Creates and initialises a new lexer/parser state object, supplying
a context in which to lex and parse from a new source of Perl code.
A pointer to the new state object is placed in L</PL_parser>.  An entry
is made on the save stack so that upon unwinding the new state object

Nothing else need be done to clean up the parsing context.

The code to be parsed comes from I<line> and I<rsfp>.  I<line>, if
non-null, provides a string (in SV form) containing code to be parsed.
A copy of the string is made, so subsequent modification of I<line>
does not affect parsing.  I<rsfp>, if non-null, provides an input stream
from which code will be read to be parsed.  If both are non-null, the
code in I<line> comes first and must consist of complete lines of input,
and I<rsfp> supplies the remainder of the source.

The I<flags> parameter is reserved for future use.  Currently it is only
used by perl internally, so extensions should always pass zero.

/*
=for apidoc AmxU|SV *|PL_parser-E<gt>linestr

Buffer scalar containing the chunk currently under consideration of the
text currently being lexed.  This is always a plain string scalar (for
which C<SvPOK> is true).  It is not intended to be used as a scalar by
normal scalar means; instead refer to the buffer directly by the pointer
variables described below.

The lexer maintains various C<char*> pointers to things in the
C<PL_parser-E<gt>linestr> buffer.  If C<PL_parser-E<gt>linestr> is ever
reallocated, all of these pointers must be updated.  Don't attempt to
do this manually, but rather use L</lex_grow_linestr> if you need to
reallocate the buffer.

The content of the text chunk in the buffer is commonly exactly one
complete line of input, up to and including a newline terminator,
but there are situations where it is otherwise.  The octets of the
buffer may be intended to be interpreted as either UTF-8 or Latin-1.
The function L</lex_bufutf8> tells you which.  Do not use the C<SvUTF8>
flag on this scalar, which may disagree with it.

For direct examination of the buffer, the variable
L</PL_parser-E<gt>bufend> points to the end of the buffer.  The current
lexing position is pointed to by L</PL_parser-E<gt>bufptr>.  Direct use
of these pointers is usually preferable to examination of the scalar
through normal scalar means.

=for apidoc AmxU|char *|PL_parser-E<gt>bufend

Direct pointer to the end of the chunk of text currently being lexed, the
end of the lexer buffer.  This is equal to C<SvPVX(PL_parser-E<gt>linestr)
+ SvCUR(PL_parser-E<gt>linestr)>.  A C<NUL> character (zero octet) is
always located at the end of the buffer, and does not count as part of
the buffer's contents.

=for apidoc AmxU|char *|PL_parser-E<gt>bufptr

Points to the current position of lexing inside the lexer buffer.
Characters around this point may be freely examined, within
the range delimited by C<SvPVX(L</PL_parser-E<gt>linestr>)> and
L</PL_parser-E<gt>bufend>.  The octets of the buffer may be intended to be
interpreted as either UTF-8 or Latin-1, as indicated by L</lex_bufutf8>.

Lexing code (whether in the Perl core or not) moves this pointer past
the characters that it consumes.  It is also expected to perform some
bookkeeping whenever a newline character is consumed.  This movement
can be more conveniently performed by the function L</lex_read_to>,
which handles newlines appropriately.

Interpretation of the buffer's octets can be abstracted out by
using the slightly higher-level functions L</lex_peek_unichar> and
L</lex_read_unichar>.

=for apidoc AmxU|char *|PL_parser-E<gt>linestart

Points to the start of the current line inside the lexer buffer.
This is useful for indicating at which column an error occurred, and
not much else.  This must be updated by any lexing code that consumes
a newline; the function L</lex_read_to> handles this detail.

/*
=for apidoc Amx|bool|lex_bufutf8

Indicates whether the octets in the lexer buffer
(L</PL_parser-E<gt>linestr>) should be interpreted as the UTF-8 encoding
of Unicode characters.  If not, they should be interpreted as Latin-1
characters.  This is analogous to the C<SvUTF8> flag for scalars.

In UTF-8 mode, it is not guaranteed that the lexer buffer actually
contains valid UTF-8.  Lexing code must be robust in the face of invalid
encoding.

The actual C<SvUTF8> flag of the L</PL_parser-E<gt>linestr> scalar
is significant, but not the whole story regarding the input character
encoding.  Normally, when a file is being read, the scalar contains octets
and its C<SvUTF8> flag is off, but the octets should be interpreted as
UTF-8 if the C<use utf8> pragma is in effect.  During a string eval,
however, the scalar may have the C<SvUTF8> flag on, and in this case its
octets should be interpreted as UTF-8 unless the C<use bytes> pragma
is in effect.  This logic may change in the future; use this function
instead of implementing the logic yourself.

usual, but not necessary, for lexing to have consumed the entirety of

If L</PL_parser-E<gt>bufptr> is pointing to the very end of the current

read in.  If I<flags> includes C<LEX_KEEP_PREVIOUS>, the current chunk

/*
  scan_const

  Extracts the next constant part of a pattern, double-quoted string,
  or transliteration.  This is terrifying code.

  For example, in parsing the double-quoted string "ab\x63$d", it would
  stop at the '$' and return an OP_CONST containing 'abc'.

  It looks at PL_lex_inwhat and PL_lex_inpat to find out whether it's
  processing a pattern (PL_lex_inpat is true), a transliteration
  (PL_lex_inwhat == OP_TRANS is true), or a double-quoted string.

  Returns a pointer to the character scanned up to. If this is
  advanced from the start pointer supplied (i.e. if anything was
  successfully parsed), will leave an OP_CONST for the substring scanned
  in pl_yylval. Caller must intuit reason for not parsing further
  by looking at the next characters herself.

  In patterns:
    expand:
      \N{FOO}  => \N{U+hex_for_character_FOO}
      (if FOO expands to multiple characters, expands to \N{U+xx.XX.yy ...})

    pass through:
	all other \-char, including \N and \N{ apart from \N{ABC}

    stops on:
	@ and $ where it appears to be a var, but not for $ as tail anchor
        \l \L \u \U \Q \E
	(?{  or  (??{


  In transliterations:
    characters are VERY literal, except for - not at the start or end
    of the string, which indicates a range. If the range is in bytes,
    scan_const expands the range to the full set of intermediate
    characters. If the range is in utf8, the hyphen is replaced with
    a certain range mark which will be handled by pmtrans() in op.c.

  In double-quoted strings:
    backslashes:
      double-quoted style: \r and \n
      constants: \x31, etc.
      deprecated backrefs: \1 (in substitution replacements)
      case and quoting: \U \Q \E
    stops on @ and $

  scan_const does *not* construct ops to handle interpolated strings.
  It stops processing as soon as it finds an embedded $ or @ variable
  and leaves it to the caller to work out what's going on.

  embedded arrays (whether in pattern or not) could be:
      @foo, @::foo, @'foo, @{foo}, @$foo, @+, @-.

  $ in double-quoted strings must be the symbol of an embedded scalar.

  $ in pattern could be $foo or could be tail anchor.  Assumption:
  it's a tail anchor if $ is the last thing in the string, or if it's
  followed by one of "()| \r\n\t"

  \1 (backreferences) are turned into $1 in substitutions

  The structure of the code is
      while (there's a character to process) {
	  handle transliteration ranges
	  skip regexp comments /(?#comment)/ and codes /(?{code})/
	  skip #-initiated comments in //x patterns
	  check for embedded arrays
	  check for embedded scalars
	  if (backslash) {
	      deprecate \1 in substitution replacements
	      handle string-changing backslashes \l \U \Q \E, etc.
	      switch (what was escaped) {
		  handle \- in a transliteration (becomes a literal -)
		  if a pattern and not \N{, go treat as regular character
		  handle \132 (octal characters)
		  handle \x15 and \x{1234} (hex characters)
		  handle \N{name} (named characters, also \N{3,5} in a pattern)
		  handle \cV (control characters)
		  handle printf-style backslashes (\f, \r, \n, etc)
	      } (end switch)
	      continue
	  } (end if backslash)
          handle regular character
    } (end while character to read)
