# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This function discards a set of character tables that were created by a call to **pcre2\_maketables()**.

The *gcontext* parameter should match what was used in that call to account for any custom allocators that might be in use; if it is NULL the system **free()** is used.

There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the **pcre2api** page.
