.TH PCRE2_SET_MAX_PATTERN_COMPILED_LENGTH 3 "24 April 2024" "PCRE2 10.44"
.SH NAME
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.rs
.sp
.B #include <pcre2.h>
.PP
.nf
.B int pcre2_set_max_pattern_compiled_length(
.B " pcre2_compile_context *\fIccontext\fP, PCRE2_SIZE \fIvalue\fP);"
.fi
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.rs
.sp
This function sets, in a compile context, the maximum size (in bytes) for the
memory needed to hold the compiled version of a pattern that is compiled with
this context. The result is always zero. If a pattern that is passed to
\fBpcre2_compile()\fP with this context needs more memory, an error is
generated. The default is the largest number that a PCRE2_SIZE variable can
hold, which is effectively unlimited.
