// Prog::UnsafeSearchBacktrack is a backtracking regular expression search,
// except that it remembers where it has been, trading a lot of
// memory for a lot of time. It exists only for testing purposes.
//
// Let me repeat that.
//
// THIS CODE SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN PRODUCTION:
//   - It uses a ton of memory.
//   - It uses a ton of stack.
//   - It uses CHECK and LOG(FATAL).
//   - It implements unanchored search by repeated anchored search.
//
// On the other hand, it is very simple and a good reference
// implementation for the more complicated regexp packages.
//
// In BUILD, this file is linked into the ":testing" library,
// not the main library, in order to make it harder to pick up
// accidentally.

// Backtracker holds the state for a backtracking search.
//
// Excluding the search parameters, the main search state
// is just the "capture registers", which record, for the
// current execution, the string position at which each
// parenthesis was passed.  cap_[0] and cap_[1] are the
// left and right parenthesis in $0, cap_[2] and cap_[3] in $1, etc.
//
// To avoid infinite loops during backtracking on expressions
// like (a*)*, the visited_[] bitmap marks the (state, string-position)
// pairs that have already been explored and are thus not worth
// re-exploring if we get there via another path.  Modern backtracking
// libraries engineer their program representation differently, to make
// such infinite loops possible to avoid without keeping a giant visited_
// bitmap, but visited_ works fine for a reference implementation
// and it has the nice benefit of making the search run in linear time.
