-README file for PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expression library)
------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The latest release of PCRE is always available from
-
- ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-xxx.tar.gz
-
-There is a mailing list for discussion about the development of PCRE at
-
- pcre-dev@exim.org
-
-Please read the NEWS file if you are upgrading from a previous release.
-The contents of this README file are:

-The PCRE APIs
--------------
-
-PCRE is written in C, and it has its own API. The distribution also includes a
-set of C++ wrapper functions (see the pcrecpp man page for details), courtesy
-of Google Inc.
-
-In addition, there is a set of C wrapper functions that are based on the POSIX
-regular expression API (see the pcreposix man page). These end up in the
-library called libpcreposix. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling
-interface to PCRE; the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax
-and semantics. The POSIX API is restricted, and does not give full access to
-all of PCRE's facilities.
-
-The header file for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h. The
-official POSIX name is regex.h, but I did not want to risk possible problems
-with existing files of that name by distributing it that way. To use PCRE with
-an existing program that uses the POSIX API, pcreposix.h will have to be
-renamed or pointed at by a link.
-
-If you are using the POSIX interface to PCRE and there is already a POSIX regex
-library installed on your system, as well as worrying about the regex.h header
-file (as mentioned above), you must also take care when linking programs to
-ensure that they link with PCRE's libpcreposix library. Otherwise they may pick
-up the POSIX functions of the same name from the other library.
-
-One way of avoiding this confusion is to compile PCRE with the addition of
--Dregcomp=PCREregcomp (and similarly for the other POSIX functions) to the
-compiler flags (CFLAGS if you are using "configure" -- see below). This has the
-effect of renaming the functions so that the names no longer clash. Of course,
-you have to do the same thing for your applications, or write them using the
-new names.
-
-
-Documentation for PCRE
-----------------------
-
-If you install PCRE in the normal way on a Unix-like system, you will end up
-with a set of man pages whose names all start with "pcre". The one that is just
-called "pcre" lists all the others. In addition to these man pages, the PCRE
-documentation is supplied in two other forms:
-
- 1. There are files called doc/pcre.txt, doc/pcregrep.txt, and
- doc/pcretest.txt in the source distribution. The first of these is a
- concatenation of the text forms of all the section 3 man pages except
- those that summarize individual functions. The other two are the text
- forms of the section 1 man pages for the pcregrep and pcretest commands.
- These text forms are provided for ease of scanning with text editors or
- similar tools. They are installed in <prefix>/share/doc/pcre, where
- <prefix> is the installation prefix (defaulting to /usr/local).
-
- 2. A set of files containing all the documentation in HTML form, hyperlinked
- in various ways, and rooted in a file called index.html, is distributed in
- doc/html and installed in <prefix>/share/doc/pcre/html.
-
-
-Contributions by users of PCRE
-------------------------------
-
-You can find contributions from PCRE users in the directory
-
- ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Contrib
-
-There is a README file giving brief descriptions of what they are. Some are
-complete in themselves; others are pointers to URLs containing relevant files.
-Some of this material is likely to be well out-of-date. Several of the earlier
-contributions provided support for compiling PCRE on various flavours of
-Windows (I myself do not use Windows). Nowadays there is more Windows support
-in the standard distribution, so these contibutions have been archived.
-
-
-Building PCRE on non-Unix systems
----------------------------------
-
-For a non-Unix system, please read the comments in the file NON-UNIX-USE,
-though if your system supports the use of "configure" and "make" you may be
-able to build PCRE in the same way as for Unix-like systems. PCRE can also be
-configured in many platform environments using the GUI facility of CMake's
-CMakeSetup. It creates Makefiles, solution files, etc.
-
-PCRE has been compiled on many different operating systems. It should be
-straightforward to build PCRE on any system that has a Standard C compiler and
-library, because it uses only Standard C functions.
-
-
-Building PCRE on Unix-like systems
-----------------------------------
-
-If you are using HP's ANSI C++ compiler (aCC), please see the special note
-in the section entitled "Using HP's ANSI C++ compiler (aCC)" below.
-
-The following instructions assume the use of the widely used "configure, make,
-make install" process. There is also support for CMake in the PCRE
-distribution; there are some comments about using CMake in the NON-UNIX-USE
-file, though it can also be used in Unix-like systems.
-
-To build PCRE on a Unix-like system, first run the "configure" command from the
-PCRE distribution directory, with your current directory set to the directory
-where you want the files to be created. This command is a standard GNU
-"autoconf" configuration script, for which generic instructions are supplied in
-the file INSTALL.
-
-Most commonly, people build PCRE within its own distribution directory, and in
-this case, on many systems, just running "./configure" is sufficient. However,
-the usual methods of changing standard defaults are available. For example:
-
-CFLAGS='-O2 -Wall' ./configure --prefix=/opt/local
-
-specifies that the C compiler should be run with the flags '-O2 -Wall' instead
-of the default, and that "make install" should install PCRE under /opt/local
-instead of the default /usr/local.
-
-If you want to build in a different directory, just run "configure" with that
-directory as current. For example, suppose you have unpacked the PCRE source
-into /source/pcre/pcre-xxx, but you want to build it in /build/pcre/pcre-xxx:
-
-cd /build/pcre/pcre-xxx
-/source/pcre/pcre-xxx/configure
-
-PCRE is written in C and is normally compiled as a C library. However, it is
-possible to build it as a C++ library, though the provided building apparatus
-does not have any features to support this.
-
-There are some optional features that can be included or omitted from the PCRE
-library. You can read more about them in the pcrebuild man page.
-
-. If you want to suppress the building of the C++ wrapper library, you can add
- --disable-cpp to the "configure" command. Otherwise, when "configure" is run,
- it will try to find a C++ compiler and C++ header files, and if it succeeds,
- it will try to build the C++ wrapper.
-
-. If you want to make use of the support for UTF-8 character strings in PCRE,
- you must add --enable-utf8 to the "configure" command. Without it, the code
- for handling UTF-8 is not included in the library. (Even when included, it
- still has to be enabled by an option at run time.)
-
-. If, in addition to support for UTF-8 character strings, you want to include
- support for the \P, \p, and \X sequences that recognize Unicode character
- properties, you must add --enable-unicode-properties to the "configure"
- command. This adds about 30K to the size of the library (in the form of a
- property table); only the basic two-letter properties such as Lu are
- supported.
-
-. You can build PCRE to recognize either CR or LF or the sequence CRLF or any
- of the preceding, or any of the Unicode newline sequences as indicating the
- end of a line. Whatever you specify at build time is the default; the caller
- of PCRE can change the selection at run time. The default newline indicator
- is a single LF character (the Unix standard). You can specify the default
- newline indicator by adding --enable-newline-is-cr or --enable-newline-is-lf
- or --enable-newline-is-crlf or --enable-newline-is-anycrlf or
- --enable-newline-is-any to the "configure" command, respectively.
-
- If you specify --enable-newline-is-cr or --enable-newline-is-crlf, some of
- the standard tests will fail, because the lines in the test files end with
- LF. Even if the files are edited to change the line endings, there are likely
- to be some failures. With --enable-newline-is-anycrlf or
- --enable-newline-is-any, many tests should succeed, but there may be some
- failures.
-
-. By default, the sequence \R in a pattern matches any Unicode line ending
- sequence. This is independent of the option specifying what PCRE considers to
- be the end of a line (see above). However, the caller of PCRE can restrict \R
- to match only CR, LF, or CRLF. You can make this the default by adding
- --enable-bsr-anycrlf to the "configure" command (bsr = "backslash R").
-
-. When called via the POSIX interface, PCRE uses malloc() to get additional
- storage for processing capturing parentheses if there are more than 10 of
- them in a pattern. You can increase this threshold by setting, for example,
-
- --with-posix-malloc-threshold=20
-
- on the "configure" command.
-
-. PCRE has a counter that can be set to limit the amount of resources it uses.
- If the limit is exceeded during a match, the match fails. The default is ten
- million. You can change the default by setting, for example,
-
- --with-match-limit=500000
-
- on the "configure" command. This is just the default; individual calls to
- pcre_exec() can supply their own value. There is more discussion on the
- pcreapi man page.
-
-. There is a separate counter that limits the depth of recursive function calls
- during a matching process. This also has a default of ten million, which is
- essentially "unlimited". You can change the default by setting, for example,
-
- --with-match-limit-recursion=500000
-
- Recursive function calls use up the runtime stack; running out of stack can
- cause programs to crash in strange ways. There is a discussion about stack
- sizes in the pcrestack man page.
-
-. The default maximum compiled pattern size is around 64K. You can increase
- this by adding --with-link-size=3 to the "configure" command. You can
- increase it even more by setting --with-link-size=4, but this is unlikely
- ever to be necessary. Increasing the internal link size will reduce
- performance.
-
-. You can build PCRE so that its internal match() function that is called from
- pcre_exec() does not call itself recursively. Instead, it uses memory blocks
- obtained from the heap via the special functions pcre_stack_malloc() and
- pcre_stack_free() to save data that would otherwise be saved on the stack. To
- build PCRE like this, use
-
- --disable-stack-for-recursion
-
- on the "configure" command. PCRE runs more slowly in this mode, but it may be
- necessary in environments with limited stack sizes. This applies only to the
- pcre_exec() function; it does not apply to pcre_dfa_exec(), which does not
- use deeply nested recursion. There is a discussion about stack sizes in the
- pcrestack man page.
-
-. For speed, PCRE uses four tables for manipulating and identifying characters
- whose code point values are less than 256. By default, it uses a set of
- tables for ASCII encoding that is part of the distribution. If you specify
-
- --enable-rebuild-chartables
-
- a program called dftables is compiled and run in the default C locale when
- you obey "make". It builds a source file called pcre_chartables.c. If you do
- not specify this option, pcre_chartables.c is created as a copy of
- pcre_chartables.c.dist. See "Character tables" below for further information.
-
-. It is possible to compile PCRE for use on systems that use EBCDIC as their
- default character code (as opposed to ASCII) by specifying
-
- --enable-ebcdic
-
- This automatically implies --enable-rebuild-chartables (see above).
-
-. It is possible to compile pcregrep to use libz and/or libbz2, in order to
- read .gz and .bz2 files (respectively), by specifying one or both of
-
- --enable-pcregrep-libz
- --enable-pcregrep-libbz2
-
- Of course, the relevant libraries must be installed on your system.
-
-. It is possible to compile pcretest so that it links with the libreadline
- library, by specifying
-
- --enable-pcretest-libreadline
-
- If this is done, when pcretest's input is from a terminal, it reads it using
- the readline() function. This provides line-editing and history facilities.
- Note that libreadline is GPL-licenced, so if you distribute a binary of
- pcretest linked in this way, there may be licensing issues.
-
- Setting this option causes the -lreadline option to be added to the pcretest
- build. In many operating environments with a sytem-installed readline
- library this is sufficient. However, in some environments (e.g. if an
- unmodified distribution version of readline is in use), it may be necessary
- to specify something like LIBS="-lncurses" as well. This is because, to quote
- the readline INSTALL, "Readline uses the termcap functions, but does not link
- with the termcap or curses library itself, allowing applications which link
- with readline the to choose an appropriate library."
-
-The "configure" script builds the following files for the basic C library:
-
-. Makefile is the makefile that builds the library
-. config.h contains build-time configuration options for the library
-. pcre.h is the public PCRE header file
-. pcre-config is a script that shows the settings of "configure" options
-. libpcre.pc is data for the pkg-config command
-. libtool is a script that builds shared and/or static libraries
-. RunTest is a script for running tests on the basic C library
-. RunGrepTest is a script for running tests on the pcregrep command
-
-Versions of config.h and pcre.h are distributed in the PCRE tarballs under
-the names config.h.generic and pcre.h.generic. These are provided for the
-benefit of those who have to built PCRE without the benefit of "configure". If
-you use "configure", the .generic versions are not used.
-
-If a C++ compiler is found, the following files are also built:
-
-. libpcrecpp.pc is data for the pkg-config command
-. pcrecpparg.h is a header file for programs that call PCRE via the C++ wrapper
-. pcre_stringpiece.h is the header for the C++ "stringpiece" functions
-
-The "configure" script also creates config.status, which is an executable
-script that can be run to recreate the configuration, and config.log, which
-contains compiler output from tests that "configure" runs.
-
-Once "configure" has run, you can run "make". It builds two libraries, called
-libpcre and libpcreposix, a test program called pcretest, and the pcregrep
-command. If a C++ compiler was found on your system, "make" also builds the C++
-wrapper library, which is called libpcrecpp, and some test programs called
-pcrecpp_unittest, pcre_scanner_unittest, and pcre_stringpiece_unittest.
-Building the C++ wrapper can be disabled by adding --disable-cpp to the
-"configure" command.
-
-The command "make check" runs all the appropriate tests. Details of the PCRE
-tests are given below in a separate section of this document.
-
-You can use "make install" to install PCRE into live directories on your
-system. The following are installed (file names are all relative to the
-<prefix> that is set when "configure" is run):
-
- Commands (bin):
- pcretest
- pcregrep
- pcre-config
-
- Libraries (lib):
- libpcre
- libpcreposix
- libpcrecpp (if C++ support is enabled)
-
- Configuration information (lib/pkgconfig):
- libpcre.pc
- libpcrecpp.pc (if C++ support is enabled)
-
- Header files (include):
- pcre.h
- pcreposix.h
- pcre_scanner.h )
- pcre_stringpiece.h ) if C++ support is enabled
- pcrecpp.h )
- pcrecpparg.h )
-
- Man pages (share/man/man{1,3}):
- pcregrep.1
- pcretest.1

- pcregrep.txt the pcregrep man page
-
-If you want to remove PCRE from your system, you can run "make uninstall".
-This removes all the files that "make install" installed. However, it does not
-remove any directories, because these are often shared with other programs.
-
-
-Retrieving configuration information on Unix-like systems
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-Running "make install" installs the command pcre-config, which can be used to
-recall information about the PCRE configuration and installation. For example:
-
- pcre-config --version
-
-prints the version number, and
-
- pcre-config --libs
-
-outputs information about where the library is installed. This command can be
-included in makefiles for programs that use PCRE, saving the programmer from
-having to remember too many details.
-
-The pkg-config command is another system for saving and retrieving information
-about installed libraries. Instead of separate commands for each library, a
-single command is used. For example:
-
- pkg-config --cflags pcre
-
-The data is held in *.pc files that are installed in a directory called
-<prefix>/lib/pkgconfig.
-
-
-Shared libraries on Unix-like systems
--------------------------------------
-
-The default distribution builds PCRE as shared libraries and static libraries,
-as long as the operating system supports shared libraries. Shared library
-support relies on the "libtool" script which is built as part of the
-"configure" process.
-
-The libtool script is used to compile and link both shared and static
-libraries. They are placed in a subdirectory called .libs when they are newly
-built. The programs pcretest and pcregrep are built to use these uninstalled
-libraries (by means of wrapper scripts in the case of shared libraries). When
-you use "make install" to install shared libraries, pcregrep and pcretest are
-automatically re-built to use the newly installed shared libraries before being
-installed themselves. However, the versions left in the build directory still
-use the uninstalled libraries.
-
-To build PCRE using static libraries only you must use --disable-shared when
-configuring it. For example:
-
-./configure --prefix=/usr/gnu --disable-shared
-
-Then run "make" in the usual way. Similarly, you can use --disable-static to
-build only shared libraries.
-
-
-Cross-compiling on Unix-like systems
-------------------------------------
-
-You can specify CC and CFLAGS in the normal way to the "configure" command, in
-order to cross-compile PCRE for some other host. However, you should NOT
-specify --enable-rebuild-chartables, because if you do, the dftables.c source
-file is compiled and run on the local host, in order to generate the inbuilt
-character tables (the pcre_chartables.c file). This will probably not work,
-because dftables.c needs to be compiled with the local compiler, not the cross
-compiler.
-
-When --enable-rebuild-chartables is not specified, pcre_chartables.c is created
-by making a copy of pcre_chartables.c.dist, which is a default set of tables
-that assumes ASCII code. Cross-compiling with the default tables should not be
-a problem.
-
-If you need to modify the character tables when cross-compiling, you should
-move pcre_chartables.c.dist out of the way, then compile dftables.c by hand and
-run it on the local host to make a new version of pcre_chartables.c.dist.
-Then when you cross-compile PCRE this new version of the tables will be used.
-
-
-Using HP's ANSI C++ compiler (aCC)
-----------------------------------
-
-Unless C++ support is disabled by specifying the "--disable-cpp" option of the
-"configure" script, you must include the "-AA" option in the CXXFLAGS
-environment variable in order for the C++ components to compile correctly.
-
-Also, note that the aCC compiler on PA-RISC platforms may have a defect whereby
-needed libraries fail to get included when specifying the "-AA" compiler
-option. If you experience unresolved symbols when linking the C++ programs,
-use the workaround of specifying the following environment variable prior to
-running the "configure" script:
-
- CXXLDFLAGS="-lstd_v2 -lCsup_v2"
-
-
-Making new tarballs
--------------------
-
-The command "make dist" creates three PCRE tarballs, in tar.gz, tar.bz2, and
-zip formats. The command "make distcheck" does the same, but then does a trial
-build of the new distribution to ensure that it works.
-
-If you have modified any of the man page sources in the doc directory, you
-should first run the PrepareRelease script before making a distribution. This
-script creates the .txt and HTML forms of the documentation from the man pages.
-
-
-Testing PCRE
-------------
-
-To test the basic PCRE library on a Unix system, run the RunTest script that is
-created by the configuring process. There is also a script called RunGrepTest
-that tests the options of the pcregrep command. If the C++ wrapper library is
-built, three test programs called pcrecpp_unittest, pcre_scanner_unittest, and
-pcre_stringpiece_unittest are also built.
-
-Both the scripts and all the program tests are run if you obey "make check" or
-"make test". For other systems, see the instructions in NON-UNIX-USE.
-
-The RunTest script runs the pcretest test program (which is documented in its
-own man page) on each of the testinput files in the testdata directory in
-turn, and compares the output with the contents of the corresponding testoutput
-files. A file called testtry is used to hold the main output from pcretest
-(testsavedregex is also used as a working file). To run pcretest on just one of
-the test files, give its number as an argument to RunTest, for example:
-
- RunTest 2
-
-The first test file can also be fed directly into the perltest.pl script to
-check that Perl gives the same results. The only difference you should see is
-in the first few lines, where the Perl version is given instead of the PCRE
-version.
-
-The second set of tests check pcre_fullinfo(), pcre_info(), pcre_study(),
-pcre_copy_substring(), pcre_get_substring(), pcre_get_substring_list(), error
-detection, and run-time flags that are specific to PCRE, as well as the POSIX
-wrapper API. It also uses the debugging flags to check some of the internals of
-pcre_compile().
-
-If you build PCRE with a locale setting that is not the standard C locale, the
-character tables may be different (see next paragraph). In some cases, this may
-cause failures in the second set of tests. For example, in a locale where the
-isprint() function yields TRUE for characters in the range 128-255, the use of
-[:isascii:] inside a character class defines a different set of characters, and
-this shows up in this test as a difference in the compiled code, which is being
-listed for checking. Where the comparison test output contains [\x00-\x7f] the
-test will contain [\x00-\xff], and similarly in some other cases. This is not a
-bug in PCRE.
-
-The third set of tests checks pcre_maketables(), the facility for building a
-set of character tables for a specific locale and using them instead of the
-default tables. The tests make use of the "fr_FR" (French) locale. Before
-running the test, the script checks for the presence of this locale by running
-the "locale" command. If that command fails, or if it doesn't include "fr_FR"
-in the list of available locales, the third test cannot be run, and a comment
-is output to say why. If running this test produces instances of the error
-
- ** Failed to set locale "fr_FR"
-
-in the comparison output, it means that locale is not available on your system,
-despite being listed by "locale". This does not mean that PCRE is broken.
-
-[If you are trying to run this test on Windows, you may be able to get it to
-work by changing "fr_FR" to "french" everywhere it occurs. Alternatively, use
-RunTest.bat. The version of RunTest.bat included with PCRE 7.4 and above uses
-Windows versions of test 2. More info on using RunTest.bat is included in the
-document entitled NON-UNIX-USE.]
-
-The fourth test checks the UTF-8 support. It is not run automatically unless
-PCRE is built with UTF-8 support. To do this you must set --enable-utf8 when
-running "configure". This file can be also fed directly to the perltest script,
-provided you are running Perl 5.8 or higher. (For Perl 5.6, a small patch,
-commented in the script, can be be used.)
-
-The fifth test checks error handling with UTF-8 encoding, and internal UTF-8
-features of PCRE that are not relevant to Perl.
-
-The sixth test checks the support for Unicode character properties. It it not
-run automatically unless PCRE is built with Unicode property support. To to
-this you must set --enable-unicode-properties when running "configure".
-
-The seventh, eighth, and ninth tests check the pcre_dfa_exec() alternative
-matching function, in non-UTF-8 mode, UTF-8 mode, and UTF-8 mode with Unicode
-property support, respectively. The eighth and ninth tests are not run
-automatically unless PCRE is build with the relevant support.
-
-
-Character tables
-----------------
-
-For speed, PCRE uses four tables for manipulating and identifying characters
-whose code point values are less than 256. The final argument of the
-pcre_compile() function is a pointer to a block of memory containing the
-concatenated tables. A call to pcre_maketables() can be used to generate a set
-of tables in the current locale. If the final argument for pcre_compile() is
-passed as NULL, a set of default tables that is built into the binary is used.
-
-The source file called pcre_chartables.c contains the default set of tables. By
-default, this is created as a copy of pcre_chartables.c.dist, which contains
-tables for ASCII coding. However, if --enable-rebuild-chartables is specified
-for ./configure, a different version of pcre_chartables.c is built by the
-program dftables (compiled from dftables.c), which uses the ANSI C character
-handling functions such as isalnum(), isalpha(), isupper(), islower(), etc. to
-build the table sources. This means that the default C locale which is set for
-your system will control the contents of these default tables. You can change
-the default tables by editing pcre_chartables.c and then re-building PCRE. If
-you do this, you should take care to ensure that the file does not get
-automatically re-generated. The best way to do this is to move
-pcre_chartables.c.dist out of the way and replace it with your customized
-tables.
-
-When the dftables program is run as a result of --enable-rebuild-chartables,
-it uses the default C locale that is set on your system. It does not pay
-attention to the LC_xxx environment variables. In other words, it uses the
-system's default locale rather than whatever the compiling user happens to have
-set. If you really do want to build a source set of character tables in a
-locale that is specified by the LC_xxx variables, you can run the dftables
-program by hand with the -L option. For example:
-
- ./dftables -L pcre_chartables.c.special

-The first two 256-byte tables provide lower casing and case flipping functions,
-respectively. The next table consists of three 32-byte bit maps which identify
-digits, "word" characters, and white space, respectively. These are used when
-building 32-byte bit maps that represent character classes for code points less
-than 256.
-
-The final 256-byte table has bits indicating various character types, as
-follows:
-
- 1 white space character
- 2 letter
- 4 decimal digit
- 8 hexadecimal digit
- 16 alphanumeric or '_'
- 128 regular expression metacharacter or binary zero
-
-You should not alter the set of characters that contain the 128 bit, as that
-will cause PCRE to malfunction.
