PCRE2_SET_MAX_PATTERN_LENGTH(3) Introduction to Library Functions
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
#include <pcre2.h>
int pcre2_set_max_pattern_length(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
PCRE2_SIZE value);
This function sets, in a compile context, the maximum text length (in
code units) of the pattern that can be compiled. The result is always
zero. If a longer pattern is passed to pcre2_compile() there is an
immediate error return. The default is effectively unlimited, being
the largest value a PCRE2_SIZE variable can hold.
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.
