http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049 --- Comment #45 from Giuseppe D'Angelo <[email protected]> 2011-12-30 12:05:51 --- Hi, > True, but the library itself is ready to try, and we would be really happy if > you would give us feedback about the library (especially from those who plan > to > use it). First of all, thank you very, very much for the job! > With --enable-pcre8 the usual libpcre is created. Same performance, same > binary > size, it is not really changed. We hope this keep users of the 8 bit library > happy. However, with --enable-pcre16 a new, libpcre16 library is created, > which > contains the 16 bit functions. Just out of curiosity, but which encoding do the 16 bit versions expect/support when PCRE is built without UTF support? > The API itself is pretty simple: every function has a 16 bit counterpart, > starting with pcre16_ prefix. I.e: pcre_compile, pcre16_compile. That's all. > They have the same arguments, except some char* pointers are replaced to > short* > when appropriate. > > Example: > PCRE_EXP_DECL pcre *pcre_compile(const char *, int, const char **, int *, > const unsigned char *); > PCRE_EXP_DECL pcre *pcre16_compile(PCRE_SPTR16, int, const char **, int *, > const unsigned char *); Reading between the lines, am I correct when I assume that: - should use PCRE_UTF16 / PCRE_NO_UTF16_CHECK with the pcre16 functions (instead of PCRE_UTF8)? - BOM is not handled at all -- only host endianess is supported? - the offsets in the ovector, and the various error offsets, are in 16 bit code units? - the name table entry length returned by pcre16_fullinfo with PCRE_INFO_NAMEENTRYSIZE is still in bytes, but the table itself returned by PCRE_INFO_NAMETABLE contains 16 bit strings (as they appear in the 16 bit pattern) and every row is terminated by a 16 bit NUL (0x0000)? > PCRE_SPTR16 is const short * Why not using an unsigned short here?
