# 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.
