Hello Philip,

today I had massive problems with linking a previously compiled static lib file
of PCRE2 10.22.
After some hours I detected that the problem was, that the project, where I was
linking the PCRE2 lib file into, had the setting "default calling convention =
stdcall".

In the generated pcre2.h no calling convention is specified, so the default is
used.
The default of PCRE2 is (on Visual Studio) equal to "cdecl".

It would be very nice, if there would be a setting for CMake to specify the
calling convention of PCRE2.
I had seen that in bug 710 the preprocessor constant "PCRE_CALL_CONVENTION" had
been added, but there is nothing like this in PCRE2.

Is there a reason why it had been discarded?
A preprocessor constant, which is included in each function declaration, would
be good.
It would also be possible to keep the value of the preprocessor constant empty,
so the current behaviour ("use setting from makefile/project settings") could
also be used.


Kind Regards
David Gausmann
