Description

Adds 32-bit PCRE support for applications that use older Perl-style regular expression APIs. It helps legacy compatibility software keep text matching behavior expected by older code.

Regex processing over untrusted input can cause high CPU use if patterns are unsafe. Prefer PCRE2 for new software when possible.
