   -- Description of Algorithm and Data Structures --
   --------------------------------------------------

   --  A pattern structure is represented as a linked graph of nodes
   --  with the following structure:

   --      +------------------------------------+
   --      I                Pcode               I
   --      +------------------------------------+
   --      I                Index               I
   --      +------------------------------------+
   --      I                Pthen               I
   --      +------------------------------------+
   --      I             parameter(s)           I
   --      +------------------------------------+

   --     Pcode is a code value indicating the type of the pattern node. This
   --     code is used both as the discriminant value for the record, and as
   --     the case index in the main match routine that branches to the proper
   --     match code for the given element.

   --     Index is a serial index number. The use of these serial index
   --     numbers is described in a separate section.

   --     Pthen is a pointer to the successor node, i.e the node to be matched
   --     if the attempt to match the node succeeds. If this is the last node
   --     of the pattern to be matched, then Pthen points to a dummy node
   --     of kind PC_EOP (end of pattern), which initializes pattern exit.

   --     The parameter or parameters are present for certain node types,
   --     and the type varies with the pattern code.

   -- The Pattern History Stack --
   -------------------------------

   --  The pattern history stack is used for controlling backtracking when
   --  a match fails. The idea is to stack entries that give a cursor value
   --  to be restored, and a node to be reestablished as the current node to
   --  attempt an appropriate rematch operation. The processing for a pattern
   --  element that has rematch alternatives pushes an appropriate entry or
   --  entry on to the stack, and the proceeds. If a match fails at any point,
   --  the top element of the stack is popped off, resetting the cursor and
   --  the match continues by accessing the node stored with this entry.

   type Stack_Entry is record

      Cursor : Integer;
      --  Saved cursor value that is restored when this entry is popped
      --  from the stack if a match attempt fails. Occasionally, this
      --  field is used to store a history stack pointer instead of a
      --  cursor. Such cases are noted in the documentation and the value
      --  stored is negative since stack pointer values are always negative.

      Node : PE_Ptr;
      --  This pattern element reference is reestablished as the current
      --  Node to be matched (which will attempt an appropriate rematch).

   end record;

   subtype Stack_Range is Integer range -Stack_Size .. -1;

   type Stack_Type is array (Stack_Range) of Stack_Entry;
   --  The type used for a history stack. The actual instance of the stack
   --  is declared as a local variable in the Match routine, to properly
   --  handle recursive calls to Match. All stack pointer values are negative
   --  to distinguish them from normal cursor values.

   --  Note: the pattern matching stack is used only to handle backtracking.
   --  If no backtracking occurs, its entries are never accessed, and never
   --  popped off, and in particular it is normal for a successful match
   --  to terminate with entries on the stack that are simply discarded.

   --  Note: in subsequent diagrams of the stack, we always place element
   --  zero (the deepest element) at the top of the page, then build the
   --  stack down on the page with the most recent (top of stack) element
   --  being the bottom-most entry on the page.

   --  Stack checking is handled by labeling every pattern with the maximum
   --  number of stack entries that are required, so a single check at the
   --  start of matching the pattern suffices. There are two exceptions.

   --  First, the count does not include entries for recursive pattern
   --  references. Such recursions must therefore perform a specific
   --  stack check with respect to the number of stack entries required
   --  by the recursive pattern that is accessed and the amount of stack
   --  that remains unused.

   --  Second, the count includes only one iteration of an Arbno pattern,
   --  so a specific check must be made on subsequent iterations that there
   --  is still enough stack space left. The Arbno node has a field that
   --  records the number of stack entries required by its argument for
   --  this purpose.

   ---------------------------------------------------
   -- Use of Serial Index Field in Pattern Elements --
   ---------------------------------------------------

   --  The serial index numbers for the pattern elements are assigned as
   --  a pattern is constructed from its constituent elements. Note that there
   --  is never any sharing of pattern elements between patterns (copies are
   --  always made), so the serial index numbers are unique to a particular
   --  pattern as referenced from the P field of a value of type Pattern.

   --  The index numbers meet three separate invariants, which are used for
   --  various purposes as described in this section.

   --  First, the numbers uniquely identify the pattern elements within a
   --  pattern. If Num is the number of elements in a given pattern, then
   --  the serial index numbers for the elements of this pattern will range
   --  from 1 .. Num, so that each element has a separate value.

   --  The purpose of this assignment is to provide a convenient auxiliary
   --  data structure mechanism during operations which must traverse a
   --  pattern (e.g. copy and finalization processing). Once constructed
   --  patterns are strictly read only. This is necessary to allow sharing
   --  of patterns between tasks. This means that we cannot go marking the
   --  pattern (e.g. with a visited bit). Instead we construct a separate
   --  vector that contains the necessary information indexed by the Index
   --  values in the pattern elements. For this purpose the only requirement
   --  is that they be uniquely assigned.

   --  Second, the pattern element referenced directly, i.e. the leading
   --  pattern element, is always the maximum numbered element and therefore
   --  indicates the total number of elements in the pattern. More precisely,
   --  the element referenced by the P field of a pattern value, or the
   --  element returned by any of the internal pattern construction routines
   --  in the body (that return a value of type PE_Ptr) always is this
   --  maximum element,

   --  The purpose of this requirement is to allow an immediate determination
   --  of the number of pattern elements within a pattern. This is used to
   --  properly size the vectors used to contain auxiliary information for
   --  traversal as described above.

   --  Third, as compound pattern structures are constructed, the way in which
   --  constituent parts of the pattern are constructed is stylized. This is
   --  an automatic consequence of the way that these compound structures
   --  are constructed, and basically what we are doing is simply documenting
   --  and specifying the natural result of the pattern construction. The
   --  section describing compound pattern structures gives details of the
   --  numbering of each compound pattern structure.

   --  The purpose of specifying the stylized numbering structures for the
   --  compound patterns is to help simplify the processing in the Image
   --  function, since it eases the task of retrieving the original recursive
   --  structure of the pattern from the flat graph structure of elements.
   --  This use in the Image function is the only point at which the code
   --  makes use of the stylized structures.

   type Ref_Array is array (IndexT range <>) of PE_Ptr;
   --  This type is used to build an array whose N'th entry references the
   --  element in a pattern whose Index value is N. See Build_Ref_Array.

   procedure Build_Ref_Array (E : PE_Ptr; RA : out Ref_Array);
   --  Given a pattern element which is the leading element of a pattern
   --  structure, and a Ref_Array with bounds 1 .. E.Index, fills in the
   --  Ref_Array so that its N'th entry references the element of the
   --  referenced pattern whose Index value is N.

   -------------------------------
   -- Recursive Pattern Matches --
   -------------------------------

   --  The pattern primitive (+P) where P is a Pattern_Ptr or Pattern_Func
   --  causes a recursive pattern match. This cannot be handled by an actual
   --  recursive call to the outer level Match routine, since this would not
   --  allow for possible backtracking into the region matched by the inner
   --  pattern. Indeed this is the classical clash between recursion and
   --  backtracking, and a simple recursive stack structure does not suffice.

   --  This section describes how this recursion and the possible associated
   --  backtracking is handled. We still use a single stack, but we establish
   --  the concept of nested regions on this stack, each of which has a stack
   --  base value pointing to the deepest stack entry of the region. The base
   --  value for the outer level is zero.

   --  When a recursive match is established, two special stack entries are
   --  made. The first entry is used to save the original node that starts
   --  the recursive match. This is saved so that the successor field of
   --  this node is accessible at the end of the match, but it is never
   --  popped and executed.

   --  The second entry corresponds to a standard new region action. A
   --  PC_R_Remove node is stacked, whose cursor field is used to store
   --  the outer stack base, and the stack base is reset to point to
   --  this PC_R_Remove node. Then the recursive pattern is matched and
   --  it can make history stack entries in the normal matter, so now
   --  the stack looks like:

   --     (stack entries made by outer level)

   --     (Special entry, node is (+P) successor
   --      cursor entry is not used)

   --     (PC_R_Remove entry, "cursor" value is (negative)     <-- Stack base
   --      saved base value for the enclosing region)

   --     (stack entries made by inner level)

   --  If a subsequent failure occurs and pops the PC_R_Remove node, it
   --  removes itself and the special entry immediately underneath it,
   --  restores the stack base value for the enclosing region, and then
   --  again signals failure to look for alternatives that were stacked
   --  before the recursion was initiated.

   --  Now we need to consider what happens if the inner pattern succeeds, as
   --  signalled by accessing the special PC_EOP pattern primitive. First we
   --  recognize the nested case by looking at the Base value. If this Base
   --  value is Stack'First, then the entire match has succeeded, but if the
   --  base value is greater than Stack'First, then we have successfully
   --  matched an inner pattern, and processing continues at the outer level.

   --  There are two cases. The simple case is when the inner pattern has made
   --  no stack entries, as recognized by the fact that the current stack
   --  pointer is equal to the current base value. In this case it is fine to
   --  remove all trace of the recursion by restoring the outer base value and
   --  using the special entry to find the appropriate successor node.

   --  The more complex case arises when the inner match does make stack
   --  entries. In this case, the PC_EOP processing stacks a special entry
   --  whose cursor value saves the saved inner base value (the one that
   --  references the corresponding PC_R_Remove value), and whose node
   --  pointer references a PC_R_Restore node, so the stack looks like:

   --     (stack entries made by outer level)

   --     (Special entry, node is (+P) successor,
   --      cursor entry is not used)

   --     (PC_R_Remove entry, "cursor" value is (negative)
   --      saved base value for the enclosing region)

   --     (stack entries made by inner level)

   --     (PC_Region_Replace entry, "cursor" value is (negative)
   --      stack pointer value referencing the PC_R_Remove entry).

   --  If the entire match succeeds, then these stack entries are, as usual,
   --  ignored and abandoned. If on the other hand a subsequent failure
   --  causes the PC_Region_Replace entry to be popped, it restores the
   --  inner base value from its saved "cursor" value and then fails again.
   --  Note that it is OK that the cursor is temporarily clobbered by this
   --  pop, since the second failure will reestablish a proper cursor value.

   ---------------------------------
   -- Compound Pattern Structures --
   ---------------------------------

   --  This section discusses the compound structures used to represent
   --  constructed patterns. It shows the graph structures of pattern
   --  elements that are constructed, and in the case of patterns that
   --  provide backtracking possibilities, describes how the history
   --  stack is used to control the backtracking. Finally, it notes the
   --  way in which the Index numbers are assigned to the structure.

   --  In all diagrams, solid lines (built with minus signs or vertical
   --  bars, represent successor pointers (Pthen fields) with > or V used
   --  to indicate the direction of the pointer. The initial node of the
   --  structure is in the upper left of the diagram. A dotted line is an
   --  alternative pointer from the element above it to the element below
   --  it. See individual sections for details on how alternatives are used.

      -------------------
      -- Concatenation --
      -------------------

      --  In the pattern structures listed in this section, a line that looks
      --  like ----> with nothing to the right indicates an end of pattern
      --  (EOP) pointer that represents the end of the match.

      --  When a pattern concatenation (L & R) occurs, the resulting structure
      --  is obtained by finding all such EOP pointers in L, and replacing
      --  them to point to R. This is the most important flattening that
      --  occurs in constructing a pattern, and it means that the pattern
      --  matching circuitry does not have to keep track of the structure
      --  of a pattern with respect to concatenation, since the appropriate
      --  successor is always at hand.

      --  Concatenation itself generates no additional possibilities for
      --  backtracking, but the constituent patterns of the concatenated
      --  structure will make stack entries as usual. The maximum amount
      --  of stack required by the structure is thus simply the sum of the
      --  maximums required by L and R.

      --  The index numbering of a concatenation structure works by leaving
      --  the numbering of the right hand pattern, R, unchanged and adjusting
      --  the numbers in the left hand pattern, L up by the count of elements
      --  in R. This ensures that the maximum numbered element is the leading
      --  element as required (given that it was the leading element in L).

      -----------------
      -- Alternation --
      -----------------

      --  A pattern (L or R) constructs the structure:

      --    +---+     +---+
      --    | A |---->| L |---->
      --    +---+     +---+
      --      .
      --      .
      --    +---+
      --    | R |---->
      --    +---+

      --  The A element here is a PC_Alt node, and the dotted line represents
      --  the contents of the Alt field. When the PC_Alt element is matched,
      --  it stacks a pointer to the leading element of R on the history stack
      --  so that on subsequent failure, a match of R is attempted.

      --  The A node is the highest numbered element in the pattern. The
      --  original index numbers of R are unchanged, but the index numbers
      --  of the L pattern are adjusted up by the count of elements in R.

      --  Note that the difference between the index of the L leading element
      --  the index of the R leading element (after building the alt structure)
      --  indicates the number of nodes in L, and this is true even after the
      --  structure is incorporated into some larger structure. For example,
      --  if the A node has index 16, and L has index 15 and R has index
      --  5, then we know that L has 10 (15-5) elements in it.

      --  Suppose that we now concatenate this structure to another pattern
      --  with 9 elements in it. We will now have the A node with an index
      --  of 25, L with an index of 24 and R with an index of 14. We still
      --  know that L has 10 (24-14) elements in it, numbered 15-24, and
      --  consequently the successor of the alternation structure has an
      --  index with a value less than 15. This is used in Image to figure
      --  out the original recursive structure of a pattern.

      --  To clarify the interaction of the alternation and concatenation
      --  structures, here is a more complex example of the structure built
      --  for the pattern:

      --      (V or W or X) (Y or Z)

      --  where A,B,C,D,E are all single element patterns:

      --    +---+     +---+       +---+     +---+
      --    I A I---->I V I---+-->I A I---->I Y I---->
      --    +---+     +---+   I   +---+     +---+
      --      .               I     .
      --      .               I     .
      --    +---+     +---+   I   +---+
      --    I A I---->I W I-->I   I Z I---->
      --    +---+     +---+   I   +---+
      --      .               I
      --      .               I
      --    +---+             I
      --    I X I------------>+
      --    +---+

      --  The numbering of the nodes would be as follows:

      --    +---+     +---+       +---+     +---+
      --    I 8 I---->I 7 I---+-->I 3 I---->I 2 I---->
      --    +---+     +---+   I   +---+     +---+
      --      .               I     .
      --      .               I     .
      --    +---+     +---+   I   +---+
      --    I 6 I---->I 5 I-->I   I 1 I---->
      --    +---+     +---+   I   +---+
      --      .               I
      --      .               I
      --    +---+             I
      --    I 4 I------------>+
      --    +---+

      --  Note: The above structure actually corresponds to

      --    (A or (B or C)) (D or E)

      --  rather than

      --    ((A or B) or C) (D or E)

      --  which is the more natural interpretation, but in fact alternation
      --  is associative, and the construction of an alternative changes the
      --  left grouped pattern to the right grouped pattern in any case, so
      --  that the Image function produces a more natural looking output.

      --  The PC_Arb_X node is numbered 2, and the PC_Arb_Y node is 1

      -- Arbno (simple case) --
      -------------------------

      --  The simple form of Arbno can be used where the pattern always
      --  matches at least one character if it succeeds, and it is known
      --  not to make any history stack entries. In this case, Arbno (P)
      --  can construct the following structure:

      --      +-------------+
      --      |             ^

      --    +---+

      --  The S (PC_Arbno_S) node matches null stacking a pointer to the

      --  this match succeeds, then node A gets restacked to try another
      --  instance if needed by a subsequent failure.

      --  The node numbering of the constituent pattern P is not affected.
      --  The S node has a node number of P.Index + 1.

      --  A call to Arbno (P), where P can match null (or at least is not

      --    +---+     +---+     +---+

      --  The node X (PC_Arbno_X) matches null, stacking a pointer to the
      --  E-P-X structure used to match one Arbno instance.

      --  Here E is the PC_R_Enter node which matches null and creates two
      --  stack entries. The first is a special entry whose node field is
      --  not used at all, and whose cursor field has the initial cursor.

      --  The second entry corresponds to a standard new region action. A
      --  PC_R_Remove node is stacked, whose cursor field is used to store
      --  the outer stack base, and the stack base is reset to point to
      --  this PC_R_Remove node. Then the pattern P is matched, and it can
      --  make history stack entries in the normal manner, so now the stack
      --  looks like:

      --     (stack entries made before assign pattern)

      --     (Special entry, node field not used,
      --      used only to save initial cursor)

      --     (PC_R_Remove entry, "cursor" value is (negative)  <-- Stack Base
      --      saved base value for the enclosing region)

      --     (stack entries made by matching P)

      --  If the match of P fails, then the PC_R_Remove entry is popped and
      --  it removes both itself and the special entry underneath it,
      --  restores the outer stack base, and signals failure.

      --  If the match of P succeeds, then node Y, the PC_Arbno_Y node, pops
      --  the inner region. There are two possibilities. If matching P left
      --  no stack entries, then all traces of the inner region can be removed.
      --  If there are stack entries, then we push an PC_Region_Replace stack
      --  entry whose "cursor" value is the inner stack base value, and then
      --  restore the outer stack base value, so the stack looks like:

      --     (stack entries made before assign pattern)

      --     (Special entry, node field not used,
      --      used only to save initial cursor)

      --     (PC_R_Remove entry, "cursor" value is (negative)
      --      saved base value for the enclosing region)

      --     (stack entries made by matching P)

      --     (PC_Region_Replace entry, "cursor" value is (negative)
      --      stack pointer value referencing the PC_R_Remove entry).

      --  Now that we have matched another instance of the Arbno pattern,
      --  we need to move to the successor. There are two cases. If the
      --  Arbno pattern matched null, then there is no point in seeking
      --  alternatives, since we would just match a whole bunch of nulls.
      --  In this case we look through the alternative node, and move
      --  directly to its successor (i.e. the successor of the Arbno
      --  pattern). If on the other hand a non-null string was matched,
      --  we simply follow the successor to the alternative node, which
      --  sets up for another possible match of the Arbno pattern.

      --  As noted in the section on stack checking, the stack count (and
      --  hence the stack check) for a pattern includes only one iteration
      --  of the Arbno pattern. To make sure that multiple iterations do not
      --  overflow the stack, the Arbno node saves the stack count required
      --  by a single iteration, and the Concat function increments this to
      --  include stack entries required by any successor. The PC_Arbno_Y
      --  node uses this count to ensure that sufficient stack remains
      --  before proceeding after matching each new instance.

      --  The node numbering of the constituent pattern P is not affected.
      --  Where N is the number of nodes in P, the Y node is numbered N + 1,
      --  the E node is N + 2, and the X node is N + 3.

      --  Here E is the PC_R_Enter node which matches null and creates two

      --  If the match of P succeeds, then node A, which is the actual
      --  PC_Assign_Imm node, executes the assignment (using the stack
      --  base to locate the entry with the saved starting cursor value),
      --  and the pops the inner region. There are two possibilities, if
      --  matching P left no stack entries, then all traces of the inner
      --  region can be removed. If there are stack entries, then we push
      --  an PC_Region_Replace stack entry whose "cursor" value is the

      --  value, so the stack looks like:

      --     (PC_Region_Replace entry, "cursor" value is the (negative)
      --      stack pointer value referencing the PC_R_Remove entry).

      --  If a subsequent failure occurs, the PC_Region_Replace node restores
      --  the inner stack base value and signals failure to explore rematches
      --  of the pattern P.

      --  The node numbering of the constituent pattern P is not affected.

      ---------------------
      -- Assign On Match --
      ---------------------

      --  The assign on match (**) pattern is quite similar to the assign
      --  immediate pattern, except that the actual assignment has to be
      --  delayed. The following structure is constructed:

      --    +---+     +---+     +---+
      --    | E |---->| P |---->| A |---->
      --    +---+     +---+     +---+

      --  The operation of this pattern is identical to that described above
      --  for deferred assignment, up to the point where P has been matched.

      --  The A node, which is the PC_Assign_OnM node first pushes a
      --  PC_Assign node onto the history stack. This node saves the ending
      --  cursor and acts as a flag for the final assignment, as further
      --  described below.

      --  It then stores a pointer to itself in the special entry node field.
      --  This was otherwise unused, and is now used to retrieve the address
      --  of the variable to be assigned at the end of the pattern.

      --  After that the inner region is terminated in the usual manner,
      --  by stacking a PC_R_Restore entry as described for the assign
      --  immediate case. Note that the optimization of completely
      --  removing the inner region does not happen in this case, since
      --  we have at least one stack entry (the PC_Assign one we just made).
      --  The stack now looks like:

      --     (stack entries made before assign pattern)

      --     (Special entry, node points to copy of
      --      the PC_Assign_OnM node, and the
      --      cursor field saves the initial cursor).

      --     (PC_R_Remove entry, "cursor" value is (negative)
      --      saved base value for the enclosing region)

      --     (stack entries made by matching P)

      --     (PC_Assign entry, saves final cursor)

      --     (PC_Region_Replace entry, "cursor" value is (negative)
      --      stack pointer value referencing the PC_R_Remove entry).

      --  If a subsequent failure causes the PC_Assign node to execute it
      --  simply removes itself and propagates the failure.

      --  If the match succeeds, then the history stack is scanned for
      --  PC_Assign nodes, and the assignments are executed (examination
      --  of the above diagram will show that all the necessary data is
      --  at hand for the assignment).

      --  To optimize the common case where no assign-on-match operations
      --  are present, a global flag Assign_OnM is maintained which is
      --  initialize to False, and gets set True as part of the execution
      --  of the PC_Assign_OnM node. The scan of the history stack for
      --  PC_Assign entries is done only if this flag is set.

      --  The node numbering of the constituent pattern P is not affected.
      --  Where N is the number of nodes in P, the A node is numbered N + 1,
      --  and the E node is N + 2.

      ---------

      --  Bal builds a single node:

      --    +---+
      --    | B |---->
      --    +---+

      --  The node B is the PC_Bal node which matches a parentheses balanced
      --  string, starting at the current cursor position. It then updates
      --  the cursor past this matched string, and stacks a pointer to itself
      --  with this updated cursor value on the history stack, to extend the
      --  matched string on a subsequent failure.

      --  Since this is a single node it is numbered 1 (the reason we include
      --  it in the compound patterns section is that it backtracks).

      --  Here the B node is the BreakX_xx node that performs a normal Break
      --  function. The A node is an alternative (PC_Alt) node that matches
      --  null, but stacks a pointer to node X (the PC_BreakX_X node) which
      --  extends the match one character (to eat up the previously detected
      --  break character), and then rematches the break.

      --  The B node is numbered 3, the alternative node is 1, and the X
      --  node is 2.

      -- Fence --
      -----------

      --  Fence builds a single node:

      --    +---+
      --    | F |---->
      --    +---+

      --  The element F, PC_Fence,  matches null, and stacks a pointer to a
      --  PC_Cancel element which will abort the match on a subsequent failure.

      --  Since this is a single element it is numbered 1 (the reason we
      --  include it in the compound patterns section is that it backtracks).

      --------------------
      -- Fence Function --
      --------------------

      --  A call to the Fence function builds the structure:

      --    +---+     +---+     +---+
      --    | E |---->| P |---->| X |---->
      --    +---+     +---+     +---+

      --  Here E is the PC_R_Enter node which matches null and creates two
      --  stack entries. The first is a special entry which is not used at
      --  all in the fence case (it is present merely for uniformity with
      --  other cases of region enter operations).

      --  The second entry corresponds to a standard new region action. A
      --  PC_R_Remove node is stacked, whose cursor field is used to store
      --  the outer stack base, and the stack base is reset to point to
      --  this PC_R_Remove node. Then the pattern P is matched, and it can
      --  make history stack entries in the normal manner, so now the stack
      --  looks like:

      --     (stack entries made before fence pattern)

      --     (Special entry, not used at all)

      --     (PC_R_Remove entry, "cursor" value is (negative)  <-- Stack Base
      --      saved base value for the enclosing region)

      --     (stack entries made by matching P)

      --  If the match of P fails, then the PC_R_Remove entry is popped
      --  and it removes both itself and the special entry underneath it,
      --  restores the outer stack base, and signals failure.

      --  If the match of P succeeds, then node X, the PC_Fence_X node, gets
      --  control. One might be tempted to think that at this point, the
      --  history stack entries made by matching P can just be removed since
      --  they certainly are not going to be used for rematching (that is
      --  whole point of Fence after all). However, this is wrong, because
      --  it would result in the loss of possible assign-on-match entries
      --  for deferred pattern assignments.

      --  Instead what we do is to make a special entry whose node references
      --  PC_Fence_Y, and whose cursor saves the inner stack base value, i.e.
      --  the pointer to the PC_R_Remove entry. Then the outer stack base
      --  pointer is restored, so the stack looks like:

      --     (stack entries made before assign pattern)

      --     (Special entry, not used at all)

      --     (PC_R_Remove entry, "cursor" value is (negative)
      --      saved base value for the enclosing region)

      --     (stack entries made by matching P)

      --     (PC_Fence_Y entry, "cursor" value is (negative) stack
      --      pointer value referencing the PC_R_Remove entry).

      --  If a subsequent failure occurs, then the PC_Fence_Y entry removes
      --  the entire inner region, including all entries made by matching P,
      --  and alternatives prior to the Fence pattern are sought.

      --  The node numbering of the constituent pattern P is not affected.
      --  Where N is the number of nodes in P, the X node is numbered N + 1,
      --  and the E node is N + 2.

      -- Succeed --
      -------------

      --  Succeed builds a single node:

      --    +---+
      --    | S |---->
      --    +---+

      --  The node S is the PC_Succeed node which matches null, and stacks
      --  a pointer to itself on the history stack, so that a subsequent
      --  failure repeats the same match.

      --  Since this is a single node it is numbered 1 (the reason we include
      --  it in the compound patterns section is that it backtracks).

      --    +---+     +---+     +---+

      --  Here E is the PC_R_Enter node and W is the PC_Write_Imm node. The
      --  handling is identical to that described above for Assign Immediate,
      --  except that at the point where a successful match occurs, the matched
      --  substring is written to the referenced file.

      --  The node numbering of the constituent pattern P is not affected.
