# BRANCH The set of branches constituting a single choice are hooked
# together with their "next" pointers, since precedence prevents
# anything being concatenated to any individual branch. The
# "next" pointer of the last BRANCH in a choice points to the
# thing following the whole choice. This is also where the
# final "next" pointer of each individual branch points; each
# branch starts with the operand node of a BRANCH node.
#
BRANCH BRANCH, node Match this alternative, or the next...
# BACK Normal "next" pointers all implicitly point forward; BACK
# exists to make loop structures possible.
# not used
BACK BACK, no Match "", "next" ptr points backward.
# Literals
EXACT EXACT, sv Match this string (preceded by length).
EXACTF EXACT, sv Match this string, folded (prec. by length).
EXACTFL EXACT, sv Match this string, folded in locale (w/len).
# Do nothing
NOTHING NOTHING,no Match empty string.
# A variant of above which delimits a group, thus stops optimizations
TAIL NOTHING,no Match empty string. Can jump here from outside.
# STAR,PLUS '?', and complex '*' and '+', are implemented as circular
# BRANCH structures using BACK. Simple cases (one character
# per match) are implemented with STAR and PLUS for speed
# and to minimize recursive plunges.
#
STAR STAR, node Match this (simple) thing 0 or more times.
PLUS PLUS, node Match this (simple) thing 1 or more times.
CURLY CURLY, sv 2 Match this simple thing {n,m} times.
CURLYN CURLY, no 2 Match next-after-this simple thing
# {n,m} times, set parenths.
CURLYM CURLY, no 2 Match this medium-complex thing {n,m} times.
CURLYX CURLY, sv 2 Match this complex thing {n,m} times.
# This terminator creates a loop structure for CURLYX
WHILEM WHILEM, no Do curly processing and see if rest matches.
# OPEN,CLOSE,GROUPP ...are numbered at compile time.
OPEN OPEN, num 1 Mark this point in input as start of #n.
CLOSE CLOSE, num 1 Analogous to OPEN.
REF REF, num 1 Match some already matched string
REFF REF, num 1 Match already matched string, folded
REFFL REF, num 1 Match already matched string, folded in loc.
# grouping assertions
IFMATCH BRANCHJ,off 1 2 Succeeds if the following matches.
UNLESSM BRANCHJ,off 1 2 Fails if the following matches.
SUSPEND BRANCHJ,off 1 1 "Independent" sub-RE.
IFTHEN BRANCHJ,off 1 1 Switch, should be preceeded by switcher .
GROUPP GROUPP, num 1 Whether the group matched.
# Support for long RE
LONGJMP LONGJMP,off 1 1 Jump far away.
BRANCHJ BRANCHJ,off 1 1 BRANCH with long offset.
# The heavy worker
EVAL EVAL, evl 1 Execute some Perl code.
# Modifiers
MINMOD MINMOD, no Next operator is not greedy.
LOGICAL LOGICAL,no Next opcode should set the flag only.
# This is not used yet
RENUM BRANCHJ,off 1 1 Group with independently numbered parens.
# This is not really a node, but an optimized away piece of a "long" node.
# To simplify debugging output, we mark it as if it were a node
OPTIMIZED NOTHING,off Placeholder for dump.
