No, that was precisely my point - you included pcre2.h in many (more
than one) files, but defined PCRE2_CODE_UNIT_WIDTH only here.
Otherwise I wouldn't have asked :)

Right, thanks.

To make the server use pcre2 you had to change something in the
sources, like, API function names, types names, etc.

But for mroonga you've just changed the include path. I was surprised
that it was enough. Perhaps mroonga doesn't use pcre at all?
Otherwise how could've it compiled without you changing function names
and types?
