+ *      constant offset from the beginning of the pattern; but not
+ *      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,

+ *      nodes when the pattern isn't in UTF-8.  (Note, BTW, that there cannot
+ *      be an EXACTF node with a UTF-8 pattern.)  They also occur for various
+ *      folds in EXACTFL nodes, regardless of the UTF-ness of the pattern.)
+ *      The reason this is a problem is that the optimizer part of regexec.c
+ *      (probably unwittingly, in Perl_regexec_flags()) makes an assumption
+ *      that a character in the pattern corresponds to at most a single
+ *      character in the target string.  (And I do mean character, and not byte
+ *      here, unlike other parts of the documentation that have never been
+ *      updated to account for multibyte Unicode.)  sharp s in EXACTF and
+ *      EXACTFL nodes can match the two character string 'ss'; in EXACTFA nodes
+ *      it can match "\x{17F}\x{17F}".  These, along with other ones in EXACTFL
+ *      nodes, violate the assumption, and they are the only instances where it
+ *      is violated.  I'm reluctant to try to change the assumption, as the
+ *      code involved is impenetrable to me (khw), so instead the code here
+ *      punts.  This routine examines EXACTFL nodes, and (when the pattern
+ *      isn't UTF-8) EXACTF and EXACTFA for such unfolded folds, and returns a
+ *      boolean indicating whether or not the node contains such a fold.  When
+ *      it is true, the caller sets a flag that later causes the optimizer in
+ *      this file to not set values for the floating and fixed string lengths,
+ *      and thus avoids the optimizer code in regexec.c that makes the invalid
  *      assumption.  Thus, there is no optimization based on string lengths for
  *      assumption.  Thus, there is no optimization based on string lengths for
- *      non-UTF8-pattern EXACTF and EXACTFA nodes that contain the sharp s.
- *      (The reason the assumption is wrong only in these two cases is that all
- *      other non-UTF-8 folds are 1-1; and, for UTF-8 patterns, we pre-fold all
- *      other folds to their expanded versions.  We can't prefold sharp s to

- *      actually matches 'ss' or not.  It will match iff the target string is
- *      in UTF-8, unlike the EXACTFU nodes, where it always matches; and
- *      EXACTFA and EXACTFL where it never does.  In an EXACTFA node in a UTF-8
- *      pattern, sharp s is folded to "\x{17F}\x{17F}, avoiding the problem;
- *      but in a non-UTF8 pattern, folding it to that above-Latin1 string would

+ *      constant offset from the beginning of the pattern; but not
+ *      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,

+ *      constant offset from the beginning of the pattern; but not
+ *      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,
+ *                    but the pattern is anchored to the string.

+ *      constant offset from the beginning of the pattern; but not
+ *      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,
+ *                    but the pattern is anchored to the string.

+ *      constant offset from the beginning of the pattern; but not
+ *      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,
+ *                    but the pattern is anchored to the string.

+ *      constant offset from the beginning of the pattern; but not
+ *      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,

+/* About scan_data_t.
+
+  During optimisation we recurse through the regexp program performing
+  various inplace (keyhole style) optimisations. In addition study_chunk
+  and scan_commit populate this data structure with information about
+  what strings MUST appear in the pattern. We look for the longest
+  string that must appear at a fixed location, and we look for the
+  longest string that may appear at a floating location. So for instance
+  in the pattern:
+
+    /FOO[xX]A.*B[xX]BAR/
+
+  Both 'FOO' and 'A' are fixed strings. Both 'B' and 'BAR' are floating
+  strings (because they follow a .* construct). study_chunk will identify
+  both FOO and BAR as being the longest fixed and floating strings respectively.
+
+  The strings can be composites, for instance
+
+     /(f)(o)(o)/
+
+  will result in a composite fixed substring 'foo'.
+
+  For each string some basic information is maintained:
+
+  - offset or min_offset
+    This is the position the string must appear at, or not before.
+    It also implicitly (when combined with minlenp) tells us how many
+    characters must match before the string we are searching for.
+    Likewise when combined with minlenp and the length of the string it
+    tells us how many characters must appear after the string we have
+    found.
+
+  - max_offset
+    Only used for floating strings. This is the rightmost point that
+    the string can appear at. If set to SSize_t_MAX it indicates that the
+    string can occur infinitely far to the right.
+
+  - minlenp
+    A pointer to the minimum number of characters of the pattern that the
+    string was found inside. This is important as in the case of positive
+    lookahead or positive lookbehind we can have multiple patterns
+    involved. Consider
+
+    /(?=FOO).*F/
+
+    The minimum length of the pattern overall is 3, the minimum length
+    of the lookahead part is 3, but the minimum length of the part that
+    will actually match is 1. So 'FOO's minimum length is 3, but the
+    minimum length for the F is 1. This is important as the minimum length
+    is used to determine offsets in front of and behind the string being
+    looked for.  Since strings can be composites this is the length of the
+    pattern at the time it was committed with a scan_commit. Note that
+    the length is calculated by study_chunk, so that the minimum lengths
+    are not known until the full pattern has been compiled, thus the
+    pointer to the value.
+
+  - lookbehind
+
+    In the case of lookbehind the string being searched for can be
+    offset past the start point of the final matching string.
+    If this value was just blithely removed from the min_offset it would
+    invalidate some of the calculations for how many chars must match
+    before or after (as they are derived from min_offset and minlen and
+    the length of the string being searched for).
+    When the final pattern is compiled and the data is moved from the
+    scan_data_t structure into the regexp structure the information
+    about lookbehind is factored in, with the information that would
+    have been lost precalculated in the end_shift field for the
+    associated string.
+
+  The fields pos_min and pos_delta are used to store the minimum offset
+  and the delta to the maximum offset at the current point in the pattern.

+This shows that when matching against the string 'hers' we will begin at state 1
+read 'h' and move to state 2, read 'e' and move to state 3 which is accepting,
+then read 'r' and go to state 8 followed by 's' which takes us to state 9 which
+is also accepting. Thus we know that we can match both 'he' and 'hers' with a
+single traverse. We store a mapping from accepting to state to which word was
+matched, and then when we have multiple possibilities we try to complete the
+rest of the regex in the order in which they occured in the alternation.
+
+The only prior NFA like behaviour that would be changed by the TRIE support is
+the silent ignoring of duplicate alternations which are of the form:
+
+ / (DUPE|DUPE) X? (?{ ... }) Y /x
+
+Thus EVAL blocks following a trie may be called a different number of times with
+and without the optimisation. With the optimisations dupes will be silently
+ignored. This inconsistent behaviour of EVAL type nodes is well established as
+the following demonstrates:
+
+ 'words'=~/(word|word|word)(?{ print $1 })[xyz]/
+
+which prints out 'word' three times, but
+
+ 'words'=~/(word|word|word)(?{ print $1 })S/
+
+which doesnt print it out at all. This is due to other optimisations kicking in.
+
+Example of what happens on a structural level:
+
+The regexp /(ac|ad|ab)+/ will produce the following debug output:
+
+   1: CURLYM[1] {1,32767}(18)
+   5:   BRANCH(8)
+   6:     EXACT <ac>(16)
+   8:   BRANCH(11)
+   9:     EXACT <ad>(16)
+  11:   BRANCH(14)
+  12:     EXACT <ab>(16)
+  16:   SUCCEED(0)
+  17:   NOTHING(18)
+  18: END(0)
+
+This would be optimizable with startbranch=5, first=5, last=16, tail=16
+and should turn into:
+
+   1: CURLYM[1] {1,32767}(18)
+   5:   TRIE(16)
+       [Words:3 Chars Stored:6 Unique Chars:4 States:5 NCP:1]
+         <ac>
+         <ad>
+         <ab>
+  16:   SUCCEED(0)
+  17:   NOTHING(18)
+  18: END(0)
+
+Cases where tail != last would be like /(?foo|bar)baz/:
+
+   1: BRANCH(4)
+   2:   EXACT <foo>(8)
+   4: BRANCH(7)
+   5:   EXACT <bar>(8)
+   7: TAIL(8)
+   8: EXACT <baz>(10)
+  10: END(0)
+
+which would be optimizable with startbranch=1, first=1, last=7, tail=8
+and would end up looking like:
+
+    1: TRIE(8)
+      [Words:2 Chars Stored:6 Unique Chars:5 States:7 NCP:1]
+       <foo>
+       <bar>
+   7: TAIL(8)
+   8: EXACT <baz>(10)
+  10: END(0)

+           For sparse data sets the table constructed by the trie algorithm will
+           be mostly 0/FAIL transitions or to put it another way mostly empty.
+           (Note that leaf nodes will not contain any transitions.)
+
+           This algorithm compresses the tables by eliminating most such
+           transitions, at the cost of a modest bit of extra work during lookup:
+
+           - Each states[] entry contains a .base field which indicates the
+           index in the state[] array wheres its transition data is stored.
+
+           - If .base is 0 there are no valid transitions from that node.
+
+           - If .base is nonzero then charid is added to it to find an entry in
+           the trans array.
+
+           -If trans[states[state].base+charid].check!=state then the
+           transition is taken to be a 0/Fail transition. Thus if there are fail
+           transitions at the front of the node then the .base offset will point
+           somewhere inside the previous nodes data (or maybe even into a node
+           even earlier), but the .check field determines if the transition is
+           valid.
+
+           XXX - wrong maybe?
+           The following process inplace converts the table to the compressed
+           table: We first do not compress the root node 1,and mark all its
+           .check pointers as 1 and set its .base pointer as 1 as well. This
+           allows us to do a DFA construction from the compressed table later,
+           and ensures that any .base pointers we calculate later are greater
+           than 0.
+
+           - We set 'pos' to indicate the first entry of the second node.
+
+           - We then iterate over the columns of the node, finding the first and
+           last used entry at l and m. We then copy l..m into pos..(pos+m-l),
+           and set the .check pointers accordingly, and advance pos
+           appropriately and repreat for the next node. Note that when we copy
+           the next pointers we have to convert them from the original
+           NODEIDX form to NODENUM form as the former is not valid post
+           compression.
+
+           - If a node has no transitions used we mark its base as 0 and do not
+           advance the pos pointer.
+
+           - If a node only has one transition we use a second pointer into the
+           structure to fill in allocated fail transitions from other states.
+           This pointer is independent of the main pointer and scans forward
+           looking for null transitions that are allocated to a state. When it
+           finds one it writes the single transition into the "hole".  If the
+           pointer doesnt find one the single transition is appended as normal.
+
+           - Once compressed we can Renew/realloc the structures to release the
+           excess space.
+
+           See "Table-Compression Methods" in sec 3.9 of the Red Dragon,
+           specifically Fig 3.47 and the associated pseudocode.

+   We find the fail state for each state in the trie, this state is the longest
+   proper suffix of the current state's 'word' that is also a proper prefix of
+   another word in our trie. State 1 represents the word '' and is thus the
+   default fail state. This allows the DFA not to have to restart after its
+   tried and failed a word at a given point, it simply continues as though it
+   had been matching the other word in the first place.
+   Consider
+      'abcdgu'=~/abcdefg|cdgu/
+   When we get to 'd' we are still matching the first word, we would encounter
+   'g' which would fail, which would bring us to the state representing 'd' in
+   the second word where we would try 'g' and succeed, proceeding to match
+   'cdgu'.

+ *
+ * And *unfolded_multi_char is set to indicate whether or not the node contains
+ * an unfolded multi-char fold.  This happens when whether the fold is valid or
+ * not won't be known until runtime; namely for EXACTF nodes that contain LATIN
+ * SMALL LETTER SHARP S, as only if the target string being matched against
+ * turns out to be UTF-8 is that fold valid; and also for EXACTFL nodes whose
+ * folding rules depend on the locale in force at runtime.  (Multi-char folds
+ * whose components are all above the Latin1 range are not run-time locale
+ * dependent, and have already been folded by the time this function is
+ * called.)
+ *
+ * This is as good a place as any to discuss the design of handling these
+ * multi-character fold sequences.  It's been wrong in Perl for a very long
+ * time.  There are three code points in Unicode whose multi-character folds
+ * were long ago discovered to mess things up.  The previous designs for
+ * dealing with these involved assigning a special node for them.  This
+ * approach doesn't always work, as evidenced by this example:
+ *      "\xDFs" =~ /s\xDF/ui    # Used to fail before these patches
+ * Both sides fold to "sss", but if the pattern is parsed to create a node that
+ * would match just the \xDF, it won't be able to handle the case where a
+ * successful match would have to cross the node's boundary.  The new approach
+ * that hopefully generally solves the problem generates an EXACTFU_SS node
+ * that is "sss" in this case.
+ *
+ * It turns out that there are problems with all multi-character folds, and not
+ * just these three.  Now the code is general, for all such cases.  The
+ * approach taken is:
+ * 1)   This routine examines each EXACTFish node that could contain multi-
+ *      character folded sequences.  Since a single character can fold into
+ *      such a sequence, the minimum match length for this node is less than
+ *      the number of characters in the node.  This routine returns in
+ *      *min_subtract how many characters to subtract from the the actual
+ *      length of the string to get a real minimum match length; it is 0 if
+ *      there are no multi-char foldeds.  This delta is used by the caller to
+ *      adjust the min length of the match, and the delta between min and max,
+ *      so that the optimizer doesn't reject these possibilities based on size
+ *      constraints.
+ * 2)   For the sequence involving the Sharp s (\xDF), the node type EXACTFU_SS
+ *      is used for an EXACTFU node that contains at least one "ss" sequence in
+ *      it.  For non-UTF-8 patterns and strings, this is the only case where
+ *      there is a possible fold length change.  That means that a regular
+ *      EXACTFU node without UTF-8 involvement doesn't have to concern itself
+ *      with length changes, and so can be processed faster.  regexec.c takes
+ *      advantage of this.  Generally, an EXACTFish node that is in UTF-8 is
+ *      pre-folded by regcomp.c (except EXACTFL, some of whose folds aren't
+ *      known until runtime).  This saves effort in regex matching.  However,
+ *      the pre-folding isn't done for non-UTF8 patterns because the fold of
+ *      the MICRO SIGN requires UTF-8, and we don't want to slow things down by
+ *      forcing the pattern into UTF8 unless necessary.  Also what EXACTF (and,
+ *      again, EXACTFL) nodes fold to isn't known until runtime.  The fold
+ *      possibilities for the non-UTF8 patterns are quite simple, except for
+ *      the sharp s.  All the ones that don't involve a UTF-8 target string are
+ *      members of a fold-pair, and arrays are set up for all of them so that
+ *      the other member of the pair can be found quickly.  Code elsewhere in
+ *      this file makes sure that in EXACTFU nodes, the sharp s gets folded to
+ *      'ss', even if the pattern isn't UTF-8.  This avoids the issues
+ *      described in the next item.
+ * 3)   A problem remains for unfolded multi-char folds. (These occur when the
+ *      validity of the fold won't be known until runtime, and so must remain
+ *      unfolded for now.  This happens for the sharp s in EXACTF and EXACTFA
+ *      nodes when the pattern isn't in UTF-8.  (Note, BTW, that there cannot
+ *      be an EXACTF node with a UTF-8 pattern.)  They also occur for various
+ *      folds in EXACTFL nodes, regardless of the UTF-ness of the pattern.)
+ *      The reason this is a problem is that the optimizer part of regexec.c
+ *      (probably unwittingly, in Perl_regexec_flags()) makes an assumption
+ *      that a character in the pattern corresponds to at most a single
+ *      character in the target string.  (And I do mean character, and not byte
+ *      here, unlike other parts of the documentation that have never been
+ *      updated to account for multibyte Unicode.)  sharp s in EXACTF and
+ *      EXACTFL nodes can match the two character string 'ss'; in EXACTFA nodes
+ *      it can match "\x{17F}\x{17F}".  These, along with other ones in EXACTFL
+ *      nodes, violate the assumption, and they are the only instances where it
+ *      is violated.  I'm reluctant to try to change the assumption, as the
+ *      code involved is impenetrable to me (khw), so instead the code here
+ *      punts.  This routine examines EXACTFL nodes, and (when the pattern
+ *      isn't UTF-8) EXACTF and EXACTFA for such unfolded folds, and returns a
+ *      boolean indicating whether or not the node contains such a fold.  When
+ *      it is true, the caller sets a flag that later causes the optimizer in
+ *      this file to not set values for the floating and fixed string lengths,
+ *      and thus avoids the optimizer code in regexec.c that makes the invalid
+ *      assumption.  Thus, there is no optimization based on string lengths for
+ *      EXACTFL nodes that contain these few folds, nor for non-UTF8-pattern
+ *      EXACTF and EXACTFA nodes that contain the sharp s.  (The reason the
+ *      assumption is wrong only in these cases is that all other non-UTF-8
+ *      folds are 1-1; and, for UTF-8 patterns, we pre-fold all other folds to
+ *      their expanded versions.  (Again, we can't prefold sharp s to 'ss' in
+ *      EXACTF nodes because we don't know at compile time if it actually
+ *      matches 'ss' or not.  For EXACTF nodes it will match iff the target
+ *      string is in UTF-8.  This is in contrast to EXACTFU nodes, where it
+ *      always matches; and EXACTFA where it never does.  In an EXACTFA node in
+ *      a UTF-8 pattern, sharp s is folded to "\x{17F}\x{17F}, avoiding the
+ *      problem; but in a non-UTF8 pattern, folding it to that above-Latin1
+ *      string would require the pattern to be forced into UTF-8, the overhead
+ *      of which we want to avoid.  Similarly the unfolded multi-char folds in
+ *      EXACTFL nodes will match iff the locale at the time of match is a UTF-8
+ *      locale.)
+ *
+ *      Similarly, the code that generates tries doesn't currently handle
+ *      not-already-folded multi-char folds, and it looks like a pain to change
+ *      that.  Therefore, trie generation of EXACTFA nodes with the sharp s
+ *      doesn't work.  Instead, such an EXACTFA is turned into a new regnode,
+ *      EXACTFA_NO_TRIE, which the trie code knows not to handle.  Most people
+ *      using /iaa matching will be doing so almost entirely with ASCII
+ *      strings, so this should rarely be encountered in practice */

+/* This section of code defines the inversion list object and its methods.  The
+ * interfaces are highly subject to change, so as much as possible is static to
+ * this file.  An inversion list is here implemented as a malloc'd C UV array
+ * as an SVt_INVLIST scalar.
+ *
+ * An inversion list for Unicode is an array of code points, sorted by ordinal
+ * number.  The zeroth element is the first code point in the list.  The 1th
+ * element is the first element beyond that not in the list.  In other words,
+ * the first range is
+ *  invlist[0]..(invlist[1]-1)
+ * The other ranges follow.  Thus every element whose index is divisible by two
+ * marks the beginning of a range that is in the list, and every element not
+ * divisible by two marks the beginning of a range not in the list.  A single
+ * element inversion list that contains the single code point N generally
+ * consists of two elements
+ *  invlist[0] == N
+ *  invlist[1] == N+1
+ * (The exception is when N is the highest representable value on the
+ * machine, in which case the list containing just it would be a single
+ * element, itself.  By extension, if the last range in the list extends to
+ * infinity, then the first element of that range will be in the inversion list
+ * at a position that is divisible by two, and is the final element in the
+ * list.)
+ * Taking the complement (inverting) an inversion list is quite simple, if the
+ * first element is 0, remove it; otherwise add a 0 element at the beginning.
+ * This implementation reserves an element at the beginning of each inversion
+ * list to always contain 0; there is an additional flag in the header which
+ * indicates if the list begins at the 0, or is offset to begin at the next
+ * element.
+ *
+ * More about inversion lists can be found in "Unicode Demystified"
+ * Chapter 13 by Richard Gillam, published by Addison-Wesley.
+ * More will be coming when functionality is added later.
+ *
+ * The inversion list data structure is currently implemented as an SV pointing
+ * to an array of UVs that the SV thinks are bytes.  This allows us to have an
+ * array of UV whose memory management is automatically handled by the existing
+ * facilities for SV's.
+ *
+ * Some of the methods should always be private to the implementation, and some

+ * TEST_NON_UTF8 is the macro or function to call to test if its byte input is

+/*
+
+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.

+     * it sets both *<c1p> and *<c2p> to CHRTEST_VOID.
+     *
+     * The motiviation behind this function is to allow the caller to set up
+     * tight loops for matching.  If <text_node> is of type EXACT, there is
+     * only one possible character that can match its first character, and so
+     * the situation is quite simple.  But things get much more complicated if
+     * folding is involved.  It may be that the first character of an EXACTFish
+     * node doesn't participate in any possible fold, e.g., punctuation, so it
+     * can be matched only by itself.  The vast majority of characters that are
+     * in folds match just two things, their lower and upper-case equivalents.
+     * But not all are like that; some have multiple possible matches, or match
+     * sequences of more than one character.  This function sorts all that out.
+     *
+     * Consider the patterns A*B or A*?B where A and B are arbitrary.  In a
+     * loop of trying to match A*, we know we can't exit where the thing
+     * following it isn't a B.  And something can't be a B unless it is the
+     * beginning of B.  By putting a quick test for that beginning in a tight
+     * loop, we can rule out things that can't possibly be B without having to
+     * break out of the loop, thus avoiding work.  Similarly, if A is a single
+     * character, we can make a tight loop matching A*, using the outputs of
+     * this function.
+     *
+     * If the target string to match isn't in UTF-8, and there aren't
+     * complications which require CHRTEST_VOID, *<c1p> and *<c2p> are set to
+     * the one or two possible octets (which are characters in this situation)
+     * that can match.  In all cases, if there is only one character that can
+     * match, *<c1p> and *<c2p> will be identical.
+     *
+     * If the target string is in UTF-8, the buffers pointed to by <c1_utf8>

+            * find the longest-matching word. Also remember the position
+            * of the shortest matching word. For example, this pattern:
+            *    1  2 3 4    5
+            *    ab|a|x|abcd|abc
+            * when matched against the string "abcde", will generate
+            * accept states for all words except 3, with the longest
+            * matching word being 4, and the shortest being 2 (with
+            * the position being after char 1 of the string).
+            *
+            * Then for each matching word, in word order (i.e. 1,2,4,5),
+            * we run the remainder of the pattern; on each try setting
+            * the current position to the character following the word,
+            * returning to try the next word on failure.
+            *
+            * We avoid having to build a list of words at runtime by
+            * using a compile-time structure, wordinfo[].prev, which
+            * gives, for each word, the previous accepting word (if any).
+            * 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 
+CO     <CO prev=NULL> <WO>

+/* About scan_data_t.
+
+  During optimisation we recurse through the regexp program performing
+  various inplace (keyhole style) optimisations. In addition study_chunk
+  and scan_commit populate this data structure with information about
+  what strings MUST appear in the pattern. We look for the longest
+  string that must appear at a fixed location, and we look for the
+  longest string that may appear at a floating location. So for instance
+  in the pattern:
+
+ /FOO[xX]A.*B[xX]BAR/
+
+  Both 'FOO' and 'A' are fixed strings. Both 'B' and 'BAR' are floating
+  strings (because they follow a .* construct). study_chunk will identify
+  both FOO and BAR as being the longest fixed and floating strings respectively.
+
+  The strings can be composites, for instance
+
+ /(f)(o)(o)/
+
+  will result in a composite fixed substring 'foo'.
+
+  For each string some basic information is maintained:
+
+  - offset or min_offset
+ This is the position the string must appear at, or not before.
+ It also implicitly (when combined with minlenp) tells us how many
+ characters must match before the string we are searching for.
+ Likewise when combined with minlenp and the length of the string it
+ tells us how many characters must appear after the string we have
+ found.
+
+  - max_offset
+ Only used for floating strings. This is the rightmost point that
+ the string can appear at. If set to SSize_t_MAX it indicates that the
+ string can occur infinitely far to the right.
+
+  - minlenp
+ A pointer to the minimum number of characters of the pattern that the
+ string was found inside. This is important as in the case of positive
+ lookahead or positive lookbehind we can have multiple patterns
+ involved. Consider
+
+ /(?=FOO).*F/
+
+ The minimum length of the pattern overall is 3, the minimum length
+ of the lookahead part is 3, but the minimum length of the part that
+ will actually match is 1. So 'FOO's minimum length is 3, but the
+ minimum length for the F is 1. This is important as the minimum length
+ is used to determine offsets in front of and behind the string being
+ looked for.  Since strings can be composites this is the length of the
+ pattern at the time it was committed with a scan_commit. Note that
+ the length is calculated by study_chunk, so that the minimum lengths
+ are not known until the full pattern has been compiled, thus the
+ pointer to the value.
+
+  - lookbehind
+
+ In the case of lookbehind the string being searched for can be
+ offset past the start point of the final matching string.
+ If this value was just blithely removed from the min_offset it would
+ invalidate some of the calculations for how many chars must match
+ before or after (as they are derived from min_offset and minlen and
+ the length of the string being searched for).
+ When the final pattern is compiled and the data is moved from the
+ scan_data_t structure into the regexp structure the information
+ about lookbehind is factored in, with the information that would
+ have been lost precalculated in the end_shift field for the
+ associated string.
+
+  The fields pos_min and pos_delta are used to store the minimum offset
+  and the delta to the maximum offset at the current point in the pattern.

+Inplace optimizes a sequence of 2 or more Branch-Exact nodes into a TRIE node.
+
+A trie is an N'ary tree where the branches are determined by digital
+decomposition of the key. IE, at the root node you look up the 1st character and
+follow that branch repeat until you find the end of the branches. Nodes can be
+marked as "accepting" meaning they represent a complete word. Eg:
+
+  /he|she|his|hers/
+
+would convert into the following structure. Numbers represent states, letters
+following numbers represent valid transitions on the letter from that state, if
+the number is in square brackets it represents an accepting state, otherwise it
+will be in parenthesis.
+
+ +-h->+-e->[3]-+-r->(8)-+-s->[9]
+ |    |
+ |   (2)
+ |    |
+ (1)   +-i->(6)-+-s->[7]
+ |
+ +-s->(3)-+-h->(4)-+-e->[5]
+
+ Accept Word Mapping: 3=>1 (he),5=>2 (she), 7=>3 (his), 9=>4 (hers)
+
+This shows that when matching against the string 'hers' we will begin at state 1
+read 'h' and move to state 2, read 'e' and move to state 3 which is accepting,
+then read 'r' and go to state 8 followed by 's' which takes us to state 9 which
+is also accepting. Thus we know that we can match both 'he' and 'hers' with a
+single traverse. We store a mapping from accepting to state to which word was
+matched, and then when we have multiple possibilities we try to complete the
+rest of the regex in the order in which they occured in the alternation.
+
+The only prior NFA like behaviour that would be changed by the TRIE support is
+the silent ignoring of duplicate alternations which are of the form:
+
+ / (DUPE|DUPE) X? (?{ ... }) Y /x
+
+Thus EVAL blocks following a trie may be called a different number of times with
+and without the optimisation. With the optimisations dupes will be silently
+ignored. This inconsistent behaviour of EVAL type nodes is well established as
+the following demonstrates:
+
+ 'words'=~/(word|word|word)(?{ print $1 })[xyz]/
+
+which prints out 'word' three times, but
+
+ 'words'=~/(word|word|word)(?{ print $1 })S/
+
+which doesnt print it out at all. This is due to other optimisations kicking in.
+
+Example of what happens on a structural level:
+
+The regexp /(ac|ad|ab)+/ will produce the following debug output:
+
+   1: CURLYM[1] {1,32767}(18)
+   5:   BRANCH(8)
+   6:     EXACT <ac>(16)
+   8:   BRANCH(11)
+   9:     EXACT <ad>(16)
+  11:   BRANCH(14)
+  12:     EXACT <ab>(16)
+  16:   SUCCEED(0)
+  17:   NOTHING(18)
+  18: END(0)
+
+This would be optimizable with startbranch=5, first=5, last=16, tail=16
+and should turn into:
+
+   1: CURLYM[1] {1,32767}(18)
+   5:   TRIE(16)
+  [Words:3 Chars Stored:6 Unique Chars:4 States:5 NCP:1]
+  <ac>
+  <ad>
+  <ab>
+  16:   SUCCEED(0)
+  17:   NOTHING(18)
+  18: END(0)
+
+Cases where tail != last would be like /(?foo|bar)baz/:
+
+   1: BRANCH(4)
+   2:   EXACT <foo>(8)
+   4: BRANCH(7)
+   5:   EXACT <bar>(8)
+   7: TAIL(8)
+   8: EXACT <baz>(10)
+  10: END(0)
+
+which would be optimizable with startbranch=1, first=1, last=7, tail=8
+and would end up looking like:
+
+ 1: TRIE(8)
+ [Words:2 Chars Stored:6 Unique Chars:5 States:7 NCP:1]
+  <foo>
+  <bar>
+   7: TAIL(8)

+
+  We then construct the trie using only the .next slots of the entry
+  structs.
+
+  We use the .check field of the first entry of the node temporarily

+  many non zero fields are in the node.
+
+  Since trans are numbered from 1 any 0 pointer in the table is a FAIL
+  transition.
+
+  There are two terms at use here: state as a TRIE_NODEIDX() which is
+  a number representing the first entry of the node, and state as a
+  TRIE_NODENUM() which is the trans number. state 1 is TRIE_NODEIDX(1)
+  and TRIE_NODENUM(1), state 2 is TRIE_NODEIDX(2) and TRIE_NODENUM(3)

+  2. 0 3    3. 0 5
+  3. 0 0    5. 0 0
+  4. 0 0    7. 0 0
+
+  The table is internally in the right hand, idx form. However as we

+  (Note that leaf nodes will not contain any transitions.)
+
+  This algorithm compresses the tables by eliminating most such
+  transitions, at the cost of a modest bit of extra work during lookup:
+
+  - Each states[] entry contains a .base field which indicates the
+  index in the state[] array wheres its transition data is stored.
+
+  - If .base is 0 there are no valid transitions from that node.
+
+  - If .base is nonzero then charid is added to it to find an entry in
+  the trans array.
+
+  -If trans[states[state].base+charid].check!=state then the
+  transition is taken to be a 0/Fail transition. Thus if there are fail
+  transitions at the front of the node then the .base offset will point
+  somewhere inside the previous nodes data (or maybe even into a node
+  even earlier), but the .check field determines if the transition is
+  valid.
+
+  XXX - wrong maybe?
+  The following process inplace converts the table to the compressed
+  table: We first do not compress the root node 1,and mark all its
+  .check pointers as 1 and set its .base pointer as 1 as well. This
+  allows us to do a DFA construction from the compressed table later,
+  and ensures that any .base pointers we calculate later are greater
+  than 0.
+
+  - We set 'pos' to indicate the first entry of the second node.
+
+  - We then iterate over the columns of the node, finding the first and
+  last used entry at l and m. We then copy l..m into pos..(pos+m-l),
+  and set the .check pointers accordingly, and advance pos
+  appropriately and repreat for the next node. Note that when we copy
+  the next pointers we have to convert them from the original
+  NODEIDX form to NODENUM form as the former is not valid post
+  compression.
+
+  - If a node has no transitions used we mark its base as 0 and do not
+  advance the pos pointer.
+
+  - If a node only has one transition we use a second pointer into the
+  structure to fill in allocated fail transitions from other states.
+  This pointer is independent of the main pointer and scans forward
+  looking for null transitions that are allocated to a state. When it
+  finds one it writes the single transition into the "hole".  If the
+  pointer doesnt find one the single transition is appended as normal.
+
+  - Once compressed we can Renew/realloc the structures to release the
+  excess space.
+
+  See "Table-Compression Methods" in sec 3.9 of the Red Dragon,

+ * SMALL LETTER SHARP S, as only if the target string being matched against
+ * turns out to be UTF-8 is that fold valid; and also for EXACTFL nodes whose
+ * folding rules depend on the locale in force at runtime.  (Multi-char folds
+ * whose components are all above the Latin1 range are not run-time locale
+ * dependent, and have already been folded by the time this function is
+ * called.)
+ *
+ * This is as good a place as any to discuss the design of handling these
+ * multi-character fold sequences.  It's been wrong in Perl for a very long
+ * time.  There are three code points in Unicode whose multi-character folds
+ * were long ago discovered to mess things up.  The previous designs for
+ * dealing with these involved assigning a special node for them.  This
+ * approach doesn't always work, as evidenced by this example:
+ *      "\xDFs" =~ /s\xDF/ui    # Used to fail before these patches
+ * Both sides fold to "sss", but if the pattern is parsed to create a node that
+ * would match just the \xDF, it won't be able to handle the case where a
+ * successful match would have to cross the node's boundary.  The new approach
+ * that hopefully generally solves the problem generates an EXACTFU_SS node
+ * that is "sss" in this case.
+ *
+ * It turns out that there are problems with all multi-character folds, and not
+ * just these three.  Now the code is general, for all such cases.  The
+ * approach taken is:
+ * 1)   This routine examines each EXACTFish node that could contain multi-
+ *      character folded sequences.  Since a single character can fold into
+ *      such a sequence, the minimum match length for this node is less than
+ *      the number of characters in the node.  This routine returns in
+ *      *min_subtract how many characters to subtract from the the actual
+ *      length of the string to get a real minimum match length; it is 0 if
+ *      there are no multi-char foldeds.  This delta is used by the caller to
+ *      adjust the min length of the match, and the delta between min and max,
+ *      so that the optimizer doesn't reject these possibilities based on size
+ *      constraints.
+ * 2)   For the sequence involving the Sharp s (\xDF), the node type EXACTFU_SS
+ *      is used for an EXACTFU node that contains at least one "ss" sequence in
+ *      it.  For non-UTF-8 patterns and strings, this is the only case where
+ *      there is a possible fold length change.  That means that a regular
+ *      EXACTFU node without UTF-8 involvement doesn't have to concern itself
+ *      with length changes, and so can be processed faster.  regexec.c takes
+ *      advantage of this.  Generally, an EXACTFish node that is in UTF-8 is
+ *      pre-folded by regcomp.c (except EXACTFL, some of whose folds aren't
+ *      known until runtime).  This saves effort in regex matching.  However,
+ *      the pre-folding isn't done for non-UTF8 patterns because the fold of
+ *      the MICRO SIGN requires UTF-8, and we don't want to slow things down by
+ *      forcing the pattern into UTF8 unless necessary.  Also what EXACTF (and,
+ *      again, EXACTFL) nodes fold to isn't known until runtime.  The fold
+ *      possibilities for the non-UTF8 patterns are quite simple, except for
+ *      the sharp s.  All the ones that don't involve a UTF-8 target string are
+ *      members of a fold-pair, and arrays are set up for all of them so that
+ *      the other member of the pair can be found quickly.  Code elsewhere in
+ *      this file makes sure that in EXACTFU nodes, the sharp s gets folded to
+ *      'ss', even if the pattern isn't UTF-8.  This avoids the issues
+ *      described in the next item.
+ * 3)   A problem remains for unfolded multi-char folds. (These occur when the
+ *      validity of the fold won't be known until runtime, and so must remain
+ *      unfolded for now.  This happens for the sharp s in EXACTF and EXACTFA
+ *      nodes when the pattern isn't in UTF-8.  (Note, BTW, that there cannot
+ *      be an EXACTF node with a UTF-8 pattern.)  They also occur for various
+ *      folds in EXACTFL nodes, regardless of the UTF-ness of the pattern.)
+ *      The reason this is a problem is that the optimizer part of regexec.c
+ *      (probably unwittingly, in Perl_regexec_flags()) makes an assumption
+ *      that a character in the pattern corresponds to at most a single
+ *      character in the target string.  (And I do mean character, and not byte
+ *      here, unlike other parts of the documentation that have never been
+ *      updated to account for multibyte Unicode.)  sharp s in EXACTF and
+ *      EXACTFL nodes can match the two character string 'ss'; in EXACTFA nodes
+ *      it can match "\x{17F}\x{17F}".  These, along with other ones in EXACTFL
+ *      nodes, violate the assumption, and they are the only instances where it
+ *      is violated.  I'm reluctant to try to change the assumption, as the
+ *      code involved is impenetrable to me (khw), so instead the code here
+ *      punts.  This routine examines EXACTFL nodes, and (when the pattern
+ *      isn't UTF-8) EXACTF and EXACTFA for such unfolded folds, and returns a
+ *      boolean indicating whether or not the node contains such a fold.  When
+ *      it is true, the caller sets a flag that later causes the optimizer in
+ *      this file to not set values for the floating and fixed string lengths,
+ *      and thus avoids the optimizer code in regexec.c that makes the invalid
+ *      assumption.  Thus, there is no optimization based on string lengths for
+ *      EXACTFL nodes that contain these few folds, nor for non-UTF8-pattern
+ *      EXACTF and EXACTFA nodes that contain the sharp s.  (The reason the
+ *      assumption is wrong only in these cases is that all other non-UTF-8
+ *      folds are 1-1; and, for UTF-8 patterns, we pre-fold all other folds to
+ *      their expanded versions.  (Again, we can't prefold sharp s to 'ss' in
+ *      EXACTF nodes because we don't know at compile time if it actually
+ *      matches 'ss' or not.  For EXACTF nodes it will match iff the target
+ *      string is in UTF-8.  This is in contrast to EXACTFU nodes, where it
+ *      always matches; and EXACTFA where it never does.  In an EXACTFA node in
+ *      a UTF-8 pattern, sharp s is folded to "\x{17F}\x{17F}, avoiding the
+ *      problem; but in a non-UTF8 pattern, folding it to that above-Latin1
+ *      string would require the pattern to be forced into UTF-8, the overhead
+ *      of which we want to avoid.  Similarly the unfolded multi-char folds in
+ *      EXACTFL nodes will match iff the locale at the time of match is a UTF-8
+ *      locale.)
+ *
+ *      Similarly, the code that generates tries doesn't currently handle
+ *      not-already-folded multi-char folds, and it looks like a pain to change
+ *      that.  Therefore, trie generation of EXACTFA nodes with the sharp s
+ *      doesn't work.  Instead, such an EXACTFA is turned into a new regnode,
+ *      EXACTFA_NO_TRIE, which the trie code knows not to handle.  Most people
+ *      using /iaa matching will be doing so almost entirely with ASCII
+ *      strings, so this should rarely be encountered in practice */

+/* This section of code defines the inversion list object and its methods.  The
+ * interfaces are highly subject to change, so as much as possible is static to
+ * this file.  An inversion list is here implemented as a malloc'd C UV array
+ * as an SVt_INVLIST scalar.
+ *
+ * An inversion list for Unicode is an array of code points, sorted by ordinal
+ * number.  The zeroth element is the first code point in the list.  The 1th
+ * element is the first element beyond that not in the list.  In other words,
+ * the first range is
+ *  invlist[0]..(invlist[1]-1)
+ * The other ranges follow.  Thus every element whose index is divisible by two
+ * marks the beginning of a range that is in the list, and every element not
+ * divisible by two marks the beginning of a range not in the list.  A single
+ * element inversion list that contains the single code point N generally
+ * consists of two elements
+ *  invlist[0] == N
+ *  invlist[1] == N+1
+ * (The exception is when N is the highest representable value on the
+ * machine, in which case the list containing just it would be a single
+ * element, itself.  By extension, if the last range in the list extends to
+ * infinity, then the first element of that range will be in the inversion list
+ * at a position that is divisible by two, and is the final element in the
+ * list.)
+ * Taking the complement (inverting) an inversion list is quite simple, if the
+ * first element is 0, remove it; otherwise add a 0 element at the beginning.
+ * This implementation reserves an element at the beginning of each inversion
+ * list to always contain 0; there is an additional flag in the header which
+ * indicates if the list begins at the 0, or is offset to begin at the next
+ * element.
+ *
+ * More about inversion lists can be found in "Unicode Demystified"
+ * Chapter 13 by Richard Gillam, published by Addison-Wesley.
+ * More will be coming when functionality is added later.
+ *
+ * The inversion list data structure is currently implemented as an SV pointing
+ * to an array of UVs that the SV thinks are bytes.  This allows us to have an
+ * array of UV whose memory management is automatically handled by the existing
+ * facilities for SV's.
+ *
+ * Some of the methods should always be private to the implementation, and some

+ *      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.

+ *

+ * match, it returns FALSE; otherwise TRUE.  (The FALSE situation occurs if
+ * the first character in <text_node> requires UTF-8 to represent, and the
+ * target string isn't in UTF-8.)
+ *
+ * If there are more than two characters that could match the beginning of
+ * <text_node>, or if more context is required to determine a match or not,
+ * it sets both *<c1p> and *<c2p> to CHRTEST_VOID.
+ *
+ * The motiviation behind this function is to allow the caller to set up
+ * tight loops for matching.  If <text_node> is of type EXACT, there is
+ * only one possible character that can match its first character, and so
+ * the situation is quite simple.  But things get much more complicated if
+ * folding is involved.  It may be that the first character of an EXACTFish
+ * node doesn't participate in any possible fold, e.g., punctuation, so it
+ * can be matched only by itself.  The vast majority of characters that are
+ * in folds match just two things, their lower and upper-case equivalents.
+ * But not all are like that; some have multiple possible matches, or match
+ * sequences of more than one character.  This function sorts all that out.
+ *
+ * Consider the patterns A*B or A*?B where A and B are arbitrary.  In a
+ * loop of trying to match A*, we know we can't exit where the thing
+ * following it isn't a B.  And something can't be a B unless it is the
+ * beginning of B.  By putting a quick test for that beginning in a tight
+ * loop, we can rule out things that can't possibly be B without having to
+ * break out of the loop, thus avoiding work.  Similarly, if A is a single
+ * character, we can make a tight loop matching A*, using the outputs of
+ * this function.
+ *
+ * If the target string to match isn't in UTF-8, and there aren't
+ * complications which require CHRTEST_VOID, *<c1p> and *<c2p> are set to
+ * the one or two possible octets (which are characters in this situation)
+ * that can match.  In all cases, if there is only one character that can
+ * match, *<c1p> and *<c2p> will be identical.
+ *
+ * If the target string is in UTF-8, the buffers pointed to by <c1_utf8>
+ * and <c2_utf8> will contain the one or two UTF-8 sequences of bytes that

+   * find the longest-matching word. Also remember the position
+   * of the shortest matching word. For example, this pattern:
+   *    1  2 3 4    5
+   *    ab|a|x|abcd|abc
+   * when matched against the string "abcde", will generate
+   * accept states for all words except 3, with the longest
+   * matching word being 4, and the shortest being 2 (with
+   * the position being after char 1 of the string).
+   *
+   * Then for each matching word, in word order (i.e. 1,2,4,5),
+   * we run the remainder of the pattern; on each try setting
+   * the current position to the character following the word,
+   * returning to try the next word on failure.
+   *
+   * We avoid having to build a list of words at runtime by
+   * using a compile-time structure, wordinfo[].prev, which
+   * gives, for each word, the previous accepting word (if any).
+   * 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

+/* About scan_data_t.
+
+  During optimisation we recurse through the regexp program performing
+  various inplace (keyhole style) optimisations. In addition study_chunk
+  and scan_commit populate this data structure with information about
+  what strings MUST appear in the pattern. We look for the longest
+  string that must appear at a fixed location, and we look for the
+  longest string that may appear at a floating location. So for instance
+  in the pattern:
+
+    /FOO[xX]A.*B[xX]BAR/
+
+  Both 'FOO' and 'A' are fixed strings. Both 'B' and 'BAR' are floating
+  strings (because they follow a .* construct). study_chunk will identify
+  both FOO and BAR as being the longest fixed and floating strings respectively.
+
+  The strings can be composites, for instance
+
+     /(f)(o)(o)/
+
+  will result in a composite fixed substring 'foo'.
+
+  For each string some basic information is maintained:
+
+  - offset or min_offset
+    This is the position the string must appear at, or not before.
+    It also implicitly (when combined with minlenp) tells us how many
+    characters must match before the string we are searching for.
+    Likewise when combined with minlenp and the length of the string it
+    tells us how many characters must appear after the string we have
+    found.
+
+  - max_offset
+    Only used for floating strings. This is the rightmost point that
+    the string can appear at. If set to SSize_t_MAX it indicates that the
+    string can occur infinitely far to the right.
+
+  - minlenp
+    A pointer to the minimum number of characters of the pattern that the
+    string was found inside. This is important as in the case of positive
+    lookahead or positive lookbehind we can have multiple patterns
+    involved. Consider
+
+    /(?=FOO).*F/
+
+    The minimum length of the pattern overall is 3, the minimum length
+    of the lookahead part is 3, but the minimum length of the part that
+    will actually match is 1. So 'FOO's minimum length is 3, but the
+    minimum length for the F is 1. This is important as the minimum length
+    is used to determine offsets in front of and behind the string being
+    looked for.  Since strings can be composites this is the length of the
+    pattern at the time it was committed with a scan_commit. Note that
+    the length is calculated by study_chunk, so that the minimum lengths
+    are not known until the full pattern has been compiled, thus the
+    pointer to the value.
+
+  - lookbehind
+
+    In the case of lookbehind the string being searched for can be
+    offset past the start point of the final matching string.
+    If this value was just blithely removed from the min_offset it would
+    invalidate some of the calculations for how many chars must match
+    before or after (as they are derived from min_offset and minlen and
+    the length of the string being searched for).
+    When the final pattern is compiled and the data is moved from the
+    scan_data_t structure into the regexp structure the information
+    about lookbehind is factored in, with the information that would
+    have been lost precalculated in the end_shift field for the
+    associated string.
+
+  The fields pos_min and pos_delta are used to store the minimum offset
+  and the delta to the maximum offset at the current point in the pattern.

+Inplace optimizes a sequence of 2 or more Branch-Exact nodes into a TRIE node.
+
+A trie is an N'ary tree where the branches are determined by digital
+decomposition of the key. IE, at the root node you look up the 1st character and
+follow that branch repeat until you find the end of the branches. Nodes can be
+marked as "accepting" meaning they represent a complete word. Eg:
+
+  /he|she|his|hers/
+
+would convert into the following structure. Numbers represent states, letters
+following numbers represent valid transitions on the letter from that state, if
+the number is in square brackets it represents an accepting state, otherwise it
+will be in parenthesis.
+
+      +-h->+-e->[3]-+-r->(8)-+-s->[9]
+      |    |
+      |   (2)
+      |    |
+     (1)   +-i->(6)-+-s->[7]
+      |
+      +-s->(3)-+-h->(4)-+-e->[5]
+
+      Accept Word Mapping: 3=>1 (he),5=>2 (she), 7=>3 (his), 9=>4 (hers)
+
+This shows that when matching against the string 'hers' we will begin at state 1
+read 'h' and move to state 2, read 'e' and move to state 3 which is accepting,
+then read 'r' and go to state 8 followed by 's' which takes us to state 9 which
+is also accepting. Thus we know that we can match both 'he' and 'hers' with a
+single traverse. We store a mapping from accepting to state to which word was
+matched, and then when we have multiple possibilities we try to complete the
+rest of the regex in the order in which they occured in the alternation.
+
+The only prior NFA like behaviour that would be changed by the TRIE support is
+the silent ignoring of duplicate alternations which are of the form:
+
+ / (DUPE|DUPE) X? (?{ ... }) Y /x
+
+Thus EVAL blocks following a trie may be called a different number of times with
+and without the optimisation. With the optimisations dupes will be silently
+ignored. This inconsistent behaviour of EVAL type nodes is well established as
+the following demonstrates:
+
+ 'words'=~/(word|word|word)(?{ print $1 })[xyz]/
+
+which prints out 'word' three times, but
+
+ 'words'=~/(word|word|word)(?{ print $1 })S/
+
+which doesnt print it out at all. This is due to other optimisations kicking in.
+
+Example of what happens on a structural level:
+
+The regexp /(ac|ad|ab)+/ will produce the following debug output:
+
+   1: CURLYM[1] {1,32767}(18)
+   5:   BRANCH(8)
+   6:     EXACT <ac>(16)
+   8:   BRANCH(11)
+   9:     EXACT <ad>(16)
+  11:   BRANCH(14)
+  12:     EXACT <ab>(16)
+  16:   SUCCEED(0)
+  17:   NOTHING(18)
+  18: END(0)
+
+This would be optimizable with startbranch=5, first=5, last=16, tail=16
+and should turn into:
+
+   1: CURLYM[1] {1,32767}(18)
+   5:   TRIE(16)
+       [Words:3 Chars Stored:6 Unique Chars:4 States:5 NCP:1]
+         <ac>
+         <ad>
+         <ab>
+  16:   SUCCEED(0)
+  17:   NOTHING(18)
+  18: END(0)
+
+Cases where tail != last would be like /(?foo|bar)baz/:
+
+   1: BRANCH(4)
+   2:   EXACT <foo>(8)
+   4: BRANCH(7)
+   5:   EXACT <bar>(8)
+   7: TAIL(8)
+   8: EXACT <baz>(10)
+  10: END(0)
+
+which would be optimizable with startbranch=1, first=1, last=7, tail=8
+and would end up looking like:

+           (Note that leaf nodes will not contain any transitions.)
+
+           This algorithm compresses the tables by eliminating most such
+           transitions, at the cost of a modest bit of extra work during lookup:
+
+           - Each states[] entry contains a .base field which indicates the
+           index in the state[] array wheres its transition data is stored.
+
+           - If .base is 0 there are no valid transitions from that node.
+
+           - If .base is nonzero then charid is added to it to find an entry in
+           the trans array.
+
+           -If trans[states[state].base+charid].check!=state then the
+           transition is taken to be a 0/Fail transition. Thus if there are fail
+           transitions at the front of the node then the .base offset will point
+           somewhere inside the previous nodes data (or maybe even into a node
+           even earlier), but the .check field determines if the transition is
+           valid.
+
+           XXX - wrong maybe?
+           The following process inplace converts the table to the compressed
+           table: We first do not compress the root node 1,and mark all its
+           .check pointers as 1 and set its .base pointer as 1 as well. This
+           allows us to do a DFA construction from the compressed table later,
+           and ensures that any .base pointers we calculate later are greater
+           than 0.
+
+           - We set 'pos' to indicate the first entry of the second node.
+
+           - We then iterate over the columns of the node, finding the first and
+           last used entry at l and m. We then copy l..m into pos..(pos+m-l),
+           and set the .check pointers accordingly, and advance pos
+           appropriately and repreat for the next node. Note that when we copy
+           the next pointers we have to convert them from the original
+           NODEIDX form to NODENUM form as the former is not valid post
+           compression.
+
+           - If a node has no transitions used we mark its base as 0 and do not
+           advance the pos pointer.
+
+           - If a node only has one transition we use a second pointer into the
+           structure to fill in allocated fail transitions from other states.
+           This pointer is independent of the main pointer and scans forward
+           looking for null transitions that are allocated to a state. When it
+           finds one it writes the single transition into the "hole".  If the
+           pointer doesnt find one the single transition is appended as normal.
+
+           - Once compressed we can Renew/realloc the structures to release the

+ * SMALL LETTER SHARP S, as only if the target string being matched against
+ * turns out to be UTF-8 is that fold valid; and also for EXACTFL nodes whose
+ * folding rules depend on the locale in force at runtime.  (Multi-char folds
+ * whose components are all above the Latin1 range are not run-time locale
+ * dependent, and have already been folded by the time this function is
+ * called.)
+ *
+ * This is as good a place as any to discuss the design of handling these
+ * multi-character fold sequences.  It's been wrong in Perl for a very long
+ * time.  There are three code points in Unicode whose multi-character folds
+ * were long ago discovered to mess things up.  The previous designs for
+ * dealing with these involved assigning a special node for them.  This
+ * approach doesn't always work, as evidenced by this example:
+ *      "\xDFs" =~ /s\xDF/ui    # Used to fail before these patches
+ * Both sides fold to "sss", but if the pattern is parsed to create a node that
+ * would match just the \xDF, it won't be able to handle the case where a
+ * successful match would have to cross the node's boundary.  The new approach
+ * that hopefully generally solves the problem generates an EXACTFU_SS node
+ * that is "sss" in this case.
+ *
+ * It turns out that there are problems with all multi-character folds, and not
+ * just these three.  Now the code is general, for all such cases.  The
+ * approach taken is:
+ * 1)   This routine examines each EXACTFish node that could contain multi-
+ *      character folded sequences.  Since a single character can fold into
+ *      such a sequence, the minimum match length for this node is less than
+ *      the number of characters in the node.  This routine returns in
+ *      *min_subtract how many characters to subtract from the the actual
+ *      length of the string to get a real minimum match length; it is 0 if
+ *      there are no multi-char foldeds.  This delta is used by the caller to
+ *      adjust the min length of the match, and the delta between min and max,
+ *      so that the optimizer doesn't reject these possibilities based on size
+ *      constraints.
+ * 2)   For the sequence involving the Sharp s (\xDF), the node type EXACTFU_SS
+ *      is used for an EXACTFU node that contains at least one "ss" sequence in
+ *      it.  For non-UTF-8 patterns and strings, this is the only case where
+ *      there is a possible fold length change.  That means that a regular
+ *      EXACTFU node without UTF-8 involvement doesn't have to concern itself
+ *      with length changes, and so can be processed faster.  regexec.c takes
+ *      advantage of this.  Generally, an EXACTFish node that is in UTF-8 is
+ *      pre-folded by regcomp.c (except EXACTFL, some of whose folds aren't
+ *      known until runtime).  This saves effort in regex matching.  However,
+ *      the pre-folding isn't done for non-UTF8 patterns because the fold of
+ *      the MICRO SIGN requires UTF-8, and we don't want to slow things down by
+ *      forcing the pattern into UTF8 unless necessary.  Also what EXACTF (and,
+ *      again, EXACTFL) nodes fold to isn't known until runtime.  The fold
+ *      possibilities for the non-UTF8 patterns are quite simple, except for
+ *      the sharp s.  All the ones that don't involve a UTF-8 target string are
+ *      members of a fold-pair, and arrays are set up for all of them so that
+ *      the other member of the pair can be found quickly.  Code elsewhere in
+ *      this file makes sure that in EXACTFU nodes, the sharp s gets folded to
+ *      'ss', even if the pattern isn't UTF-8.  This avoids the issues
+ *      described in the next item.
+ * 3)   A problem remains for unfolded multi-char folds. (These occur when the
+ *      validity of the fold won't be known until runtime, and so must remain
+ *      unfolded for now.  This happens for the sharp s in EXACTF and EXACTFA
+ *      nodes when the pattern isn't in UTF-8.  (Note, BTW, that there cannot
+ *      be an EXACTF node with a UTF-8 pattern.)  They also occur for various
+ *      folds in EXACTFL nodes, regardless of the UTF-ness of the pattern.)
+ *      The reason this is a problem is that the optimizer part of regexec.c
+ *      (probably unwittingly, in Perl_regexec_flags()) makes an assumption
+ *      that a character in the pattern corresponds to at most a single
+ *      character in the target string.  (And I do mean character, and not byte
+ *      here, unlike other parts of the documentation that have never been
+ *      updated to account for multibyte Unicode.)  sharp s in EXACTF and
+ *      EXACTFL nodes can match the two character string 'ss'; in EXACTFA nodes
+ *      it can match "\x{17F}\x{17F}".  These, along with other ones in EXACTFL
+ *      nodes, violate the assumption, and they are the only instances where it
+ *      is violated.  I'm reluctant to try to change the assumption, as the
+ *      code involved is impenetrable to me (khw), so instead the code here
+ *      punts.  This routine examines EXACTFL nodes, and (when the pattern
+ *      isn't UTF-8) EXACTF and EXACTFA for such unfolded folds, and returns a
+ *      boolean indicating whether or not the node contains such a fold.  When
+ *      it is true, the caller sets a flag that later causes the optimizer in
+ *      this file to not set values for the floating and fixed string lengths,
+ *      and thus avoids the optimizer code in regexec.c that makes the invalid
+ *      assumption.  Thus, there is no optimization based on string lengths for
+ *      EXACTFL nodes that contain these few folds, nor for non-UTF8-pattern
+ *      EXACTF and EXACTFA nodes that contain the sharp s.  (The reason the
+ *      assumption is wrong only in these cases is that all other non-UTF-8
+ *      folds are 1-1; and, for UTF-8 patterns, we pre-fold all other folds to
+ *      their expanded versions.  (Again, we can't prefold sharp s to 'ss' in
+ *      EXACTF nodes because we don't know at compile time if it actually
+ *      matches 'ss' or not.  For EXACTF nodes it will match iff the target
+ *      string is in UTF-8.  This is in contrast to EXACTFU nodes, where it
+ *      always matches; and EXACTFA where it never does.  In an EXACTFA node in
+ *      a UTF-8 pattern, sharp s is folded to "\x{17F}\x{17F}, avoiding the
+ *      problem; but in a non-UTF8 pattern, folding it to that above-Latin1
+ *      string would require the pattern to be forced into UTF-8, the overhead
+ *      of which we want to avoid.  Similarly the unfolded multi-char folds in
+ *      EXACTFL nodes will match iff the locale at the time of match is a UTF-8
+ *      locale.)
+ *
+ *      Similarly, the code that generates tries doesn't currently handle
+ *      not-already-folded multi-char folds, and it looks like a pain to change
+ *      that.  Therefore, trie generation of EXACTFA nodes with the sharp s
+ *      doesn't work.  Instead, such an EXACTFA is turned into a new regnode,
+ *      EXACTFA_NO_TRIE, which the trie code knows not to handle.  Most people
+ *      using /iaa matching will be doing so almost entirely with ASCII
+ *      strings, so this should rarely be encountered in practice */

+/* This section of code defines the inversion list object and its methods.  The
+ * interfaces are highly subject to change, so as much as possible is static to
+ * this file.  An inversion list is here implemented as a malloc'd C UV array
+ * as an SVt_INVLIST scalar.
+ *
+ * An inversion list for Unicode is an array of code points, sorted by ordinal
+ * number.  The zeroth element is the first code point in the list.  The 1th
+ * element is the first element beyond that not in the list.  In other words,
+ * the first range is
+ *  invlist[0]..(invlist[1]-1)
+ * The other ranges follow.  Thus every element whose index is divisible by two
+ * marks the beginning of a range that is in the list, and every element not
+ * divisible by two marks the beginning of a range not in the list.  A single
+ * element inversion list that contains the single code point N generally
+ * consists of two elements
+ *  invlist[0] == N
+ *  invlist[1] == N+1
+ * (The exception is when N is the highest representable value on the
+ * machine, in which case the list containing just it would be a single
+ * element, itself.  By extension, if the last range in the list extends to
+ * infinity, then the first element of that range will be in the inversion list
+ * at a position that is divisible by two, and is the final element in the
+ * list.)
+ * Taking the complement (inverting) an inversion list is quite simple, if the
+ * first element is 0, remove it; otherwise add a 0 element at the beginning.
+ * This implementation reserves an element at the beginning of each inversion
+ * list to always contain 0; there is an additional flag in the header which
+ * indicates if the list begins at the 0, or is offset to begin at the next
+ * element.
+ *
+ * More about inversion lists can be found in "Unicode Demystified"
+ * Chapter 13 by Richard Gillam, published by Addison-Wesley.
+ * More will be coming when functionality is added later.
+ *
+ * The inversion list data structure is currently implemented as an SV pointing
+ * to an array of UVs that the SV thinks are bytes.  This allows us to have an
+ * array of UV whose memory management is automatically handled by the existing
+ * facilities for SV's.
+ *
+ * Some of the methods should always be private to the implementation, and some

+ *      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;

+ * different.  Find the "wordness" of the character just prior to this one, and
+ * compare it with the wordness of this one.  If they differ, we have a
+ * boundary.  At the beginning of the string, pretend that the previous

+ * TEST_NON_UTF8 is the macro or function to call to test if its byte input is
+ *               a word character or not.
+ * IF_SUCCESS    is code to do if it finds that we are at a boundary between
+ *               word/non-word
+ * IF_FAIL       is code to do if we aren't at a boundary between word/non-word

+
+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.

+     * the first character in <text_node> requires UTF-8 to represent, and the
+     * target string isn't in UTF-8.)
+     *
+     * If there are more than two characters that could match the beginning of
+     * <text_node>, or if more context is required to determine a match or not,
+     * it sets both *<c1p> and *<c2p> to CHRTEST_VOID.
+     *
+     * The motiviation behind this function is to allow the caller to set up
+     * tight loops for matching.  If <text_node> is of type EXACT, there is
+     * only one possible character that can match its first character, and so
+     * the situation is quite simple.  But things get much more complicated if
+     * folding is involved.  It may be that the first character of an EXACTFish
+     * node doesn't participate in any possible fold, e.g., punctuation, so it
+     * can be matched only by itself.  The vast majority of characters that are
+     * in folds match just two things, their lower and upper-case equivalents.
+     * But not all are like that; some have multiple possible matches, or match
+     * sequences of more than one character.  This function sorts all that out.
+     *
+     * Consider the patterns A*B or A*?B where A and B are arbitrary.  In a
+     * loop of trying to match A*, we know we can't exit where the thing
+     * following it isn't a B.  And something can't be a B unless it is the
+     * beginning of B.  By putting a quick test for that beginning in a tight
+     * loop, we can rule out things that can't possibly be B without having to
+     * break out of the loop, thus avoiding work.  Similarly, if A is a single
+     * character, we can make a tight loop matching A*, using the outputs of
+     * this function.
+     *
+     * If the target string to match isn't in UTF-8, and there aren't
+     * complications which require CHRTEST_VOID, *<c1p> and *<c2p> are set to
+     * the one or two possible octets (which are characters in this situation)
+     * that can match.  In all cases, if there is only one character that can
+     * match, *<c1p> and *<c2p> will be identical.
+     *
+     * If the target string is in UTF-8, the buffers pointed to by <c1_utf8>
+     * and <c2_utf8> will contain the one or two UTF-8 sequences of bytes that

+            * find the longest-matching word. Also remember the position
+            * of the shortest matching word. For example, this pattern:
+            *    1  2 3 4    5
+            *    ab|a|x|abcd|abc
+            * when matched against the string "abcde", will generate
+            * accept states for all words except 3, with the longest
+            * matching word being 4, and the shortest being 2 (with
+            * the position being after char 1 of the string).
+            *
+            * Then for each matching word, in word order (i.e. 1,2,4,5),
+            * we run the remainder of the pattern; on each try setting
+            * the current position to the character following the word,
+            * returning to try the next word on failure.
+            *
+            * We avoid having to build a list of words at runtime by
+            * using a compile-time structure, wordinfo[].prev, which
+            * gives, for each word, the previous accepting word (if any).
+            * 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 
+CO     <CO prev=NULL> <WO>

+/* About scan_data_t.
+
+  During optimisation we recurse through the regexp program performing
+  various inplace (keyhole style) optimisations. In addition study_chunk
+  and scan_commit populate this data structure with information about
+  what strings MUST appear in the pattern. We look for the longest
+  string that must appear at a fixed location, and we look for the
+  longest string that may appear at a floating location. So for instance
+  in the pattern:
+
+ /FOO[xX]A.*B[xX]BAR/
+
+  Both 'FOO' and 'A' are fixed strings. Both 'B' and 'BAR' are floating
+  strings (because they follow a .* construct). study_chunk will identify
+  both FOO and BAR as being the longest fixed and floating strings respectively.
+
+  The strings can be composites, for instance
+
+ /(f)(o)(o)/
+
+  will result in a composite fixed substring 'foo'.
+
+  For each string some basic information is maintained:
+
+  - offset or min_offset
+ This is the position the string must appear at, or not before.
+ It also implicitly (when combined with minlenp) tells us how many
+ characters must match before the string we are searching for.
+ Likewise when combined with minlenp and the length of the string it
+ tells us how many characters must appear after the string we have
+ found.
+
+  - max_offset
+ Only used for floating strings. This is the rightmost point that
+ the string can appear at. If set to SSize_t_MAX it indicates that the
+ string can occur infinitely far to the right.
+
+  - minlenp
+ A pointer to the minimum number of characters of the pattern that the
+ string was found inside. This is important as in the case of positive
+ lookahead or positive lookbehind we can have multiple patterns
+ involved. Consider
+
+ /(?=FOO).*F/
+
+ The minimum length of the pattern overall is 3, the minimum length
+ of the lookahead part is 3, but the minimum length of the part that
+ will actually match is 1. So 'FOO's minimum length is 3, but the
+ minimum length for the F is 1. This is important as the minimum length
+ is used to determine offsets in front of and behind the string being
+ looked for.  Since strings can be composites this is the length of the
+ pattern at the time it was committed with a scan_commit. Note that
+ the length is calculated by study_chunk, so that the minimum lengths
+ are not known until the full pattern has been compiled, thus the
+ pointer to the value.
+
+  - lookbehind
+
+ In the case of lookbehind the string being searched for can be
+ offset past the start point of the final matching string.
+ If this value was just blithely removed from the min_offset it would
+ invalidate some of the calculations for how many chars must match
+ before or after (as they are derived from min_offset and minlen and
+ the length of the string being searched for).
+ When the final pattern is compiled and the data is moved from the
+ scan_data_t structure into the regexp structure the information
+ about lookbehind is factored in, with the information that would
+ have been lost precalculated in the end_shift field for the
+ associated string.
+
+  The fields pos_min and pos_delta are used to store the minimum offset
+  and the delta to the maximum offset at the current point in the pattern.

+
+Inplace optimizes a sequence of 2 or more Branch-Exact nodes into a TRIE node.
+
+A trie is an N'ary tree where the branches are determined by digital
+decomposition of the key. IE, at the root node you look up the 1st character and
+follow that branch repeat until you find the end of the branches. Nodes can be
+marked as "accepting" meaning they represent a complete word. Eg:
+
+  /he|she|his|hers/
+
+would convert into the following structure. Numbers represent states, letters
+following numbers represent valid transitions on the letter from that state, if
+the number is in square brackets it represents an accepting state, otherwise it
+will be in parenthesis.
+
+ +-h->+-e->[3]-+-r->(8)-+-s->[9]
+ |    |
+ |   (2)
+ |    |
+ (1)   +-i->(6)-+-s->[7]
+ |
+ +-s->(3)-+-h->(4)-+-e->[5]
+
+ Accept Word Mapping: 3=>1 (he),5=>2 (she), 7=>3 (his), 9=>4 (hers)
+
+This shows that when matching against the string 'hers' we will begin at state 1
+read 'h' and move to state 2, read 'e' and move to state 3 which is accepting,
+then read 'r' and go to state 8 followed by 's' which takes us to state 9 which
+is also accepting. Thus we know that we can match both 'he' and 'hers' with a
+single traverse. We store a mapping from accepting to state to which word was
+matched, and then when we have multiple possibilities we try to complete the
+rest of the regex in the order in which they occured in the alternation.
+
+The only prior NFA like behaviour that would be changed by the TRIE support is
+the silent ignoring of duplicate alternations which are of the form:
+
+ / (DUPE|DUPE) X? (?{ ... }) Y /x
+
+Thus EVAL blocks following a trie may be called a different number of times with
+and without the optimisation. With the optimisations dupes will be silently
+ignored. This inconsistent behaviour of EVAL type nodes is well established as
+the following demonstrates:
+
+ 'words'=~/(word|word|word)(?{ print $1 })[xyz]/
+
+which prints out 'word' three times, but
+
+ 'words'=~/(word|word|word)(?{ print $1 })S/
+
+which doesnt print it out at all. This is due to other optimisations kicking in.
+
+Example of what happens on a structural level:
+
+The regexp /(ac|ad|ab)+/ will produce the following debug output:
+
+   1: CURLYM[1] {1,32767}(18)
+   5:   BRANCH(8)
+   6:     EXACT <ac>(16)
+   8:   BRANCH(11)
+   9:     EXACT <ad>(16)
+  11:   BRANCH(14)
+  12:     EXACT <ab>(16)
+  16:   SUCCEED(0)
+  17:   NOTHING(18)
+  18: END(0)
+
+This would be optimizable with startbranch=5, first=5, last=16, tail=16
+and should turn into:
+
+   1: CURLYM[1] {1,32767}(18)
+   5:   TRIE(16)
+  [Words:3 Chars Stored:6 Unique Chars:4 States:5 NCP:1]
+  <ac>
+  <ad>
+  <ab>
+  16:   SUCCEED(0)
+  17:   NOTHING(18)
+  18: END(0)
+
+Cases where tail != last would be like /(?foo|bar)baz/:
+
+   1: BRANCH(4)
+   2:   EXACT <foo>(8)
+   4: BRANCH(7)
+   5:   EXACT <bar>(8)
+   7: TAIL(8)
+   8: EXACT <baz>(10)
+  10: END(0)
+
+which would be optimizable with startbranch=1, first=1, last=7, tail=8
+and would end up looking like:
+
+ 1: TRIE(8)
+ [Words:2 Chars Stored:6 Unique Chars:5 States:7 NCP:1]
+  <foo>
+  <bar>
+   7: TAIL(8)

+  be mostly 0/FAIL transitions or to put it another way mostly empty.
+  (Note that leaf nodes will not contain any transitions.)
+
+  This algorithm compresses the tables by eliminating most such
+  transitions, at the cost of a modest bit of extra work during lookup:
+
+  - Each states[] entry contains a .base field which indicates the
+  index in the state[] array wheres its transition data is stored.
+
+  - If .base is 0 there are no valid transitions from that node.
+
+  - If .base is nonzero then charid is added to it to find an entry in
+  the trans array.
+
+  -If trans[states[state].base+charid].check!=state then the
+  transition is taken to be a 0/Fail transition. Thus if there are fail
+  transitions at the front of the node then the .base offset will point
+  somewhere inside the previous nodes data (or maybe even into a node
+  even earlier), but the .check field determines if the transition is
+  valid.
+
+  XXX - wrong maybe?
+  The following process inplace converts the table to the compressed
+  table: We first do not compress the root node 1,and mark all its
+  .check pointers as 1 and set its .base pointer as 1 as well. This
+  allows us to do a DFA construction from the compressed table later,
+  and ensures that any .base pointers we calculate later are greater
+  than 0.
+
+  - We set 'pos' to indicate the first entry of the second node.
+
+  - We then iterate over the columns of the node, finding the first and
+  last used entry at l and m. We then copy l..m into pos..(pos+m-l),
+  and set the .check pointers accordingly, and advance pos
+  appropriately and repreat for the next node. Note that when we copy
+  the next pointers we have to convert them from the original
+  NODEIDX form to NODENUM form as the former is not valid post
+  compression.
+
+  - If a node has no transitions used we mark its base as 0 and do not
+  advance the pos pointer.
+
+  - If a node only has one transition we use a second pointer into the
+  structure to fill in allocated fail transitions from other states.
+  This pointer is independent of the main pointer and scans forward
+  looking for null transitions that are allocated to a state. When it
+  finds one it writes the single transition into the "hole".  If the
+  pointer doesnt find one the single transition is appended as normal.
+
+  - Once compressed we can Renew/realloc the structures to release the
+  excess space.
+
+  See "Table-Compression Methods" in sec 3.9 of the Red Dragon,
+  specifically Fig 3.47 and the associated pseudocode.

+   proper suffix of the current state's 'word' that is also a proper prefix of

+   default fail state. This allows the DFA not to have to restart after its
+   tried and failed a word at a given point, it simply continues as though it
+   had been matching the other word in the first place.
+   Consider
+ 'abcdgu'=~/abcdefg|cdgu/
+   When we get to 'd' we are still matching the first word, we would encounter
+   'g' which would fail, which would bring us to the state representing 'd' in

+ * And *unfolded_multi_char is set to indicate whether or not the node contains
+ * an unfolded multi-char fold.  This happens when whether the fold is valid or
+ * not won't be known until runtime; namely for EXACTF nodes that contain LATIN
+ * SMALL LETTER SHARP S, as only if the target string being matched against
+ * turns out to be UTF-8 is that fold valid; and also for EXACTFL nodes whose
+ * folding rules depend on the locale in force at runtime.  (Multi-char folds
+ * whose components are all above the Latin1 range are not run-time locale
+ * dependent, and have already been folded by the time this function is
+ * called.)
+ *
+ * This is as good a place as any to discuss the design of handling these
+ * multi-character fold sequences.  It's been wrong in Perl for a very long
+ * time.  There are three code points in Unicode whose multi-character folds
+ * were long ago discovered to mess things up.  The previous designs for
+ * dealing with these involved assigning a special node for them.  This
+ * approach doesn't always work, as evidenced by this example:
+ *      "\xDFs" =~ /s\xDF/ui    # Used to fail before these patches
+ * Both sides fold to "sss", but if the pattern is parsed to create a node that
+ * would match just the \xDF, it won't be able to handle the case where a
+ * successful match would have to cross the node's boundary.  The new approach
+ * that hopefully generally solves the problem generates an EXACTFU_SS node
+ * that is "sss" in this case.
+ *
+ * It turns out that there are problems with all multi-character folds, and not
+ * just these three.  Now the code is general, for all such cases.  The
+ * approach taken is:
+ * 1)   This routine examines each EXACTFish node that could contain multi-
+ *      character folded sequences.  Since a single character can fold into
+ *      such a sequence, the minimum match length for this node is less than
+ *      the number of characters in the node.  This routine returns in
+ *      *min_subtract how many characters to subtract from the the actual
+ *      length of the string to get a real minimum match length; it is 0 if
+ *      there are no multi-char foldeds.  This delta is used by the caller to
+ *      adjust the min length of the match, and the delta between min and max,
+ *      so that the optimizer doesn't reject these possibilities based on size
+ *      constraints.
+ * 2)   For the sequence involving the Sharp s (\xDF), the node type EXACTFU_SS
+ *      is used for an EXACTFU node that contains at least one "ss" sequence in
+ *      it.  For non-UTF-8 patterns and strings, this is the only case where
+ *      there is a possible fold length change.  That means that a regular
+ *      EXACTFU node without UTF-8 involvement doesn't have to concern itself
+ *      with length changes, and so can be processed faster.  regexec.c takes
+ *      advantage of this.  Generally, an EXACTFish node that is in UTF-8 is
+ *      pre-folded by regcomp.c (except EXACTFL, some of whose folds aren't
+ *      known until runtime).  This saves effort in regex matching.  However,
+ *      the pre-folding isn't done for non-UTF8 patterns because the fold of
+ *      the MICRO SIGN requires UTF-8, and we don't want to slow things down by
+ *      forcing the pattern into UTF8 unless necessary.  Also what EXACTF (and,
+ *      again, EXACTFL) nodes fold to isn't known until runtime.  The fold
+ *      possibilities for the non-UTF8 patterns are quite simple, except for
+ *      the sharp s.  All the ones that don't involve a UTF-8 target string are
+ *      members of a fold-pair, and arrays are set up for all of them so that
+ *      the other member of the pair can be found quickly.  Code elsewhere in
+ *      this file makes sure that in EXACTFU nodes, the sharp s gets folded to
+ *      'ss', even if the pattern isn't UTF-8.  This avoids the issues
+ *      described in the next item.
+ * 3)   A problem remains for unfolded multi-char folds. (These occur when the
+ *      validity of the fold won't be known until runtime, and so must remain
+ *      unfolded for now.  This happens for the sharp s in EXACTF and EXACTFA
+ *      nodes when the pattern isn't in UTF-8.  (Note, BTW, that there cannot
+ *      be an EXACTF node with a UTF-8 pattern.)  They also occur for various
+ *      folds in EXACTFL nodes, regardless of the UTF-ness of the pattern.)
+ *      The reason this is a problem is that the optimizer part of regexec.c
+ *      (probably unwittingly, in Perl_regexec_flags()) makes an assumption
+ *      that a character in the pattern corresponds to at most a single
+ *      character in the target string.  (And I do mean character, and not byte
+ *      here, unlike other parts of the documentation that have never been
+ *      updated to account for multibyte Unicode.)  sharp s in EXACTF and
+ *      EXACTFL nodes can match the two character string 'ss'; in EXACTFA nodes
+ *      it can match "\x{17F}\x{17F}".  These, along with other ones in EXACTFL
+ *      nodes, violate the assumption, and they are the only instances where it
+ *      is violated.  I'm reluctant to try to change the assumption, as the
+ *      code involved is impenetrable to me (khw), so instead the code here
+ *      punts.  This routine examines EXACTFL nodes, and (when the pattern
+ *      isn't UTF-8) EXACTF and EXACTFA for such unfolded folds, and returns a
+ *      boolean indicating whether or not the node contains such a fold.  When
+ *      it is true, the caller sets a flag that later causes the optimizer in
+ *      this file to not set values for the floating and fixed string lengths,
+ *      and thus avoids the optimizer code in regexec.c that makes the invalid
+ *      assumption.  Thus, there is no optimization based on string lengths for
+ *      EXACTFL nodes that contain these few folds, nor for non-UTF8-pattern
+ *      EXACTF and EXACTFA nodes that contain the sharp s.  (The reason the
+ *      assumption is wrong only in these cases is that all other non-UTF-8
+ *      folds are 1-1; and, for UTF-8 patterns, we pre-fold all other folds to
+ *      their expanded versions.  (Again, we can't prefold sharp s to 'ss' in
+ *      EXACTF nodes because we don't know at compile time if it actually
+ *      matches 'ss' or not.  For EXACTF nodes it will match iff the target
+ *      string is in UTF-8.  This is in contrast to EXACTFU nodes, where it
+ *      always matches; and EXACTFA where it never does.  In an EXACTFA node in
+ *      a UTF-8 pattern, sharp s is folded to "\x{17F}\x{17F}, avoiding the
+ *      problem; but in a non-UTF8 pattern, folding it to that above-Latin1
+ *      string would require the pattern to be forced into UTF-8, the overhead
+ *      of which we want to avoid.  Similarly the unfolded multi-char folds in
+ *      EXACTFL nodes will match iff the locale at the time of match is a UTF-8
+ *      locale.)
+ *
+ *      Similarly, the code that generates tries doesn't currently handle
+ *      not-already-folded multi-char folds, and it looks like a pain to change
+ *      that.  Therefore, trie generation of EXACTFA nodes with the sharp s
+ *      doesn't work.  Instead, such an EXACTFA is turned into a new regnode,
+ *      EXACTFA_NO_TRIE, which the trie code knows not to handle.  Most people
+ *      using /iaa matching will be doing so almost entirely with ASCII
+ *      strings, so this should rarely be encountered in practice */

+ * An inversion list for Unicode is an array of code points, sorted by ordinal
+ * number.  The zeroth element is the first code point in the list.  The 1th
+ * element is the first element beyond that not in the list.  In other words,
+ * the first range is
+ *  invlist[0]..(invlist[1]-1)
+ * The other ranges follow.  Thus every element whose index is divisible by two
+ * marks the beginning of a range that is in the list, and every element not
+ * divisible by two marks the beginning of a range not in the list.  A single
+ * element inversion list that contains the single code point N generally
+ * consists of two elements
+ *  invlist[0] == N
+ *  invlist[1] == N+1
+ * (The exception is when N is the highest representable value on the
+ * machine, in which case the list containing just it would be a single
+ * element, itself.  By extension, if the last range in the list extends to
+ * infinity, then the first element of that range will be in the inversion list
+ * at a position that is divisible by two, and is the final element in the
+ * list.)
+ * Taking the complement (inverting) an inversion list is quite simple, if the
+ * first element is 0, remove it; otherwise add a 0 element at the beginning.
+ * This implementation reserves an element at the beginning of each inversion
+ * list to always contain 0; there is an additional flag in the header which
+ * indicates if the list begins at the 0, or is offset to begin at the next
+ * element.
+ *
+ * More about inversion lists can be found in "Unicode Demystified"
+ * Chapter 13 by Richard Gillam, published by Addison-Wesley.
+ * More will be coming when functionality is added later.
+ *
+ * The inversion list data structure is currently implemented as an SV pointing
+ * to an array of UVs that the SV thinks are bytes.  This allows us to have an
+ * array of UV whose memory management is automatically handled by the existing
+ * facilities for SV's.
+ *

+ *      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,

+ * TEST_NON_UTF8 is the macro or function to call to test if its byte input is

+
+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.

+ * the first character of the passed-in EXACTish node <text_node>, and if
+ * so, returns them in the passed-in pointers.
+ *
+ * If it determines that no possible character in the target string can
+ * match, it returns FALSE; otherwise TRUE.  (The FALSE situation occurs if
+ * the first character in <text_node> requires UTF-8 to represent, and the
+ * target string isn't in UTF-8.)
+ *
+ * If there are more than two characters that could match the beginning of
+ * <text_node>, or if more context is required to determine a match or not,
+ * it sets both *<c1p> and *<c2p> to CHRTEST_VOID.
+ *
+ * The motiviation behind this function is to allow the caller to set up
+ * tight loops for matching.  If <text_node> is of type EXACT, there is
+ * only one possible character that can match its first character, and so
+ * the situation is quite simple.  But things get much more complicated if
+ * folding is involved.  It may be that the first character of an EXACTFish
+ * node doesn't participate in any possible fold, e.g., punctuation, so it
+ * can be matched only by itself.  The vast majority of characters that are
+ * in folds match just two things, their lower and upper-case equivalents.
+ * But not all are like that; some have multiple possible matches, or match
+ * sequences of more than one character.  This function sorts all that out.
+ *
+ * Consider the patterns A*B or A*?B where A and B are arbitrary.  In a
+ * loop of trying to match A*, we know we can't exit where the thing
+ * following it isn't a B.  And something can't be a B unless it is the
+ * beginning of B.  By putting a quick test for that beginning in a tight
+ * loop, we can rule out things that can't possibly be B without having to
+ * break out of the loop, thus avoiding work.  Similarly, if A is a single
+ * character, we can make a tight loop matching A*, using the outputs of
+ * this function.
+ *
+ * If the target string to match isn't in UTF-8, and there aren't
+ * complications which require CHRTEST_VOID, *<c1p> and *<c2p> are set to
+ * the one or two possible octets (which are characters in this situation)
+ * that can match.  In all cases, if there is only one character that can
+ * match, *<c1p> and *<c2p> will be identical.
+ *
+ * If the target string is in UTF-8, the buffers pointed to by <c1_utf8>
+ * and <c2_utf8> will contain the one or two UTF-8 sequences of bytes that
+ * can match the beginning of <text_node>.  They should be declared with at
+ * least length UTF8_MAXBYTES+1.  (If the target string isn't in UTF-8, it is
+ * undefined what these contain.)  If one or both of the buffers are
+ * invariant under UTF-8, *<c1p>, and *<c2p> will also be set to the
+ * corresponding invariant.  If variant, the corresponding *<c1p> and/or
+ * *<c2p> will be set to a negative number(s) that shouldn't match any code

+   * find the longest-matching word. Also remember the position
+   * of the shortest matching word. For example, this pattern:
+   *    1  2 3 4    5
+   *    ab|a|x|abcd|abc
+   * when matched against the string "abcde", will generate
+   * accept states for all words except 3, with the longest
+   * matching word being 4, and the shortest being 2 (with
+   * the position being after char 1 of the string).
+   *
+   * Then for each matching word, in word order (i.e. 1,2,4,5),
+   * we run the remainder of the pattern; on each try setting
+   * the current position to the character following the word,
+   * returning to try the next word on failure.
+   *
+   * We avoid having to build a list of words at runtime by
+   * using a compile-time structure, wordinfo[].prev, which
+   * gives, for each word, the previous accepting word (if any).
+   * 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
