| 16 | This function makes a copy of the memory used for a compiled pattern, excluding |
| 17 | any memory used by the JIT compiler. Without a subsequent call to |
| 18 | \fBpcre2_jit_compile()\fP, the copy can be used only for non-JIT matching. The |
| Elliott Hughes | 9bc971b | 2018-07-27 13:23:14 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | pointer to the character tables is copied, not the tables themselves (see |
| 20 | \fBpcre2_code_copy_with_tables()\fP). The yield of the function is NULL if |
| 21 | \fIcode\fP is NULL or if sufficient memory cannot be obtained. |
