15 * The "internal use only" fields in regexp.h are present to pass info from
16 * compile to execute that permits the execute phase to run lots faster on
17 * simple cases. They are:
18 *
79072805 19 * regstart sv that must begin a match; Nullch if none obvious
a687059c 20 * reganch is the match anchored (at beginning-of-line only)?
21 * regmust string (pointer into program) that match must include, or NULL
79072805 22 * [regmust changed to SV* for bminstr()--law]
a687059c 23 * regmlen length of regmust string
24 * [regmlen not used currently]
25 *
26 * Regstart and reganch permit very fast decisions on suitable starting points
27 * for a match, cutting down the work a lot. Regmust permits fast rejection
28 * of lines that cannot possibly match. The regmust tests are costly enough
29 * that regcomp() supplies a regmust only if the r.e. contains something
30 * potentially expensive (at present, the only such thing detected is * or +
31 * at the start of the r.e., which can involve a lot of backup). Regmlen is
32 * supplied because the test in regexec() needs it and regcomp() is computing
33 * it anyway.
34 * [regmust is now supplied always. The tests that use regmust have a
35 * heuristic that disables the test if it usually matches.]
36 *
37 * [In fact, we now use regmust in many cases to locate where the search
38 * starts in the string, so if regback is >= 0, the regmust search is never
39 * wasted effort. The regback variable says how many characters back from
40 * where regmust matched is the earliest possible start of the match.
41 * For instance, /[a-z].foo/ has a regmust of 'foo' and a regback of 2.]

45 * Structure for regexp "program". This is essentially a linear encoding
46 * of a nondeterministic finite-state machine (aka syntax charts or
47 * "railroad normal form" in parsing technology). Each node is an opcode
48 * plus a "next" pointer, possibly plus an operand. "Next" pointers of
49 * all nodes except BRANCH implement concatenation; a "next" pointer with
50 * a BRANCH on both ends of it is connecting two alternatives. (Here we
51 * have one of the subtle syntax dependencies: an individual BRANCH (as
52 * opposed to a collection of them) is never concatenated with anything
53 * because of operator precedence.) The operand of some types of node is
54 * a literal string; for others, it is a node leading into a sub-FSM. In
55 * particular, the operand of a BRANCH node is the first node of the branch.
56 * (NB this is *not* a tree structure: the tail of the branch connects
57 * to the thing following the set of BRANCHes.) The opcodes are:

86 * Opcode notes:
87 *
88 * BRANCH The set of branches constituting a single choice are hooked
89 * together with their "next" pointers, since precedence prevents
90 * anything being concatenated to any individual branch. The
91 * "next" pointer of the last BRANCH in a choice points to the
92 * thing following the whole choice. This is also where the
93 * final "next" pointer of each individual branch points; each
94 * branch starts with the operand node of a BRANCH node.
95 *
96 * BACK Normal "next" pointers all implicitly point forward; BACK
97 * exists to make loop structures possible.
98 *
99 * STAR,PLUS '?', and complex '*' and '+', are implemented as circular
100 * BRANCH structures using BACK. Simple cases (one character
101 * per match) are implemented with STAR and PLUS for speed
102 * and to minimize recursive plunges.
103 *
104 * OPEN,CLOSE ...are numbered at compile time.
