NAME top

       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_optimize(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
         uint32_t directive);

DESCRIPTION top


       This function controls which performance optimizations will be
       applied by pcre2_compile(). It can be called multiple times with
       the same compile context; the effects are cumulative, with the
       effects of later calls taking precedence over earlier ones.

       The result is zero for success, PCRE2_ERROR_NULL if ccontext is
       NULL, or PCRE2_ERROR_BADOPTION if directive is unknown. The latter
       could be useful to detect if a certain optimization is available.

       The list of possible values for the directive parameter are:

         PCRE2_OPTIMIZATION_FULL   Enable all optimizations (default)
         PCRE2_OPTIMIZATION_NONE   Disable all optimizations
         PCRE2_AUTO_POSSESS        Enable auto-possessification
         PCRE2_AUTO_POSSESS_OFF    Disable auto-possessification
         PCRE2_DOTSTAR_ANCHOR      Enable implicit dotstar anchoring
         PCRE2_DOTSTAR_ANCHOR_OFF  Disable implicit dotstar anchoring
         PCRE2_START_OPTIMIZE      Enable start-up optimizations at match
       time
         PCRE2_START_OPTIMIZE_OFF  Disable start-up optimizations at
       match time

       There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API, including
       detailed descriptions directive parameter values in the pcre2api
       page.
