Update bundled PCRE2-library to version 10.23
Some manual changes done to the library were lost with this update. They will be added in the next commit.

The demonstration program, which uses the PCRE2 8-bit library, compiles the

The code in <b>pcre2demo.c</b> is an 8-bit program that uses the PCRE2 8-bit
|
||||
library. It handles strings and characters that are stored in 8-bit code units.
|
||||
By default, one character corresponds to one code unit, but if the pattern
|
||||
starts with "(*UTF)", both it and the subject are treated as UTF-8 strings,
|
||||
where characters may occupy multiple code units.

If PCRE2 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:
|
||||
a command like this:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
gcc -o pcre2demo pcre2demo.c -lpcre2-8
|
||||
cc -o pcre2demo pcre2demo.c -lpcre2-8
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
If PCRE2 is installed elsewhere, you may need to add additional options to the
|
||||
command line. For example, on a Unix-like system that has PCRE2 installed in
|
||||
<i>/usr/local</i>, you can compile the demonstration program using a command
|
||||
like this:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
gcc -o pcre2demo -I/usr/local/include pcre2demo.c -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre2-8
|
||||
|
||||
</PRE>
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Once you have compiled and linked the demonstration program, you can run simple
|
||||
tests like this:
|
||||
cc -o pcre2demo -I/usr/local/include pcre2demo.c -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre2-8
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
Once you have built the demonstration program, you can run simple tests like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
./pcre2demo 'cat|dog' 'the cat sat on the mat'
|
||||
./pcre2demo -g 'cat|dog' 'the dog sat on the cat'
|
||||
</pre>
|
