It would probably be the best to use opaque pointers. This way, you
can change its memory layout at any time (f.i. adding new fields)
without breaking ABI compatibility and without having to allocate
extra memory in a (opaque?) pointer inside the pcre_context structure.
One could either request one to be allocated by PCRE, or invoke a PCRE
function to know the size in bytes of the structure, size to be passed
to malloc or a custom allocation routine.
