+The \fBmemory\fP modifier causes \fBpcre2test\fP to log all heap memory
+allocation and freeing calls that occur during a call to \fBpcre2_match()\fP.
+These occur only when a match requires a bigger vector than the default for
+remembering backtracking points. In many cases there will be none. No heap
+memory is allocated during matching with \fBpcre2_dfa_match\fP or with JIT.
