PCRE is a library designed to implement regular expression pattern matching. It uses the same syntax and semantics as Perl, with just a few differences.

Some features that appeared in Python and PCRE before they appeared in Perl are also available using the Python syntax, there is some support for one or two .NET and Oniguruma syntax items, and there is an option for requesting some minor changes that give better JavaScript compatibility.

Starting with release 8.30, it is possible to compile two separate PCRE libraries: the original, which supports 8-bit character strings (including UTF-8 strings), and a second library that supports 16-bit character strings (including UTF-16 strings). The build process allows either one or both to be built.

What's new in PCRE 8.30:

  • Renamed "isnumber" as "is_a_number" because in some Mac environments this name is defined in ctype.h.
  • Fixed a bug in fixed-length calculation for okbehinds that would show up only in quite long subpatterns.
  • Removed the function pcre_info(), which has been obsolete and deprecated since it was replaced by pcre_fullinfo() in February 2000.
  • For a non-anchored pattern, if (*SKIP) was given with a name that did not match a (*MARK), and the match failed at the start of the subject, a reference to memory before the start of the subject could occur. This bug was introduced by fix 17 of release 8.21.
