/* This file contains functions for compiling a regular expression.  See
 * also regexec.c which funnily enough, contains functions for executing
 * a regular expression.
 *
 * This file is also copied at build time to ext/re/re_comp.c, where
 * it's built with -DPERL_EXT_RE_BUILD -DPERL_EXT_RE_DEBUG -DPERL_EXT.
 * This causes the main functions to be compiled under new names and with
 * debugging support added, which makes "use re 'debug'" work.
 */

/* NOTE: this is derived from Henry Spencer's regexp code, and should not
 * confused with the original package (see point 3 below).  Thanks, Henry!
 */

/* Additional note: this code is very heavily munged from Henry's version
 * in places.  In some spots I've traded clarity for efficiency, so don't
 * blame Henry for some of the lack of readability.
 */

/* The names of the functions have been changed from regcomp and
 * regexec to pregcomp and pregexec in order to avoid conflicts
 * with the POSIX routines of the same names.

/* 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.

/* The code in this file in places uses one level of recursion with parsing
 * rebased to an alternate string constructed by us in memory.  This can take
 * the form of something that is completely different from the input, or
 * something that uses the input as part of the alternate.  In the first case,
 * there should be no possibility of an error, as we are in complete control of
 * the alternate string.  But in the second case we don't control the input
 * portion, so there may be errors in that.  Here's an example:
 *      /[abc\x{DF}def]/ui
 * is handled specially because \x{df} folds to a sequence of more than one
 * character, 'ss'.  What is done is to create and parse an alternate string,
 * which looks like this:
 *      /(?:\x{DF}|[abc\x{DF}def])/ui
 * where it uses the input unchanged in the middle of something it constructs,
 * which is a branch for the DF outside the character class, and clustering
 * parens around the whole thing. (It knows enough to skip the DF inside the
 * class while in this substitute parse.) 'abc' and 'def' may have errors that
 * need to be reported.  The general situation looks like this:
 *
 *              sI                       tI               xI       eI

 *
 * The input string sI..eI is the input pattern.  The string sC..EC is the
 * constructed substitute parse string.  The portions sC..tC and eC..EC are
 * constructed by us.  The portion tC..eC is an exact duplicate of the input
 * pattern tI..eI.  In the diagram, these are vertically aligned.  Suppose that
 * while parsing, we find an error at xC.  We want to display a message showing
 * the real input string.  Thus we need to find the point xI in it which
 * corresponds to xC.  xC >= tC, since the portion of the string sC..tC has
 * been constructed by us, and so shouldn't have errors.  We get:
 *
 *      xI = sI + (tI - sI) + (xC - tC)
 *
 * and, the offset into sI is:
 *
 *      (xI - sI) = (tI - sI) + (xC - tC)
 *
 * When the substitute is constructed, we save (tI -sI) as RExC_precomp_adj,
 * and we save tC as RExC_adjusted_start.
 *
 * During normal processing of the input pattern, everything points to that,
 * with RExC_precomp_adj set to 0, and RExC_adjusted_start set to sI.

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 occurred 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)

    d = uvchr_to_utf8_flags(d, uv, 0);

is the recommended Unicode-aware way of saying

    *(d++) = uv;

       We first traverse the branches and scan each word to determine if it
       contains widechars, and how many unique chars there are, this is
       important as we have to build a table with at least as many columns as we
       have unique chars.

       We use an array of integers to represent the character codes 0..255
       (trie->charmap) and we use a an HV* to store Unicode characters. We use
       the native representation of the character value as the key and IV's for
       the coded index.

       *TODO* If we keep track of how many times each character is used we can
       remap the columns so that the table compression later on is more
       efficient in terms of memory by ensuring the most common value is in the
       middle and the least common are on the outside.  IMO this would be better
       than a most to least common mapping as theres a decent chance the most
       common letter will share a node with the least common, meaning the node
       will not be compressible. With a middle is most common approach the worst
       case is when we have the least common nodes twice.

           Second Pass -- Flat Table Representation.

           we dont use the 0 slot of either trans[] or states[] so we add 1 to
           each.  We know that we will need Charcount+1 trans at most to store
           the data (one row per char at worst case) So we preallocate both
           structures assuming worst case.

           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
           to make compression both faster and easier by keeping track of how
           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)
           if there are 2 entrys per node. eg:

             A B       A B
          1. 2 4    1. 3 7
          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
           also have to deal with the states array which is indexed by nodenum
           we have to use TRIE_NODENUM() to convert.

           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.

   This is basically the Aho-Corasick algorithm. Its from exercise 3.31 and

   Ullman 1985/88
   ISBN 0-201-10088-6

   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'.

/* The below joins as many adjacent EXACTish nodes as possible into a single
 * one.  The regop may be changed if the node(s) contain certain sequences that
 * require special handling.  The joining is only done if:
 * 1) there is room in the current conglomerated node to entirely contain the
 *    next one.
 * 2) they are the exact same node type
 *
 * The adjacent nodes actually may be separated by NOTHING-kind nodes, and
 * these get optimized out
 *
 * XXX khw thinks this should be enhanced to fill EXACT (at least) nodes as full
 * as possible, even if that means splitting an existing node so that its first
 * part is moved to the preceeding node.  This would maximise the efficiency of
 * memEQ during matching.  Elsewhere in this file, khw proposes splitting
 * EXACTFish nodes into portions that don't change under folding vs those that
 * do.  Those portions that don't change may be the only things in the pattern that
 * could be used to find fixed and floating strings.
 *
 * If a node is to match under /i (folded), the number of characters it matches
 * can be different than its character length if it contains a multi-character
 * fold.  *min_subtract is set to the total delta number of characters of the
 * input nodes.
 *
 * 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 */

                   Assuming this was/is a branch we are dealing with: 'scan'
                   now points at the item that follows the branch sequence,
                   whatever it is. We now start at the beginning of the
                   sequence and look for subsequences of

                   BRANCH->EXACT=>x1
                   BRANCH->EXACT=>x2
                   tail

                   which would be constructed from a pattern like
                   /A|LIST|OF|WORDS/

                   If we can find such a subsequence we need to turn the first
                   element into a trie and then add the subsequent branch exact
                   strings to the trie.

                   We have two cases

                     1. patterns where the whole set of branches can be
                        converted.

                     2. patterns where only a subset can be converted.

                   In case 1 we can replace the whole set with a single regop
                   for the trie. In case 2 we need to keep the start and end
                   branches so

                     'BRANCH EXACT; BRANCH EXACT; BRANCH X'
                     becomes BRANCH TRIE; BRANCH X;

                  There is an additional case, that being where there is a
                  common prefix, which gets split out into an EXACT like node
                  preceding the TRIE node.

                  If x(1..n)==tail then we can do a simple trie, if not we make
                  a "jump" trie, such that when we match the appropriate word
                  we "jump" to the appropriate tail node. Essentially we turn
                  a nested if into a case structure of sorts.

                                cur represents each branch,
                                noper is the first thing to be matched as part
                                      of that branch
                                noper_next is the regnext() of that node.

                            We normally handle a case like this
                            /FOO[xyz]|BAR[pqr]/ via a "jump trie" but we also
                            support building with NOJUMPTRIE, which restricts
                            the trie logic to structures like /FOO|BAR/.

                            If noper is a trieable nodetype then the branch is
                            a possible optimization target. If we are building
                            under NOJUMPTRIE then we require that noper_next is
                            the same as scan (our current position in the regex
                            program).

                            Once we have two or more consecutive such branches
                            we can create a trie of the EXACT's contents and
                            stitch it in place into the program.

                            If the sequence represents all of the branches in
                            the alternation we replace the entire thing with a
                            single TRIE node.

                            Otherwise when it is a subsequence we need to
                            stitch it in place and replace only the relevant
                            branches. This means the first branch has to remain
                            as it is used by the alternation logic, and its
                            next pointer, and needs to be repointed at the item
                            on the branch chain following the last branch we
                            have optimized away.

                            This could be either a BRANCH, in which case the
                            subsequence is internal, or it could be the item
                            following the branch sequence in which case the
                            subsequence is at the end (which does not
                            necessarily mean the first node is the start of the
                            alternation).

/*
 * Perl_re_op_compile - the perl internal RE engine's function to compile a
 * regular expression into internal code.
 * The pattern may be passed either as:
 *    a list of SVs (patternp plus pat_count)
 *    a list of OPs (expr)
 * If both are passed, the SV list is used, but the OP list indicates
 * which SVs are actually pre-compiled code blocks
 *
 * The SVs in the list have magic and qr overloading applied to them (and
 * the list may be modified in-place with replacement SVs in the latter
 * case).
 *
 * If the pattern hasn't changed from old_re, then old_re will be
 * returned.
 *
 * eng is the current engine. If that engine has an op_comp method, then
 * handle directly (i.e. we assume that op_comp was us); otherwise, just
 * do the initial concatenation of arguments and pass on to the external
 * engine.
 *
 * If is_bare_re is not null, set it to a boolean indicating whether the
 * arg list reduced (after overloading) to a single bare regex which has
 * been returned (i.e. /$qr/).
 *
 * orig_rx_flags contains RXf_* flags. See perlreapi.pod for more details.
 *
 * pm_flags contains the PMf_* flags, typically based on those from the
 * pm_flags field of the related PMOP. Currently we're only interested in
 * PMf_HAS_CV, PMf_IS_QR, PMf_USE_RE_EVAL.
 *
 * We can't allocate space until we know how big the compiled form will be,
 * but we can't compile it (and thus know how big it is) until we've got a
 * place to put the code.  So we cheat:  we compile it twice, once with code
 * generation turned off and size counting turned on, and once "for real".
 * This also means that we don't allocate space until we are sure that the
 * thing really will compile successfully, and we never have to move the
 * code and thus invalidate pointers into it.  (Note that it has to be in
 * one piece because free() must be able to free it all.) [NB: not true in perl]
 *
 * Beware that the optimization-preparation code in here knows about some
 * of the structure of the compiled regexp.  [I'll say.]

 * as an SVt_INVLIST scalar.
 *
 * An inversion list for Unicode is an array of code points, sorted by ordinal
 * number.  Each element gives the code point that begins a range that extends
 * up-to but not including the code point given by the next element.  The final
 * element gives the first code point of a range that extends to the platform's
 * infinity.  The even-numbered elements (invlist[0], invlist[2], invlist[4],
 * ...) give ranges whose code points are all in the inversion list.  We say
 * that those ranges are in the set.  The odd-numbered elements give ranges
 * whose code points are not in the inversion list, and hence not in the set.
 * Thus, element [0] is the first code point in the list.  Element [1]
 * is the first code point beyond that not in the list; and element [2] is the
 * first code point beyond that that is in the list.  In other words, the first
 * range is invlist[0]..(invlist[1]-1), and all code points in that range are
 * in the inversion list.  The second range is invlist[1]..(invlist[2]-1), and
 * all code points in that range are not in the inversion list.  The third
 * range invlist[2]..(invlist[3]-1) gives code points that are in the inversion
 * list, and so forth.  Thus every element whose index is divisible by two
 * gives the beginning of a range that is in the list, and every element whose
 * index is not divisible by two gives the beginning of a range not in the
 * list.  If the final element's index is divisible by two, the inversion list
 * extends to the platform's infinity; otherwise the highest code point in the
 * inversion list is the contents of that element minus 1.
 *
 * A range that contains just a single code point N will look like
 *  invlist[i]   == N
 *  invlist[i+1] == N+1
 *
 * If N is UV_MAX (the highest representable code point on the machine), N+1 is
 * impossible to represent, so element [i+1] is omitted.  The single element
 * inversion list
 *  invlist[0] == UV_MAX
 * contains just UV_MAX, but is interpreted as matching to infinity.
 *
 * 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.  This means that the inversion list can be inverted without any
 * copying; just flip the flag.
 *
 * More about inversion lists can be found in "Unicode Demystified"
 * Chapter 13 by Richard Gillam, published by Addison-Wesley.
 *
 * 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
 * should eventually be made public */

  * accordingly.  The input parameters constrain which meaning(s) is/are valid
  * in the current context.
  *
  * Exactly one of <node_p> and <code_point_p> must be non-NULL.
  *
  * If <code_point_p> is not NULL, the context is expecting the result to be a
  * single code point.  If this \N instance turns out to a single code point,
  * the function returns TRUE and sets *code_point_p to that code point.
  *
  * If <node_p> is not NULL, the context is expecting the result to be one of
  * the things representable by a regnode.  If this \N instance turns out to be
  * one such, the function generates the regnode, returns TRUE and sets *node_p
  * to point to that regnode.
  *
  * If this instance of \N isn't legal in any context, this function will
  * generate a fatal error and not return.
  *
  * On input, RExC_parse should point to the first char following the \N at the
  * time of the call.  On successful return, RExC_parse will have been updated
  * to point to just after the sequence identified by this routine.  Also
  * *flagp has been updated as needed.
  *
  * When there is some problem with the current context and this \N instance,
  * the function returns FALSE, without advancing RExC_parse, nor setting
  * *node_p, nor *code_point_p, nor *flagp.
  *
  * If <cp_count> is not NULL, the caller wants to know the length (in code
  * points) that this \N sequence matches.  This is set even if the function
  * returns FALSE, as detailed below.
  *
  * There are 5 possibilities here, as detailed in the next 5 paragraphs.
  *
  * Probably the most common case is for the \N to specify a single code point.
  * *cp_count will be set to 1, and *code_point_p will be set to that code
  * point.
  *
  * Another possibility is for the input to be an empty \N{}, which for
  * backwards compatibility we accept.  *cp_count will be set to 0. *node_p
  * will be set to a generated NOTHING node.
  *
  * Still another possibility is for the \N to mean [^\n]. *cp_count will be
  * set to 0. *node_p will be set to a generated REG_ANY node.
  *
  * The fourth possibility is that \N resolves to a sequence of more than one
  * code points.  *cp_count will be set to the number of code points in the
  * sequence. *node_p * will be set to a generated node returned by this
  * function calling S_reg().
  *
  * The final possibility is that it is premature to be calling this function;
  * that pass1 needs to be restarted.  This can happen when this changes from
  * /d to /u rules, or when the pattern needs to be upgraded to UTF-8.  The
  * latter occurs only when the fourth possibility would otherwise be in
  * effect, and is because one of those code points requires the pattern to be
  * recompiled as UTF-8.  The function returns FALSE, and sets the
  * RESTART_PASS1 and NEED_UTF8 flags in *flagp, as appropriate.  When this
  * happens, the caller needs to desist from continuing parsing, and return
  * this information to its caller.  This is not set for when there is only one
  * code point, as this can be called as part of an ANYOF node, and they can
  * store above-Latin1 code points without the pattern having to be in UTF-8.
  *
  * For non-single-quoted regexes, the tokenizer has resolved character and
  * sequence names inside \N{...} into their Unicode values, normalizing the
  * result into what we should see here: '\N{U+c1.c2...}', where c1... are the
  * hex-represented code points in the sequence.  This is done there because
  * the names can vary based on what charnames pragma is in scope at the time,
  * so we need a way to take a snapshot of what they resolve to at the time of
  * the original parse. [perl #56444].
  *
  * That parsing is skipped for single-quoted regexes, so we may here get
  * '\N{NAME}'.  This is a fatal error.  These names have to be resolved by the
  * parser.  But if the single-quoted regex is something like '\N{U+41}', that
  * is legal and handled here.  The code point is Unicode, and has to be
  * translated into the native character set for non-ASCII platforms.

/*
 - regatom - the lowest level

   Try to identify anything special at the start of the current parse position.
   If there is, then handle it as required. This may involve generating a
   single regop, such as for an assertion; or it may involve recursing, such as
   to handle a () structure.

   If the string doesn't start with something special then we gobble up
   as much literal text as we can.  If we encounter a quantifier, we have to
   back off the final literal character, as that quantifier applies to just it
   and not to the whole string of literals.

   Once we have been able to handle whatever type of thing started the
   sequence, we return.

   Note: we have to be careful with escapes, as they can be both literal
   and special, and in the case of \10 and friends, context determines which.

   A summary of the code structure is:

   switch (first_byte) {
        cases for each special:
            handle this special;
            break;

                    break;
                cases for each ambigous special/literal:
                    disambiguate;

   Specifically there are two separate switches for handling
   escape sequences, with the one for handling literal escapes requiring
   a dummy entry for all of the special escapes that are actually handled
   by the other.

   Returns NULL, setting *flagp to TRYAGAIN if reg() returns NULL with
   TRYAGAIN.
   Returns NULL, setting *flagp to RESTART_PASS1 if the sizing scan needs to be
   restarted, or'd with NEED_UTF8 if the pattern needs to be upgraded to UTF-8
   Otherwise does not return NULL.

                       Every escape sequence that represents something
                       else, like an assertion or a char class, is handled
                       in the switch marked 'Special Escapes' above in this
                       routine, but also has an entry here as anything that
                       isn't explicitly mentioned here will be treated as
                       an unescaped equivalent literal.

     *  3) an equivalence class, like [= =]
     * In the latter two cases, it croaks if it finds a syntactically legal
     * one, as these are not handled by Perl.
     *
     * The main purpose is to look for a POSIX character class.  It returns:
     *  a) the class number
     *      if it is a completely syntactically and semantically legal class.
     *      'updated_parse_ptr', if not NULL, is set to point to just after the
     *      closing ']' of the class
     *  b) OOB_NAMEDCLASS
     *      if it appears that one of the three POSIX constructs was meant, but
     *      its specification was somehow defective.  'updated_parse_ptr', if
     *      not NULL, is set to point to the character just after the end
     *      character of the class.  See below for handling of warnings.
     *  c) NOT_MEANT_TO_BE_A_POSIX_CLASS
     *      if it  doesn't appear that a POSIX construct was intended.
     *      'updated_parse_ptr' is not changed.  No warnings nor errors are
     *      raised.
     *
     * In b) there may be errors or warnings generated.  If 'check_only' is
     * TRUE, then any errors are discarded.  Warnings are returned to the
     * caller via an AV* created into '*posix_warnings' if it is not NULL.  If
     * instead it is NULL, warnings are suppressed.  This is done in all
     * passes.  The reason for this is that the rest of the parsing is heavily
     * dependent on whether this routine found a valid posix class or not.  If
     * it did, the closing ']' is absorbed as part of the class.  If no class,
     * or an invalid one is found, any ']' will be considered the terminator of
     * the outer bracketed character class, leading to very different results.
     * In particular, a '(?[ ])' construct will likely have a syntax error if
     * the class is parsed other than intended, and this will happen in pass1,
     * before the warnings would normally be output.  This mechanism allows the
     * caller to output those warnings in pass1 just before dieing, giving a
     * much better clue as to what is wrong.
     *
     * The reason for this function, and its complexity is that a bracketed
     * character class can contain just about anything.  But it's easy to
     * mistype the very specific posix class syntax but yielding a valid
     * regular bracketed class, so it silently gets compiled into something
     * quite unintended.
     *
     * The solution adopted here maintains backward compatibility except that
     * it adds a warning if it looks like a posix class was intended but
     * improperly specified.  The warning is not raised unless what is input
     * very closely resembles one of the 14 legal posix classes.  To do this,
     * it uses fuzzy parsing.  It calculates how many single-character edits it
     * would take to transform what was input into a legal posix class.  Only
     * if that number is quite small does it think that the intention was a
     * posix class.  Obviously these are heuristics, and there will be cases
     * where it errs on one side or another, and they can be tweaked as
     * experience informs.
     *
     * The syntax for a legal posix class is:
     *
     * qr/(?xa: \[ : \^? [:lower:]{4,6} : \] )/
     *
     * What this routine considers syntactically to be an intended posix class
     * is this (the comments indicate some restrictions that the pattern

     * credit to the person who invented it, and impressing your geek friends.
     * Wikipedia says that the pronounciation of "Ł" has been changing so that
     * it is now more like an English initial W (as in wonk) than an L.)
     *
     * This means that, for example, 'a | b & c' is stored on the stack as
     *
     * c  [4]
     * b  [3]
     * &  [2]
     * a  [1]
     * |  [0]
     *
     * where the numbers in brackets give the stack [array] element number.
     * In this implementation, parentheses are not stored on the stack.
     * Instead a '(' creates a "fence" so that the part of the stack below the
     * fence is invisible except to the corresponding ')' (this allows us to
     * replace testing for parens, by using instead subtraction of the fence
     * position).  As new operands are processed they are pushed onto the stack
     * (except as noted in the next paragraph).  New operators of higher
     * precedence than the current final one are inserted on the stack before
     * the lhs operand (so that when the rhs is pushed next, everything will be
     * in the correct positions shown above.  When an operator of equal or
     * lower precedence is encountered in parsing, all the stacked operations
     * of equal or higher precedence are evaluated, leaving the result as the
     * top entry on the stack.  This makes higher precedence operations
     * evaluate before lower precedence ones, and causes operations of equal
     * precedence to left associate.
     *
     * The only unary operator '!' is immediately pushed onto the stack when
     * encountered.  When an operand is encountered, if the top of the stack is
     * a '!", the complement is immediately performed, and the '!' popped.  The
     * resulting value is treated as a new operand, and the logic in the
     * previous paragraph is executed.  Thus in the expression
     *      [a] + ! [b]
     * the stack looks like
     *
     * !
     * a
     * +
     *
     * as 'b' gets parsed, the latter gets evaluated to '!b', and the stack
     * becomes
     *
     * !b
     * a
     * +
     *
     * A ')' is treated as an operator with lower precedence than all the
     * aforementioned ones, which causes all operations on the stack above the
     * corresponding '(' to be evaluated down to a single resultant operand.
     * Then the fence for the '(' is removed, and the operand goes through the
     * algorithm above, without the fence.
     *
     * A separate stack is kept of the fence positions, so that the position of
     * the latest so-far unbalanced '(' is at the top of it.
     *
     * The ']' ending the construct is treated as the lowest operator of all,
     * so that everything gets evaluated down to a single operand, which is the
