43     # BRANCH The set of branches constituting a single choice are hooked
44     # together with their "next" pointers, since precedence prevents
45     # anything being concatenated to any individual branch. The
46     # "next" pointer of the last BRANCH in a choice points to the
47     # thing following the whole choice. This is also where the
48     # final "next" pointer of each individual branch points; each
49     # branch starts with the operand node of a BRANCH node.
50     #
51     BRANCH BRANCH, node Match this alternative, or the next...
52    
53     # BACK Normal "next" pointers all implicitly point forward; BACK
54     # exists to make loop structures possible.
55     # not used
56     BACK BACK, no Match "", "next" ptr points backward.
57    
58     # Literals
59     EXACT EXACT, sv Match this string (preceded by length).

64     NOTHING NOTHING,no Match empty string.
65     # A variant of above which delimits a group, thus stops optimizations
66     TAIL NOTHING,no Match empty string. Can jump here from outside.
67    
68     # STAR,PLUS '?', and complex '*' and '+', are implemented as circular
69     # BRANCH structures using BACK. Simple cases (one character
70     # per match) are implemented with STAR and PLUS for speed
71     # and to minimize recursive plunges.
72     #
73     STAR STAR, node Match this (simple) thing 0 or more times.
74     PLUS PLUS, node Match this (simple) thing 1 or more times.
75    
76     CURLY CURLY, sv 2 Match this simple thing {n,m} times.

80     CURLYX CURLY, sv 2 Match this complex thing {n,m} times.
81    
82     # This terminator creates a loop structure for CURLYX
83     WHILEM WHILEM, no Do curly processing and see if rest matches.
84    
85     # OPEN,CLOSE,GROUPP ...are numbered at compile time.
