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