The original PCRE library is deprecated. This is a port to the successor PCRE2.

Have you tested that this doesn't introduce regressions for the variety of usage of this tool, like those in other repositories in this org?

No. Can you point out which ones make use of it? I do not have any gsl domain knowledge.

But note that this is incomplete because I do not have the means to adjust and test the Windows build files.

It is used by https://github.com/zeromq/zproject which in turn is used by a large number of other repos, all those that include a project.xml in the root directory. And yes this needs to be verified on Windows and OSX too at a minimum.

Are there any references to differences between the two versions? I couldn't find any when I quickly scanned the PCRE2 github repo.

There is no porting guide, but people linked some documentation on the bug which asks for one.
