+Return the size of the compiled pattern. The fourth argument should point to a
+\fBsize_t\fP variable. This value does not include the size of the \fBpcre\fP
+structure that is returned by \fBpcre_compile()\fP. The value that is passed as
+the argument to \fBpcre_malloc()\fP when \fBpcre_compile()\fP is getting memory
+in which to place the compiled data is the value returned by this option plus
+the size of the \fBpcre\fP structure. Studying a compiled pattern, with or
+without JIT, does not alter the value returned by this option.
