set, the PCRE library's default
(usually the "C" locale) is used.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">NEWLINES</a><br>
<P>
The <b>-N</b> (<b>--newline</b>) option allows <b>pcregrep</b> to scan files with
different newline conventions from the default. Any parts of the input files
that are written to the standard output are copied identically, with whatever
newline sequences they have in the input. However, the setting of this option
does not affect the interpretation of files specified by the <b>-f</b>,
<b>--exclude-from</b>, or <b>--include-from</b> options, which are assumed to use
the operating system's standard newline sequence, nor does it affect the way in
which <b>pcregrep</b> writes informational messages to the standard error and
output streams. For these it uses the string "\n" to indicate newlines,
relying on the C I/O library to convert this to an appropriate sequence.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">OPTIONS COMPATIBILITY</a><br>
<P>
Many of the short and long forms of <b>pcregrep</b>'s options are the same
as in the GNU <b>grep</b> program. Any long option of the form
<b>--xxx-regexp</b> (GNU terminology) is also available as <b>--xxx-regex</b>
(PCRE terminology). However, the <b>--file-list</b>, <b>--file-offsets</b>,
<b>--include-dir</b>, <b>--line-offsets</b>, <b>--locale</b>, <b>--match-limit</b>,
<b>-M</b>, <b>--multiline</b>, <b>-N</b>, <b>--newline</b>, <b>--om-separator</b>,
<b>--recursion-limit</b>, <b>-u</b>, and <b>--utf-8</b> options are specific to
<b>pcregrep</b>, as is the use of the <b>--only-matching</b> option with a
capturing parentheses number.
</P>
<P>
Although most of the common options work the same way, a few are different in
<b>pcregrep</b>. For example, the <b>--include</b> option's argument is a glob
for GNU <b>grep</b>, but a regular expression for <b>pcregrep</b>. If both the
<b>-c</b> and <b>-l</b> options are given, GNU grep lists only file names,
without counts, but <b>pcregrep</b> gives the counts.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">OPTIONS WITH DATA</a><br>
<P>
There are four different ways in which an option with data can be specified.
If a short form option is used, the data may follow immediately, or (with one
exception) in the next command line item. For example:
<pre>
-f/some/file
-f /some/file
</pre>
The exception is the <b>-o</b> option, which may appear with or without data.
Because of this, if data is present, it must follow immediately in the same
item, for example -o3.
</P>
<P>
If a long form option is used, the data may appear in the same command line
item, separated by an equals character, or (with two exceptions) it may appear
in the next command line item. For example:
<pre>
--file=/some/file
--file /some/file
</pre>
Note, however, that if you want to supply a file name beginning with ~ as data
in a shell command, and have the shell expand ~ to a home directory, you must
separate the file name from the option, because the shell does not treat ~
specially unless it is at the start of an item.
</P>
<P>
The exceptions to the above are the <b>--colour</b> (or <b>--color</b>) and
<b>--only-matching</b> options, for which the data is optional. If one of these
options does have data, it must be given in the first form, using an equals
character. Otherwise <b>pcregrep</b> will assume that it has no data.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC1">MATCHING ERRORS</a><br>
<P>
It is possible to supply a regular expression that takes a very long time to
fail to match certain lines. Such patterns normally involve nested indefinite
repeats, for example: (a+)*\d when matched against a line of a's with no final
digit. The PCRE matching function has a resource limit that causes it to abort
in these circumstances. If this happens, <b>pcregrep</b> outputs an error
message and the line that caused the problem to the standard error stream. If
there are more than 20 such errors, <b>pcregrep</b> gives up.
</P>
<P>
The <b>--match-limit</b> option of <b>pcregrep</b> can be used to set the overall
resource limit; there is a second option called <b>--recursion-limit</b> that
sets a limit on the amount of memory (usually stack) that is used (see the
discussion of these options above).
</P>
<br><a name="SEC11" href="#TOC1">DIAGNOSTICS</a><br>
<P>
Exit status is 0 if any matches were found, 1 if no matches were found, and 2
for syntax errors, overlong lines, non-existent or inaccessible files (even if
matches were found in other files) or too many matching errors. Using the
<b>-s</b> option to suppress error messages about inaccessible files does not
affect the return code.

<br><a name="SEC1" href="#TOC1">PCRE JUST-IN-TIME COMPILER SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
Just-in-time compiling is a heavyweight optimization that can greatly speed up
pattern matching. However, it comes at the cost of extra processing before the
match is performed. Therefore, it is of most benefit when the same pattern is
going to be matched many times. This does not necessarily mean many calls of a
matching function; if the pattern is not anchored, matching attempts may take
place many times at various positions in the subject, even for a single call.
Therefore, if the subject string is very long, it may still pay to use JIT for
one-off matches.
</P>
<P>
JIT support applies only to the traditional Perl-compatible matching function.
It does not apply when the DFA matching function is being used. The code for
this support was written by Zoltan Herczeg.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">8-BIT, 16-BIT AND 32-BIT SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
JIT support is available for all of the 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit PCRE
libraries. To keep this documentation simple, only the 8-bit interface is
described in what follows. If you are using the 16-bit library, substitute the
16-bit functions and 16-bit structures (for example, <i>pcre16_jit_stack</i>
instead of <i>pcre_jit_stack</i>). If you are using the 32-bit library,
substitute the 32-bit functions and 32-bit structures (for example,
<i>pcre32_jit_stack</i> instead of <i>pcre_jit_stack</i>).
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">AVAILABILITY OF JIT SUPPORT</a><br>
<P>
JIT support is an optional feature of PCRE. The "configure" option --enable-jit
(or equivalent CMake option) must be set when PCRE is built if you want to use
JIT. The support is limited to the following hardware platforms:
<pre>
ARM v5, v7, and Thumb2
Intel x86 32-bit and 64-bit
MIPS 32-bit
Power PC 32-bit and 64-bit
SPARC 32-bit (experimental)
</pre>
If --enable-jit is set on an unsupported platform, compilation fails.
</P>
<P>
A program that is linked with PCRE 8.20 or later can tell if JIT support is
available by calling <b>pcre_config()</b> with the PCRE_CONFIG_JIT option. The
result is 1 when JIT is available, and 0 otherwise. However, a simple program
does not need to check this in order to use JIT. The normal API is implemented
in a way that falls back to the interpretive code if JIT is not available. For
programs that need the best possible performance, there is also a "fast path"
API that is JIT-specific.
</P>
<P>
If your program may sometimes be linked with versions of PCRE that are older
than 8.20, but you want to use JIT when it is available, you can test the
values of PCRE_MAJOR and PCRE_MINOR, or the existence of a JIT macro such as
PCRE_CONFIG_JIT, for compile-time control of your code. Also beware that the
<b>pcre_jit_exec()</b> function was not available at all before 8.32,
and may not be available at all if PCRE isn't compiled with
--enable-jit. See the "JIT FAST PATH API" section below for details.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">SIMPLE USE OF JIT</a><br>
<P>
You have to do two things to make use of the JIT support in the simplest way:
<pre>
(1) Call <b>pcre_study()</b> with the PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE option for
each compiled pattern, and pass the resulting <b>pcre_extra</b> block to
<b>pcre_exec()</b>.
(2) Use <b>pcre_free_study()</b> to free the <b>pcre_extra</b> block when it is
no longer needed, instead of just freeing it yourself. This ensures that
any JIT data is also freed.
</pre>
For a program that may be linked with pre-8.20 versions of PCRE, you can insert
<pre>
#ifndef PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE
#define PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE 0
#endif
</pre>
so that no option is passed to <b>pcre_study()</b>, and then use something like
this to free the study data:
<pre>
#ifdef PCRE_CONFIG_JIT
pcre_free_study(study_ptr);
#else
pcre_free(study_ptr);
#endif
</pre>
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE requests the JIT compiler to generate code for complete
matches. If you want to run partial matches using the PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD or
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT options of <b>pcre_exec()</b>, you should set one or both of
the following options in addition to, or instead of, PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE
when you call <b>pcre_study()</b>:
<pre>
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_PARTIAL_HARD_COMPILE
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_PARTIAL_SOFT_COMPILE
</pre>
If using <b>pcre_jit_exec()</b> and supporting a pre-8.32 version of
PCRE, you can insert:
<pre>
#if PCRE_MAJOR &#62;= 8 && PCRE_MINOR &#62;= 32
pcre_jit_exec(...);
#else
pcre_exec(...)
#endif
</pre>
but as described in the "JIT FAST PATH API" section below this assumes
version 8.32 and later are compiled with --enable-jit, which may
break.
<br>
<br>
The JIT compiler generates different optimized code for each of the three
modes (normal, soft partial, hard partial). When <b>pcre_exec()</b> is called,
the appropriate code is run if it is available. Otherwise, the pattern is
matched using interpretive code.
</P>
<P>
In some circumstances you may need to call additional functions. These are
described in the section entitled
<a href="#stackcontrol">"Controlling the JIT stack"</a>
below.
</P>
<P>
If JIT support is not available, PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE etc. are ignored, and
no JIT data is created. Otherwise, the compiled pattern is passed to the JIT
compiler, which turns it into machine code that executes much faster than the
normal interpretive code. When <b>pcre_exec()</b> is passed a <b>pcre_extra</b>
block containing a pointer to JIT code of the appropriate mode (normal or
hard/soft partial), it obeys that code instead of running the interpreter. The
result is identical, but the compiled JIT code runs much faster.
</P>
<P>
There are some <b>pcre_exec()</b> options that are not supported for JIT
execution. There are also some pattern items that JIT cannot handle. Details
are given below. In both cases, execution automatically falls back to the
interpretive code. If you want to know whether JIT was actually used for a
particular match, you should arrange for a JIT callback function to be set up
as described in the section entitled
<a href="#stackcontrol">"Controlling the JIT stack"</a>
below, even if you do not need to supply a non-default JIT stack. Such a
callback function is called whenever JIT code is about to be obeyed. If the
execution options are not right for JIT execution, the callback function is not
obeyed.
</P>
<P>
If the JIT compiler finds an unsupported item, no JIT data is generated. You
can find out if JIT execution is available after studying a pattern by calling
<b>pcre_fullinfo()</b> with the PCRE_INFO_JIT option. A result of 1 means that
JIT compilation was successful. A result of 0 means that JIT support is not
available, or the pattern was not studied with PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE etc., or
the JIT compiler was not able to handle the pattern.
</P>
<P>
Once a pattern has been studied, with or without JIT, it can be used as many
times as you like for matching different subject strings.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">UNSUPPORTED OPTIONS AND PATTERN ITEMS</a><br>
<P>
The only <b>pcre_exec()</b> options that are supported for JIT execution are
PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK, PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK, PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK, PCRE_NOTBOL,
PCRE_NOTEOL, PCRE_NOTEMPTY, PCRE_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART, PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD, and
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT.
</P>
<P>
The only unsupported pattern items are \C (match a single data unit) when
running in a UTF mode, and a callout immediately before an assertion condition
in a conditional group.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">RETURN VALUES FROM JIT EXECUTION</a><br>
<P>
When a pattern is matched using JIT execution, the return values are the same
as those given by the interpretive <b>pcre_exec()</b> code, with the addition of
one new error code: PCRE_ERROR_JIT_STACKLIMIT. This means that the memory used
for the JIT stack was insufficient. See
<a href="#stackcontrol">"Controlling the JIT stack"</a>
below for a discussion of JIT stack usage. For compatibility with the
interpretive <b>pcre_exec()</b> code, no more than two-thirds of the
<i>ovector</i> argument is used for passing back captured substrings.
</P>
<P>
The error code PCRE_ERROR_MATCHLIMIT is returned by the JIT code if searching a
very large pattern tree goes on for too long, as it is in the same circumstance
when JIT is not used, but the details of exactly what is counted are not the
same. The PCRE_ERROR_RECURSIONLIMIT error code is never returned by JIT
execution.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">SAVING AND RESTORING COMPILED PATTERNS</a><br>
<P>
The code that is generated by the JIT compiler is architecture-specific, and is
also position dependent. For those reasons it cannot be saved (in a file or
database) and restored later like the bytecode and other data of a compiled
pattern. Saving and restoring compiled patterns is not something many people
do. More detail about this facility is given in the
<a href="pcreprecompile.html"><b>pcreprecompile</b></a>
documentation. It should be possible to run <b>pcre_study()</b> on a saved and
restored pattern, and thereby recreate the JIT data, but because JIT
compilation uses significant resources, it is probably not worth doing this;
you might as well recompile the original pattern.
<a name="stackcontrol"></a></P>
<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">CONTROLLING THE JIT STACK</a><br>
<P>
When the compiled JIT code runs, it needs a block of memory to use as a stack.
By default, it uses 32K on the machine stack. However, some large or
complicated patterns need more than this. The error PCRE_ERROR_JIT_STACKLIMIT
is given when there is not enough stack. Three functions are provided for
managing blocks of memory for use as JIT stacks. There is further discussion
about the use of JIT stacks in the section entitled
<a href="#stackcontrol">"JIT stack FAQ"</a>
below.
</P>
<P>
The <b>pcre_jit_stack_alloc()</b> function creates a JIT stack. Its arguments
are a starting size and a maximum size, and it returns a pointer to an opaque
structure of type <b>pcre_jit_stack</b>, or NULL if there is an error. The
<b>pcre_jit_stack_free()</b> function can be used to free a stack that is no
longer needed. (For the technically minded: the address space is allocated by
mmap or VirtualAlloc.)
</P>
<P>
JIT uses far less memory for recursion than the interpretive code,
and a maximum stack size of 512K to 1M should be more than enough for any
pattern.
</P>
<P>
The <b>pcre_assign_jit_stack()</b> function specifies which stack JIT code
should use. Its arguments are as follows:
<pre>
pcre_extra *extra
pcre_jit_callback callback
void *data
</pre>
The <i>extra</i> argument must be the result of studying a pattern with
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE etc. There are three cases for the values of the other
two options:
<pre>
(1) If <i>callback</i> is NULL and <i>data</i> is NULL, an internal 32K block
on the machine stack is used.
(2) If <i>callback</i> is NULL and <i>data</i> is not NULL, <i>data</i> must be
a valid JIT stack, the result of calling <b>pcre_jit_stack_alloc()</b>.
(3) If <i>callback</i> is not NULL, it must point to a function that is
called with <i>data</i> as an argument at the start of matching, in
order to set up a JIT stack. If the return from the callback
function is NULL, the internal 32K stack is used; otherwise the
return value must be a valid JIT stack, the result of calling
<b>pcre_jit_stack_alloc()</b>.
</pre>
A callback function is obeyed whenever JIT code is about to be run; it is not
obeyed when <b>pcre_exec()</b> is called with options that are incompatible for
JIT execution. A callback function can therefore be used to determine whether a
match operation was executed by JIT or by the interpreter.
</P>
<P>
You may safely use the same JIT stack for more than one pattern (either by
assigning directly or by callback), as long as the patterns are all matched
sequentially in the same thread. In a multithread application, if you do not
specify a JIT stack, or if you assign or pass back NULL from a callback, that
is thread-safe, because each thread has its own machine stack. However, if you
assign or pass back a non-NULL JIT stack, this must be a different stack for
each thread so that the application is thread-safe.
</P>
<P>
Strictly speaking, even more is allowed. You can assign the same non-NULL stack
to any number of patterns as long as they are not used for matching by multiple
threads at the same time. For example, you can assign the same stack to all
compiled patterns, and use a global mutex in the callback to wait until the
stack is available for use. However, this is an inefficient solution, and not
recommended.
</P>
<P>
This is a suggestion for how a multithreaded program that needs to set up
non-default JIT stacks might operate:
<pre>
During thread initialization
thread_local_var = pcre_jit_stack_alloc(...)
During thread exit
pcre_jit_stack_free(thread_local_var)
Use a one-line callback function
return thread_local_var
</pre>
All the functions described in this section do nothing if JIT is not available,
and <b>pcre_assign_jit_stack()</b> does nothing unless the <b>extra</b> argument
is non-NULL and points to a <b>pcre_extra</b> block that is the result of a
successful study with PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE etc.
<a name="stackfaq"></a></P>
<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">JIT STACK FAQ</a><br>
<P>
(1) Why do we need JIT stacks?
<br>
<br>
PCRE (and JIT) is a recursive, depth-first engine, so it needs a stack where
the local data of the current node is pushed before checking its child nodes.
Allocating real machine stack on some platforms is difficult. For example, the
stack chain needs to be updated every time if we extend the stack on PowerPC.
Although it is possible, its updating time overhead decreases performance. So
we do the recursion in memory.
</P>
<P>
(2) Why don't we simply allocate blocks of memory with <b>malloc()</b>?
<br>
<br>
Modern operating systems have a nice feature: they can reserve an address space
instead of allocating memory. We can safely allocate memory pages inside this
address space, so the stack could grow without moving memory data (this is
important because of pointers). Thus we can allocate 1M address space, and use
only a single memory page (usually 4K) if that is enough. However, we can still
grow up to 1M anytime if needed.
</P>
<P>
(3) Who "owns" a JIT stack?
<br>
<br>
The owner of the stack is the user program, not the JIT studied pattern or
anything else. The user program must ensure that if a stack is used by
<b>pcre_exec()</b>, (that is, it is assigned to the pattern currently running),
that stack must not be used by any other threads (to avoid overwriting the same
memory area). The best practice for multithreaded programs is to allocate a
stack for each thread, and return this stack through the JIT callback function.
</P>
<P>
(4) When should a JIT stack be freed?
<br>
<br>
You can free a JIT stack at any time, as long as it will not be used by
<b>pcre_exec()</b> again. When you assign the stack to a pattern, only a pointer
is set. There is no reference counting or any other magic. You can free the
patterns and stacks in any order, anytime. Just <i>do not</i> call
<b>pcre_exec()</b> with a pattern pointing to an already freed stack, as that
will cause SEGFAULT. (Also, do not free a stack currently used by
<b>pcre_exec()</b> in another thread). You can also replace the stack for a
pattern at any time. You can even free the previous stack before assigning a
replacement.
</P>
<P>
(5) Should I allocate/free a stack every time before/after calling
<b>pcre_exec()</b>?
<br>
<br>
No, because this is too costly in terms of resources. However, you could
implement some clever idea which release the stack if it is not used in let's
say two minutes. The JIT callback can help to achieve this without keeping a
list of the currently JIT studied patterns.
</P>
<P>
(6) OK, the stack is for long term memory allocation. But what happens if a
pattern causes stack overflow with a stack of 1M? Is that 1M kept until the
stack is freed?
<br>
<br>
Especially on embedded sytems, it might be a good idea to release memory
sometimes without freeing the stack. There is no API for this at the moment.
Probably a function call which returns with the currently allocated memory for
any stack and another which allows releasing memory (shrinking the stack) would
be a good idea if someone needs this.
</P>
<P>
(7) This is too much of a headache. Isn't there any better solution for JIT
stack handling?
<br>
<br>
No, thanks to Windows. If POSIX threads were used everywhere, we could throw
out this complicated API.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC10" href="#TOC1">EXAMPLE CODE</a><br>
<P>
This is a single-threaded example that specifies a JIT stack without using a
callback.
<pre>
int rc;
int ovector[30];
pcre *re;
pcre_extra *extra;
pcre_jit_stack *jit_stack;
re = pcre_compile(pattern, 0, &error, &erroffset, NULL);
/* Check for errors */
extra = pcre_study(re, PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE, &error);
jit_stack = pcre_jit_stack_alloc(32*1024, 512*1024);
/* Check for error (NULL) */
pcre_assign_jit_stack(extra, NULL, jit_stack);
rc = pcre_exec(re, extra, subject, length, 0, 0, ovector, 30);
/* Check results */
pcre_free(re);
pcre_free_study(extra);
pcre_jit_stack_free(jit_stack);
</PRE>
</P>
<br><a name="SEC11" href="#TOC1">JIT FAST PATH API</a><br>
<P>
Because the API described above falls back to interpreted execution when JIT is
not available, it is convenient for programs that are written for general use
in many environments. However, calling JIT via <b>pcre_exec()</b> does have a
performance impact. Programs that are written for use where JIT is known to be
available, and which need the best possible performance, can instead use a
"fast path" API to call JIT execution directly instead of calling
<b>pcre_exec()</b> (obviously only for patterns that have been successfully
studied by JIT).
</P>
<P>
The fast path function is called <b>pcre_jit_exec()</b>, and it takes exactly
the same arguments as <b>pcre_exec()</b>, plus one additional argument that
must point to a JIT stack. The JIT stack arrangements described above do not
apply. The return values are the same as for <b>pcre_exec()</b>.
</P>
<P>
When you call <b>pcre_exec()</b>, as well as testing for invalid options, a
number of other sanity checks are performed on the arguments. For example, if
the subject pointer is NULL, or its length is negative, an immediate error is
given. Also, unless PCRE_NO_UTF[8|16|32] is set, a UTF subject string is tested
for validity. In the interests of speed, these checks do not happen on the JIT
fast path, and if invalid data is passed, the result is undefined.
</P>
<P>
Bypassing the sanity checks and the <b>pcre_exec()</b> wrapping can give
speedups of more than 10%.
</P>
<P>
Note that the <b>pcre_jit_exec()</b> function is not available in versions of
PCRE before 8.32 (released in November 2012). If you need to support versions
that old you must either use the slower <b>pcre_exec()</b>, or switch between
the two codepaths by checking the values of PCRE_MAJOR and PCRE_MINOR.
</P>
<P>
Due to an unfortunate implementation oversight, even in versions 8.32
and later there will be no <b>pcre_jit_exec()</b> stub function defined
when PCRE is compiled with --disable-jit, which is the default, and
there's no way to detect whether PCRE was compiled with --enable-jit
via a macro.
</P>
<P>
If you need to support versions older than 8.32, or versions that may
not build with --enable-jit, you must either use the slower
<b>pcre_exec()</b>, or switch between the two codepaths by checking the
values of PCRE_MAJOR and PCRE_MINOR.
</P>
<P>
Switching between the two by checking the version assumes that all the
versions being targeted are built with --enable-jit. To also support
builds that may use --disable-jit either <b>pcre_exec()</b> must be
used, or a compile-time check for JIT via <b>pcre_config()</b> (which
assumes the runtime environment will be the same), or as the Git
project decided to do, simply assume that <b>pcre_jit_exec()</b> is
present in 8.32 or later unless a compile-time flag is provided, see
the "grep: un-break building with PCRE &#62;= 8.32 without --enable-jit"
commit in git.git for an example of that.

<br><b>
SIZE AND OTHER LIMITATIONS
</b><br>
<P>
There are some size limitations in PCRE but it is hoped that they will never in
practice be relevant.
</P>
<P>
The maximum length of a compiled pattern is approximately 64K data units (bytes
for the 8-bit library, 16-bit units for the 16-bit library, and 32-bit units for
the 32-bit library) if PCRE is compiled with the default internal linkage size,
which is 2 bytes for the 8-bit and 16-bit libraries, and 4 bytes for the 32-bit
library. If you want to process regular expressions that are truly enormous,
you can compile PCRE with an internal linkage size of 3 or 4 (when building the
16-bit or 32-bit library, 3 is rounded up to 4). See the <b>README</b> file in
the source distribution and the
<a href="pcrebuild.html"><b>pcrebuild</b></a>
documentation for details. In these cases the limit is substantially larger.
However, the speed of execution is slower.
</P>
<P>
All values in repeating quantifiers must be less than 65536.
</P>
<P>
There is no limit to the number of parenthesized subpatterns, but there can be
no more than 65535 capturing subpatterns. There is, however, a limit to the
depth of nesting of parenthesized subpatterns of all kinds. This is imposed in
order to limit the amount of system stack used at compile time. The limit can
be specified when PCRE is built; the default is 250.
</P>
<P>
There is a limit to the number of forward references to subsequent subpatterns
of around 200,000. Repeated forward references with fixed upper limits, for
example, (?2){0,100} when subpattern number 2 is to the right, are included in
the count. There is no limit to the number of backward references.
</P>
<P>
The maximum length of name for a named subpattern is 32 characters, and the
maximum number of named subpatterns is 10000.
</P>
<P>
The maximum length of a name in a (*MARK), (*PRUNE), (*SKIP), or (*THEN) verb
is 255 for the 8-bit library and 65535 for the 16-bit and 32-bit libraries.
</P>
<P>
The maximum length of a subject string is the largest positive number that an
integer variable can hold. However, when using the traditional matching
function, PCRE uses recursion to handle subpatterns and indefinite repetition.
This means that the available stack space may limit the size of a subject
string that can be processed by certain patterns. For a discussion of stack
issues, see the
<a href="pcrestack.html"><b>pcrestack</b></a>
documentation.

<br><a name="SEC1" href="#TOC1">PCRE MATCHING ALGORITHMS</a><br>
<P>
This document describes the two different algorithms that are available in PCRE
for matching a compiled regular expression against a given subject string. The
"standard" algorithm is the one provided by the <b>pcre_exec()</b>,
<b>pcre16_exec()</b> and <b>pcre32_exec()</b> functions. These work in the same
as as Perl's matching function, and provide a Perl-compatible matching operation.
The just-in-time (JIT) optimization that is described in the
<a href="pcrejit.html"><b>pcrejit</b></a>
documentation is compatible with these functions.
</P>
<P>
An alternative algorithm is provided by the <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>,
<b>pcre16_dfa_exec()</b> and <b>pcre32_dfa_exec()</b> functions; they operate in
a different way, and are not Perl-compatible. This alternative has advantages
and disadvantages compared with the standard algorithm, and these are described
below.
</P>
<P>
When there is only one possible way in which a given subject string can match a
pattern, the two algorithms give the same answer. A difference arises, however,
when there are multiple possibilities. For example, if the pattern
<pre>
^&#60;.*&#62;
</pre>
is matched against the string
<pre>
&#60;something&#62; &#60;something else&#62; &#60;something further&#62;
</pre>
there are three possible answers. The standard algorithm finds only one of
them, whereas the alternative algorithm finds all three.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">REGULAR EXPRESSIONS AS TREES</a><br>
<P>
The set of strings that are matched by a regular expression can be represented
as a tree structure. An unlimited repetition in the pattern makes the tree of
infinite size, but it is still a tree. Matching the pattern to a given subject
string (from a given starting point) can be thought of as a search of the tree.
There are two ways to search a tree: depth-first and breadth-first, and these
correspond to the two matching algorithms provided by PCRE.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">THE STANDARD MATCHING ALGORITHM</a><br>
<P>
In the terminology of Jeffrey Friedl's book "Mastering Regular
Expressions", the standard algorithm is an "NFA algorithm". It conducts a
depth-first search of the pattern tree. That is, it proceeds along a single
path through the tree, checking that the subject matches what is required. When
there is a mismatch, the algorithm tries any alternatives at the current point,
and if they all fail, it backs up to the previous branch point in the tree, and
tries the next alternative branch at that level. This often involves backing up
(moving to the left) in the subject string as well. The order in which
repetition branches are tried is controlled by the greedy or ungreedy nature of
the quantifier.
</P>
<P>
If a leaf node is reached, a matching string has been found, and at that point
the algorithm stops. Thus, if there is more than one possible match, this
algorithm returns the first one that it finds. Whether this is the shortest,
the longest, or some intermediate length depends on the way the greedy and
ungreedy repetition quantifiers are specified in the pattern.
</P>
<P>
Because it ends up with a single path through the tree, it is relatively
straightforward for this algorithm to keep track of the substrings that are
matched by portions of the pattern in parentheses. This provides support for
capturing parentheses and back references.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">THE ALTERNATIVE MATCHING ALGORITHM</a><br>
<P>
This algorithm conducts a breadth-first search of the tree. Starting from the
first matching point in the subject, it scans the subject string from left to
right, once, character by character, and as it does this, it remembers all the
paths through the tree that represent valid matches. In Friedl's terminology,
this is a kind of "DFA algorithm", though it is not implemented as a
traditional finite state machine (it keeps multiple states active
simultaneously).
</P>
<P>
Although the general principle of this matching algorithm is that it scans the
subject string only once, without backtracking, there is one exception: when a
lookaround assertion is encountered, the characters following or preceding the
current point have to be independently inspected.
</P>
<P>
The scan continues until either the end of the subject is reached, or there are
no more unterminated paths. At this point, terminated paths represent the
different matching possibilities (if there are none, the match has failed).
Thus, if there is more than one possible match, this algorithm finds all of
them, and in particular, it finds the longest. The matches are returned in
decreasing order of length. There is an option to stop the algorithm after the
first match (which is necessarily the shortest) is found.
</P>
<P>
Note that all the matches that are found start at the same point in the
subject. If the pattern
<pre>
cat(er(pillar)?)?
</pre>
is matched against the string "the caterpillar catchment", the result will be
the three strings "caterpillar", "cater", and "cat" that start at the fifth
character of the subject. The algorithm does not automatically move on to find
matches that start at later positions.
</P>
<P>
PCRE's "auto-possessification" optimization usually applies to character
repeats at the end of a pattern (as well as internally). For example, the
pattern "a\d+" is compiled as if it were "a\d++" because there is no point
even considering the possibility of backtracking into the repeated digits. For
DFA matching, this means that only one possible match is found. If you really
do want multiple matches in such cases, either use an ungreedy repeat
("a\d+?") or set the PCRE_NO_AUTO_POSSESS option when compiling.
</P>
<P>
There are a number of features of PCRE regular expressions that are not
supported by the alternative matching algorithm. They are as follows:
</P>
<P>
1. Because the algorithm finds all possible matches, the greedy or ungreedy
nature of repetition quantifiers is not relevant. Greedy and ungreedy
quantifiers are treated in exactly the same way. However, possessive
quantifiers can make a difference when what follows could also match what is
quantified, for example in a pattern like this:
<pre>
^a++\w!
</pre>
This pattern matches "aaab!" but not "aaa!", which would be matched by a
non-possessive quantifier. Similarly, if an atomic group is present, it is
matched as if it were a standalone pattern at the current point, and the
longest match is then "locked in" for the rest of the overall pattern.
</P>
<P>
2. When dealing with multiple paths through the tree simultaneously, it is not
straightforward to keep track of captured substrings for the different matching
possibilities, and PCRE's implementation of this algorithm does not attempt to
do this. This means that no captured substrings are available.
</P>
<P>
3. Because no substrings are captured, back references within the pattern are
not supported, and cause errors if encountered.
</P>
<P>
4. For the same reason, conditional expressions that use a backreference as the
condition or test for a specific group recursion are not supported.
</P>
<P>
5. Because many paths through the tree may be active, the \K escape sequence,
which resets the start of the match when encountered (but may be on some paths
and not on others), is not supported. It causes an error if encountered.
</P>
<P>
6. Callouts are supported, but the value of the <i>capture_top</i> field is
always 1, and the value of the <i>capture_last</i> field is always -1.
</P>
<P>
7. The \C escape sequence, which (in the standard algorithm) always matches a
single data unit, even in UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32 modes, is not supported in
these modes, because the alternative algorithm moves through the subject string
one character (not data unit) at a time, for all active paths through the tree.
</P>
<P>
8. Except for (*FAIL), the backtracking control verbs such as (*PRUNE) are not
supported. (*FAIL) is supported, and behaves like a failing negative assertion.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">ADVANTAGES OF THE ALTERNATIVE ALGORITHM</a><br>
<P>
Using the alternative matching algorithm provides the following advantages:
</P>
<P>
1. All possible matches (at a single point in the subject) are automatically
found, and in particular, the longest match is found. To find more than one
match using the standard algorithm, you have to do kludgy things with
callouts.
</P>
<P>
2. Because the alternative algorithm scans the subject string just once, and
never needs to backtrack (except for lookbehinds), it is possible to pass very
long subject strings to the matching function in several pieces, checking for
partial matching each time. Although it is possible to do multi-segment
matching using the standard algorithm by retaining partially matched
substrings, it is more complicated. The
<a href="pcrepartial.html"><b>pcrepartial</b></a>
documentation gives details of partial matching and discusses multi-segment
matching.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">DISADVANTAGES OF THE ALTERNATIVE ALGORITHM</a><br>
<P>
The alternative algorithm suffers from a number of disadvantages:
</P>
<P>
1. It is substantially slower than the standard algorithm. This is partly
because it has to search for all possible matches, but is also because it is
less susceptible to optimization.
</P>
<P>
2. Capturing parentheses and back references are not supported.
</P>
<P>
3. Although atomic groups are supported, their use does not provide the
performance advantage that it does for the standard algorithm.

<br><a name="SEC1" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHING IN PCRE</a><br>
<P>
In normal use of PCRE, if the subject string that is passed to a matching
function matches as far as it goes, but is too short to match the entire
pattern, PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH is returned. There are circumstances where it might
be helpful to distinguish this case from other cases in which there is no
match.
</P>
<P>
Consider, for example, an application where a human is required to type in data
for a field with specific formatting requirements. An example might be a date
in the form <i>ddmmmyy</i>, defined by this pattern:
<pre>
^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$
</pre>
If the application sees the user's keystrokes one by one, and can check that
what has been typed so far is potentially valid, it is able to raise an error
as soon as a mistake is made, by beeping and not reflecting the character that
has been typed, for example. This immediate feedback is likely to be a better
user interface than a check that is delayed until the entire string has been
entered. Partial matching can also be useful when the subject string is very
long and is not all available at once.
</P>
<P>
PCRE supports partial matching by means of the PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT and
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD options, which can be set when calling any of the matching
functions. For backwards compatibility, PCRE_PARTIAL is a synonym for
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT. The essential difference between the two options is whether
or not a partial match is preferred to an alternative complete match, though
the details differ between the two types of matching function. If both options
are set, PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD takes precedence.
</P>
<P>
If you want to use partial matching with just-in-time optimized code, you must
call <b>pcre_study()</b>, <b>pcre16_study()</b> or <b>pcre32_study()</b> with one
or both of these options:
<pre>
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_PARTIAL_SOFT_COMPILE
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_PARTIAL_HARD_COMPILE
</pre>
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE should also be set if you are going to run non-partial
matches on the same pattern. If the appropriate JIT study mode has not been set
for a match, the interpretive matching code is used.
</P>
<P>
Setting a partial matching option disables two of PCRE's standard
optimizations. PCRE remembers the last literal data unit in a pattern, and
abandons matching immediately if it is not present in the subject string. This
optimization cannot be used for a subject string that might match only
partially. If the pattern was studied, PCRE knows the minimum length of a
matching string, and does not bother to run the matching function on shorter
strings. This optimization is also disabled for partial matching.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHING USING pcre_exec() OR pcre[16|32]_exec()</a><br>
<P>
A partial match occurs during a call to <b>pcre_exec()</b> or
<b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> when the end of the subject string is reached
successfully, but matching cannot continue because more characters are needed.
However, at least one character in the subject must have been inspected. This
character need not form part of the final matched string; lookbehind assertions
and the \K escape sequence provide ways of inspecting characters before the
start of a matched substring. The requirement for inspecting at least one
character exists because an empty string can always be matched; without such a
restriction there would always be a partial match of an empty string at the end
of the subject.
</P>
<P>
If there are at least two slots in the offsets vector when a partial match is
returned, the first slot is set to the offset of the earliest character that
was inspected. For convenience, the second offset points to the end of the
subject so that a substring can easily be identified. If there are at least
three slots in the offsets vector, the third slot is set to the offset of the
character where matching started.
</P>
<P>
For the majority of patterns, the contents of the first and third slots will be
the same. However, for patterns that contain lookbehind assertions, or begin
with \b or \B, characters before the one where matching started may have been
inspected while carrying out the match. For example, consider this pattern:
<pre>
/(?&#60;=abc)123/
</pre>
This pattern matches "123", but only if it is preceded by "abc". If the subject
string is "xyzabc12", the first two offsets after a partial match are for the
substring "abc12", because all these characters were inspected. However, the
third offset is set to 6, because that is the offset where matching began.
</P>
<P>
What happens when a partial match is identified depends on which of the two
partial matching options are set.
</P>
<br><b>
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT WITH pcre_exec() OR pcre[16|32]_exec()
</b><br>
<P>
If PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT is set when <b>pcre_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>
identifies a partial match, the partial match is remembered, but matching
continues as normal, and other alternatives in the pattern are tried. If no
complete match can be found, PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL is returned instead of
PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH.
</P>
<P>
This option is "soft" because it prefers a complete match over a partial match.
All the various matching items in a pattern behave as if the subject string is
potentially complete. For example, \z, \Z, and $ match at the end of the
subject, as normal, and for \b and \B the end of the subject is treated as a
non-alphanumeric.
</P>
<P>
If there is more than one partial match, the first one that was found provides
the data that is returned. Consider this pattern:
<pre>
/123\w+X|dogY/
</pre>
If this is matched against the subject string "abc123dog", both
alternatives fail to match, but the end of the subject is reached during
matching, so PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL is returned. The offsets are set to 3 and 9,
identifying "123dog" as the first partial match that was found. (In this
example, there are two partial matches, because "dog" on its own partially
matches the second alternative.)
</P>
<br><b>
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD WITH pcre_exec() OR pcre[16|32]_exec()
</b><br>
<P>
If PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set for <b>pcre_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>,
PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL is returned as soon as a partial match is found, without
continuing to search for possible complete matches. This option is "hard"
because it prefers an earlier partial match over a later complete match. For
this reason, the assumption is made that the end of the supplied subject string
may not be the true end of the available data, and so, if \z, \Z, \b, \B,
or $ are encountered at the end of the subject, the result is
PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL, provided that at least one character in the subject has
been inspected.
</P>
<P>
Setting PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD also affects the way UTF-8 and UTF-16
subject strings are checked for validity. Normally, an invalid sequence
causes the error PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF8 or PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF16. However, in the
special case of a truncated character at the end of the subject,
PCRE_ERROR_SHORTUTF8 or PCRE_ERROR_SHORTUTF16 is returned when
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set.
</P>
<br><b>
Comparing hard and soft partial matching
</b><br>
<P>
The difference between the two partial matching options can be illustrated by a
pattern such as:
<pre>
/dog(sbody)?/
</pre>
This matches either "dog" or "dogsbody", greedily (that is, it prefers the
longer string if possible). If it is matched against the string "dog" with
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT, it yields a complete match for "dog". However, if
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set, the result is PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL. On the other hand,
if the pattern is made ungreedy the result is different:
<pre>
/dog(sbody)??/
</pre>
In this case the result is always a complete match because that is found first,
and matching never continues after finding a complete match. It might be easier
to follow this explanation by thinking of the two patterns like this:
<pre>
/dog(sbody)?/ is the same as /dogsbody|dog/
/dog(sbody)??/ is the same as /dog|dogsbody/
</pre>
The second pattern will never match "dogsbody", because it will always find the
shorter match first.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHING USING pcre_dfa_exec() OR pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</a><br>
<P>
The DFA functions move along the subject string character by character, without
backtracking, searching for all possible matches simultaneously. If the end of
the subject is reached before the end of the pattern, there is the possibility
of a partial match, again provided that at least one character has been
inspected.
</P>
<P>
When PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT is set, PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL is returned only if there
have been no complete matches. Otherwise, the complete matches are returned.
However, if PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set, a partial match takes precedence over any
complete matches. The portion of the string that was inspected when the longest
partial match was found is set as the first matching string, provided there are
at least two slots in the offsets vector.
</P>
<P>
Because the DFA functions always search for all possible matches, and there is
no difference between greedy and ungreedy repetition, their behaviour is
different from the standard functions when PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set. Consider
the string "dog" matched against the ungreedy pattern shown above:
<pre>
/dog(sbody)??/
</pre>
Whereas the standard functions stop as soon as they find the complete match for
"dog", the DFA functions also find the partial match for "dogsbody", and so
return that when PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHING AND WORD BOUNDARIES</a><br>
<P>
If a pattern ends with one of sequences \b or \B, which test for word
boundaries, partial matching with PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT can give counter-intuitive
results. Consider this pattern:
<pre>
/\bcat\b/
</pre>
This matches "cat", provided there is a word boundary at either end. If the
subject string is "the cat", the comparison of the final "t" with a following
character cannot take place, so a partial match is found. However, normal
matching carries on, and \b matches at the end of the subject when the last
character is a letter, so a complete match is found. The result, therefore, is
<i>not</i> PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL. Using PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD in this case does yield
PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL, because then the partial match takes precedence.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">FORMERLY RESTRICTED PATTERNS</a><br>
<P>
For releases of PCRE prior to 8.00, because of the way certain internal
optimizations were implemented in the <b>pcre_exec()</b> function, the
PCRE_PARTIAL option (predecessor of PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT) could not be used with
all patterns. From release 8.00 onwards, the restrictions no longer apply, and
partial matching with can be requested for any pattern.
</P>
<P>
Items that were formerly restricted were repeated single characters and
repeated metasequences. If PCRE_PARTIAL was set for a pattern that did not
conform to the restrictions, <b>pcre_exec()</b> returned the error code
PCRE_ERROR_BADPARTIAL (-13). This error code is no longer in use. The
PCRE_INFO_OKPARTIAL call to <b>pcre_fullinfo()</b> to find out if a compiled
pattern can be used for partial matching now always returns 1.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">EXAMPLE OF PARTIAL MATCHING USING PCRETEST</a><br>
<P>
If the escape sequence \P is present in a <b>pcretest</b> data line, the
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT option is used for the match. Here is a run of <b>pcretest</b>
that uses the date example quoted above:
<pre>
re&#62; /^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$/
data&#62; 25jun04\P
0: 25jun04
1: jun
data&#62; 25dec3\P
Partial match: 23dec3
data&#62; 3ju\P
Partial match: 3ju
data&#62; 3juj\P
No match
data&#62; j\P
No match
</pre>
The first data string is matched completely, so <b>pcretest</b> shows the
matched substrings. The remaining four strings do not match the complete
pattern, but the first two are partial matches. Similar output is obtained
if DFA matching is used.
</P>
<P>
If the escape sequence \P is present more than once in a <b>pcretest</b> data
line, the PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD option is set for the match.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">MULTI-SEGMENT MATCHING WITH pcre_dfa_exec() OR pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</a><br>
<P>
When a partial match has been found using a DFA matching function, it is
possible to continue the match by providing additional subject data and calling
the function again with the same compiled regular expression, this time setting
the PCRE_DFA_RESTART option. You must pass the same working space as before,
because this is where details of the previous partial match are stored. Here is
an example using <b>pcretest</b>, using the \R escape sequence to set the
PCRE_DFA_RESTART option (\D specifies the use of the DFA matching function):
<pre>
re&#62; /^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$/
data&#62; 23ja\P\D
Partial match: 23ja
data&#62; n05\R\D
0: n05
</pre>
The first call has "23ja" as the subject, and requests partial matching; the
second call has "n05" as the subject for the continued (restarted) match.
Notice that when the match is complete, only the last part is shown; PCRE does
not retain the previously partially-matched string. It is up to the calling
program to do that if it needs to.
</P>
<P>
That means that, for an unanchored pattern, if a continued match fails, it is
not possible to try again at a new starting point. All this facility is capable
of doing is continuing with the previous match attempt. In the previous
example, if the second set of data is "ug23" the result is no match, even
though there would be a match for "aug23" if the entire string were given at
once. Depending on the application, this may or may not be what you want.
The only way to allow for starting again at the next character is to retain the
matched part of the subject and try a new complete match.
</P>
<P>
You can set the PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT or PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD options with
PCRE_DFA_RESTART to continue partial matching over multiple segments. This
facility can be used to pass very long subject strings to the DFA matching
functions.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">MULTI-SEGMENT MATCHING WITH pcre_exec() OR pcre[16|32]_exec()</a><br>
<P>
From release 8.00, the standard matching functions can also be used to do
multi-segment matching. Unlike the DFA functions, it is not possible to
restart the previous match with a new segment of data. Instead, new data must
be added to the previous subject string, and the entire match re-run, starting
from the point where the partial match occurred. Earlier data can be discarded.
</P>
<P>
It is best to use PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD in this situation, because it does not
treat the end of a segment as the end of the subject when matching \z, \Z,
\b, \B, and $. Consider an unanchored pattern that matches dates:
<pre>
re&#62; /\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d/
data&#62; The date is 23ja\P\P
Partial match: 23ja
</pre>
At this stage, an application could discard the text preceding "23ja", add on
text from the next segment, and call the matching function again. Unlike the
DFA matching functions, the entire matching string must always be available,
and the complete matching process occurs for each call, so more memory and more
processing time is needed.
</P>
<P>
<b>Note:</b> If the pattern contains lookbehind assertions, or \K, or starts
with \b or \B, the string that is returned for a partial match includes
characters that precede the start of what would be returned for a complete
match, because it contains all the characters that were inspected during the
partial match.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">ISSUES WITH MULTI-SEGMENT MATCHING</a><br>
<P>
Certain types of pattern may give problems with multi-segment matching,
whichever matching function is used.
</P>
<P>
1. If the pattern contains a test for the beginning of a line, you need to pass
the PCRE_NOTBOL option when the subject string for any call does start at the
beginning of a line. There is also a PCRE_NOTEOL option, but in practice when
doing multi-segment matching you should be using PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD, which
includes the effect of PCRE_NOTEOL.
</P>
<P>
2. Lookbehind assertions that have already been obeyed are catered for in the
offsets that are returned for a partial match. However a lookbehind assertion
later in the pattern could require even earlier characters to be inspected. You
can handle this case by using the PCRE_INFO_MAXLOOKBEHIND option of the
<b>pcre_fullinfo()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_fullinfo()</b> functions to obtain the
length of the longest lookbehind in the pattern. This length is given in
characters, not bytes. If you always retain at least that many characters
before the partially matched string, all should be well. (Of course, near the
start of the subject, fewer characters may be present; in that case all
characters should be retained.)
</P>
<P>
From release 8.33, there is a more accurate way of deciding which characters to
retain. Instead of subtracting the length of the longest lookbehind from the
earliest inspected character (<i>offsets[0]</i>), the match start position
(<i>offsets[2]</i>) should be used, and the next match attempt started at the
<i>offsets[2]</i> character by setting the <i>startoffset</i> argument of
<b>pcre_exec()</b> or <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>.
</P>
<P>
For example, if the pattern "(?&#60;=123)abc" is partially
matched against the string "xx123a", the three offset values returned are 2, 6,
and 5. This indicates that the matching process that gave a partial match
started at offset 5, but the characters "123a" were all inspected. The maximum
lookbehind for that pattern is 3, so taking that away from 5 shows that we need
only keep "123a", and the next match attempt can be started at offset 3 (that
is, at "a") when further characters have been added. When the match start is
not the earliest inspected character, <b>pcretest</b> shows it explicitly:
<pre>
re&#62; "(?&#60;=123)abc"
data&#62; xx123a\P\P
Partial match at offset 5: 123a
</PRE>
</P>
<P>
3. Because a partial match must always contain at least one character, what
might be considered a partial match of an empty string actually gives a "no
match" result. For example:
<pre>
re&#62; /c(?&#60;=abc)x/
data&#62; ab\P
No match
</pre>
If the next segment begins "cx", a match should be found, but this will only
happen if characters from the previous segment are retained. For this reason, a
"no match" result should be interpreted as "partial match of an empty string"
when the pattern contains lookbehinds.
</P>
<P>
4. Matching a subject string that is split into multiple segments may not
always produce exactly the same result as matching over one single long string,
especially when PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT is used. The section "Partial Matching and
Word Boundaries" above describes an issue that arises if the pattern ends with
\b or \B. Another kind of difference may occur when there are multiple
matching possibilities, because (for PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT) a partial match result
is given only when there are no completed matches. This means that as soon as
the shortest match has been found, continuation to a new subject segment is no
longer possible. Consider again this <b>pcretest</b> example:
<pre>
re&#62; /dog(sbody)?/
data&#62; dogsb\P
0: dog
data&#62; do\P\D
Partial match: do
data&#62; gsb\R\P\D
0: g
data&#62; dogsbody\D
0: dogsbody
1: dog
</pre>
The first data line passes the string "dogsb" to a standard matching function,
setting the PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT option. Although the string is a partial match
for "dogsbody", the result is not PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL, because the shorter
string "dog" is a complete match. Similarly, when the subject is presented to
a DFA matching function in several parts ("do" and "gsb" being the first two)
the match stops when "dog" has been found, and it is not possible to continue.
On the other hand, if "dogsbody" is presented as a single string, a DFA
matching function finds both matches.
</P>
<P>
Because of these problems, it is best to use PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD when matching
multi-segment data. The example above then behaves differently:
<pre>
re&#62; /dog(sbody)?/
data&#62; dogsb\P\P
Partial match: dogsb
data&#62; do\P\D
Partial match: do
data&#62; gsb\R\P\P\D
Partial match: gsb
</pre>
5. Patterns that contain alternatives at the top level which do not all start
with the same pattern item may not work as expected when PCRE_DFA_RESTART is
used. For example, consider this pattern:
<pre>
1234|3789
</pre>
If the first part of the subject is "ABC123", a partial match of the first
alternative is found at offset 3. There is no partial match for the second
alternative, because such a match does not start at the same point in the
subject string. Attempting to continue with the string "7890" does not yield a
match because only those alternatives that match at one point in the subject
are remembered. The problem arises because the start of the second alternative
matches within the first alternative. There is no problem with anchored
patterns or patterns such as:
<pre>
1234|ABCD
</pre>
where no string can be a partial match for both alternatives. This is not a
problem if a standard matching function is used, because the entire match has
to be rerun each time:
<pre>
re&#62; /1234|3789/
data&#62; ABC123\P\P
Partial match: 123
data&#62; 1237890
0: 3789
</pre>
Of course, instead of using PCRE_DFA_RESTART, the same technique of re-running
the entire match can also be used with the DFA matching functions. Another
possibility is to work with two buffers. If a partial match at offset <i>n</i>
in the first buffer is followed by "no match" when PCRE_DFA_RESTART is used on
the second buffer, you can then try a new match starting at offset <i>n+1</i> in
the first buffer.

<br><b>
PCRE PERFORMANCE
</b><br>
<P>
Two aspects of performance are discussed below: memory usage and processing
time. The way you express your pattern as a regular expression can affect both
of them.
</P>
<br><b>
COMPILED PATTERN MEMORY USAGE
</b><br>
<P>
Patterns are compiled by PCRE into a reasonably efficient interpretive code, so
that most simple patterns do not use much memory. However, there is one case
where the memory usage of a compiled pattern can be unexpectedly large. If a
parenthesized subpattern has a quantifier with a minimum greater than 1 and/or
a limited maximum, the whole subpattern is repeated in the compiled code. For
example, the pattern
<pre>
(abc|def){2,4}
</pre>
is compiled as if it were
<pre>
(abc|def)(abc|def)((abc|def)(abc|def)?)?
</pre>
(Technical aside: It is done this way so that backtrack points within each of
the repetitions can be independently maintained.)
</P>
<P>
For regular expressions whose quantifiers use only small numbers, this is not
usually a problem. However, if the numbers are large, and particularly if such
repetitions are nested, the memory usage can become an embarrassment. For
example, the very simple pattern
<pre>
((ab){1,1000}c){1,3}
</pre>
uses 51K bytes when compiled using the 8-bit library. When PCRE is compiled
with its default internal pointer size of two bytes, the size limit on a
compiled pattern is 64K data units, and this is reached with the above pattern
if the outer repetition is increased from 3 to 4. PCRE can be compiled to use
larger internal pointers and thus handle larger compiled patterns, but it is
better to try to rewrite your pattern to use less memory if you can.
</P>
<P>
One way of reducing the memory usage for such patterns is to make use of PCRE's
<a href="pcrepattern.html#subpatternsassubroutines">"subroutine"</a>
facility. Re-writing the above pattern as
<pre>
((ab)(?2){0,999}c)(?1){0,2}
</pre>
reduces the memory requirements to 18K, and indeed it remains under 20K even
with the outer repetition increased to 100. However, this pattern is not
exactly equivalent, because the "subroutine" calls are treated as
<a href="pcrepattern.html#atomicgroup">atomic groups</a>
into which there can be no backtracking if there is a subsequent matching
failure. Therefore, PCRE cannot do this kind of rewriting automatically.
Furthermore, there is a noticeable loss of speed when executing the modified
pattern. Nevertheless, if the atomic grouping is not a problem and the loss of
speed is acceptable, this kind of rewriting will allow you to process patterns
that PCRE cannot otherwise handle.
</P>
<br><b>
STACK USAGE AT RUN TIME
</b><br>
<P>
When <b>pcre_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> is used for matching, certain
kinds of pattern can cause it to use large amounts of the process stack. In
some environments the default process stack is quite small, and if it runs out
the result is often SIGSEGV. This issue is probably the most frequently raised
problem with PCRE. Rewriting your pattern can often help. The
<a href="pcrestack.html"><b>pcrestack</b></a>
documentation discusses this issue in detail.
</P>
<br><b>
PROCESSING TIME
</b><br>
<P>
Certain items in regular expression patterns are processed more efficiently
than others. It is more efficient to use a character class like [aeiou] than a
set of single-character alternatives such as (a|e|i|o|u). In general, the
simplest construction that provides the required behaviour is usually the most
efficient. Jeffrey Friedl's book contains a lot of useful general discussion
about optimizing regular expressions for efficient performance. This document
contains a few observations about PCRE.
</P>
<P>
Using Unicode character properties (the \p, \P, and \X escapes) is slow,
because PCRE has to use a multi-stage table lookup whenever it needs a
character's property. If you can find an alternative pattern that does not use
character properties, it will probably be faster.
</P>
<P>
By default, the escape sequences \b, \d, \s, and \w, and the POSIX
character classes such as [:alpha:] do not use Unicode properties, partly for
backwards compatibility, and partly for performance reasons. However, you can
set PCRE_UCP if you want Unicode character properties to be used. This can
double the matching time for items such as \d, when matched with
a traditional matching function; the performance loss is less with
a DFA matching function, and in both cases there is not much difference for
\b.
</P>
<P>
When a pattern begins with .* not in parentheses, or in parentheses that are
not the subject of a backreference, and the PCRE_DOTALL option is set, the
pattern is implicitly anchored by PCRE, since it can match only at the start of
a subject string. However, if PCRE_DOTALL is not set, PCRE cannot make this
optimization, because the . metacharacter does not then match a newline, and if
the subject string contains newlines, the pattern may match from the character
immediately following one of them instead of from the very start. For example,
the pattern
<pre>
.*second
</pre>
matches the subject "first\nand second" (where \n stands for a newline
character), with the match starting at the seventh character. In order to do
this, PCRE has to retry the match starting after every newline in the subject.
</P>
<P>
If you are using such a pattern with subject strings that do not contain
newlines, the best performance is obtained by setting PCRE_DOTALL, or starting
the pattern with ^.* or ^.*? to indicate explicit anchoring. That saves PCRE
from having to scan along the subject looking for a newline to restart at.
</P>
<P>
Beware of patterns that contain nested indefinite repeats. These can take a
long time to run when applied to a string that does not match. Consider the
pattern fragment
<pre>
^(a+)*
</pre>
This can match "aaaa" in 16 different ways, and this number increases very
rapidly as the string gets longer. (The * repeat can match 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4
times, and for each of those cases other than 0 or 4, the + repeats can match
different numbers of times.) When the remainder of the pattern is such that the
entire match is going to fail, PCRE has in principle to try every possible
variation, and this can take an extremely long time, even for relatively short
strings.
</P>
<P>
An optimization catches some of the more simple cases such as
<pre>
(a+)*b
</pre>
where a literal character follows. Before embarking on the standard matching
procedure, PCRE checks that there is a "b" later in the subject string, and if
there is not, it fails the match immediately. However, when there is no
following literal this optimization cannot be used. You can see the difference
by comparing the behaviour of
<pre>
(a+)*\d
</pre>
with the pattern above. The former gives a failure almost instantly when
applied to a whole line of "a" characters, whereas the latter takes an
appreciable time with strings longer than about 20 characters.
</P>
<P>
In many cases, the solution to this kind of performance issue is to use an
atomic group or a possessive quantifier.

<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">DESCRIPTION</a><br>
<P>
This set of functions provides a POSIX-style API for the PCRE regular
expression 8-bit library. See the
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
documentation for a description of PCRE's native API, which contains much
additional functionality. There is no POSIX-style wrapper for PCRE's 16-bit
and 32-bit library.
</P>
<P>
The functions described here are just wrapper functions that ultimately call
the PCRE native API. Their prototypes are defined in the <b>pcreposix.h</b>
header file, and on Unix systems the library itself is called
<b>pcreposix.a</b>, so can be accessed by adding <b>-lpcreposix</b> to the
command for linking an application that uses them. Because the POSIX functions
call the native ones, it is also necessary to add <b>-lpcre</b>.
</P>
<P>
I have implemented only those POSIX option bits that can be reasonably mapped
to PCRE native options. In addition, the option REG_EXTENDED is defined with
the value zero. This has no effect, but since programs that are written to the
POSIX interface often use it, this makes it easier to slot in PCRE as a
replacement library. Other POSIX options are not even defined.
</P>
<P>
There are also some other options that are not defined by POSIX. These have
been added at the request of users who want to make use of certain
PCRE-specific features via the POSIX calling interface.
</P>
<P>
When PCRE is called via these functions, it is only the API that is POSIX-like
in style. The syntax and semantics of the regular expressions themselves are
still those of Perl, subject to the setting of various PCRE options, as
described below. "POSIX-like in style" means that the API approximates to the
POSIX definition; it is not fully POSIX-compatible, and in multi-byte encoding
domains it is probably even less compatible.
</P>
<P>
The header for these functions is supplied as <b>pcreposix.h</b> to avoid any
potential clash with other POSIX libraries. It can, of course, be renamed or
aliased as <b>regex.h</b>, which is the "correct" name. It provides two
structure types, <i>regex_t</i> for compiled internal forms, and
<i>regmatch_t</i> for returning captured substrings. It also defines some
constants whose names start with "REG_"; these are used for setting options and
identifying error codes.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">COMPILING A PATTERN</a><br>
<P>
The function <b>regcomp()</b> is called to compile a pattern into an
internal form. The pattern is a C string terminated by a binary zero, and
is passed in the argument <i>pattern</i>. The <i>preg</i> argument is a pointer
to a <b>regex_t</b> structure that is used as a base for storing information
about the compiled regular expression.
</P>
<P>
The argument <i>cflags</i> is either zero, or contains one or more of the bits
defined by the following macros:
<pre>
REG_DOTALL
</pre>
The PCRE_DOTALL option is set when the regular expression is passed for
compilation to the native function. Note that REG_DOTALL is not part of the
POSIX standard.
<pre>
REG_ICASE
</pre>
The PCRE_CASELESS option is set when the regular expression is passed for
compilation to the native function.
<pre>
REG_NEWLINE
</pre>
The PCRE_MULTILINE option is set when the regular expression is passed for
compilation to the native function. Note that this does <i>not</i> mimic the
defined POSIX behaviour for REG_NEWLINE (see the following section).
<pre>
REG_NOSUB
</pre>
The PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE option is set when the regular expression is passed
for compilation to the native function. In addition, when a pattern that is
compiled with this flag is passed to <b>regexec()</b> for matching, the
<i>nmatch</i> and <i>pmatch</i> arguments are ignored, and no captured strings
are returned.
<pre>
REG_UCP
</pre>
The PCRE_UCP option is set when the regular expression is passed for
compilation to the native function. This causes PCRE to use Unicode properties
when matchine \d, \w, etc., instead of just recognizing ASCII values. Note
that REG_UTF8 is not part of the POSIX standard.
<pre>
REG_UNGREEDY
</pre>
The PCRE_UNGREEDY option is set when the regular expression is passed for
compilation to the native function. Note that REG_UNGREEDY is not part of the
POSIX standard.
<pre>
REG_UTF8
</pre>
The PCRE_UTF8 option is set when the regular expression is passed for
compilation to the native function. This causes the pattern itself and all data
strings used for matching it to be treated as UTF-8 strings. Note that REG_UTF8
is not part of the POSIX standard.
</P>
<P>
In the absence of these flags, no options are passed to the native function.
This means the the regex is compiled with PCRE default semantics. In
particular, the way it handles newline characters in the subject string is the
Perl way, not the POSIX way. Note that setting PCRE_MULTILINE has only
<i>some</i> of the effects specified for REG_NEWLINE. It does not affect the way
newlines are matched by . (they are not) or by a negative class such as [^a]
(they are).
</P>
<P>
The yield of <b>regcomp()</b> is zero on success, and non-zero otherwise. The
<i>preg</i> structure is filled in on success, and one member of the structure
is public: <i>re_nsub</i> contains the number of capturing subpatterns in
the regular expression. Various error codes are defined in the header file.
</P>
<P>
NOTE: If the yield of <b>regcomp()</b> is non-zero, you must not attempt to
use the contents of the <i>preg</i> structure. If, for example, you pass it to
<b>regexec()</b>, the result is undefined and your program is likely to crash.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">MATCHING NEWLINE CHARACTERS</a><br>
<P>
This area is not simple, because POSIX and Perl take different views of things.
It is not possible to get PCRE to obey POSIX semantics, but then PCRE was never
intended to be a POSIX engine. The following table lists the different
possibilities for matching newline characters in PCRE:
<pre>
Default Change with
. matches newline no PCRE_DOTALL
newline matches [^a] yes not changeable
$ matches \n at end yes PCRE_DOLLARENDONLY
$ matches \n in middle no PCRE_MULTILINE
^ matches \n in middle no PCRE_MULTILINE
</pre>
This is the equivalent table for POSIX:
<pre>
Default Change with
. matches newline yes REG_NEWLINE
newline matches [^a] yes REG_NEWLINE
$ matches \n at end no REG_NEWLINE
$ matches \n in middle no REG_NEWLINE
^ matches \n in middle no REG_NEWLINE
</pre>
PCRE's behaviour is the same as Perl's, except that there is no equivalent for
PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY in Perl. In both PCRE and Perl, there is no way to stop
newline from matching [^a].
</P>
<P>
The default POSIX newline handling can be obtained by setting PCRE_DOTALL and
PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY, but there is no way to make PCRE behave exactly as for the
REG_NEWLINE action.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">MATCHING A PATTERN</a><br>
<P>
The function <b>regexec()</b> is called to match a compiled pattern <i>preg</i>
against a given <i>string</i>, which is by default terminated by a zero byte
(but see REG_STARTEND below), subject to the options in <i>eflags</i>. These can
be:
<pre>
REG_NOTBOL
</pre>
The PCRE_NOTBOL option is set when calling the underlying PCRE matching
function.
<pre>
REG_NOTEMPTY
</pre>
The PCRE_NOTEMPTY option is set when calling the underlying PCRE matching
function. Note that REG_NOTEMPTY is not part of the POSIX standard. However,
setting this option can give more POSIX-like behaviour in some situations.
<pre>
REG_NOTEOL
</pre>
The PCRE_NOTEOL option is set when calling the underlying PCRE matching
function.
<pre>
REG_STARTEND
</pre>
The string is considered to start at <i>string</i> + <i>pmatch[0].rm_so</i> and
to have a terminating NUL located at <i>string</i> + <i>pmatch[0].rm_eo</i>
(there need not actually be a NUL at that location), regardless of the value of
<i>nmatch</i>. This is a BSD extension, compatible with but not specified by
IEEE Standard 1003.2 (POSIX.2), and should be used with caution in software
intended to be portable to other systems. Note that a non-zero <i>rm_so</i> does
not imply REG_NOTBOL; REG_STARTEND affects only the location of the string, not
how it is matched.
</P>
<P>
If the pattern was compiled with the REG_NOSUB flag, no data about any matched
strings is returned. The <i>nmatch</i> and <i>pmatch</i> arguments of
<b>regexec()</b> are ignored.
</P>
<P>
If the value of <i>nmatch</i> is zero, or if the value <i>pmatch</i> is NULL,
no data about any matched strings is returned.
</P>
<P>
Otherwise,the portion of the string that was matched, and also any captured
substrings, are returned via the <i>pmatch</i> argument, which points to an
array of <i>nmatch</i> structures of type <i>regmatch_t</i>, containing the
members <i>rm_so</i> and <i>rm_eo</i>. These contain the offset to the first
character of each substring and the offset to the first character after the end
of each substring, respectively. The 0th element of the vector relates to the
entire portion of <i>string</i> that was matched; subsequent elements relate to
the capturing subpatterns of the regular expression. Unused entries in the
array have both structure members set to -1.
</P>
<P>
A successful match yields a zero return; various error codes are defined in the
header file, of which REG_NOMATCH is the "expected" failure code.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">ERROR MESSAGES</a><br>
<P>
The <b>regerror()</b> function maps a non-zero errorcode from either
<b>regcomp()</b> or <b>regexec()</b> to a printable message. If <i>preg</i> is not
NULL, the error should have arisen from the use of that structure. A message
terminated by a binary zero is placed in <i>errbuf</i>. The length of the
message, including the zero, is limited to <i>errbuf_size</i>. The yield of the
function is the size of buffer needed to hold the whole message.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">MEMORY USAGE</a><br>
<P>
Compiling a regular expression causes memory to be allocated and associated
with the <i>preg</i> structure. The function <b>regfree()</b> frees all such
memory, after which <i>preg</i> may no longer be used as a compiled expression.

<br><a name="SEC1" href="#TOC1">SAVING AND RE-USING PRECOMPILED PCRE PATTERNS</a><br>
<P>
If you are running an application that uses a large number of regular
expression patterns, it may be useful to store them in a precompiled form
instead of having to compile them every time the application is run.
If you are not using any private character tables (see the
<a href="pcre_maketables.html"><b>pcre_maketables()</b></a>
documentation), this is relatively straightforward. If you are using private
tables, it is a little bit more complicated. However, if you are using the
just-in-time optimization feature, it is not possible to save and reload the
JIT data.
</P>
<P>
If you save compiled patterns to a file, you can copy them to a different host
and run them there. If the two hosts have different endianness (byte order),
you should run the <b>pcre[16|32]_pattern_to_host_byte_order()</b> function on the
new host before trying to match the pattern. The matching functions return
PCRE_ERROR_BADENDIANNESS if they detect a pattern with the wrong endianness.
</P>
<P>
Compiling regular expressions with one version of PCRE for use with a different
version is not guaranteed to work and may cause crashes, and saving and
restoring a compiled pattern loses any JIT optimization data.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">SAVING A COMPILED PATTERN</a><br>
<P>
The value returned by <b>pcre[16|32]_compile()</b> points to a single block of
memory that holds the compiled pattern and associated data. You can find the
length of this block in bytes by calling <b>pcre[16|32]_fullinfo()</b> with an
argument of PCRE_INFO_SIZE. You can then save the data in any appropriate
manner. Here is sample code for the 8-bit library that compiles a pattern and
writes it to a file. It assumes that the variable <i>fd</i> refers to a file
that is open for output:
<pre>
int erroroffset, rc, size;
char *error;
pcre *re;
re = pcre_compile("my pattern", 0, &error, &erroroffset, NULL);
if (re == NULL) { ... handle errors ... }
rc = pcre_fullinfo(re, NULL, PCRE_INFO_SIZE, &size);
if (rc &#60; 0) { ... handle errors ... }
rc = fwrite(re, 1, size, fd);
if (rc != size) { ... handle errors ... }
</pre>
In this example, the bytes that comprise the compiled pattern are copied
exactly. Note that this is binary data that may contain any of the 256 possible
byte values. On systems that make a distinction between binary and non-binary
data, be sure that the file is opened for binary output.
</P>
<P>
If you want to write more than one pattern to a file, you will have to devise a
way of separating them. For binary data, preceding each pattern with its length
is probably the most straightforward approach. Another possibility is to write
out the data in hexadecimal instead of binary, one pattern to a line.
</P>
<P>
Saving compiled patterns in a file is only one possible way of storing them for
later use. They could equally well be saved in a database, or in the memory of
some daemon process that passes them via sockets to the processes that want
them.
</P>
<P>
If the pattern has been studied, it is also possible to save the normal study
data in a similar way to the compiled pattern itself. However, if the
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE was used, the just-in-time data that is created cannot
be saved because it is too dependent on the current environment. When studying
generates additional information, <b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b> returns a pointer to a
<b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b> data block. Its format is defined in the
<a href="pcreapi.html#extradata">section on matching a pattern</a>
in the
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
documentation. The <i>study_data</i> field points to the binary study data, and
this is what you must save (not the <b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b> block itself). The
length of the study data can be obtained by calling <b>pcre[16|32]_fullinfo()</b>
with an argument of PCRE_INFO_STUDYSIZE. Remember to check that
<b>pcre[16|32]_study()</b> did return a non-NULL value before trying to save the
study data.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">RE-USING A PRECOMPILED PATTERN</a><br>
<P>
Re-using a precompiled pattern is straightforward. Having reloaded it into main
memory, called <b>pcre[16|32]_pattern_to_host_byte_order()</b> if necessary, you
pass its pointer to <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> or <b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b> in
the usual way.
</P>
<P>
However, if you passed a pointer to custom character tables when the pattern
was compiled (the <i>tableptr</i> argument of <b>pcre[16|32]_compile()</b>), you
must now pass a similar pointer to <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> or
<b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b>, because the value saved with the compiled pattern
will obviously be nonsense. A field in a <b>pcre[16|32]_extra()</b> block is used
to pass this data, as described in the
<a href="pcreapi.html#extradata">section on matching a pattern</a>
in the
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
documentation.
</P>
<P>
<b>Warning:</b> The tables that <b>pcre_exec()</b> and <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> use
must be the same as those that were used when the pattern was compiled. If this
is not the case, the behaviour is undefined.
</P>
<P>
If you did not provide custom character tables when the pattern was compiled,
the pointer in the compiled pattern is NULL, which causes the matching
functions to use PCRE's internal tables. Thus, you do not need to take any
special action at run time in this case.
</P>
<P>
If you saved study data with the compiled pattern, you need to create your own
<b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b> data block and set the <i>study_data</i> field to point
to the reloaded study data. You must also set the PCRE_EXTRA_STUDY_DATA bit in
the <i>flags</i> field to indicate that study data is present. Then pass the
<b>pcre[16|32]_extra</b> block to the matching function in the usual way. If the
pattern was studied for just-in-time optimization, that data cannot be saved,
and so is lost by a save/restore cycle.
</P>
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">COMPATIBILITY WITH DIFFERENT PCRE RELEASES</a><br>
<P>
In general, it is safest to recompile all saved patterns when you update to a
new PCRE release, though not all updates actually require this.

<br>
<br><b>
PCRE SAMPLE PROGRAM
</b><br>
<P>
A simple, complete demonstration program, to get you started with using PCRE,
is supplied in the file <i>pcredemo.c</i> in the PCRE distribution. A listing of
this program is given in the
<a href="pcredemo.html"><b>pcredemo</b></a>
documentation. If you do not have a copy of the PCRE distribution, you can save
this listing to re-create <i>pcredemo.c</i>.
</P>
<P>
The demonstration program, which uses the original PCRE 8-bit library, compiles
the regular expression that is its first argument, and matches it against the
subject string in its second argument. No PCRE options are set, and default
character tables are used. If matching succeeds, the program outputs the
portion of the subject that matched, together with the contents of any captured
substrings.
</P>
<P>
If the -g option is given on the command line, the program then goes on to
check for further matches of the same regular expression in the same subject
string. The logic is a little bit tricky because of the possibility of matching
an empty string. Comments in the code explain what is going on.
</P>
<P>
If PCRE is installed in the standard include and library directories for your
operating system, you should be able to compile the demonstration program using
this command:
<pre>
gcc -o pcredemo pcredemo.c -lpcre
</pre>
If PCRE is installed elsewhere, you may need to add additional options to the
command line. For example, on a Unix-like system that has PCRE installed in
<i>/usr/local</i>, you can compile the demonstration program using a command
like this:
<pre>
gcc -o pcredemo -I/usr/local/include pcredemo.c -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre
</pre>
In a Windows environment, if you want to statically link the program against a
non-dll <b>pcre.a</b> file, you must uncomment the line that defines PCRE_STATIC
before including <b>pcre.h</b>, because otherwise the <b>pcre_malloc()</b> and
<b>pcre_free()</b> exported functions will be declared
<b>__declspec(dllimport)</b>, with unwanted results.
</P>
<P>
Once you have compiled and linked the demonstration program, you can run simple
tests like this:
<pre>
./pcredemo 'cat|dog' 'the cat sat on the mat'
./pcredemo -g 'cat|dog' 'the dog sat on the cat'
</pre>
Note that there is a much more comprehensive test program, called
<a href="pcretest.html"><b>pcretest</b>,</a>
which supports many more facilities for testing regular expressions and both
PCRE libraries. The
<a href="pcredemo.html"><b>pcredemo</b></a>
program is provided as a simple coding example.
</P>
<P>
If you try to run
<a href="pcredemo.html"><b>pcredemo</b></a>
when PCRE is not installed in the standard library directory, you may get an
error like this on some operating systems (e.g. Solaris):
<pre>
ld.so.1: a.out: fatal: libpcre.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory
</pre>
This is caused by the way shared library support works on those systems. You
need to add
<pre>
-R/usr/local/lib
</pre>
(for example) to the compile command to get round this problem.

<br><b>
PCRE DISCUSSION OF STACK USAGE
</b><br>
<P>
When you call <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>, it makes use of an internal function
called <b>match()</b>. This calls itself recursively at branch points in the
pattern, in order to remember the state of the match so that it can back up and
try a different alternative if the first one fails. As matching proceeds deeper
and deeper into the tree of possibilities, the recursion depth increases. The
<b>match()</b> function is also called in other circumstances, for example,
whenever a parenthesized sub-pattern is entered, and in certain cases of
repetition.
</P>
<P>
Not all calls of <b>match()</b> increase the recursion depth; for an item such
as a* it may be called several times at the same level, after matching
different numbers of a's. Furthermore, in a number of cases where the result of
the recursive call would immediately be passed back as the result of the
current call (a "tail recursion"), the function is just restarted instead.
</P>
<P>
The above comments apply when <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> is run in its normal
interpretive manner. If the pattern was studied with the
PCRE_STUDY_JIT_COMPILE option, and just-in-time compiling was successful, and
the options passed to <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> were not incompatible, the matching
process uses the JIT-compiled code instead of the <b>match()</b> function. In
this case, the memory requirements are handled entirely differently. See the
<a href="pcrejit.html"><b>pcrejit</b></a>
documentation for details.
</P>
<P>
The <b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b> function operates in an entirely different way,
and uses recursion only when there is a regular expression recursion or
subroutine call in the pattern. This includes the processing of assertion and
"once-only" subpatterns, which are handled like subroutine calls. Normally,
these are never very deep, and the limit on the complexity of
<b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b> is controlled by the amount of workspace it is given.
However, it is possible to write patterns with runaway infinite recursions;
such patterns will cause <b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b> to run out of stack. At
present, there is no protection against this.
</P>
<P>
The comments that follow do NOT apply to <b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b>; they are
relevant only for <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> without the JIT optimization.
</P>
<br><b>
Reducing <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>'s stack usage
</b><br>
<P>
Each time that <b>match()</b> is actually called recursively, it uses memory
from the process stack. For certain kinds of pattern and data, very large
amounts of stack may be needed, despite the recognition of "tail recursion".
You can often reduce the amount of recursion, and therefore the amount of stack
used, by modifying the pattern that is being matched. Consider, for example,
this pattern:
<pre>
([^&#60;]|&#60;(?!inet))+
</pre>
It matches from wherever it starts until it encounters "&#60;inet" or the end of
the data, and is the kind of pattern that might be used when processing an XML
file. Each iteration of the outer parentheses matches either one character that
is not "&#60;" or a "&#60;" that is not followed by "inet". However, each time a
parenthesis is processed, a recursion occurs, so this formulation uses a stack
frame for each matched character. For a long string, a lot of stack is
required. Consider now this rewritten pattern, which matches exactly the same
strings:
<pre>
([^&#60;]++|&#60;(?!inet))+
</pre>
This uses very much less stack, because runs of characters that do not contain
"&#60;" are "swallowed" in one item inside the parentheses. Recursion happens only
when a "&#60;" character that is not followed by "inet" is encountered (and we
assume this is relatively rare). A possessive quantifier is used to stop any
backtracking into the runs of non-"&#60;" characters, but that is not related to
stack usage.
</P>
<P>
This example shows that one way of avoiding stack problems when matching long
subject strings is to write repeated parenthesized subpatterns to match more
than one character whenever possible.
</P>
<br><b>
Compiling PCRE to use heap instead of stack for <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>
</b><br>
<P>
In environments where stack memory is constrained, you might want to compile
PCRE to use heap memory instead of stack for remembering back-up points when
<b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> is running. This makes it run a lot more slowly, however.
Details of how to do this are given in the
<a href="pcrebuild.html"><b>pcrebuild</b></a>
documentation. When built in this way, instead of using the stack, PCRE obtains
and frees memory by calling the functions that are pointed to by the
<b>pcre[16|32]_stack_malloc</b> and <b>pcre[16|32]_stack_free</b> variables. By
default, these point to <b>malloc()</b> and <b>free()</b>, but you can replace
the pointers to cause PCRE to use your own functions. Since the block sizes are
always the same, and are always freed in reverse order, it may be possible to
implement customized memory handlers that are more efficient than the standard
functions.
</P>
<br><b>
Limiting <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>'s stack usage
</b><br>
<P>
You can set limits on the number of times that <b>match()</b> is called, both in
total and recursively. If a limit is exceeded, <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> returns an
error code. Setting suitable limits should prevent it from running out of
stack. The default values of the limits are very large, and unlikely ever to
operate. They can be changed when PCRE is built, and they can also be set when
<b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> is called. For details of these interfaces, see the
<a href="pcrebuild.html"><b>pcrebuild</b></a>
documentation and the
<a href="pcreapi.html#extradata">section on extra data for <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b></a>
in the
<a href="pcreapi.html"><b>pcreapi</b></a>
documentation.
</P>
<P>
As a very rough rule of thumb, you should reckon on about 500 bytes per
recursion. Thus, if you want to limit your stack usage to 8Mb, you should set
the limit at 16000 recursions. A 64Mb stack, on the other hand, can support
around 128000 recursions.
</P>
<P>
In Unix-like environments, the <b>pcretest</b> test program has a command line
option (<b>-S</b>) that can be used to increase the size of its stack. As long
as the stack is large enough, another option (<b>-M</b>) can be used to find the
smallest limits that allow a particular pattern to match a given subject
string. This is done by calling <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b> repeatedly with different
limits.
</P>
<br><b>
Obtaining an estimate of stack usage
</b><br>
<P>
The actual amount of stack used per recursion can vary quite a lot, depending
on the compiler that was used to build PCRE and the optimization or debugging
options that were set for it. The rule of thumb value of 500 bytes mentioned
above may be larger or smaller than what is actually needed. A better
approximation can be obtained by running this command:
<pre>
pcretest -m -C
</pre>
The <b>-C</b> option causes <b>pcretest</b> to output information about the
options with which PCRE was compiled. When <b>-m</b> is also given (before
<b>-C</b>), information about stack use is given in a line like this:
<pre>
Match recursion uses stack: approximate frame size = 640 bytes
</pre>
The value is approximate because some recursions need a bit more (up to perhaps
16 more bytes).
</P>
<P>
If the above command is given when PCRE is compiled to use the heap instead of
the stack for recursion, the value that is output is the size of each block
that is obtained from the heap.
</P>
<br><b>
Changing stack size in Unix-like systems
</b><br>
<P>
In Unix-like environments, there is not often a problem with the stack unless
very long strings are involved, though the default limit on stack size varies
from system to system. Values from 8Mb to 64Mb are common. You can find your
default limit by running the command:
<pre>
ulimit -s
</pre>
Unfortunately, the effect of running out of stack is often SIGSEGV, though
sometimes a more explicit error message is given. You can normally increase the
limit on stack size by code such as this:
<pre>
struct rlimit rlim;
getrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &rlim);
rlim.rlim_cur = 100*1024*1024;
setrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &rlim);
</pre>
This reads the current limits (soft and hard) using <b>getrlimit()</b>, then
attempts to increase the soft limit to 100Mb using <b>setrlimit()</b>. You must
do this before calling <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>.
</P>
<br><b>
Changing stack size in Mac OS X
</b><br>
<P>
Using <b>setrlimit()</b>, as described above, should also work on Mac OS X. It
is also possible to set a stack size when linking a program. There is a
discussion about stack sizes in Mac OS X at this web site:

<br><b>
UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, AND UNICODE PROPERTY SUPPORT
</b><br>
<P>
As well as UTF-8 support, PCRE also supports UTF-16 (from release 8.30) and
UTF-32 (from release 8.32), by means of two additional libraries. They can be
built as well as, or instead of, the 8-bit library.
</P>
<br><b>
UTF-8 SUPPORT
</b><br>
<P>
In order process UTF-8 strings, you must build PCRE's 8-bit library with UTF
support, and, in addition, you must call
<a href="pcre_compile.html"><b>pcre_compile()</b></a>
with the PCRE_UTF8 option flag, or the pattern must start with the sequence
(*UTF8) or (*UTF). When either of these is the case, both the pattern and any
subject strings that are matched against it are treated as UTF-8 strings
instead of strings of individual 1-byte characters.
</P>
<br><b>
UTF-16 AND UTF-32 SUPPORT
</b><br>
<P>
In order process UTF-16 or UTF-32 strings, you must build PCRE's 16-bit or
32-bit library with UTF support, and, in addition, you must call
<a href="pcre16_compile.html"><b>pcre16_compile()</b></a>
or
<a href="pcre32_compile.html"><b>pcre32_compile()</b></a>
with the PCRE_UTF16 or PCRE_UTF32 option flag, as appropriate. Alternatively,
the pattern must start with the sequence (*UTF16), (*UTF32), as appropriate, or
(*UTF), which can be used with either library. When UTF mode is set, both the
pattern and any subject strings that are matched against it are treated as
UTF-16 or UTF-32 strings instead of strings of individual 16-bit or 32-bit
characters.
</P>
<br><b>
UTF SUPPORT OVERHEAD
</b><br>
<P>
If you compile PCRE with UTF support, but do not use it at run time, the
library will be a bit bigger, but the additional run time overhead is limited
to testing the PCRE_UTF[8|16|32] flag occasionally, so should not be very big.
</P>
<br><b>
UNICODE PROPERTY SUPPORT
</b><br>
<P>
If PCRE is built with Unicode character property support (which implies UTF
support), the escape sequences \p{..}, \P{..}, and \X can be used.
The available properties that can be tested are limited to the general
category properties such as Lu for an upper case letter or Nd for a decimal
number, the Unicode script names such as Arabic or Han, and the derived
properties Any and L&. Full lists is given in the
<a href="pcrepattern.html"><b>pcrepattern</b></a>
and
<a href="pcresyntax.html"><b>pcresyntax</b></a>
documentation. Only the short names for properties are supported. For example,
\p{L} matches a letter. Its Perl synonym, \p{Letter}, is not supported.
Furthermore, in Perl, many properties may optionally be prefixed by "Is", for
compatibility with Perl 5.6. PCRE does not support this.
<a name="utf8strings"></a></P>
<br><b>
Validity of UTF-8 strings
</b><br>
<P>
When you set the PCRE_UTF8 flag, the byte strings passed as patterns and
subjects are (by default) checked for validity on entry to the relevant
functions. The entire string is checked before any other processing takes
place. From release 7.3 of PCRE, the check is according the rules of RFC 3629,
which are themselves derived from the Unicode specification. Earlier releases
of PCRE followed the rules of RFC 2279, which allows the full range of 31-bit
values (0 to 0x7FFFFFFF). The current check allows only values in the range U+0
to U+10FFFF, excluding the surrogate area. (From release 8.33 the so-called
"non-character" code points are no longer excluded because Unicode corrigendum
#9 makes it clear that they should not be.)
</P>
<P>
Characters in the "Surrogate Area" of Unicode are reserved for use by UTF-16,
where they are used in pairs to encode codepoints with values greater than
0xFFFF. The code points that are encoded by UTF-16 pairs are available
independently in the UTF-8 and UTF-32 encodings. (In other words, the whole
surrogate thing is a fudge for UTF-16 which unfortunately messes up UTF-8 and
UTF-32.)
</P>
<P>
If an invalid UTF-8 string is passed to PCRE, an error return is given. At
compile time, the only additional information is the offset to the first byte
of the failing character. The run-time functions <b>pcre_exec()</b> and
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> also pass back this information, as well as a more
detailed reason code if the caller has provided memory in which to do this.
</P>
<P>
In some situations, you may already know that your strings are valid, and
therefore want to skip these checks in order to improve performance, for
example in the case of a long subject string that is being scanned repeatedly.
If you set the PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK flag at compile time or at run time, PCRE
assumes that the pattern or subject it is given (respectively) contains only
valid UTF-8 codes. In this case, it does not diagnose an invalid UTF-8 string.
</P>
<P>
Note that passing PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK to <b>pcre_compile()</b> just disables the
check for the pattern; it does not also apply to subject strings. If you want
to disable the check for a subject string you must pass this option to
<b>pcre_exec()</b> or <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>.
</P>
<P>
If you pass an invalid UTF-8 string when PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK is set, the result
is undefined and your program may crash.
<a name="utf16strings"></a></P>
<br><b>
Validity of UTF-16 strings
</b><br>
<P>
When you set the PCRE_UTF16 flag, the strings of 16-bit data units that are
passed as patterns and subjects are (by default) checked for validity on entry
to the relevant functions. Values other than those in the surrogate range
U+D800 to U+DFFF are independent code points. Values in the surrogate range
must be used in pairs in the correct manner.
</P>
<P>
If an invalid UTF-16 string is passed to PCRE, an error return is given. At
compile time, the only additional information is the offset to the first data
unit of the failing character. The run-time functions <b>pcre16_exec()</b> and
<b>pcre16_dfa_exec()</b> also pass back this information, as well as a more
detailed reason code if the caller has provided memory in which to do this.
</P>
<P>
In some situations, you may already know that your strings are valid, and
therefore want to skip these checks in order to improve performance. If you set
the PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK flag at compile time or at run time, PCRE assumes that
the pattern or subject it is given (respectively) contains only valid UTF-16
sequences. In this case, it does not diagnose an invalid UTF-16 string.
However, if an invalid string is passed, the result is undefined.
<a name="utf32strings"></a></P>
<br><b>
Validity of UTF-32 strings
</b><br>
<P>
When you set the PCRE_UTF32 flag, the strings of 32-bit data units that are
passed as patterns and subjects are (by default) checked for validity on entry
to the relevant functions. This check allows only values in the range U+0
to U+10FFFF, excluding the surrogate area U+D800 to U+DFFF.
</P>
<P>
If an invalid UTF-32 string is passed to PCRE, an error return is given. At
compile time, the only additional information is the offset to the first data
unit of the failing character. The run-time functions <b>pcre32_exec()</b> and
<b>pcre32_dfa_exec()</b> also pass back this information, as well as a more
detailed reason code if the caller has provided memory in which to do this.
</P>
<P>
In some situations, you may already know that your strings are valid, and
therefore want to skip these checks in order to improve performance. If you set
the PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK flag at compile time or at run time, PCRE assumes that
the pattern or subject it is given (respectively) contains only valid UTF-32
sequences. In this case, it does not diagnose an invalid UTF-32 string.
However, if an invalid string is passed, the result is undefined.
</P>
<br><b>
General comments about UTF modes
</b><br>
<P>
1. Codepoints less than 256 can be specified in patterns by either braced or
unbraced hexadecimal escape sequences (for example, \x{b3} or \xb3). Larger
values have to use braced sequences.
</P>
<P>
2. Octal numbers up to \777 are recognized, and in UTF-8 mode they match
two-byte characters for values greater than \177.
</P>
<P>
3. Repeat quantifiers apply to complete UTF characters, not to individual
data units, for example: \x{100}{3}.
</P>
<P>
4. The dot metacharacter matches one UTF character instead of a single data
unit.
</P>
<P>
5. The escape sequence \C can be used to match a single byte in UTF-8 mode, or
a single 16-bit data unit in UTF-16 mode, or a single 32-bit data unit in
UTF-32 mode, but its use can lead to some strange effects because it breaks up
multi-unit characters (see the description of \C in the
<a href="pcrepattern.html"><b>pcrepattern</b></a>
documentation). The use of \C is not supported in the alternative matching
function <b>pcre[16|32]_dfa_exec()</b>, nor is it supported in UTF mode by the
JIT optimization of <b>pcre[16|32]_exec()</b>. If JIT optimization is requested
for a UTF pattern that contains \C, it will not succeed, and so the matching
will be carried out by the normal interpretive function.
</P>
<P>
6. The character escapes \b, \B, \d, \D, \s, \S, \w, and \W correctly
test characters of any code value, but, by default, the characters that PCRE
recognizes as digits, spaces, or word characters remain the same set as in
non-UTF mode, all with values less than 256. This remains true even when PCRE
is built to include Unicode property support, because to do otherwise would
slow down PCRE in many common cases. Note in particular that this applies to
\b and \B, because they are defined in terms of \w and \W. If you really
want to test for a wider sense of, say, "digit", you can use explicit Unicode
property tests such as \p{Nd}. Alternatively, if you set the PCRE_UCP option,
the way that the character escapes work is changed so that Unicode properties
are used to determine which characters match. There are more details in the
section on
<a href="pcrepattern.html#genericchartypes">generic character types</a>
in the
<a href="pcrepattern.html"><b>pcrepattern</b></a>
documentation.
</P>
<P>
7. Similarly, characters that match the POSIX named character classes are all
low-valued characters, unless the PCRE_UCP option is set.
</P>
<P>
8. However, the horizontal and vertical white space matching escapes (\h, \H,
\v, and \V) do match all the appropriate Unicode characters, whether or not
PCRE_UCP is set.
</P>
<P>
9. Case-insensitive matching applies only to characters whose values are less
than 128, unless PCRE is built with Unicode property support. A few Unicode
characters such as Greek sigma have more than two codepoints that are
case-equivalent. Up to and including PCRE release 8.31, only one-to-one case
mappings were supported, but later releases (with Unicode property support) do
treat as case-equivalent all versions of characters such as Greek sigma.

\fBpcre-config\fP returns the configuration of the installed PCRE
libraries and the options required to compile a program to use them. Some of
the options apply only to the 8-bit, or 16-bit, or 32-bit libraries,
respectively, and are
not available if only one of those libraries has been built. If an unavailable
option is encountered, the "usage" information is output.
.
.
.SH OPTIONS
.rs
.TP 10
\fB--prefix\fP
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for architecture
independent files (\fI/usr\fP on many systems, \fI/usr/local\fP on some
systems) to the standard output.
.TP 10
\fB--exec-prefix\fP
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for architecture
dependent files (normally the same as \fB--prefix\fP) to the standard output.
.TP 10
\fB--version\fP
Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries to the standard
output.
.TP 10
\fB--libs\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
with the 8-bit PCRE library (\fB-lpcre\fP on many systems).
.TP 10
\fB--libs16\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
with the 16-bit PCRE library (\fB-lpcre16\fP on many systems).
.TP 10
\fB--libs32\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link
with the 32-bit PCRE library (\fB-lpcre32\fP on many systems).
.TP 10
\fB--libs-cpp\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with
PCRE's C++ wrapper library (\fB-lpcrecpp\fP \fB-lpcre\fP on many
systems).
.TP 10
\fB--libs-posix\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to link with
PCRE's POSIX API wrapper library (\fB-lpcreposix\fP \fB-lpcre\fP on many
systems).
.TP 10
\fB--cflags\fP
Writes to the standard output the command line options required to compile
files that use PCRE (this may include some \fB-I\fP options, but is blank on

PCRE-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual PCRE-CONFIG(1)
NAME
pcre-config - program to return PCRE configuration
SYNOPSIS
pcre-config [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--version] [--libs]
[--libs16] [--libs32] [--libs-cpp] [--libs-posix]
[--cflags] [--cflags-posix]
DESCRIPTION
pcre-config returns the configuration of the installed PCRE libraries
and the options required to compile a program to use them. Some of the
options apply only to the 8-bit, or 16-bit, or 32-bit libraries, re-
spectively, and are not available if only one of those libraries has
been built. If an unavailable option is encountered, the "usage" infor-
mation is output.
OPTIONS
--prefix Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
architecture independent files (/usr on many systems,
/usr/local on some systems) to the standard output.
--exec-prefix
Writes the directory prefix used in the PCRE installation for
architecture dependent files (normally the same as --prefix)
to the standard output.
--version Writes the version number of the installed PCRE libraries to
the standard output.
--libs Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to link with the 8-bit PCRE library (-lpcre on many
systems).
--libs16 Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to link with the 16-bit PCRE library (-lpcre16 on many
systems).
--libs32 Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to link with the 32-bit PCRE library (-lpcre32 on many
systems).
--libs-cpp
Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to link with PCRE's C++ wrapper library (-lpcrecpp
-lpcre on many systems).
--libs-posix
Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to link with PCRE's POSIX API wrapper library
(-lpcreposix -lpcre on many systems).
--cflags Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to compile files that use PCRE (this may include some
-I options, but is blank on many systems).
--cflags-posix
Writes to the standard output the command line options re-
quired to compile files that use PCRE's POSIX API wrapper li-
brary (this may include some -I options, but is blank on many
systems).

.TH PCRE 3 "14 June 2021" "PCRE 8.45"
.SH NAME
PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions (original API)
.SH "PLEASE TAKE NOTE"
.rs
.sp
This document relates to PCRE releases that use the original API, with library
names libpcre, libpcre16, and libpcre32. January 2015 saw the first release of
a new API, known as PCRE2, with release numbers starting at 10.00 and library
names libpcre2-8, libpcre2-16, and libpcre2-32. The old libraries (now called
PCRE1) are now at end of life, and 8.45 is the final release. New projects are
advised to use the new PCRE2 libraries.
.
.
.SH INTRODUCTION
.rs
.sp
The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression
pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl, with just a few
differences. Some features that appeared in Python and PCRE before they
appeared in Perl are also available using the Python syntax, there is some
support for one or two .NET and Oniguruma syntax items, and there is an option
for requesting some minor changes that give better JavaScript compatibility.
.P
Starting with release 8.30, it is possible to compile two separate PCRE
libraries: the original, which supports 8-bit character strings (including
UTF-8 strings), and a second library that supports 16-bit character strings
(including UTF-16 strings). The build process allows either one or both to be
built. The majority of the work to make this possible was done by Zoltan
Herczeg.
.P
Starting with release 8.32 it is possible to compile a third separate PCRE
library that supports 32-bit character strings (including UTF-32 strings). The
build process allows any combination of the 8-, 16- and 32-bit libraries. The
work to make this possible was done by Christian Persch.
.P
The three libraries contain identical sets of functions, except that the names
in the 16-bit library start with \fBpcre16_\fP instead of \fBpcre_\fP, and the
names in the 32-bit library start with \fBpcre32_\fP instead of \fBpcre_\fP. To
avoid over-complication and reduce the documentation maintenance load, most of
the documentation describes the 8-bit library, with the differences for the
16-bit and 32-bit libraries described separately in the
.\" HREF
\fBpcre16\fP
and
.\" HREF
\fBpcre32\fP
.\"
pages. References to functions or structures of the form \fIpcre[16|32]_xxx\fP
should be read as meaning "\fIpcre_xxx\fP when using the 8-bit library,
\fIpcre16_xxx\fP when using the 16-bit library, or \fIpcre32_xxx\fP when using
the 32-bit library".
.P
The current implementation of PCRE corresponds approximately with Perl 5.12,
including support for UTF-8/16/32 encoded strings and Unicode general category
properties. However, UTF-8/16/32 and Unicode support has to be explicitly
enabled; it is not the default. The Unicode tables correspond to Unicode
release 6.3.0.
.P
In addition to the Perl-compatible matching function, PCRE contains an
alternative function that matches the same compiled patterns in a different
way. In certain circumstances, the alternative function has some advantages.
For a discussion of the two matching algorithms, see the
.\" HREF
\fBpcrematching\fP
.\"
page.
.P
PCRE is written in C and released as a C library. A number of people have
written wrappers and interfaces of various kinds. In particular, Google Inc.
have provided a comprehensive C++ wrapper for the 8-bit library. This is now
included as part of the PCRE distribution. The
.\" HREF
\fBpcrecpp\fP
.\"
page has details of this interface. Other people's contributions can be found
in the \fIContrib\fP directory at the primary FTP site, which is:
.sp
.\" HTML <a href="ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre">
.\" </a>
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre
.\"
.P
Details of exactly which Perl regular expression features are and are not
supported by PCRE are given in separate documents. See the
.\" HREF
\fBpcrepattern\fP
.\"
and
.\" HREF
\fBpcrecompat\fP
.\"
pages. There is a syntax summary in the
.\" HREF
\fBpcresyntax\fP
.\"
page.
.P
Some features of PCRE can be included, excluded, or changed when the library is
built. The
.\" HREF
\fBpcre_config()\fP
.\"
function makes it possible for a client to discover which features are
available. The features themselves are described in the
.\" HREF
\fBpcrebuild\fP
.\"
page. Documentation about building PCRE for various operating systems can be
found in the
.\" HTML <a href="README.txt">
.\" </a>
\fBREADME\fP
.\"
and
.\" HTML <a href="NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD.txt">
.\" </a>
\fBNON-AUTOTOOLS_BUILD\fP
.\"
files in the source distribution.
.P
The libraries contains a number of undocumented internal functions and data
tables that are used by more than one of the exported external functions, but
which are not intended for use by external callers. Their names all begin with
"_pcre_" or "_pcre16_" or "_pcre32_", which hopefully will not provoke any name
clashes. In some environments, it is possible to control which external symbols
are exported when a shared library is built, and in these cases the
undocumented symbols are not exported.
.
.
.SH "SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS"
.rs
.sp
If you are using PCRE in a non-UTF application that permits users to supply
arbitrary patterns for compilation, you should be aware of a feature that
allows users to turn on UTF support from within a pattern, provided that PCRE
was built with UTF support. For example, an 8-bit pattern that begins with
"(*UTF8)" or "(*UTF)" turns on UTF-8 mode, which interprets patterns and
subjects as strings of UTF-8 characters instead of individual 8-bit characters.
This causes both the pattern and any data against which it is matched to be
checked for UTF-8 validity. If the data string is very long, such a check might
use sufficiently many resources as to cause your application to lose
performance.
.P
One way of guarding against this possibility is to use the
\fBpcre_fullinfo()\fP function to check the compiled pattern's options for UTF.
Alternatively, from release 8.33, you can set the PCRE_NEVER_UTF option at
compile time. This causes a compile time error if a pattern contains a
UTF-setting sequence.
.P
If your application is one that supports UTF, be aware that validity checking
can take time. If the same data string is to be matched many times, you can use
the PCRE_NO_UTF[8|16|32]_CHECK option for the second and subsequent matches to
save redundant checks.
.P
Another way that performance can be hit is by running a pattern that has a very
large search tree against a string that will never match. Nested unlimited
repeats in a pattern are a common example. PCRE provides some protection
against this: see the PCRE_EXTRA_MATCH_LIMIT feature in the
.\" HREF
\fBpcreapi\fP
.\"
page.
.
.
.SH "USER DOCUMENTATION"
.rs
.sp
The user documentation for PCRE comprises a number of different sections. In
the "man" format, each of these is a separate "man page". In the HTML format,
each is a separate page, linked from the index page. In the plain text format,
the descriptions of the \fBpcregrep\fP and \fBpcretest\fP programs are in files
called \fBpcregrep.txt\fP and \fBpcretest.txt\fP, respectively. The remaining
sections, except for the \fBpcredemo\fP section (which is a program listing),
are concatenated in \fBpcre.txt\fP, for ease of searching. The sections are as
follows:
.sp

.SH "THE PCRE 16-BIT LIBRARY"
.rs
.sp
Starting with release 8.30, it is possible to compile a PCRE library that
supports 16-bit character strings, including UTF-16 strings, as well as or
instead of the original 8-bit library. The majority of the work to make this
possible was done by Zoltan Herczeg. The two libraries contain identical sets
of functions, used in exactly the same way. Only the names of the functions and
the data types of their arguments and results are different. To avoid
over-complication and reduce the documentation maintenance load, most of the
PCRE documentation describes the 8-bit library, with only occasional references
to the 16-bit library. This page describes what is different when you use the
16-bit library.
.P
WARNING: A single application can be linked with both libraries, but you must
take care when processing any particular pattern to use functions from just one
library. For example, if you want to study a pattern that was compiled with
\fBpcre16_compile()\fP, you must do so with \fBpcre16_study()\fP, not
\fBpcre_study()\fP, and you must free the study data with
\fBpcre16_free_study()\fP.
.
.
.SH "THE HEADER FILE"
.rs
.sp
There is only one header file, \fBpcre.h\fP. It contains prototypes for all the
functions in all libraries, as well as definitions of flags, structures, error
codes, etc.
.
.
.SH "THE LIBRARY NAME"
.rs
.sp
In Unix-like systems, the 16-bit library is called \fBlibpcre16\fP, and can
normally be accesss by adding \fB-lpcre16\fP to the command for linking an
application that uses PCRE.
.
.
.SH "STRING TYPES"
.rs
.sp
In the 8-bit library, strings are passed to PCRE library functions as vectors
of bytes with the C type "char *". In the 16-bit library, strings are passed as
vectors of unsigned 16-bit quantities. The macro PCRE_UCHAR16 specifies an
appropriate data type, and PCRE_SPTR16 is defined as "const PCRE_UCHAR16 *". In
very many environments, "short int" is a 16-bit data type. When PCRE is built,
it defines PCRE_UCHAR16 as "unsigned short int", but checks that it really is a
16-bit data type. If it is not, the build fails with an error message telling
the maintainer to modify the definition appropriately.
.
.
.SH "STRUCTURE TYPES"
.rs
.sp
The types of the opaque structures that are used for compiled 16-bit patterns
and JIT stacks are \fBpcre16\fP and \fBpcre16_jit_stack\fP respectively. The
type of the user-accessible structure that is returned by \fBpcre16_study()\fP
is \fBpcre16_extra\fP, and the type of the structure that is used for passing
data to a callout function is \fBpcre16_callout_block\fP. These structures
contain the same fields, with the same names, as their 8-bit counterparts. The
only difference is that pointers to character strings are 16-bit instead of
8-bit types.
.
.
.SH "16-BIT FUNCTIONS"
.rs
.sp
For every function in the 8-bit library there is a corresponding function in
the 16-bit library with a name that starts with \fBpcre16_\fP instead of
\fBpcre_\fP. The prototypes are listed above. In addition, there is one extra
function, \fBpcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()\fP. This is a utility function
that converts a UTF-16 character string to host byte order if necessary. The
other 16-bit functions expect the strings they are passed to be in host byte
order.
.P
The \fIinput\fP and \fIoutput\fP arguments of
\fBpcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()\fP may point to the same address, that is,
conversion in place is supported. The output buffer must be at least as long as
the input.
.P
The \fIlength\fP argument specifies the number of 16-bit data units in the
input string; a negative value specifies a zero-terminated string.
.P
If \fIbyte_order\fP is NULL, it is assumed that the string starts off in host
byte order. This may be changed by byte-order marks (BOMs) anywhere in the
string (commonly as the first character).
.P
If \fIbyte_order\fP is not NULL, a non-zero value of the integer to which it
points means that the input starts off in host byte order, otherwise the
opposite order is assumed. Again, BOMs in the string can change this. The final
byte order is passed back at the end of processing.
.P
If \fIkeep_boms\fP is not zero, byte-order mark characters (0xfeff) are copied
into the output string. Otherwise they are discarded.
.P
The result of the function is the number of 16-bit units placed into the output
buffer, including the zero terminator if the string was zero-terminated.
.
.
.SH "SUBJECT STRING OFFSETS"
.rs
.sp
The lengths and starting offsets of subject strings must be specified in 16-bit
data units, and the offsets within subject strings that are returned by the
matching functions are in also 16-bit units rather than bytes.
.
.
.SH "NAMED SUBPATTERNS"
.rs
.sp
The name-to-number translation table that is maintained for named subpatterns
uses 16-bit characters. The \fBpcre16_get_stringtable_entries()\fP function
returns the length of each entry in the table as the number of 16-bit data
units.
.
.
.SH "OPTION NAMES"
.rs
.sp
There are two new general option names, PCRE_UTF16 and PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK,
which correspond to PCRE_UTF8 and PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK in the 8-bit library. In
fact, these new options define the same bits in the options word. There is a
discussion about the
.\" HTML <a href="pcreunicode.html#utf16strings">
.\" </a>
validity of UTF-16 strings
.\"
in the
.\" HREF
\fBpcreunicode\fP
.\"
page.
.P
For the \fBpcre16_config()\fP function there is an option PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16
that returns 1 if UTF-16 support is configured, otherwise 0. If this option is
given to \fBpcre_config()\fP or \fBpcre32_config()\fP, or if the
PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32 option is given to \fBpcre16_config()\fP,
the result is the PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION error.
.
.
.SH "CHARACTER CODES"
.rs
.sp
In 16-bit mode, when PCRE_UTF16 is not set, character values are treated in the
same way as in 8-bit, non UTF-8 mode, except, of course, that they can range
from 0 to 0xffff instead of 0 to 0xff. Character types for characters less than
0xff can therefore be influenced by the locale in the same way as before.
Characters greater than 0xff have only one case, and no "type" (such as letter
or digit).
.P
In UTF-16 mode, the character code is Unicode, in the range 0 to 0x10ffff, with
the exception of values in the range 0xd800 to 0xdfff because those are
"surrogate" values that are used in pairs to encode values greater than 0xffff.
.P
A UTF-16 string can indicate its endianness by special code knows as a
byte-order mark (BOM). The PCRE functions do not handle this, expecting strings
to be in host byte order. A utility function called
\fBpcre16_utf16_to_host_byte_order()\fP is provided to help with this (see
above).
.
.
.SH "ERROR NAMES"
.rs
.sp
The errors PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF16_OFFSET and PCRE_ERROR_SHORTUTF16 correspond to
their 8-bit counterparts. The error PCRE_ERROR_BADMODE is given when a compiled
pattern is passed to a function that processes patterns in the other
mode, for example, if a pattern compiled with \fBpcre_compile()\fP is passed to
\fBpcre16_exec()\fP.
.P
There are new error codes whose names begin with PCRE_UTF16_ERR for invalid
UTF-16 strings, corresponding to the PCRE_UTF8_ERR codes for UTF-8 strings that
are described in the section entitled
.\" HTML <a href="pcreapi.html#badutf8reasons">

"Reason codes for invalid UTF-8 strings"

.SH "ERROR TEXTS"

If there is an error while compiling a pattern, the error text that is passed

a callout function point to 16-bit vectors.
.
.
.SH "TESTING"
.rs
.sp
The \fBpcretest\fP program continues to operate with 8-bit input and output
files, but it can be used for testing the 16-bit library. If it is run with the
command line option \fB-16\fP, patterns and subject strings are converted from
8-bit to 16-bit before being passed to PCRE, and the 16-bit library functions
are used instead of the 8-bit ones. Returned 16-bit strings are converted to
8-bit for output. If both the 8-bit and the 32-bit libraries were not compiled,
\fBpcretest\fP defaults to 16-bit and the \fB-16\fP option is ignored.
.P
When PCRE is being built, the \fBRunTest\fP script that is called by "make
check" uses the \fBpcretest\fP \fB-C\fP option to discover which of the 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit libraries has been built, and runs the tests appropriately.
.
.
.SH "NOT SUPPORTED IN 16-BIT MODE"
.rs
.sp
Not all the features of the 8-bit library are available with the 16-bit
library. The C++ and POSIX wrapper functions support only the 8-bit library,
and the \fBpcregrep\fP program is at present 8-bit only.

.SH "THE PCRE 32-BIT LIBRARY"
.rs
.sp
Starting with release 8.32, it is possible to compile a PCRE library that
supports 32-bit character strings, including UTF-32 strings, as well as or
instead of the original 8-bit library. This work was done by Christian Persch,
based on the work done by Zoltan Herczeg for the 16-bit library. All three
libraries contain identical sets of functions, used in exactly the same way.
Only the names of the functions and the data types of their arguments and
results are different. To avoid over-complication and reduce the documentation
maintenance load, most of the PCRE documentation describes the 8-bit library,
with only occasional references to the 16-bit and 32-bit libraries. This page
describes what is different when you use the 32-bit library.
.P
WARNING: A single application can be linked with all or any of the three
libraries, but you must take care when processing any particular pattern
to use functions from just one library. For example, if you want to study
a pattern that was compiled with \fBpcre32_compile()\fP, you must do so
with \fBpcre32_study()\fP, not \fBpcre_study()\fP, and you must free the
study data with \fBpcre32_free_study()\fP.
.
.
.SH "THE HEADER FILE"
.rs
.sp
There is only one header file, \fBpcre.h\fP. It contains prototypes for all the
functions in all libraries, as well as definitions of flags, structures, error
codes, etc.
.
.
.SH "THE LIBRARY NAME"
.rs
.sp
In Unix-like systems, the 32-bit library is called \fBlibpcre32\fP, and can
normally be accesss by adding \fB-lpcre32\fP to the command for linking an
application that uses PCRE.
.
.
.SH "STRING TYPES"
.rs
.sp
In the 8-bit library, strings are passed to PCRE library functions as vectors
of bytes with the C type "char *". In the 32-bit library, strings are passed as
vectors of unsigned 32-bit quantities. The macro PCRE_UCHAR32 specifies an
appropriate data type, and PCRE_SPTR32 is defined as "const PCRE_UCHAR32 *". In
very many environments, "unsigned int" is a 32-bit data type. When PCRE is
built, it defines PCRE_UCHAR32 as "unsigned int", but checks that it really is
a 32-bit data type. If it is not, the build fails with an error message telling
the maintainer to modify the definition appropriately.
.
.
.SH "STRUCTURE TYPES"
.rs
.sp
The types of the opaque structures that are used for compiled 32-bit patterns
and JIT stacks are \fBpcre32\fP and \fBpcre32_jit_stack\fP respectively. The
type of the user-accessible structure that is returned by \fBpcre32_study()\fP
is \fBpcre32_extra\fP, and the type of the structure that is used for passing
data to a callout function is \fBpcre32_callout_block\fP. These structures
contain the same fields, with the same names, as their 8-bit counterparts. The
only difference is that pointers to character strings are 32-bit instead of
8-bit types.
.
.
.SH "32-BIT FUNCTIONS"
.rs
.sp
For every function in the 8-bit library there is a corresponding function in
the 32-bit library with a name that starts with \fBpcre32_\fP instead of
\fBpcre_\fP. The prototypes are listed above. In addition, there is one extra
function, \fBpcre32_utf32_to_host_byte_order()\fP. This is a utility function
that converts a UTF-32 character string to host byte order if necessary. The
other 32-bit functions expect the strings they are passed to be in host byte
order.
.P
The \fIinput\fP and \fIoutput\fP arguments of
\fBpcre32_utf32_to_host_byte_order()\fP may point to the same address, that is,
conversion in place is supported. The output buffer must be at least as long as
the input.
.P
The \fIlength\fP argument specifies the number of 32-bit data units in the
input string; a negative value specifies a zero-terminated string.
.P
If \fIbyte_order\fP is NULL, it is assumed that the string starts off in host
byte order. This may be changed by byte-order marks (BOMs) anywhere in the
string (commonly as the first character).
.P
If \fIbyte_order\fP is not NULL, a non-zero value of the integer to which it
points means that the input starts off in host byte order, otherwise the
opposite order is assumed. Again, BOMs in the string can change this. The final
byte order is passed back at the end of processing.
.P
If \fIkeep_boms\fP is not zero, byte-order mark characters (0xfeff) are copied
into the output string. Otherwise they are discarded.
.P
The result of the function is the number of 32-bit units placed into the output
buffer, including the zero terminator if the string was zero-terminated.
.
.
.SH "SUBJECT STRING OFFSETS"
.rs
.sp
The lengths and starting offsets of subject strings must be specified in 32-bit
data units, and the offsets within subject strings that are returned by the
matching functions are in also 32-bit units rather than bytes.
.
.
.SH "NAMED SUBPATTERNS"
.rs
.sp
The name-to-number translation table that is maintained for named subpatterns
uses 32-bit characters. The \fBpcre32_get_stringtable_entries()\fP function
returns the length of each entry in the table as the number of 32-bit data
units.
.
.
.SH "OPTION NAMES"
.rs
.sp
There are two new general option names, PCRE_UTF32 and PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK,
which correspond to PCRE_UTF8 and PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK in the 8-bit library. In
fact, these new options define the same bits in the options word. There is a
discussion about the
.\" HTML <a href="pcreunicode.html#utf32strings">
.\" </a>
validity of UTF-32 strings
.\"
in the
.\" HREF
\fBpcreunicode\fP
.\"
page.
.P
For the \fBpcre32_config()\fP function there is an option PCRE_CONFIG_UTF32
that returns 1 if UTF-32 support is configured, otherwise 0. If this option is
given to \fBpcre_config()\fP or \fBpcre16_config()\fP, or if the
PCRE_CONFIG_UTF8 or PCRE_CONFIG_UTF16 option is given to \fBpcre32_config()\fP,
the result is the PCRE_ERROR_BADOPTION error.
.
.
.SH "CHARACTER CODES"
.rs
.sp
In 32-bit mode, when PCRE_UTF32 is not set, character values are treated in the
same way as in 8-bit, non UTF-8 mode, except, of course, that they can range
from 0 to 0x7fffffff instead of 0 to 0xff. Character types for characters less
than 0xff can therefore be influenced by the locale in the same way as before.
Characters greater than 0xff have only one case, and no "type" (such as letter
or digit).
.P
In UTF-32 mode, the character code is Unicode, in the range 0 to 0x10ffff, with
the exception of values in the range 0xd800 to 0xdfff because those are
"surrogate" values that are ill-formed in UTF-32.
.P
A UTF-32 string can indicate its endianness by special code knows as a
byte-order mark (BOM). The PCRE functions do not handle this, expecting strings
to be in host byte order. A utility function called
\fBpcre32_utf32_to_host_byte_order()\fP is provided to help with this (see
above).
.
.
.SH "ERROR NAMES"
.rs
.sp
The error PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF32 corresponds to its 8-bit counterpart.
The error PCRE_ERROR_BADMODE is given when a compiled
pattern is passed to a function that processes patterns in the other
mode, for example, if a pattern compiled with \fBpcre_compile()\fP is passed to
\fBpcre32_exec()\fP.
.P
There are new error codes whose names begin with PCRE_UTF32_ERR for invalid
UTF-32 strings, corresponding to the PCRE_UTF8_ERR codes for UTF-8 strings that
are described in the section entitled
.\" HTML <a href="pcreapi.html#badutf8reasons">
.\" </a>
"Reason codes for invalid UTF-8 strings"
.\"
in the main
.\" HREF
\fBpcreapi\fP
.\"
page. The UTF-32 errors are:
.sp
PCRE_UTF32_ERR1 Surrogate character (range from 0xd800 to 0xdfff)
PCRE_UTF32_ERR2 Non-character
PCRE_UTF32_ERR3 Character > 0x10ffff
.
.
.SH "ERROR TEXTS"
.rs
.sp
If there is an error while compiling a pattern, the error text that is passed
back by \fBpcre32_compile()\fP or \fBpcre32_compile2()\fP is still an 8-bit
character string, zero-terminated.
.
.
.SH "CALLOUTS"
.rs
.sp
The \fIsubject\fP and \fImark\fP fields in the callout block that is passed to
a callout function point to 32-bit vectors.
.
.
.SH "TESTING"
.rs
.sp
The \fBpcretest\fP program continues to operate with 8-bit input and output
files, but it can be used for testing the 32-bit library. If it is run with the
command line option \fB-32\fP, patterns and subject strings are converted from
8-bit to 32-bit before being passed to PCRE, and the 32-bit library functions
are used instead of the 8-bit ones. Returned 32-bit strings are converted to
8-bit for output. If both the 8-bit and the 16-bit libraries were not compiled,
\fBpcretest\fP defaults to 32-bit and the \fB-32\fP option is ignored.
.P
When PCRE is being built, the \fBRunTest\fP script that is called by "make
check" uses the \fBpcretest\fP \fB-C\fP option to discover which of the 8-bit,
16-bit and 32-bit libraries has been built, and runs the tests appropriately.
.
.
.SH "NOT SUPPORTED IN 32-BIT MODE"
.rs
.sp
Not all the features of the 8-bit library are available with the 32-bit
library. The C++ and POSIX wrapper functions support only the 8-bit library,
and the \fBpcregrep\fP program is at present 8-bit only.

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

\fIerrptr\fP Where to put an error message
\fIerroffset\fP Offset in pattern where error was found
\fItableptr\fP Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
use the built-in default
.sp
The option bits are:
.sp
PCRE_ANCHORED Force pattern anchoring
PCRE_AUTO_CALLOUT Compile automatic callouts
PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF \eR matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
PCRE_BSR_UNICODE \eR matches all Unicode line endings
