From a discussion in Debian IRC:
25 20:53 <smcv> Myon: in the absence of a migration guide, the next best thing might be
looking at the changes that were made to GLib's GRegex
25 20:54 <smcv> which is a relatively complete wrapper around pcre
25 20:54 <Myon> smcv: ah, good pointer
25 20:55 <smcv> it also has a fairly comprehensive test-suite (comprehensive enough that
some of the changes made for pcre2 were "stop being quite so specific
about what we expect")
25 20:56 <smcv> which seems like it might be helpful to you
Is there any chance this will be implemented? I would love to see a version based on pcre2. pgpcre is much faster on complex patterns than the buildin regex engine (up to 12 times faster).
