The issue at [0] was opened and I just took a stab at it. I have no
prior experience with pcre and pcre2, but using [1,2] I hacked together
something that seems to work. Next, Michael told me to turn that
patch/hack into a PR, so here we are.
The dependency in meson.build now uses version:'>=10', but this is more
a random guess than actual knowledge.
There was a while loop in regex_new() that dealt with an error when pcre
was not compiled with UTF-8 support. This loop uses a magic constant of
32 for the error code. I just dropped this loop, because I was just
writing a hack and did not intend to turn this into a PR. Also, a quick "grep
32 /usr/include/pcre.h" does not find anything useful, so... *shrug*
pcre_study() was removed without replacement, so the corresponding code
is also simply removed.
Testing done: The test suite passes for me. YMMV.
