               states "fail state", and try the current char again, a process

/*

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

             * 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.
