This function sets, in a compile context, the maximum text length
(in code units) of the pattern that can be compiled. The result
is always zero. If a longer pattern is passed to pcre2_compile()
there is an immediate error return. The default is effectively
unlimited, being the largest value a PCRE2_SIZE variable can
hold.
There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
pcre2api page and a description of the POSIX API in the
pcre2posix page.
