🌸 NAME 🌸

PCRE2 — Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API) 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <pcre2.h>

void pcre2_match_context_free(pcre2_match_context *mcontext);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function frees the memory occupied by a match context, bestie. It uses the memory freeing function from the general context with which it was created, or free() if that was not set. No cap 💅

If the argument is NULL, the function returns immediately without doing anything. Like, zero side quests, zero drama 🫶

There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the pcre2api page, and a description of the POSIX API in the pcre2posix page. Go read those for the full lore 👑
