+ *      necessarily at a fixed offset from the beginning of the
+ *      string);
+ *   b) the longest floating substring (i.e. one that's not at a constant
+ *      offset from the beginning of the pattern);
+ *   c) Whether the pattern is anchored to the string; either
+ *      an absolute anchor: /^../, or anchored to \n: /^.../m,
+ *      or anchored to pos(): /\G/;
+ *   d) A start class: a real or synthetic character class which
+ *      represents which characters are legal at the start of the pattern;
+ *
+ * to either quickly reject the match, or to find the earliest position
+ * within the string at which the pattern might match, thus avoiding
+ * running the full NFA engine at those earlier locations, only to
+ * eventually fail and retry further along.
+ *
+ * Returns NULL if the pattern can't match, or returns the address within
+ * the string which is the earliest place the match could occur.
+ *
+ * The longest of the anchored and floating substrings is called 'check'
+ * and is checked first. The other is called 'other' and is checked
+ * second. The 'other' substring may not be present.  For example,
+ *
+ *    /(abc|xyz)ABC\d{0,3}DEFG/
+ *
+ * will have
+ *
+ *   check substr (float)    = "DEFG", offset 6..9 chars
+ *   other substr (anchored) = "ABC",  offset 3..3 chars
+ *   stclass = [ax]
+ *
+ * Be aware that during the course of this function, sometimes 'anchored'
+ * refers to a substring being anchored relative to the start of the
+ * pattern, and sometimes to the pattern itself being anchored relative to
+ * the string. For example:
+ *
+ *   /\dabc/:   "abc" is anchored to the pattern;
+ *   /^\dabc/:  "abc" is anchored to the pattern and the string;
+ *   /\d+abc/:  "abc" is anchored to neither the pattern nor the string;
+ *   /^\d+abc/: "abc" is anchored to neither the pattern nor the string,

+
+regmatch() - main matching routine
+
+This is basically one big switch statement in a loop. We execute an op,
+set 'next' to point the next op, and continue. If we come to a point which
+we may need to backtrack to on failure such as (A|B|C), we push a
+backtrack state onto the backtrack stack. On failure, we pop the top
+state, and re-enter the loop at the state indicated. If there are no more
+states to pop, we return failure.
+
+Sometimes we also need to backtrack on success; for example /A+/, where
+after successfully matching one A, we need to go back and try to
+match another one; similarly for lookahead assertions: if the assertion
+completes successfully, we backtrack to the state just before the assertion
+and then carry on.  In these cases, the pushed state is marked as
+'backtrack on success too'. This marking is in fact done by a chain of
+pointers, each pointing to the previous 'yes' state. On success, we pop to
+the nearest yes state, discarding any intermediate failure-only states.
+Sometimes a yes state is pushed just to force some cleanup code to be
+called at the end of a successful match or submatch; e.g. (??{$re}) uses
+it to free the inner regex.
+
+Note that failure backtracking rewinds the cursor position, while
+success backtracking leaves it alone.
+
+A pattern is complete when the END op is executed, while a subpattern
+such as (?=foo) is complete when the SUCCESS op is executed. Both of these
+ops trigger the "pop to last yes state if any, otherwise return true"
+behaviour.
+
+A common convention in this function is to use A and B to refer to the two
+subpatterns (or to the first nodes thereof) in patterns like /A*B/: so A is
+the subpattern to be matched possibly multiple times, while B is the entire
+rest of the pattern. Variable and state names reflect this convention.
+
+The states in the main switch are the union of ops and failure/success of
+substates associated with with that op.  For example, IFMATCH is the op
+that does lookahead assertions /(?=A)B/ and so the IFMATCH state means
+'execute IFMATCH'; while IFMATCH_A is a state saying that we have just
+successfully matched A and IFMATCH_A_fail is a state saying that we have
+just failed to match A. Resume states always come in pairs. The backtrack
+state we push is marked as 'IFMATCH_A', but when that is popped, we resume
+at IFMATCH_A or IFMATCH_A_fail, depending on whether we are backtracking
+on success or failure.
+
+The struct that holds a backtracking state is actually a big union, with
+one variant for each major type of op. The variable st points to the
+top-most backtrack struct. To make the code clearer, within each
+block of code we #define ST to alias the relevant union.
+
+Here's a concrete example of a (vastly oversimplified) IFMATCH
+implementation:
+
+    switch (state) {
+    ....
+
+#define ST st->u.ifmatch
+
+    case IFMATCH: // we are executing the IFMATCH op, (?=A)B
+       ST.foo = ...; // some state we wish to save
+       ...
+       // push a yes backtrack state with a resume value of
+       // IFMATCH_A/IFMATCH_A_fail, then continue execution at the
+       // first node of A:
+       PUSH_YES_STATE_GOTO(IFMATCH_A, A, newinput);
+       // NOTREACHED
+
+    case IFMATCH_A: // we have successfully executed A; now continue with B
+       next = B;
+       bar = ST.foo; // do something with the preserved value
+       break;
+
+    case IFMATCH_A_fail: // A failed, so the assertion failed
+       ...;   // do some housekeeping, then ...
+       sayNO; // propagate the failure
+
+#undef ST
+
+    ...
+    }
+
+For any old-timers reading this who are familiar with the old recursive
+approach, the code above is equivalent to:
+
+    case IFMATCH: // we are executing the IFMATCH op, (?=A)B
+    {
+       int foo = ...
+       ...
+       if (regmatch(A)) {
+           next = B;
+           bar = foo;
+           break;
+       }
+       ...;   // do some housekeeping, then ...
+       sayNO; // propagate the failure
+    }
+
+The topmost backtrack state, pointed to by st, is usually free. If you
+want to claim it, populate any ST.foo fields in it with values you wish to
+save, then do one of
+
+       PUSH_STATE_GOTO(resume_state, node, newinput);
+       PUSH_YES_STATE_GOTO(resume_state, node, newinput);
+
+which sets that backtrack state's resume value to 'resume_state', pushes a
+new free entry to the top of the backtrack stack, then goes to 'node'.
+On backtracking, the free slot is popped, and the saved state becomes the
+new free state. An ST.foo field in this new top state can be temporarily
+accessed to retrieve values, but once the main loop is re-entered, it
+becomes available for reuse.
+
+Note that the depth of the backtrack stack constantly increases during the
+left-to-right execution of the pattern, rather than going up and down with
+the pattern nesting. For example the stack is at its maximum at Z at the
+end of the pattern, rather than at X in the following:
+
+    /(((X)+)+)+....(Y)+....Z/
+
+The only exceptions to this are lookahead/behind assertions and the cut,
+(?>A), which pop all the backtrack states associated with A before
+continuing.
+Backtrack state structs are allocated in slabs of about 4K in size.
+PL_regmatch_state and st always point to the currently active state,
+and PL_regmatch_slab points to the slab currently containing
+PL_regmatch_state.  The first time regmatch() is called, the first slab is
+allocated, and is never freed until interpreter destruction. When the slab
+is full, a new one is allocated and chained to the end. At exit from
+regmatch(), slabs allocated since entry are freed.

+            * In the case above it would contain the mappings 1->2, 2->0,
+            * 3->0, 4->5, 5->1.  We can use this table to generate, from
+            * the longest word (4 above), a list of all words, by
+            * following the list of prev pointers; this gives us the
+            * unordered list 4,5,1,2. Then given the current word we have
+            * just tried, we can go through the list and find the
+            * next-biggest word to try (so if we just failed on word 2,
+            * the next in the list is 4).
+            *
+            * Since at runtime we don't record the matching position in
+            * the string for each word, we have to work that out for
+            * each word we're about to process. The wordinfo table holds
+            * the character length of each word; given that we recorded
+            * at the start: the position of the shortest word and its
+            * length in chars, we just need to move the pointer the
+            * difference between the two char lengths. Depending on
+            * Unicode status and folding, that's cheap or expensive.
+            *
+            * This algorithm is optimised for the case where are only a
+            * small number of accept states, i.e. 0,1, or maybe 2.
+            * With lots of accepts states, and having to try all of them,
+            * it becomes quadratic on number of accept states to find all
+            * the next words.

+/*******************************************************************
+
+The CURLYX/WHILEM pair of ops handle the most generic case of the /A*B/
+pattern, where A and B are subpatterns. (For simple A, CURLYM or
+STAR/PLUS/CURLY/CURLYN are used instead.)
+
+A*B is compiled as <CURLYX><A><WHILEM><B>
+
+On entry to the subpattern, CURLYX is called. This pushes a CURLYX
+state, which contains the current count, initialised to -1. It also sets
+cur_curlyx to point to this state, with any previous value saved in the
+state block.
+
+CURLYX then jumps straight to the WHILEM op, rather than executing A,
+since the pattern may possibly match zero times (i.e. it's a while {} loop
+rather than a do {} while loop).
+
+Each entry to WHILEM represents a successful match of A. The count in the
+CURLYX block is incremented, another WHILEM state is pushed, and execution
+passes to A or B depending on greediness and the current count.
+
+For example, if matching against the string a1a2a3b (where the aN are
+substrings that match /A/), then the match progresses as follows: (the
+pushed states are interspersed with the bits of strings matched so far):
+
+    <CURLYX cnt=-1>
+    <CURLYX cnt=0><WHILEM>
+    <CURLYX cnt=1><WHILEM> a1 <WHILEM>
+    <CURLYX cnt=2><WHILEM> a1 <WHILEM> a2 <WHILEM>
+    <CURLYX cnt=3><WHILEM> a1 <WHILEM> a2 <WHILEM> a3 <WHILEM>
+    <CURLYX cnt=3><WHILEM> a1 <WHILEM> a2 <WHILEM> a3 <WHILEM> b
+
+(Contrast this with something like CURLYM, which maintains only a single
+backtrack state:
+
+    <CURLYM cnt=0> a1
+    a1 <CURLYM cnt=1> a2
+    a1 a2 <CURLYM cnt=2> a3
+    a1 a2 a3 <CURLYM cnt=3> b
+)
+
+Each WHILEM state block marks a point to backtrack to upon partial failure
+of A or B, and also contains some minor state data related to that
+iteration.  The CURLYX block, pointed to by cur_curlyx, contains the
+overall state, such as the count, and pointers to the A and B ops.
+
+This is complicated slightly by nested CURLYX/WHILEM's. Since cur_curlyx
+must always point to the *current* CURLYX block, the rules are:
+
+When executing CURLYX, save the old cur_curlyx in the CURLYX state block,
+and set cur_curlyx to point the new block.
+
+When popping the CURLYX block after a successful or unsuccessful match,
+restore the previous cur_curlyx.
+
+When WHILEM is about to execute B, save the current cur_curlyx, and set it
+to the outer one saved in the CURLYX block.
+
+When popping the WHILEM block after a successful or unsuccessful B match,
+restore the previous cur_curlyx.
+
+Here's an example for the pattern (AI* BI)*BO
+I and O refer to inner and outer, C and W refer to CURLYX and WHILEM:
+
+cur_
+curlyx backtrack stack
+------ ---------------
+NULL   
+CO     <CO prev=NULL> <WO>
+CI     <CO prev=NULL> <WO> <CI prev=CO> <WI> ai 
+CO     <CO prev=NULL> <WO> <CI prev=CO> <WI> ai <WI prev=CI> bi 
+NULL   <CO prev=NULL> <WO> <CI prev=CO> <WI> ai <WI prev=CI> bi <WO prev=CO> bo
+
+At this point the pattern succeeds, and we work back down the stack to
+clean up, restoring as we go:
+
+CO     <CO prev=NULL> <WO> <CI prev=CO> <WI> ai <WI prev=CI> bi 
+CI     <CO prev=NULL> <WO> <CI prev=CO> <WI> ai
