The current PCRE source file download includes the C++ wrapper, which is
bundled with the C language code.
Heads up 1: the C++ wrapper is no longer maintained, as the original
maintainer moved jobs and nobody has taken it up. None of the PCRE
maintainers are C++ programmers.
Heads up 2: shortly (around Christmas) there will be a completely new
API for PCRE released (called PCRE2). This will not have a C++ wrapper.
I now feel that any C++ wrapper(s) should be maintained as separate
project(s).
Aside: Other people have produced different C++ wrappers. See, for
example,
