       PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)

SYNOPSIS top


       #include <pcre2.h>

       int pcre2_set_compile_recursion_guard(pcre2_compile_context *ccontext,
         int (*guard_function)(uint32_t, void *), void *user_data);

DESCRIPTION top


       This function defines, within a compile context, a function that
       is called whenever pcre2_compile() starts to compile a
       parenthesized part of a pattern. The first argument to the
       function gives the current depth of parenthesis nesting, and the
       second is user data that is supplied when the function is set up.
       The callout function should return zero if all is well, or non-
       zero to force an error. This feature is provided so that
       applications can check the available system stack space, in order
       to avoid running out. The result of
       pcre2_set_compile_recursion_guard() is always zero.

       There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
       pcre2api page and a description of the POSIX API in the
       pcre2posix page.
