 *
 *   rx:     the regex to match against
 *   sv:     the SV being matched: only used for utf8 flag; the string
 *           itself is accessed via the pointers below. Note that on
 *           something like an overloaded SV, SvPOK(sv) may be false
 *           and the string pointers may point to something unrelated to
 *           the SV itself.
 *   strbeg: real beginning of string
 *   strpos: the point in the string at which to begin matching
 *   strend: pointer to the byte following the last char of the string
 *   flags   currently unused; set to 0
 *   data:   currently unused; set to NULL
 *
 * The basic idea of re_intuit_start() is to use some known information
 * about the pattern, namely:
 *
 *   a) the longest known anchored substring (i.e. one that's at a
 *      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.

/* The three macros below are slightly different versions of the same logic.
 *
 * The first is for /a and /aa when the target string is UTF-8.  This can only
 * match ascii, but it must advance based on UTF-8.   The other two handle the
 * non-UTF-8 and the more generic UTF-8 cases.   In all three, we are looking
 * for the boundary (or non-boundary) between a word and non-word character.
 * The utf8 and non-utf8 cases have the same logic, but the details must be
 * 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
 * character was a new-line.
 *
 * All these macros uncleanly have side-effects with each other and outside
 * variables.  So far it's been too much trouble to clean-up
 *
 * 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
 *
 * Exactly one of the two IF_FOO parameters is a no-op, depending on whether we
 * are looking for a boundary or for a non-boundary.  If we are looking for a
 * boundary, we want IF_FAIL to be the no-op, and for IF_SUCCESS to go out and
 * see if this tentative match actually works, and if so, to quit the loop
 * here.  And vice-versa if we are looking for a non-boundary.
 *
 * 'tmp' below in the next three macros in the REXEC_FBC_SCAN and
 * REXEC_FBC_UTF8_SCAN loops is a loop invariant, a bool giving the return of
 * TEST_NON_UTF8(s-1).  To see this, note that that's what it is defined to be
 * at entry to the loop, and to get to the IF_FAIL branch, tmp must equal
 * TEST_NON_UTF8(s), and in the opposite branch, IF_SUCCESS, tmp is that
 * complement.  But in that branch we complement tmp, meaning that at the
 * bottom of the loop tmp is always going to be equal to TEST_NON_UTF8(s),
 * which means at the top of the loop in the next iteration, it is
 * TEST_NON_UTF8(s-1) */

/*

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,

     * 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
     * point (unless inappropriately coerced to unsigned).   *<c1p> will equal
     * *<c2p> if and only if <c1_utf8> and <c2_utf8> are the same. */

	     * At the beginning, run though all the states, and
	     * 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.

                 * push a CXt_SUB context, then pop it on return from
                 * that code block. This causes a bit of an issue in that

                 * popping the single SUB context as we backtrack etc.
                 * So instead, we push a single context the first time
                 * we need, it, then hang onto it until the end of this
                 * function. Whenever we encounter a new code block, we
                 * update the CV etc if that's changed. During the times
                 * in this function where we're not executing a code
                 * block, having the SUB context still there is a bit
                 * naughty - but we hope that no-one notices.

                 * croak, popping the context stack will ensure that
                 * *everything* SAVEd by this function is undone and then

/*******************************************************************

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>
NULL

             * make a note that this particular WHILEM op was at string
             * position 47 (say) when the rest of pattern failed. Then, if
             * we ever find ourselves back at that WHILEM, and at string
             * position 47 again, we can just fail immediately rather than
             * running the rest of the pattern again.
             *
             * This is very handy when patterns start to go
             * 'super-linear', like in (a+)*(a+)*(a+)*, where you end up
             * with a combinatorial explosion of backtracking.
             *
             * The cache is implemented as a bit array, with one bit per
             * string byte position per WHILEM op (up to 16) - so its
             * between 0.25 and 2x the string size.
             *
             * To avoid allocating a poscache buffer every time, we do an
             * initially countdown; only after we have  executed a WHILEM
             * op (string-length x #WHILEMs) times do we allocate the
             * cache.
             *
             * The top 4 bits of scan->flags byte say how many different
             * relevant CURLLYX/WHILEM op pairs there are, while the
             * bottom 4-bits is the identifying index number of this
             * WHILEM.
