/**
 * A compiled representation of a regular expression.
 *
 * <p> A regular expression, specified as a string, must first be compiled into
 * an instance of this class.  The resulting pattern can then be used to create
 * a {@link Matcher} object that can match arbitrary {@linkplain
 * java.lang.CharSequence character sequences} against the regular
 * expression.  All of the state involved in performing a match resides in the
 * matcher, so many matchers can share the same pattern.
 *
 * <p> A typical invocation sequence is thus
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * Pattern p = Pattern.{@link #compile compile}("a*b");
 * Matcher m = p.{@link #matcher matcher}("aaaaab");
 * boolean b = m.{@link Matcher#matches matches}();</pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p> A {@link #matches matches} method is defined by this class as a
 * convenience for when a regular expression is used just once.  This method
 * compiles an expression and matches an input sequence against it in a single
 * invocation.  The statement
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * boolean b = Pattern.matches("a*b", "aaaaab");</pre></blockquote>
 *
 * is equivalent to the three statements above, though for repeated matches it
 * is less efficient since it does not allow the compiled pattern to be reused.
 *
 * <p> Instances of this class are immutable and are safe for use by multiple
 * concurrent threads.  Instances of the {@link Matcher} class are not safe for
 * such use.

 * <h3><a name="bs">Backslashes, escapes, and quoting</a></h3>
 *
 * <p> The backslash character (<tt>'\'</tt>) serves to introduce escaped
 * constructs, as defined in the table above, as well as to quote characters
 * that otherwise would be interpreted as unescaped constructs.  Thus the
 * expression <tt>\\</tt> matches a single backslash and <tt>\{</tt> matches a
 * left brace.
 *
 * <p> It is an error to use a backslash prior to any alphabetic character that
 * does not denote an escaped construct; these are reserved for future
 * extensions to the regular-expression language.  A backslash may be used
 * prior to a non-alphabetic character regardless of whether that character is
 * part of an unescaped construct.
 *
 * <p> Backslashes within string literals in Java source code are interpreted
 * as required by
 * <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>
 * as either Unicode escapes (section 3.3) or other character escapes (section 3.10.6)
 * It is therefore necessary to double backslashes in string
 * literals that represent regular expressions to protect them from
 * interpretation by the Java bytecode compiler.  The string literal
 * <tt>"&#92;b"</tt>, for example, matches a single backspace character when
 * interpreted as a regular expression, while <tt>"&#92;&#92;b"</tt> matches a
 * word boundary.  The string literal <tt>"&#92;(hello&#92;)"</tt> is illegal
 * and leads to a compile-time error; in order to match the string
 * <tt>(hello)</tt> the string literal <tt>"&#92;&#92;(hello&#92;&#92;)"</tt>
 * must be used.
 *
 * <h3><a name="cc">Character Classes</a></h3>
 *
 *    <p> Character classes may appear within other character classes, and
 *    may be composed by the union operator (implicit) and the intersection
 *    operator (<tt>&amp;&amp;</tt>).
 *    The union operator denotes a class that contains every character that is
 *    in at least one of its operand classes.  The intersection operator
 *    denotes a class that contains every character that is in both of its
 *    operand classes.
 *
 *    <p> The precedence of character-class operators is as follows, from
 *    highest to lowest:
 *
 *    <blockquote><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"
 *                 summary="Precedence of character class operators.">
 *      <tr><th>1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Literal escape&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
 *        <td><tt>\x</tt></td></tr>
 *     <tr><th>2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Grouping</td>
 *        <td><tt>[...]</tt></td></tr>
 *     <tr><th>3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Range</td>
 *        <td><tt>a-z</tt></td></tr>
 *      <tr><th>4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Union</td>
 *        <td><tt>[a-e][i-u]</tt></td></tr>
 *      <tr><th>5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Intersection</td>
 *        <td>{@code [a-z&&[aeiou]]}</td></tr>
 *    </table></blockquote>
 *
 *    <p> Note that a different set of metacharacters are in effect inside
 *    a character class than outside a character class. For instance, the
 *    regular expression <tt>.</tt> loses its special meaning inside a
 *    character class, while the expression <tt>-</tt> becomes a range
 *    forming metacharacter.
 *
 * <h3><a name="lt">Line terminators</a></h3>
 *
 * <p> A <i>line terminator</i> is a one- or two-character sequence that marks
 * the end of a line of the input character sequence.  The following are
 * recognized as line terminators:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *   <li> A newline (line feed) character&nbsp;(<tt>'\n'</tt>),
 *
 *   <li> A carriage-return character followed immediately by a newline
 *   character&nbsp;(<tt>"\r\n"</tt>),
 *
 *   <li> A standalone carriage-return character&nbsp;(<tt>'\r'</tt>),
 *
 *   <li> A next-line character&nbsp;(<tt>'&#92;u0085'</tt>),
 *
 *   <li> A line-separator character&nbsp;(<tt>'&#92;u2028'</tt>), or
 *
 *   <li> A paragraph-separator character&nbsp;(<tt>'&#92;u2029</tt>).
 *
 * </ul>
 * <p>If {@link #UNIX_LINES} mode is activated, then the only line terminators
 * recognized are newline characters.
 *
 * <p> The regular expression <tt>.</tt> matches any character except a line
 * terminator unless the {@link #DOTALL} flag is specified.
 *
 * <p> By default, the regular expressions <tt>^</tt> and <tt>$</tt> ignore
 * line terminators and only match at the beginning and the end, respectively,
 * of the entire input sequence. If {@link #MULTILINE} mode is activated then
 * <tt>^</tt> matches at the beginning of input and after any line terminator
 * except at the end of input. When in {@link #MULTILINE} mode <tt>$</tt>
 * matches just before a line terminator or the end of the input sequence.
 *
 * <h3><a name="cg">Groups and capturing</a></h3>
 *
 * <h4><a name="gnumber">Group number</a></h4>
 * <p> Capturing groups are numbered by counting their opening parentheses from
 * left to right.  In the expression <tt>((A)(B(C)))</tt>, for example, there
 * are four such groups: </p>
 *
 * <blockquote><table cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0 summary="Capturing group numberings">
 * <tr><th>1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *     <td><tt>((A)(B(C)))</tt></td></tr>
 * <tr><th>2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *     <td><tt>(A)</tt></td></tr>
 * <tr><th>3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *     <td><tt>(B(C))</tt></td></tr>
 * <tr><th>4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *     <td><tt>(C)</tt></td></tr>
 * </table></blockquote>
 *
 * <p> Group zero always stands for the entire expression.
 *
 * <p> Capturing groups are so named because, during a match, each subsequence
 * of the input sequence that matches such a group is saved.  The captured
 * subsequence may be used later in the expression, via a back reference, and
 * may also be retrieved from the matcher once the match operation is complete.
 *
 * <h4><a name="groupname">Group name</a></h4>
 * <p>A capturing group can also be assigned a "name", a <tt>named-capturing group</tt>,
 * and then be back-referenced later by the "name". Group names are composed of
 * the following characters. The first character must be a <tt>letter</tt>.
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li> The uppercase letters <tt>'A'</tt> through <tt>'Z'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u0041'</tt>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<tt>'&#92;u005a'</tt>),
 *   <li> The lowercase letters <tt>'a'</tt> through <tt>'z'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u0061'</tt>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<tt>'&#92;u007a'</tt>),
 *   <li> The digits <tt>'0'</tt> through <tt>'9'</tt>
 *        (<tt>'&#92;u0030'</tt>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<tt>'&#92;u0039'</tt>),
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> A <tt>named-capturing group</tt> is still numbered as described in
 * <a href="#gnumber">Group number</a>.
 *
 * <p> The captured input associated with a group is always the subsequence
 * that the group most recently matched.  If a group is evaluated a second time
 * because of quantification then its previously-captured value, if any, will
 * be retained if the second evaluation fails.  Matching the string
 * <tt>"aba"</tt> against the expression <tt>(a(b)?)+</tt>, for example, leaves
 * group two set to <tt>"b"</tt>.  All captured input is discarded at the
 * beginning of each match.
 *
 * <p> Groups beginning with <tt>(?</tt> are either pure, <i>non-capturing</i> groups
 * that do not capture text and do not count towards the group total, or
 * <i>named-capturing</i> group.
 *
 * <h3> Unicode support </h3>
 *
 * <p> This class is in conformance with Level 1 of <a
 * href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/"><i>Unicode Technical
 * Standard #18: Unicode Regular Expression</i></a>, plus RL2.1
 * Canonical Equivalents.
 * <p>
 * <b>Unicode escape sequences</b> such as <tt>&#92;u2014</tt> in Java source code
 * are processed as described in section 3.3 of
 * <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>.
 * Such escape sequences are also implemented directly by the regular-expression
 * parser so that Unicode escapes can be used in expressions that are read from
 * files or from the keyboard.  Thus the strings <tt>"&#92;u2014"</tt> and
 * <tt>"\\u2014"</tt>, while not equal, compile into the same pattern, which
 * matches the character with hexadecimal value <tt>0x2014</tt>.
 * <p>
 * A Unicode character can also be represented in a regular-expression by
 * using its <b>Hex notation</b>(hexadecimal code point value) directly as described in construct
 * <tt>&#92;x{...}</tt>, for example a supplementary character U+2011F
 * can be specified as <tt>&#92;x{2011F}</tt>, instead of two consecutive
 * Unicode escape sequences of the surrogate pair
 * <tt>&#92;uD840</tt><tt>&#92;uDD1F</tt>.
 * <p>
 * Unicode scripts, blocks, categories and binary properties are written with
 * the <tt>\p</tt> and <tt>\P</tt> constructs as in Perl.
 * <tt>\p{</tt><i>prop</i><tt>}</tt> matches if
 * the input has the property <i>prop</i>, while <tt>\P{</tt><i>prop</i><tt>}</tt>
 * does not match if the input has that property.
 * <p>
 * Scripts, blocks, categories and binary properties can be used both inside
 * and outside of a character class.
 *
 * <p>
 * <b><a name="usc">Scripts</a></b> are specified either with the prefix {@code Is}, as in
 * {@code IsHiragana}, or by using  the {@code script} keyword (or its short

 * <p>
 * The script names supported by <code>Pattern</code> are the valid script names

 * accepted and defined by
 * {@link java.lang.Character.UnicodeBlock#forName(String) UnicodeBlock.forName}.
 * <p>
 *
 * <b><a name="ucc">Categories</a></b> may be specified with the optional prefix {@code Is}:
 * Both {@code \p{L}} and {@code \p{IsL}} denote the category of Unicode
 * letters. Same as scripts and blocks, categories can also be specified
 * by using the keyword {@code general_category} (or its short form
 * {@code gc}) as in {@code general_category=Lu} or {@code gc=Lu}.
 * <p>
 * The supported categories are those of
 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/standard.html">
 * <i>The Unicode Standard</i></a> in the version specified by the
 * {@link java.lang.Character Character} class. The category names are those
 * defined in the Standard, both normative and informative.
 * <p>
 *
 * <b><a name="ubpc">Binary properties</a></b> are specified with the prefix {@code Is}, as in
 * {@code IsAlphabetic}. The supported binary properties by <code>Pattern</code>
 * are
 * <ul>
 *   <li> Alphabetic

 *
 * <p> Constructs supported by this class but not by Perl: </p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *    <li><p> Character-class union and intersection as described
 *    <a href="#cc">above</a>.</p></li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> Notable differences from Perl: </p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *    <li><p> In Perl, <tt>\1</tt> through <tt>\9</tt> are always interpreted
 *    as back references; a backslash-escaped number greater than <tt>9</tt> is
 *    treated as a back reference if at least that many subexpressions exist,
 *    otherwise it is interpreted, if possible, as an octal escape.  In this
 *    class octal escapes must always begin with a zero. In this class,
 *    <tt>\1</tt> through <tt>\9</tt> are always interpreted as back
 *    references, and a larger number is accepted as a back reference if at
 *    least that many subexpressions exist at that point in the regular
 *    expression, otherwise the parser will drop digits until the number is
 *    smaller or equal to the existing number of groups or it is one digit.
 *    </p></li>
 *
 *    <li><p> Perl uses the <tt>g</tt> flag to request a match that resumes
 *    where the last match left off.  This functionality is provided implicitly
 *    by the {@link Matcher} class: Repeated invocations of the {@link
 *    Matcher#find find} method will resume where the last match left off,
 *    unless the matcher is reset.  </p></li>
 *
 *    <li><p> In Perl, embedded flags at the top level of an expression affect
 *    the whole expression.  In this class, embedded flags always take effect
 *    at the point at which they appear, whether they are at the top level or
 *    within a group; in the latter case, flags are restored at the end of the
 *    group just as in Perl.  </p></li>

     * matched right to left.
     * <p>
     * The pattern is compared to the input one character at a time, from
     * the rightmost character in the pattern to the left. If the characters
     * all match the pattern has been found. If a character does not match,
     * the pattern is shifted right a distance that is the maximum of two
     * functions, the bad character shift and the good suffix shift. This
     * shift moves the attempted match position through the input more
     * quickly than a naive one position at a time check.
     * <p>
     * The bad character shift is based on the character from the text that
     * did not match. If the character does not appear in the pattern, the
     * pattern can be shifted completely beyond the bad character. If the
     * character does occur in the pattern, the pattern can be shifted to
     * line the pattern up with the next occurrence of that character.
     * <p>
     * The good suffix shift is based on the idea that some subset on the right
     * side of the pattern has matched. When a bad character is found, the
     * pattern can be shifted right by the pattern length if the subset does
     * not occur again in pattern, or by the amount of distance to the
     * next occurrence of the subset in the pattern.
