SYNOPSIS
</b><br>
<P>
<b>#include <pcre2.h></b>
</P>
<P>
<b>const unsigned char *pcre2_maketables(pcre22_general_context *<i>gcontext</i>);</b>
</P>
<br><b>
DESCRIPTION
</b><br>
<P>
This function builds a set of character tables for character values less than
256. These can be passed to <b>pcre2_compile()</b> in a compile context in order
to override the internal, built-in tables (which were either defaulted or made
by <b>pcre2_maketables()</b> when PCRE2 was compiled). See the
<a href="pcre2_set_character_tables.html"><b>pcre2_set_character_tables()</b></a>
page. You might want to do this if you are using a non-standard locale.
</P>
<P>
If the argument is NULL, <b>malloc()</b> is used to get memory for the tables.
Otherwise it must point to a general context, which can supply pointers to a
custom memory manager. The function yields a pointer to the tables.
