These can be passed to <b>pcre2_compile()</b> in a compile context in order 30to override the internal, built-in tables (which were either defaulted or made 31by <b>pcre2_maketables()</b> when PCRE2 was compiled). See the 32<a href="pcre2_set_character_tables.html"><b>pcre2_set_character_tables()</b></a> 33page. You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale. 34</P> 35<P> 36If the argument is NULL, <b>malloc()</b> is used to get memory for the tables. 37Otherwise it must point to a general context, which can supply pointers to a 38custom memory manager. The function yields a pointer to the tables. 39</P> 40<P> 41There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the 42<a href="pcre2api.html"><b>pcre2api</b></a> 43page and a description of the POSIX API in the 44<a href="pcre2posix.html"><b>pcre2posix</b></a> 45page. 46<p> 47Return to the <a href="index.html">PCRE2 index page</a>. 48</p> 49
