A "configure" script is now used to configure PCRE for Unix systems. It -builds a Makefile, a config.h file, and the pcre-config script. - -2. PCRE is built as a shared library by default. - -3. There is support for POSIX classes such as [:alpha:]. - -5. There is an experimental recursion feature. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSIONS BEFORE 2.00 - -Please note that there has been a change in the API such that a larger -ovector is required at matching time, to provide some additional workspace. -The new man page has details. This change was necessary in order to support -some of the new functionality in Perl 5.005. - - IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.00 - -Another (I hope this is the last!) change has been made to the API for the -pcre_compile() function. An additional argument has been added to make it -possible to pass over a pointer to character tables built in the current -locale by pcre_maketables(). To use the default tables, this new arguement -should be passed as NULL. - - IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.05 - -Yet another (and again I hope this really is the last) change has been made -to the API for the pcre_exec() function. An additional argument has been -added to make it possible to start the match other than at the start of the -subject string. This is important if there are lookbehinds. The new man -page has the details, but you just want to convert existing programs, all -you need to do is to stick in a new fifth argument to pcre_exec(), with a -value of zero. For example, change - - pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, options, ovec, ovecsize) -to - pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, 0, options, ovec, ovecsize) - -**** |
