/*
 * Secret Labs' Regular Expression Engine
 *
 * regular expression matching engine
 *
 * partial history:
 * 1999-10-24 fl  created (based on existing template matcher code)
 * 2000-03-06 fl  first alpha, sort of
 * 2000-08-01 fl  fixes for 1.6b1
 * 2000-08-07 fl  use PyOS_CheckStack() if available
 * 2000-09-20 fl  added expand method
 * 2001-03-20 fl  lots of fixes for 2.1b2
 * 2001-04-15 fl  export copyright as Python attribute, not global
 * 2001-04-28 fl  added __copy__ methods (work in progress)
 * 2001-05-14 fl  fixes for 1.5.2 compatibility
 * 2001-07-01 fl  added BIGCHARSET support (from Martin von Loewis)
 * 2001-10-18 fl  fixed group reset issue (from Matthew Mueller)
 * 2001-10-20 fl  added split primitive; reenable unicode for 1.6/2.0/2.1
 * 2001-10-21 fl  added sub/subn primitive
 * 2001-10-24 fl  added finditer primitive (for 2.2 only)
 * 2001-12-07 fl  fixed memory leak in sub/subn (Guido van Rossum)
 * 2002-11-09 fl  fixed empty sub/subn return type
 * 2003-04-18 mvl fully support 4-byte codes
 * 2003-10-17 gn  implemented non recursive scheme

/* Code validation */

/* To learn more about this code, have a look at the _compile() function in
   Lib/sre_compile.py.  The validation functions below checks the code array
   for conformance with the code patterns generated there.

   The nice thing about the generated code is that it is position-independent:
   all jumps are relative jumps forward.  Also, jumps don't cross each other:
   the target of a later jump is always earlier than the target of an earlier
   jump.  IOW, this is okay:

   J---------J-------T--------T
    \         \_____/        /
     \______________________/

   but this is not:

   J---------J-------T--------T
    \_________\_____/        /
               \____________/

   It also helps that SRE_CODE is always an unsigned type.
