Gulp. I never envisaged PCRE being compiled as a kernel module.

int64_t is not Standard C, is it? I don't know which systems do/don't
support int64_t, but I have to be very careful to keep the code of PCRE
as standard as possible.

Good point.

Again, I didn't envisage PCRE being compiled as part of something else,
but of course there's no harm.


Patch noted for when I next work on the code. Thanks for the
suggestions.
