DESCRIPTION
|
|
</b><br>
|
|
<P>
|
|
This function creates a new match data block for holding the result of a match.
|
|
The first argument points to a compiled pattern. The number of capturing
|
|
parentheses within the pattern is used to compute the number of pairs of
|
|
offsets that are required in the match data block. These form the "output
|
|
vector" (ovector) within the match data block, and are used to identify the
|
|
matched string and any captured substrings when matching with
|
|
<b>pcre2_match()</b>. If you are using <b>pcre2_dfa_match()</b>, which uses the
|
|
outut vector in a different way, you should use <b>pcre2_match_data_create()</b>
|
|
instead of this function.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
The second argument points to a general context, for custom memory management,
|
|
or is NULL to use the same memory allocator as was used for the compiled
|
|
pattern. The result of the function is NULL if the memory for the block could
|
|
not be obtained.
