This turns out to be trickier than you * * might think because of the possibility of matching an empty string. * * What happens is as follows: * * * * If the previous match was NOT for an empty string, we can just start * * the next match at the end of the previous one. * * * * If the previous match WAS for an empty string, we can't do that, as it * * would lead to an infinite loop. Instead, a call of pcre2_match() is * * made with the PCRE2_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART and PCRE2_ANCHORED flags set. The * * first of these tells PCRE2 that an empty string at the start of the * * subject is not a valid match; other possibilities must be tried. The * * second flag restricts PCRE2 to one match attempt at the initial string * * position. If this match succeeds, an alternative to the empty string * * match has been found, and we can print it and proceed round the loop, * * advancing by the length of whatever was found. If this match does not * * succeed, we still stay in the loop, advancing by just one character. * * In UTF-8 mode, which can be set by (*UTF) in the pattern, this may be * * more than one byte. * * * * However, there is a complication concerned with newlines. When the * * newline convention is such that CRLF is a valid newline, we must * * advance by two characters rather than one. The newline convention can * * be set in the regex by (*CR), etc.; if not, we must find the default. * *************************************************************************/ { pcre2_match_data_free(match_data); /* Release the memory that was used */ pcre2_code_free(re); /* for the match data and the pattern. */ return 0; /* Exit the program. */ } /* Before running the loop, check for UTF-8 and whether CRLF is a valid newline (void)pcre2_pattern_info(re, PCRE2_INFO_ALLOPTIONS, &option_bits); /* Now find the newline convention and see whether CRLF is a valid newline (void)pcre2_pattern_info(re, PCRE2_INFO_NEWLINE, &newline); newline == PCRE2_NEWLINE_CRLF || newline == PCRE2_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF; /* Loop for second and subsequent matches */ { uint32_t options = 0; /* Normally no options */ PCRE2_SIZE start_offset = ovector[1]; /* Start at end of previous match */ /* If the previous match was for an empty string, we are finished if we are at the end of the subject.
