libpcre for debian
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the older PCRE library (called "PCRE" upstream); you should
|
|
use the pcre2 packages (called "PCRE2" upstream) for new projects, and
|
|
aim to migrate existing projects to pcre2. Upstream is hoping to drop
|
|
support for pcre3 in the near future.
|
|
|
|
Upstream's library version is much lower than Debian's - PCRE_LIB_VERSION=0:1:0
|
|
instead of 13:0:10 (soname libpcre.so.0 instead of libpcre.so.3)
|
|
|
|
The other change I made is to prefix the names of the functions in libpcreposix
|
|
with "pcreposix_". This is required so they don't clash with the ones in
|
|
libc. Suitable #defines have been added to pcreposix.h so that the
|
|
unprefixed names can be used.
