PCRE2_CODE_COPY(3) Library Functions Manual PCRE2_CODE_COPY(3)
NAME
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pcre2.h>
pcre2_code *pcre2_code_copy(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. The pointer to the character tables is copied, not the tables
themselves (see pcre2_code_copy_with_tables()). The yield of the func-
tion 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.
