10.2.6.2.1 Parameters: 
      1. ex : a regex

------------------------------------- 
 
A search of the include file regex.e does not find get_ovector_size. 
 
Huh?

I see this on line 236 of std/regex.e

public function get_ovector_size(regex ex, integer maxsize=0) 
 
        integer m = machine_func(M_PCRE_GET_OVECTOR_SIZE, {ex}) 
        if (m > maxsize) then 
                return maxsize 
        end if 
        return m+1 
end function 

And on line 36

enum M_PCRE_COMPILE=68, M_PCRE_FREE, M_PCRE_EXEC, M_PCRE_REPLACE, M_PCRE_ERROR_MESSAGE=95, M_PCRE_GET_OVECTOR_SIZE=97

I am quite confused as to why you would be missing get_ovector_size() in std/regex.e ... Does it work if you manually add this code back in?
