40: DESCRIPTION
41: </b><br>
42: <P>
43: This function compiles a regular expression into an internal form. It is the
1.1.1.4 misho 44: same as <b>pcre[16|32]_compile()</b>, except for the addition of the
1.1.1.2 misho 45: <i>errorcodeptr</i> argument. The arguments are:
1.1 misho 46: <pre>
47: <i>pattern</i> A zero-terminated string containing the
48: regular expression to be compiled
49: <i>options</i> Zero or more option bits
50: <i>errorcodeptr</i> Where to put an error code
51: <i>errptr</i> Where to put an error message
52: <i>erroffset</i> Offset in pattern where error was found
53: <i>tableptr</i> Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
54: use the built-in default
55: </pre>
56: The option bits are:
57: <pre>
58: PCRE_ANCHORED Force pattern anchoring
59: PCRE_AUTO_CALLOUT Compile automatic callouts
60: PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF \R matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
61: PCRE_BSR_UNICODE \R matches all Unicode line endings
62: PCRE_CASELESS Do caseless matching
63: PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY $ not to match newline at end
64: PCRE_DOTALL . matches anything including NL
65: PCRE_DUPNAMES Allow duplicate names for subpatterns
1.1.1.3 misho 66: PCRE_EXTENDED Ignore white space and # comments
1.1 misho 67: PCRE_EXTRA PCRE extra features
68: (not much use currently)
69: PCRE_FIRSTLINE Force matching to be before newline
70: PCRE_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT JavaScript compatibility
71: PCRE_MULTILINE ^ and $ match newlines within data
1.1.1.5 ! misho 72: PCRE_NEVER_UTF Lock out UTF, e.g. via (*UTF)
1.1 misho 73: PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY Recognize any Unicode newline sequence
74: PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF Recognize CR, LF, and CRLF as newline
75: sequences
76: PCRE_NEWLINE_CR Set CR as the newline sequence
77: PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF Set CRLF as the newline sequence
78: PCRE_NEWLINE_LF Set LF as the newline sequence
79: PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE Disable numbered capturing paren-
80: theses (named ones available)
1.1.1.5 ! misho 81: PCRE_NO_AUTO_POSSESS Disable auto-possessification
! 82: PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE Disable match-time start optimizations
1.1.1.2 misho 83: PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-16
84: validity (only relevant if
85: PCRE_UTF16 is set)
1.1.1.4 misho 86: PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-32
87: validity (only relevant if
88: PCRE_UTF32 is set)
1.1 misho 89: PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-8
90: validity (only relevant if
91: PCRE_UTF8 is set)
92: PCRE_UCP Use Unicode properties for \d, \w, etc.
93: PCRE_UNGREEDY Invert greediness of quantifiers
1.1.1.2 misho 94: PCRE_UTF16 Run <b>pcre16_compile()</b> in UTF-16 mode
1.1.1.4 misho 95: PCRE_UTF32 Run <b>pcre32_compile()</b> in UTF-32 mode
1.1.1.2 misho 96: PCRE_UTF8 Run <b>pcre_compile()</b> in UTF-8 mode
1.1 misho 97: </pre>
1.1.1.4 misho 98: PCRE must be built with UTF support in order to use PCRE_UTF8/16/32 and
99: PCRE_NO_UTF8/16/32_CHECK, and with UCP support if PCRE_UCP is used.

102: The yield of the function is a pointer to a private data structure that
103: contains the compiled pattern, or NULL if an error was detected. Note that
104: compiling regular expressions with one version of PCRE for use with a different
105: version is not guaranteed to work and may cause crashes.
