This function makes a copy of the memory used for a compiled pattern, excluding
any memory used by the JIT compiler. Without a subsequent call to
\fBpcre2_jit_compile()\fP, the copy can be used only for non-JIT matching. The
yield of the function is NULL if \fIcode\fP is NULL or if sufficient memory
cannot be obtained.
