/* 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 compatible node types
 *
 * 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 preceding node.  This would maximise the efficiency of
 * memEQ during matching.
 *
 * 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 it won't be known until
 * runtime whether the fold is valid or not; namely
 *  1) 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; or
 *  2) 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 EXACTFUP 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 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 LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S (U+00DF)
 *      under /u, we fold it to 'ss' in regatom(), and in this routine, after
 *      joining, we scan for occurrences of the sequence 'ss' in non-UTF-8
 *      EXACTFU nodes.  The node type of such nodes is then changed to
 *      EXACTFUP, indicating it is problematic, and needs careful handling.
 *      (The procedures in step 1) above are sufficient to handle this case in
 *      UTF-8 encoded nodes.)  The reason this is problematic is that this is
 *      the only case where there is a possible fold length change in non-UTF-8
 *      patterns.  By reserving a special node type for problematic cases, the
 *      far more common regular EXACTFU nodes can be processed faster.
 *      regexec.c takes advantage of this.
 *
 *      EXACTFUP has been created as a grab-bag for (hopefully uncommon)
 *      problematic cases.   These all only occur when the pattern is not
 *      UTF-8.  In addition to the 'ss' sequence where there is a possible fold
 *      length change, it handles the situation where the string cannot be
 *      entirely folded.  The strings in an EXACTFish node are folded as much
 *      as possible during compilation in regcomp.c.  This saves effort in
 *      regex matching.  By using an EXACTFUP node when it is not possible to
 *      fully fold at compile time, regexec.c can know that everything in an
 *      EXACTFU node is folded, so folding can be skipped at runtime.  The only
 *      case where folding in EXACTFU nodes can't be done at compile time is
 *      the presumably uncommon MICRO SIGN, when the pattern isn't UTF-8.  This
 *      is because its fold requires UTF-8 to represent.  Thus EXACTFUP nodes
 *      handle two very different cases.  Alternatively, there could have been
 *      a node type where there are length changes, one for unfolded, and one
 *      for both.  If yet another special case needed to be created, the number
 *      of required node types would have to go to 7.  khw figures that even
 *      though there are plenty of node types to spare, that the maintenance
 *      cost wasn't worth the small speedup of doing it that way, especially
 *      since he thinks the MICRO SIGN is rarely encountered in practice.
 *
 *      There are other cases where folding isn't done at compile time, but
 *      none of them are under /u, and hence not for EXACTFU nodes.  The folds
 *      in EXACTFL nodes aren't known until runtime, and vary as the locale
 *      changes.  Some folds in EXACTF depend on if the runtime target string
 *      is UTF-8 or not.  (regatom() will create an EXACTFU node even under /di
 *      when no fold in it depends on the UTF-8ness of the target string.)
 *
 * 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 EXACTFAA
 *      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 EXACTFAA
 *      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 EXACTFAA 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 EXACTFAA 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 EXACTFAA where it never does.  In an EXACTFAA 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 EXACTFAA nodes with the sharp s
 *      doesn't work.  Instead, such an EXACTFAA is turned into a new regnode,
 *      EXACTFAA_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 */

                   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.

                                      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

        At this point 'min' represents the minimum length string we can
        match while *ignoring* the implication of ACCEPT, and 'delta'
        represents the difference between the minimum length and maximum
        length, and if the pattern matches an infinitely long string
        (consider the + and * quantifiers) then we use the special delta
        value of OPTIMIZE_INFTY to represent it. 'stopmin' is the
        minimum length that can be matched *and* accepted.
        A pattern is accepted when matching was successful *and*
        complete, and thus there is no further matching needing to be
        done, no backtracking to occur, etc. Prior to the introduction
        of ACCEPT the only opcode that signaled acceptance was the END
        opcode, which is always the very last opcode in a regex program.
        ACCEPT is thus conceptually an early successful return out of
        the matching process. stopmin starts out as OPTIMIZE_INFTY to
        represent "the entire pattern", and is ratched down to the
        "current min" if necessary when an ACCEPT opcode is encountered.
        Thus stopmin might be smaller than min if we saw an (*ACCEPT),
        and we now need to account for it in both min and delta.
        Consider that in a pattern /AB/ normally the min length it can
        match can be computed as min(A)+min(B). But (*ACCEPT) means
        that it might be something else, not even neccesarily min(A) at
        all. Consider
             A  = /(foo(*ACCEPT)|x+)/
             B  = /whop/
             AB = /(foo(*ACCEPT)|x+)whop/
        The min for A is 1 for "x" and the delta for A is OPTIMIZE_INFTY
        for "xxxxx...", its stopmin is 3 for "foo". The min for B is 4 for
        "whop", and the delta of 0 as the pattern is of fixed length, the
        stopmin would be OPTIMIZE_INFTY as it does not contain an ACCEPT.
        When handling AB we expect to see a min of 5 for "xwhop", and a
        delta of OPTIMIZE_INFTY for "xxxxx...whop", and a stopmin of 3
        for "foo". This should result in a final min of 3 for "foo", and
        a final delta of OPTIMIZE_INFTY for "xxxxx...whop".
        In something like /(dude(*ACCEPT)|irk)x{3,7}/ we would have a
        min of 6 for "irkxxx" and a delta of 4 for "irkxxxxxxx", and the
        stop min would be 4 for "dude". This should result in a final
        min of 4 for "dude", and a final delta of 6, for "irkxxxxxxx".
        When min is smaller than stopmin then we can ignore it. In the
        fragment /(x{10,20}(*ACCEPT)|a)b+/, we would have a min of 2,
        and a delta of OPTIMIZE_INFTY, and a stopmin of 10. Obviously
        the ACCEPT doesn't reduce the minimum length of the string that
        might be matched, nor affect the maximum length.
        In something like /foo(*ACCEPT)ba?r/ we would have a min of 5
        for "foobr", a delta of 1 for "foobar", and a stopmin of 3 for
        "foo". We currently turn this into a min of 3 for "foo" and a
        delta of 3 for "foobar" even though technically "foobar" isn't
        possible. ACCEPT affects some aspects of the optimizer, like
        length computations and mandatory substring optimizations, but
        there are other optimzations this routine perfoms that are not
        affected and this compromise simplifies implementation.
        It might be helpful to consider that this C function is called
        recursively on the pattern in a bottom up fashion, and that the
        min returned by a nested call may be marked as coming from an
        ACCEPT, causing its callers to treat the returned min as a
        stopmin as the recursion unwinds. Thus a single ACCEPT can affect
        multiple calls into this function in different ways.
