pcre2

Regular Expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5.

Run the following Vcpkg command to install the port.

vcpkg install pcre2

pcre2 provides CMake targets:

find_package(pcre2 CONFIG REQUIRED)

target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE PCRE2::8BIT)

target_compile_definitions(main PRIVATE PCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH=8)

Choose the interface your application uses:

PCRE2::8BIT - 8-bit code units (including UTF-8)

PCRE2::16BIT - 16-bit code units (including UTF-16)

PCRE2::32BIT - 32-bit code units (including UTF-32)

PCRE2::POSIX - POSIX wrapper around the 8-bit library

For the native API, define PCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH to match the chosen library

before including <pcre2.h>, either in your source or as shown above.

The POSIX interface uses <pcre2posix.h> and needs no code-unit width definition.

pcre2 provides matching pkg-config modules:

libpcre2-8

libpcre2-16

libpcre2-32

libpcre2-posix
