Ah, I see.

That's fine. I've attached a small patch with a proposed fix and some unit
tests. Although I this change works in my own project and passes our (*UCP)
unit tests, I can't get pcrecpp_unittest.cc to be compiled with SUPPORT_UTF8
set. I'm compiling with
$ ./configure --enable-unicode-properties --enable-utf
$ make
$ make test
yet my debug output in pcrecpp_unittest.log tells me that the option is not
actually set and the tests are skipped. If you could advise on what I'm
missing, I'd appreciate it!
