+DESCRIPTION
+</b><br>
+<P>
+This function compiles a regular expression into an internal form. It is the
+same as <b>pcre[16|32]_compile2()</b>, except for the absence of the
+<i>errorcodeptr</i> argument. Its arguments are:
+<pre>
+ <i>pattern</i> A zero-terminated string containing the
+ regular expression to be compiled
+ <i>options</i> Zero or more option bits
+ <i>errptr</i> Where to put an error message
+ <i>erroffset</i> Offset in pattern where error was found
+ <i>tableptr</i> Pointer to character tables, or NULL to
+ use the built-in default
+</pre>
+The option bits are:
+<pre>
+ PCRE_ANCHORED Force pattern anchoring
+ PCRE_AUTO_CALLOUT Compile automatic callouts
+ PCRE_BSR_ANYCRLF \R matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
+ PCRE_BSR_UNICODE \R matches all Unicode line endings
+ PCRE_CASELESS Do caseless matching
+ PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY $ not to match newline at end
+ PCRE_DOTALL . matches anything including NL
+ PCRE_DUPNAMES Allow duplicate names for subpatterns
+ PCRE_EXTENDED Ignore white space and # comments
+ PCRE_EXTRA PCRE extra features
+ (not much use currently)
+ PCRE_FIRSTLINE Force matching to be before newline
+ PCRE_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT JavaScript compatibility
+ PCRE_MULTILINE ^ and $ match newlines within data
+ PCRE_NEVER_UTF Lock out UTF, e.g. via (*UTF)
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY Recognize any Unicode newline sequence
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF Recognize CR, LF, and CRLF as newline
+ sequences
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_CR Set CR as the newline sequence
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_CRLF Set CRLF as the newline sequence
+ PCRE_NEWLINE_LF Set LF as the newline sequence
+ PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE Disable numbered capturing paren-
+ theses (named ones available)
+ PCRE_NO_AUTO_POSSESS Disable auto-possessification
+ PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE Disable match-time start optimizations
+ PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-16
+ validity (only relevant if
+ PCRE_UTF16 is set)
+ PCRE_NO_UTF32_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-32
+ validity (only relevant if
+ PCRE_UTF32 is set)
+ PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK Do not check the pattern for UTF-8
+ validity (only relevant if
+ PCRE_UTF8 is set)
+ PCRE_UCP Use Unicode properties for \d, \w, etc.
+ PCRE_UNGREEDY Invert greediness of quantifiers
+ PCRE_UTF16 Run in <b>pcre16_compile()</b> UTF-16 mode
+ PCRE_UTF32 Run in <b>pcre32_compile()</b> UTF-32 mode
+ PCRE_UTF8 Run in <b>pcre_compile()</b> UTF-8 mode
+</pre>
+PCRE must be built with UTF support in order to use PCRE_UTF8/16/32 and
+PCRE_NO_UTF8/16/32_CHECK, and with UCP support if PCRE_UCP is used.
+</P>
+<P>
+The yield of the function is a pointer to a private data structure that
+contains the compiled pattern, or NULL if an error was detected. Note that
+compiling regular expressions with one version of PCRE for use with a different
+version is not guaranteed to work and may cause crashes.
