Compile PCRE 8.13 on Windows platform cl.exe

Recently, a project developed on the Windows platform requires regular expressions. Of course, you can implement a Regexp by yourself, but it is too painful and technically unavailable. Therefore, I have given priority to the open source library. PCRE is a well-known library. Compiling in Linux is a common routine, but it is a little troublesome in win.

Refer to the topic "VC compilation PCRE memo" by tombkeeper. The procedure is as follows:

1. Download the latest PCRE: ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.13.zip (ZIP/tar.gz/tar.bz2 three formats choose one, Windows generally use zip), and unzip.
2. Rename config. H. Generic to config. H. This is the generic configuration file. You need to modify the pre-compilation according to the specific environment.
   Change have_bcopy 1 to 0, change have_inttypes_h 1 to 0, and change have_stdint_h 1 to 0.
   If this parameter is not modified, an error is reported in the following steps for compiling dftables:

    

   Pcre_internal.h (198): Fatal error c1083: cannot open include file: 'inttypes. H': no such file or directory

3. Rename PCRE. H. Generic to PCRE. H, and pcre_chartables.c.dist to pcre_chartables.c
4. cl -MD -DHAVE_CONFIG_H dftables.cGenerate dftables.exe
5. Dftables.exe pcre_chartables.c (modified some comments and I don't know why)
6.

   Pcre_refcount.obj pcre_study.obj pcre_tables.obj pcre_try_flipped.obj pcre_ucd.obj generated pcre_version.obj pcre_xclass.obj is the PCRE. Lib file we need.
   Note: If you want to compile the PCRE of the debug version. lib. replace-MDD with-MD. Otherwise, "msvcrtd. lib (cinitexe. OBJ): Warning lnk4098: Default library "msvcrt. lib.
7. Copy PCRE. h and PCRE. lib to the directory of our own project, and add the following code at the top of the source code:
   #include "pcre.h"
#pragma comment(lib,"pcre.lib")
8. Use the following code to test:

    

   version= pcre_version();wchar_t *shit = (wchar_t *)malloc(strlen(version));MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP,0,version,-1,shit,wcslen(shit));MessageBox(hWnd,shit,shit,MB_OK);
