            Bug ID: 2285
           Summary: Document tolerance for null pointers in specific
                    function parameters
           Product: PCRE
           Version: 10.31 (PCRE2)
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist

Some functions are implemented in the way that they check if a null pointer was
passed as an input parameter.
These functions return then immediately.

Examples:
* pcre2_code_free()

https://vcs.pcre.org/pcre2/code/trunk/src/pcre2_compile.c?revision=941&view=markup#l1172

https://github.com/svn2github/pcre2/blob/1a3e26153fd67e23f8c0c4e053504c2bae1d6547/src/pcre2_compile.c#L1172

* pcre2_match_data_free()

https://vcs.pcre.org/pcre2/code/trunk/src/pcre2_match_data.c?revision=780&view=markup#l89

https://github.com/svn2github/pcre2/blob/89c86560874a8cfa422be7d2b22d18ed6e20635e/src/pcre2_match_data.c#L89


Can such a detail become an official property in the affected application
programming interface?
How would you like to represent information about existing input parameter
validation in the corresponding API documentation?
