                   to include special handling for long "unknown char" 
                   sequences. The basic idea being that we use AC as long
                   as we are dealing with a possible matching char, when
                   we encounter an unknown char (and we have not encountered
                   an accepting state) we scan forward until we find a legal 
                   starting char. 
                   AC matching is basically that of trie matching, except
                   that when we encounter a failing transition, we fall back
                   to the current states "fail state", and try the current char 
                   again, a process we repeat until we reach the root state, 
                   state 1, or a legal transition. If we fail on the root state 
                   then we can either terminate if we have reached an accepting 
                   state previously, or restart the entire process from the beginning 
                   if we have not.

/*

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);
        // 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);
        PUSH_YES_STATE_GOTO(resume_state, node);

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.

             *    ab|a|x|abcd|abc
             * when matched against the string "abcde", will generate

             * matching word being 4, and the shortest being 1 (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.

              extended Grapheme Cluster is:

               CR LF
               | Prepend* Begin Extend*
               | .

               Begin is (Hangul-syllable | ! Control)
               Extend is (Grapheme_Extend | Spacing_Mark)
               Control is [ GCB_Control CR LF ]

               The discussion below shows how the code for CLUMP is derived
               from this regex.  Note that most of these concepts are from
               property values of the Grapheme Cluster Boundary (GCB) property.
               No code point can have multiple property values for a given
               property.  Thus a code point in Prepend can't be in Control, but
               it must be in !Control.  This is why Control above includes
               GCB_Control plus CR plus LF.  The latter two are used in the GCB
               property separately, and so can't be in GCB_Control, even though
               they logically are controls.  Control is not the same as gc=cc,
               but includes format and other characters as well.

               The Unicode definition of Hangul-syllable is:
                   L+
                   | (L* ( ( V | LV ) V* | LVT ) T*)
                   | T+ 
                  )
               Each of these is a value for the GCB property, and hence must be
               disjoint, so the order they are tested is immaterial, so the
               above can safely be changed to
                   T+
                   | L+
                   | (L* ( LVT | ( V | LV ) V*) T*)

               The last two terms can be combined like this:
                   L* ( L
                        | (( LVT | ( V | LV ) V*) T*))

               And refactored into this:
                   L* (L | LVT T* | V  V* T* | LV  V* T*)

               That means that if we have seen any L's at all we can quit
               there, but if the next character is an LVT, a V, or an LV we
               should keep going.

               There is a subtlety with Prepend* which showed up in testing.
               Note that the Begin, and only the Begin is required in:
                | Prepend* Begin Extend*
               Also, Begin contains '! Control'.  A Prepend must be a
               '!  Control', which means it must also be a Begin.  What it
               comes down to is that if we match Prepend* and then find no
               suitable Begin afterwards, that if we backtrack the last
               Prepend, that one will be a suitable Begin.

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

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
