PCRE2 is the future of PCRE. The only advantage of GRegex is that it comes bundled with GLib, which is not an advantage at all. PCRE2 is widely available, the GRegex abstractions layer are not a good fit and abstract things that don't need abstracting or that we could handle better ourselves, there are open bugs (#12997) and maintenance is spotty at best. GRegex comes with many of the problems of bundled code, aggravated by the fact that it completely falls outside of our control. |
