Great question, I thought it had come in with the zip file from pcre.org but
on closer examination, it must have existed from version 6.7 (I think)....i
cant be sure as I do not have the original PCRE 6.7.
Presumably I missed copying config.h.generic to config.h and inherited an
older one.
Although this is my mistake, when your starting point is existing code (6.7)
running in a Visual Studio environment and I was not the original developer,
I didn't realize so many steps needed to be done manually to achieve an
upgrade of code to 7.9 - I assumed too much that all I needed to do was to
take newer code and replace it into existing build process.....
Sorry for the time you have spent on this but thanks,

Ive attached the current config.h that appeared to resolve the issue
although I am not sure why.
Fyi, my preprocessor defines are
"NDEBUG;SUPPORT_UTF8;SUPPORT_UCP;PCRE_STATIC;POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD=10;HAVE_
CONFIG_H", the only change to resolve the problem was adding HAVE_CONFIG_H
rather than editing and adding #include
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm glad the problem has been resolved. My problem, in dealing with this kind
of query, is that I have never even *used* Windows, let alone programmed for it
or learned about its apparently many different build environments.
