658    Locking out certain modifiers
659    </b><br>
660    <P>
661    PCRE can be compiled with or without support for certain features such as
662    UTF-8/16/32 or Unicode properties. Accordingly, the standard tests are split up
663    into a number of different files that are selected for running depending on
664    which features are available. When updating the tests, it is all too easy to
665    put a new test into the wrong file by mistake; for example, to put a test that
666    requires UTF support into a file that is used when it is not available. To help
667    detect such mistakes as early as possible, there is a facility for locking out
668    specific modifiers. If an input line for <b>pcretest</b> starts with the string
669    "&#60; forbid " the following sequence of characters is taken as a list of
670    forbidden modifiers. For example, in the test files that must not use UTF or
671    Unicode property support, this line appears:
672    <pre>
673      &#60; forbid 8W
674    </pre>
675    This locks out the /8 and /W modifiers. An immediate error is given if they are
676    subsequently encountered. If the character string contains &#60; but not &#62;, all the
677    multi-character modifiers that begin with &#60; are locked out. Otherwise, such
678    modifiers must be explicitly listed, for example:
679    <pre>
680      &#60; forbid &#60;JS&#62;&#60;cr&#62;
681    </pre>
682    There must be a single space between &#60; and "forbid" for this feature to be
683    recognised. If there is not, the line is interpreted either as a request to
684    re-load a pre-compiled pattern (see "SAVING AND RELOADING COMPILED PATTERNS"
685    below) or, if there is a another &#60; character, as a pattern that uses &#60; as its
686    delimiter.
