When a "\n literal is not allowed" error is reported, ripgrep will now
suggest the use of the -U/--multiline flag, which enables matching
newlines.
Fixes#1055
It seems the inner literal detector fails spectacularly in cases of
concatenations that involve groups. The issue here is that if the prefix
of a group inside a concatenation can match the empty string, then any
literals generated to that point in the concatenation need to be cut
such that they are never extended. The detector isn't really built to
handle this case, so we just act conservative cut literals whenever we
see a sub-group. This may make some regexes slower, but the inner
literal detector already misses plenty of cases.
Literal detection (including in the regex engine) is a key component
that needs to be completely rethought at some point.
Fixes#1064
This is a preliminary script to copy example code from a Markdown file
into a crate's example directory.
This is intended to be used for the upcoming libripgrep guide, but we
don't commit any examples yet.
We initially did not have this impl because the first revision of the Sink
trait was much more complicated. In particular, each method was
parameterized over a Matcher. But not every Sink impl actually needs a
Matcher, and it is just as easy to borrow a Matcher explicitly, so the
added parameterization wasn't holding its own.
This does permit Sink implementations to be used as trait objects. One
key use case here is to reduce compile times, since there is quite a bit
of code inside grep-searcher that is parameterized on Sink. Unfortunately,
that code is *also* parameterized on Matcher, and the various printers in
grep-printer are also parameterized on Matcher, which means Sink trait
objects are necessary but no sufficient for a major reduction in compile
times. Unfortunately, the path to making Matcher object safe isn't quite
clear. Extension traits maybe? There's also stuff in the Serde ecosystem
that might help, but the type shenanigans can get pretty gnarly.
The --pre-glob flag is like the --glob flag, except it applies to filtering
files through the preprocessor instead of for search. This makes it
possible to apply the preprocessor to only a small subset of files, which
can greatly reduce the process overhead of using a preprocessor when
searching large directories.
These flags provide granular control over ripgrep's buffering strategy.
The --line-buffered flag can be genuinely useful in certain types of shell
pipelines. The --block-buffered flag has a murkier use case, but we add it
for completeness.
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 removes ripgrep-specific code for filtering files that correspond to
stdout and instead uses the 'ignore' crate's functionality for doing the
same.
This commit adds a new 'skip_stdout' option to the directory walker. When
enabled, it will skip yielding any directory entries that are believed to
correspond to stdout for the current process. This is useful for filtering
out 'results' in a command like 'grep -r foo > results' in order to avoid
an unbounded feedback mechanism.
These flags each accept one of five choices: none, path, modified,
accessed or created. The value indicates how the results are sorted.
For --sort, results are sorted in ascending order where as for --sortr,
results are sorted in descending order.
Closes#404
This permits callers to sort entries by their full file path, which makes
it easy to query for various file statistics.
It would have been better to provide a comparator on DirEntry itself,
similar to how walkdir does it, but this seems to require quite a bit of
work to make the types work out, assuming we want to continue to use
walkdir's sorting support (we do).
This commit adds a 'same_file_system' option to the walk builder. For
single threaded walking, it defers to the walkdir crate, which has the
same option. The bulk of this commit implements this flag for the parallel
walker. We add one very feeble test for this.
The parallel walker is now officially a complete mess.
Closes#321
