The items in the PCRE distribution and Makefile that relate to +anything other than Linux systems are untested by me. + +There are some other comments and files (including some documentation in CHM +format) in the Contrib directory on the FTP site: + + ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Contrib + +The basic PCRE library consists entirely of code written in Standard C, and so +should compile successfully on any system that has a Standard C compiler and +library. The C++ wrapper functions are a separate issue (see below). + +The PCRE distribution includes a "configure" file for use by the configure/make +(autotools) build system, as found in many Unix-like environments. The README +file contains information about the options for "configure". + +There is also support for CMake, which some users prefer, especially in Windows +environments, though it can also be run in Unix-like environments. See the +section entitled "Building PCRE on Windows with CMake" below. + +Versions of config.h and pcre.h are distributed in the PCRE tarballs under the +names config.h.generic and pcre.h.generic. These are provided for those who +build PCRE without using "configure" or CMake. If you use "configure" or CMake, +the .generic versions are not used. + + +GENERIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PCRE C LIBRARY + +The following are generic instructions for building the PCRE C library "by +hand". If you are going to use CMake, this section does not apply to you; you +can skip ahead to the CMake section. + + (1) Copy or rename the file config.h.generic as config.h, and edit the macro + settings that it contains to whatever is appropriate for your environment. + + In particular, you can alter the definition of the NEWLINE macro to + specify what character(s) you want to be interpreted as line terminators. + In an EBCDIC environment, you MUST change NEWLINE, because its default + value is 10, an ASCII LF. The usual EBCDIC newline character is 21 (0x15, + NL), though in some cases it may be 37 (0x25). + + When you compile any of the PCRE modules, you must specify -DHAVE_CONFIG_H + to your compiler so that config.h is included in the sources. + + An alternative approach is not to edit config.h, but to use -D on the + compiler command line to make any changes that you need to the + configuration options. In this case -DHAVE_CONFIG_H must not be set. + + NOTE: There have been occasions when the way in which certain parameters + in config.h are used has changed between releases. (In the configure/make + world, this is handled automatically.) When upgrading to a new release, + you are strongly advised to review config.h.generic before re-using what + you had previously. + + (2) Copy or rename the file pcre.h.generic as pcre.h. + + (3) EITHER: + Copy or rename file pcre_chartables.c.dist as pcre_chartables.c. + + OR: + Compile dftables.c as a stand-alone program (using -DHAVE_CONFIG_H if + you have set up config.h), and then run it with the single argument + "pcre_chartables.c". This generates a set of standard character tables + and writes them to that file. The tables are generated using the default + C locale for your system. If you want to use a locale that is specified + by LC_xxx environment variables, add the -L option to the dftables + command. You must use this method if you are building on a system that + uses EBCDIC code. + + The tables in pcre_chartables.c are defaults. The caller of PCRE can + specify alternative tables at run time. + + (4) Ensure that you have the following header files: + + pcre_internal.h + ucp.h + + (5) For an 8-bit library, compile the following source files, setting + -DHAVE_CONFIG_H as a compiler option if you have set up config.h with your + configuration, or else use other -D settings to change the configuration + as required. + + pcre_byte_order.c + pcre_chartables.c + pcre_compile.c + pcre_config.c + pcre_dfa_exec.c + pcre_exec.c + pcre_fullinfo.c + pcre_get.c + pcre_globals.c + pcre_jit_compile.c + pcre_maketables.c + pcre_newline.c + pcre_ord2utf8.c + pcre_refcount.c + pcre_string_utils.c + pcre_study.c + pcre_tables.c + pcre_ucd.c + pcre_valid_utf8.c + pcre_version.c + pcre_xclass.c + + Make sure that you include -I. in the compiler command (or equivalent for + an unusual compiler) so that all included PCRE header files are first + sought in the current directory. Otherwise you run the risk of picking up + a previously-installed file from somewhere else. + + Note that you must still compile pcre_jit_compile.c, even if you have not + defined SUPPORT_JIT in config.h, because when JIT support is not + configured, dummy functions are compiled. When JIT support IS configured, + pcre_jit_compile.c #includes sources from the sljit subdirectory, where + there should be 16 files, all of whose names begin with "sljit". + + (6) Now link all the compiled code into an object library in whichever form + your system keeps such libraries. This is the basic PCRE C 8-bit library. + If your system has static and shared libraries, you may have to do this + once for each type. + + (7) If you want to build a 16-bit library (as well as, or instead of the 8-bit + or 32-bit libraries) repeat steps 5-6 with the following files: + + pcre16_byte_order.c + pcre16_chartables.c + pcre16_compile.c + pcre16_config.c + pcre16_dfa_exec.c + pcre16_exec.c + pcre16_fullinfo.c + pcre16_get.c + pcre16_globals.c + pcre16_jit_compile.c + pcre16_maketables.c + pcre16_newline.c + pcre16_ord2utf16.c + pcre16_refcount.c + pcre16_string_utils.c + pcre16_study.c + pcre16_tables.c + pcre16_ucd.c + pcre16_utf16_utils.c + pcre16_valid_utf16.c + pcre16_version.c + pcre16_xclass.c + + (8) If you want to build a 32-bit library (as well as, or instead of the 8-bit + or 16-bit libraries) repeat steps 5-6 with the following files: + + pcre32_byte_order.c + pcre32_chartables.c + pcre32_compile.c + pcre32_config.c + pcre32_dfa_exec.c + pcre32_exec.c + pcre32_fullinfo.c + pcre32_get.c + pcre32_globals.c + pcre32_jit_compile.c + pcre32_maketables.c + pcre32_newline.c + pcre32_ord2utf32.c + pcre32_refcount.c + pcre32_string_utils.c + pcre32_study.c + pcre32_tables.c + pcre32_ucd.c + pcre32_utf32_utils.c + pcre32_valid_utf32.c + pcre32_version.c + pcre32_xclass.c + + (9) If you want to build the POSIX wrapper functions (which apply only to the + 8-bit library), ensure that you have the pcreposix.h file and then compile + pcreposix.c (remembering -DHAVE_CONFIG_H if necessary). Link the result + (on its own) as the pcreposix library. + +(10) The pcretest program can be linked with any combination of the 8-bit, + 16-bit and 32-bit libraries (depending on what you selected in config.h). + Compile pcretest.c and pcre_printint.c (again, don't forget + -DHAVE_CONFIG_H) and link them together with the appropriate library/ies. + If you compiled an 8-bit library, pcretest also needs the pcreposix + wrapper library unless you compiled it with -DNOPOSIX. + +(11) Run pcretest on the testinput files in the testdata directory, and check + that the output matches the corresponding testoutput files. There are + comments about what each test does in the section entitled "Testing PCRE" + in the README file. If you compiled more than one of the 8-bit, 16-bit and + 32-bit libraries, you need to run pcretest with the -16 option to do + 16-bit tests and with the -32 option to do 32-bit tests. + + Some tests are relevant only when certain build-time options are selected. + For example, test 4 is for UTF-8/UTF-16/UTF-32 support, and will not run + if you have built PCRE without it. See the comments at the start of each + testinput file. If you have a suitable Unix-like shell, the RunTest script + will run the appropriate tests for you. The command "RunTest list" will + output a list of all the tests. + + Note that the supplied files are in Unix format, with just LF characters + as line terminators. You may need to edit them to change this if your + system uses a different convention. If you are using Windows, you probably + should use the wintestinput3 file instead of testinput3 (and the + corresponding output file). This is a locale test; wintestinput3 sets the + locale to "french" rather than "fr_FR", and there some minor output + differences. + +(12) If you have built PCRE with SUPPORT_JIT, the JIT features will be tested + by the testdata files. However, you might also like to build and run + the freestanding JIT test program, pcre_jit_test.c. + +(13) If you want to use the pcregrep command, compile and link pcregrep.c; it + uses only the basic 8-bit PCRE library (it does not need the pcreposix + library). + + +THE C++ WRAPPER FUNCTIONS + +The PCRE distribution also contains some C++ wrapper functions and tests, +applicable to the 8-bit library, which were contributed by Google Inc. On a +system that can use "configure" and "make", the functions are automatically +built into a library called pcrecpp. It should be straightforward to compile +the .cc files manually on other systems. The files called xxx_unittest.cc are +test programs for each of the corresponding xxx.cc files. + + +BUILDING FOR VIRTUAL PASCAL + +A script for building PCRE using Borland's C++ compiler for use with VPASCAL +was contributed by Alexander Tokarev. Stefan Weber updated the script and added +additional files. The following files in the distribution are for building PCRE +for use with VP/Borland: makevp_c.txt, makevp_l.txt, makevp.bat, pcregexp.pas. + + +STACK SIZE IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS + +The default processor stack size of 1Mb in some Windows environments is too +small for matching patterns that need much recursion. In particular, test 2 may +fail because of this. Normally, running out of stack causes a crash, but there +have been cases where the test program has just died silently. See your linker +documentation for how to increase stack size if you experience problems. The +Linux default of 8Mb is a reasonable choice for the stack, though even that can +be too small for some pattern/subject combinations. + +PCRE has a compile configuration option to disable the use of stack for +recursion so that heap is used instead. However, pattern matching is +significantly slower when this is done. There is more about stack usage in the +"pcrestack" documentation. + + +LINKING PROGRAMS IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS + +If you want to statically link a program against a PCRE library in the form of +a non-dll .a file, you must define PCRE_STATIC before including pcre.h or +pcrecpp.h, otherwise the pcre_malloc() and pcre_free() exported functions will +be declared __declspec(dllimport), with unwanted results. + + +CALLING CONVENTIONS IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENTS + +It is possible to compile programs to use different calling conventions using +MSVC. Search the web for "calling conventions" for more information. To make it +easier to change the calling convention for the exported functions in the +PCRE library, the macro PCRE_CALL_CONVENTION is present in all the external +definitions. It can be set externally when compiling (e.g. in CFLAGS). If it is +not set, it defaults to empty; the default calling convention is then used +(which is what is wanted most of the time). + + +COMMENTS ABOUT WIN32 BUILDS (see also "BUILDING PCRE ON WINDOWS WITH CMAKE") + +There are two ways of building PCRE using the "configure, make, make install" +paradigm on Windows systems: using MinGW or using Cygwin. These are not at all +the same thing; they are completely different from each other. There is also +support for building using CMake, which some users find a more straightforward +way of building PCRE under Windows. + +The MinGW home page (http://www.mingw.org/) says this: + + MinGW: A collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows + specific header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that + allow one to produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any + 3rd-party C runtime DLLs. + +The Cygwin home page (http://www.cygwin.com/) says this: + + Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts: + + . A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing + substantial Linux API functionality + + . A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel. + + The Cygwin DLL currently works with all recent, commercially released x86 32 + bit and 64 bit versions of Windows, with the exception of Windows CE. + +On both MinGW and Cygwin, PCRE should build correctly using: + + ./configure && make && make install + +This should create two libraries called libpcre and libpcreposix, and, if you +have enabled building the C++ wrapper, a third one called libpcrecpp. These are +independent libraries: when you link with libpcreposix or libpcrecpp you must +also link with libpcre, which contains the basic functions. (Some earlier +releases of PCRE included the basic libpcre functions in libpcreposix. This no +longer happens.) + +A user submitted a special-purpose patch that makes it easy to create +"pcre.dll" under mingw32 using the "msys" environment. It provides "pcre.dll" +as a special target. If you use this target, no other files are built, and in +particular, the pcretest and pcregrep programs are not built. An example of how +this might be used is: + + ./configure --enable-utf --disable-cpp CFLAGS="-03 -s"; make pcre.dll + +Using Cygwin's compiler generates libraries and executables that depend on +cygwin1.dll. If a library that is generated this way is distributed, +cygwin1.dll has to be distributed as well. Since cygwin1.dll is under the GPL +licence, this forces not only PCRE to be under the GPL, but also the entire +application. A distributor who wants to keep their own code proprietary must +purchase an appropriate Cygwin licence. + +MinGW has no such restrictions. The MinGW compiler generates a library or +executable that can run standalone on Windows without any third party dll or +licensing issues. + +But there is more complication: + +If a Cygwin user uses the -mno-cygwin Cygwin gcc flag, what that really does is +to tell Cygwin's gcc to use the MinGW gcc. Cygwin's gcc is only acting as a +front end to MinGW's gcc (if you install Cygwin's gcc, you get both Cygwin's +gcc and MinGW's gcc). So, a user can: + +. Build native binaries by using MinGW or by getting Cygwin and using + -mno-cygwin. + +. Build binaries that depend on cygwin1.dll by using Cygwin with the normal + compiler flags. + +The test files that are supplied with PCRE are in UNIX format, with LF +characters as line terminators. Unless your PCRE library uses a default newline +option that includes LF as a valid newline, it may be necessary to change the +line terminators in the test files to get some of the tests to work. + + +BUILDING PCRE ON WINDOWS WITH CMAKE + +CMake is an alternative configuration facility that can be used instead of +"configure". CMake creates project files (make files, solution files, etc.) +tailored to numerous development environments, including Visual Studio, +Borland, Msys, MinGW, NMake, and Unix. If possible, use short paths with no +spaces in the names for your CMake installation and your PCRE source and build +directories. + +The following instructions were contributed by a PCRE user. If they are not +followed exactly, errors may occur. In the event that errors do occur, it is +recommended that you delete the CMake cache before attempting to repeat the +CMake build process. In the CMake GUI, the cache can be deleted by selecting +"File > Delete Cache". + +1. Install the latest CMake version available from http://www.cmake.org/, and + ensure that cmake\bin is on your path. + +2. Unzip (retaining folder structure) the PCRE source tree into a source + directory such as C:\pcre. You should ensure your local date and time + is not earlier than the file dates in your source dir if the release is + very new. + +3. Create a new, empty build directory, preferably a subdirectory of the + source dir. For example, C:\pcre\pcre-xx\build. + +4. Run cmake-gui from the Shell envirornment of your build tool, for example, + Msys for Msys/MinGW or Visual Studio Command Prompt for VC/VC++. Do not try + to start Cmake from the Windows Start menu, as this can lead to errors. + +5. Enter C:\pcre\pcre-xx and C:\pcre\pcre-xx\build for the source and build + directories, respectively. + +6. Hit the "Configure" button. + +7. Select the particular IDE / build tool that you are using (Visual + Studio, MSYS makefiles, MinGW makefiles, etc.) + +8. The GUI will then list several configuration options. This is where + you can enable UTF-8 support or other PCRE optional features. + +9. Hit "Configure" again. The adjacent "Generate" button should now be + active. + +10. Hit "Generate". + +11. The build directory should now contain a usable build system, be it a + solution file for Visual Studio, makefiles for MinGW, etc. Exit from + cmake-gui and use the generated build system with your compiler or IDE. + E.g., for MinGW you can run "make", or for Visual Studio, open the PCRE + solution, select the desired configuration (Debug, or Release, etc.) and + build the ALL_BUILD project. + +12. If during configuration with cmake-gui you've elected to build the test + programs, you can execute them by building the test project. E.g., for + MinGW: "make test"; for Visual Studio build the RUN_TESTS project. The + most recent build configuration is targeted by the tests. A summary of + test results is presented. Complete test output is subsequently + available for review in Testing\Temporary under your build dir. + + +USE OF RELATIVE PATHS WITH CMAKE ON WINDOWS + +A PCRE user comments as follows: I thought that others may want to know the +current state of CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS support on Windows. Here it is: + +-- AdditionalIncludeDirectories is only partially modified (only the + first path - see below) +-- Only some of the contained file paths are modified - shown below for + pcre.vcproj +-- It properly modifies + +I am sure CMake people can fix that if they want to. Until then one will +need to replace existing absolute paths in project files with relative +paths manually (e.g. from VS) - relative to project file location. I did +just that before being told to try CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS. Not a big +deal. + +AdditionalIncludeDirectories="E:\builds\pcre\build;E:\builds\pcre\pcre-7.5;" +AdditionalIncludeDirectories=".;E:\builds\pcre\pcre-7.5;" + +RelativePath="pcre.h" +RelativePath="pcre_chartables.c" +RelativePath="pcre_chartables.c.rule" + + +TESTING WITH RUNTEST.BAT + +If configured with CMake, building the test project ("make test" or building +ALL_TESTS in Visual Studio) creates (and runs) pcre_test.bat (and depending +on your configuration options, possibly other test programs) in the build +directory. Pcre_test.bat runs RunTest.Bat with correct source and exe paths. + +For manual testing with RunTest.bat, provided the build dir is a subdirectory +of the source directory: Open command shell window. Chdir to the location +of your pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe programs. Call RunTest.bat with +"..\RunTest.Bat" or "..\..\RunTest.bat" as appropriate. + +To run only a particular test with RunTest.Bat provide a test number argument. + +Otherwise: + +1. Copy RunTest.bat into the directory where pcretest.exe and pcregrep.exe + have been created. + +2. Edit RunTest.bat to indentify the full or relative location of + the pcre source (wherein which the testdata folder resides), e.g.: + + set srcdir=C:\pcre\pcre-8.20 + +3. In a Windows command environment, chdir to the location of your bat and + exe programs. + +4. Run RunTest.bat. Test outputs will automatically be compared to expected + results, and discrepancies will be identified in the console output. + +To independently test the just-in-time compiler, run pcre_jit_test.exe. +To test pcrecpp, run pcrecpp_unittest.exe, pcre_stringpiece_unittest.exe and +pcre_scanner_unittest.exe. + + +BUILDING UNDER WINDOWS CE WITH VISUAL STUDIO 200x + +Vincent Richomme sent a zip archive of files to help with this process. They +can be found in the file "pcre-vsbuild.zip" in the Contrib directory of the FTP +site. + + +BUILDING UNDER WINDOWS WITH BCC5.5 + +Michael Roy sent these comments about building PCRE under Windows with BCC5.5: + +Some of the core BCC libraries have a version of PCRE from 1998 built in, which +can lead to pcre_exec() giving an erroneous PCRE_ERROR_NULL from a version +mismatch. I'm including an easy workaround below, if you'd like to include it +in the non-unix instructions: + +When linking a project with BCC5.5, pcre.lib must be included before any of the +libraries cw32.lib, cw32i.lib, cw32mt.lib, and cw32mti.lib on the command line. + + +BUILDING USING BORLAND C++ BUILDER 2007 (CB2007) AND HIGHER + +A PCRE user sent these comments about this environment (see also the comment +from another user that follows them): + +The XE versions of C++ Builder come with a RegularExpressionsCore class which +contain a version of TPerlRegEx. However, direct use of the C PCRE library may +be desirable. + +The default makevp.bat, however, supplied with PCRE builds a version of PCRE +that is not usable with any version of C++ Builder because the compiler ships +with an embedded version of PCRE, version 2.01 from 1998! [See also the note +about BCC5.5 above.] If you want to use PCRE you'll need to rename the +functions (pcre_compile to pcre_compile_bcc, etc) or do as I have done and just +use the 16 bit versions. I'm using std::wstring everywhere anyway. Since the +embedded version of PCRE does not have the 16 bit function names, there is no +conflict. + +Building PCRE using a C++ Builder static library project file (recommended): + +1. Rename or remove pcre.h, pcreposi.h, and pcreposix.h from your C++ Builder +original include path. + +2. Download PCRE from pcre.org and extract to a directory. + +3. Rename pcre_chartables.c.dist to pcre_chartables.c, pcre.h.generic to +pcre.h, and config.h.generic to config.h. + +4. Edit pcre.h and pcre_config.c so that they include config.h. + +5. Edit config.h like so: + +Comment out the following lines: +#define PACKAGE "pcre" +#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "" +#define PACKAGE_NAME "PCRE" +#define PACKAGE_STRING "PCRE 8.32" +#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "pcre" +#define PACKAGE_URL "" +#define PACKAGE_VERSION "8.32" + +Add the following lines: +#ifndef SUPPORT_UTF +#define SUPPORT_UTF 100 // any value is fine +#endif + +#ifndef SUPPORT_UCP +#define SUPPORT_UCP 101 // any value is fine +#endif + +#ifndef SUPPORT_UCP +#define SUPPORT_PCRE16 102 // any value is fine +#endif + +#ifndef SUPPORT_UTF8 +#define SUPPORT_UTF8 103 // any value is fine +#endif + +6. Build a C++ Builder project using the IDE. Go to File / New / Other and +choose Static Library. You can name it pcre.cbproj or whatever. Now set your +paths by going to Project / Options. Set the Include path. Do this from the +"Base" option to apply to both Release and Debug builds. Now add the following +files to the project: + +pcre.h +pcre16_byte_order.c +pcre16_chartables.c +pcre16_compile.c +pcre16_config.c +pcre16_dfa_exec.c +pcre16_exec.c +pcre16_fullinfo.c +pcre16_get.c +pcre16_globals.c +pcre16_maketables.c +pcre16_newline.c +pcre16_ord2utf16.c +pcre16_printint.c +pcre16_refcount.c +pcre16_string_utils.c +pcre16_study.c +pcre16_tables.c +pcre16_ucd.c +pcre16_utf16_utils.c +pcre16_valid_utf16.c +pcre16_version.c +pcre16_xclass.c + +//Optional +pcre_version.c + +7. After compiling the .lib file, copy the .lib and header files to a project +you want to use PCRE with. Enjoy. + +Optional ... Building PCRE using the makevp.bat file: + +1. Edit makevp_c.txt and makevp_l.txt and change all the names to the 16 bit +versions. + +2. Edit makevp.bat and set the path to C++ Builder. Run makevp.bat. + +Another PCRE user added this comment: + +Another approach I successfully used for some years with BCB 5 and 6 was to +make sure that include and library paths of PCRE are configured before the +default paths of the IDE in the dialogs where one can manage those paths. +Afterwards one can open the project files using a text editor and manually add +the self created library for pcre itself, pcrecpp doesn't ship with the IDE, in +the library nodes where the IDE manages its own libraries to link against in +front of the IDE-own libraries. This way one can use the default PCRE function +names without getting access violations on runtime. + + + + +BUILDING PCRE ON OPENVMS + +Stephen Hoffman sent the following, in December 2012: + +"Here is a very short write-up on the +OpenVMS port and here + + + +is a zip with the OpenVMS files, and with one modified testing-related PCRE +file." This is a port of PCRE 8.32. + +Earlier, Dan Mooney sent the following comments about building PCRE on OpenVMS. +They relate to an older version of PCRE that used fewer source files, so the +exact commands will need changing. See the current list of source files above. + +"It was quite easy to compile and link the library. I don't have a formal +make file but the attached file [reproduced below] contains the OpenVMS DCL +commands I used to build the library. I had to add #define +POSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD 10 to pcre.h since it was not defined anywhere. + +The library was built on: +O/S: HP OpenVMS v7.3-1 +Compiler: Compaq C v6.5-001-48BCD +Linker: vA13-01 + +The test results did not match 100% due to the issues you mention in your +documentation regarding isprint(), iscntrl(), isgraph() and ispunct().

The port was for version 7.9 in August 2009. + +1. Building PCRE + +I built pcre on OpenVOS Release 17.0.1at using GNU Tools 3.4a without any +problems. I used the following packages to build PCRE: + + ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/ga/posix.save.evf.gz + +Please read and follow the instructions that come with these packages. To start +the build of pcre, from the root of the package type: + + ./build.sh + +2. Installing PCRE + +Once you have successfully built PCRE, login to the SysAdmin group, switch to +the root user, and type + + [ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr --if needed ] + [ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr>local --if needed ] + !gmake install + +This installs PCRE and its man pages into /usr/local. You can add +(master_disk)>usr>local>bin to your command search paths, or if you are in +BASH, add /usr/local/bin to the PATH environment variable. + +4. Restrictions + +This port requires readline library optionally. However during the build I +faced some yet unexplored errors while linking with readline. As it was an +optional component I chose to disable it. + +5. Known Problems + +I ran the test suite, but you will have to be your own judge of whether this +command, and this port, suits your purposes. If you find any problems that +appear to be related to the port itself, please let me know. Please see the +build.log file in the root of the package also. + + +BUILDING PCRE ON NATIVE Z/OS AND Z/VM + +z/OS and z/VM are operating systems for mainframe computers, produced by IBM. +The character code used is EBCDIC, not ASCII or Unicode. In z/OS, UNIX APIs and +applications can be supported through UNIX System Services, and in such an +environment PCRE can be built in the same way as in other systems. However, in +native z/OS (without UNIX System Services) and in z/VM, special ports are +required.
