bytecount now uses runtime dispatch for enabling SIMD, which means we can
no longer need the avx-accel features. We remove it from ripgrep since the
next release will be a minor version bump, but leave them as no-ops for
the crates that previously used it.
This commit moves a lot of "utility" code from ripgrep core into
grep-cli. Any one of these things might not be worth creating a new
crate, but combining everything together results in a fair number of a
convenience routines that make up a decent sized crate.
There is potentially more we could move into the crate, but much of what
remains in ripgrep core is almost entirely dealing with the number of
flags we support.
In the course of doing moving things to the grep-cli crate, we clean up
a lot of gunk and improve failure modes in a number of cases. In
particular, we've fixed a bug where other processes could deadlock if
they write too much to stderr.
Fixes#990
This commit fixes a bug where the first path always reported itself as
as symlink via `path_is_symlink`.
Part of this fix includes updating walkdir to 2.2.1, which also includes
a corresponding bug fix.
Fixes#984
This commit does the work to delete the old `grep` crate and effectively
rewrite most of ripgrep core to use the new libripgrep crates. The new
`grep` crate is now a facade that collects the various crates that make
up libripgrep.
The most complex part of ripgrep core is now arguably the translation
between command line parameters and the library options, which is
ultimately where we want to be.
This commit tweaks the inner literal detection heuristic such that if it
comes up with any literal that is all whitespace, then it's likely a bad
literal to look for since it's so common. Therefore, we simply reject the
inner literal optimization in this case and let the regex engine do its
thang.
This commit removes the previous smart case detection logic and replaces
it with detection based on the regex AST. This particular AST is a faithful
representation of the concrete syntax, which lets us be very precise in
how we handle it.
Closes#851
This update brings with it many bug fixes:
* Better error messages are printed overall. We also include
explicit call out for unsupported features like backreferences
and look-around.
* Regexes like `\s*{` no longer emit incomprehensible errors.
* Unicode escape sequences, such as `\u{..}` are now supported.
For the most part, this upgrade was done in a straight-forward way. We
resist the urge to refactor the `grep` crate, in anticipation of it
being rewritten anyway.
Note that we removed the `--fixed-strings` suggestion whenever a regex
syntax error occurs. In practice, I've found that it results in a lot of
false positives, and I believe that its use is not as paramount now that
regex parse errors are much more readable.
Closes#268, Closes#395, Closes#702, Closes#853
This update brings with it a new feature of the regex crate which will
now use SIMD optimizations automatically at runtime with no necessary
compile time flags. All that's needed is to enable the `unstable` feature.
Other crates, such as bytecount and encoding_rs, are still using the
old-style SIMD support, so we leave the simd-accel and avx-accel features.
However, the binaries we distribute on Github no longer have those
features enabled, which makes them truly portable.
Fixes#135
This commit updates the `log` crate to 0.4 and drops the dependency on
env_logger. In particular, the latest version of env_logger brings in
additional non-optional dependencies such as chrono that I don't think is
worth including into ripgrep.
It turns out ripgrep doesn't need any fancy logging. We just need a concept
of log levels and the ability to print to stderr. Therefore, we just roll
our own super simple logger.
This update is motivated by the persistent configuration task. In
particular, we need the ability to toggle the global log level more than
once, and this doesn't appear to be possible with older versions of the
log crate.
Fixes#717 (partially)
The previous implementation of the smart-case feature was actually *too* smart,
in that it inspected the final character ranges in the AST to determine if the
pattern contained upper-case characters. This meant that patterns like `foo\w`
would not be handled case-insensitively, since `\w` includes the range of
upper-case characters A–Z.
As a medium-term solution to this problem, we now inspect the input pattern
itself for upper-case characters, ignoring any that immediately follow a `\`.
This neatly handles all of the most basic cases like `\w`, `\S`, and `É`, though
it still has problems with more complex features like `\p{Ll}`. Handling those
correctly will require improvements to the AST.
When ripgrep detects a literal, it emits them as raw hex escaped byte
sequences to Regex::new. This permits literal optimizations for arbitrary
byte sequences (i.e., possibly invalid UTF-8). The problem is that
Regex::new interprets hex escaped byte sequences as *Unicode codepoints*
by default, but we want them to actually stand for their raw byte values.
Therefore, disable Unicode mode.
This is OK, since the regex is composed entirely of literals and literal
extraction does Unicode case folding.
Fixes#251
This changes the uppercase literal detection for the "smart case"
functionality. In particular, a character class is considered to have an
uppercase literal if at least one of its ranges starts or stops with an
uppercase literal.
Fixes#229
This was a subtle bug, but the big picture was that the smart case
information wasn't being carried through to the literal extraction in
some cases. When this happened, it was possible to get back an incomplete
set of literals, which would therefore miss some valid matches.
The fix to this is to actually parse the regex and determine whether
smart case applies before doing anything else. It's a little extra work,
but parsing is pretty fast.
Fixes#199
This PR introduces a new sub-crate, `ignore`, which primarily provides a
fast recursive directory iterator that respects ignore files like
gitignore and other configurable filtering rules based on globs or even
file types.
This results in a substantial source of complexity moved out of ripgrep's
core and into a reusable component that others can now (hopefully)
benefit from.
While much of the ignore code carried over from ripgrep's core, a
substantial portion of it was rewritten with the following goals in
mind:
1. Reuse matchers built from gitignore files across directory iteration.
2. Design the matcher data structure to be amenable for parallelizing
directory iteration. (Indeed, writing the parallel iterator is the
next step.)
Fixes#9, #44, #45
If we do, this results in extracting `foofoofoo` from `(\wfoo){3}`,
which is wrong. This does prevent us from extracting `foofoofoo` from
`foo{3}`, which is unfortunate, but we miss plenty of other stuff too.
Literal extracting needs a good rethink (all the way down into the regex
engine).
Fixes#93
