                 left brackets, then it is a back reference. Otherwise, up to three octal

                 123 (cf \0123, which is octal 012 followed by the literal 3). If the octal
                 value is greater than 377, the least significant 8 bits are taken. Inside a

 *************************************************/

/* Try to find out if this is an anchored regular expression. Consider each
 alternative branch. If they all start with OP_SOD or OP_CIRC, or with a bracket
 all of whose alternatives start with OP_SOD or OP_CIRC (recurse ad lib), then
 it's anchored. However, if this is a multiline pattern, then only OP_SOD
 counts, since OP_CIRC can match in the middle.
 
 We can also consider a regex to be anchored if OP_SOM starts all its branches.
 This is the code for \G, which means "match at start of match position, taking
 into account the match offset".
 
 A branch is also implicitly anchored if it starts with .* and DOTALL is set,
 because that will try the rest of the pattern at all possible matching points,
 so there is no point trying again.... er ....
 
 .... except when the .* appears inside capturing parentheses, and there is a
 subsequent back reference to those parentheses. We haven't enough information
 to catch that case precisely.
 
 At first, the best we could do was to detect when .* was in capturing brackets
 and the highest back reference was greater than or equal to that level.
 However, by keeping a bitmap of the first 31 back references, we can catch some
 of the more common cases more precisely.
 
 Arguments:
 code           points to start of expression (the bracket)
 options        points to the options setting

 handles up to substring 31; after that we just have to take

 in the subject string, while eptrb holds the value of eptr at the start of the
 last bracketed group - used for breaking infinite loops matching zero-length
 strings. This function is called recursively in many circumstances. Whenever it
 returns a negative (error) response, the outer incarnation must also return the
 same response.
 
 Performance note: It might be tempting to extract commonly used fields from the
 md structure (e.g. utf8, end_subject) into individual variables to improve
 performance. Tests using gcc on a SPARC disproved this; in the first case, it
 made performance worse.
 
 Arguments:

 offset_top  current top pointer
 md          pointer to "static" info for the match
 ims         current /i, /m, and /s options
 eptrb       pointer to chain of blocks containing eptr at start of
 brackets - for testing for empty matches
 flags       can contain
 match_condassert - this is an assertion condition
 match_isgroup - this is the start of a bracketed group
 
 Returns:       MATCH_MATCH if matched            )  these values are >= 0

                 save their starting points and reinstate them after the recursion. However,

                 for small numbers seems expensive. As a compromise, the stack is used when
                 there are no more than REC_STACK_SAVE_MAX values to store; otherwise malloc
                 is used. A problem is what to do if the malloc fails ... there is no way of
                 returning to the top level with an error. Save the top REC_STACK_SAVE_MAX
                 values on the stack, and accept that the rest may be wrong.
                 
                 There are also other values that have to be saved. We use a chained
                 sequence of blocks that actually live on the stack. Thanks to Robin Houston

/* This function applies a compiled re to a subject string and picks out

 each substring: the offsets to the start and end of the substring.
 
 Arguments:
 external_re     points to the compiled expression
 extra_data      points to extra data or is NULL
 subject         points to the subject string
 length          length of subject string (may contain binary zeros)
 start_offset    where to start in the subject string
 options         option bits
 offsets         points to a vector of ints to be filled in with offsets
 offsetcount     the number of elements in the vector
 
 Returns:          > 0 => success; value is the number of elements filled in

 -1 => failed to match
