--- Comment #1 from Philip Hazel <ph10@???> ---
I'm afraid there are several problems with this:
(1) PCRE1 (the 8.xx series) is obsolete. PCRE2 (the 10.xx series) was released
over 3 years ago, and that is where all development is happening.
(2) The C++ wrapper for PCRE1 came from, and was maintained by, a contributor
for a number of years, but several years ago he moved on, and as I am not a C++
programmer, it is now unmaintained.
(3) There is no C++ wrapper for the PCRE2 library. This is partly because of
the departure of the PCRE1 C++ maintainer, but also because I came to realize
that there are a number of different ways one could wrap PCRE2 into C++ and it
would be better to have separate, independent wrappers to people's taste.
However, I do not know of any such wrappers being produced.
If you can produce a relatively simple patch for the 8.42 code that fixes this,
I would be prepared to apply it, in case there is ever an 8.43 release (at
present, there have been no changes to the source files since 8.42). I'm afraid
that's all I can offer.
