PCRE2_CODE_COPY(3) Introduction to Library Functions PCRE2_CODE_COPY(3)

NAME

PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS

#include <pcre2.h>

pcre2_code *pcre2_code_copy_with_tables(const pcre2_code *code);

DESCRIPTION

This function makes a copy of the memory used for a compiled pattern,
excluding any memory used by the JIT compiler. Without a subsequent
call to pcre2_jit_compile(), the copy can be used only for non-JIT
matching. Unlike pcre2_code_copy(), a separate copy of the character
tables is also made, with the new code pointing to it. This memory
will be automatically freed when pcre2_code_free() is called. The
yield of the function is NULL if code is NULL or if sufficient memory
cannot be obtained.

There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
pcre2api page and a description of the POSIX API in the pcre2posix
page.
