--  This is an altered Ada 95 version of the original V8 style regular
--  expression library written in C by Henry Spencer. Apart from the
--  translation to Ada, the interface has been considerably changed to
--  use the Ada String type instead of C-style nul-terminated strings.

--  Beware that some of this code is subtly aware of the way operator
--  precedence is structured in regular expressions. Serious changes in
--  regular-expression syntax might require a total rethink.

   MAGIC : constant Character := Character'Val (10#0234#);

   -- Implementation details --
   ----------------------------

   --  This is essentially a linear encoding of a nondeterministic
   --  finite-state machine, also known as syntax charts or
   --  "railroad normal form" in parsing technology.

   --  Each node is an opcode plus a "next" pointer, possibly plus an
   --  operand. "Next" pointers of all nodes except BRANCH implement
   --  concatenation; a "next" pointer with a BRANCH on both ends of it
   --  is connecting two alternatives.

   --  The operand of some types of node is a literal string; for others,
   --  it is a node leading into a sub-FSM. In particular, the operand of
   --  a BRANCH node is the first node of the branch.
   --  (NB this is *not* a tree structure:  the tail of the branch connects
   --  to the thing following the set of BRANCHes).

   --  You can see the exact byte-compiled version by using the Dump
   --  subprogram. However, here are a few examples:

   --  (a|b):  1 : MAGIC
   --          2 : BRANCH  (next at  10)
   --          5 :    EXACT  (next at  18)   operand=a
   --         10 : BRANCH  (next at  18)
   --         13 :    EXACT  (next at  18)   operand=b
   --         18 : EOP  (next at 0)
   --
   --  (ab)*:  1 : MAGIC
   --          2 : CURLYX  (next at  26)  { 0, 32767}
   --          9 :    OPEN 1  (next at  13)
   --         13 :       EXACT  (next at  19)   operand=ab
   --         19 :    CLOSE 1  (next at  23)
   --         23 :    WHILEM  (next at 0)
   --         26 : NOTHING  (next at  29)
   --         29 : EOP  (next at 0)

   --  Opcode notes:

   --  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.

   --  STAR,PLUS
   --    '?', and complex '*' and '+', are implemented with CURLYX.
   --    branches. Simple cases (one character per match) are implemented with
   --    STAR and PLUS for speed and to minimize recursive plunges.

   --  OPEN,CLOSE
   --    ...are numbered at compile time.

   --  EXACT, EXACTF
   --    There are in fact two arguments, the first one is the length (minus
   --    one of the string argument), coded on one character, the second
   --    argument is the string itself, coded on length + 1 characters.

   --  A node is one char of opcode followed by two chars of "next" pointer.
   --  "Next" pointers are stored as two 8-bit pieces, high order first. The
   --  value is a positive offset from the opcode of the node containing it.
   --  An operand, if any, simply follows the node. (Note that much of the
   --  code generation knows about this implicit relationship.)

   --  Using two bytes for the "next" pointer is vast overkill for most
   --  things, but allows patterns to get big without disasters.

   --  This is the implementation for character classes ([...]) in the
