public Regex.for_search_full (string pattern, ssize_t pattern_length, uint32 flags, uint32 extra_flags, out size_t error_offset) throws Error

Compiles pattern into a regex for use as a search regex with search_set_regex.

See man:pcre2pattern(3) for information about the supported regex language, and man:pcre2api(3) for information about the supported flags and extra_flags.

The regex will be compiled using <literal>PCRE2_UTF</literal> and possibly other flags, in addition to the flags supplied in flags.

If regex compilation fails, throws will be set and error_offset point to error as an offset into pattern.

Parameters:

pattern	a regex pattern string
pattern_length	the length of `pattern` in bytes, or -1 if the string is NUL-terminated and the length is unknown
flags	PCRE2 compile flags
error_offset	return location to store the error offset

Returns:

a newly created Regex, or null
