This adds info about whether PCRE2 is available or not to the output of
--version. Essentially, --version now subsumes --pcre2-version, although
we do retain the former because it (usefully) emits an exit code based
on whether PCRE2 is available or not.

Previously, we were applying the -M/--max-columns flag *before* triming
prefix ASCII whitespace. But this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. We
should be trimming first, but the result of trimming is ultimately what
we'll be printing and that's what -M/--max-columns should be applied to.
Fixes#2458
When one does not provide any paths to ripgrep to search, it has to
guess between searching stdin and the current working directory. It is
possible for this guess to be wrong, and having the heuristics and the
choice in the debug logs is useful for diagnosing this.
The failure mode here is still pretty bad because you need to know to
reach for the `--debug` flag in the first place. Namely, the typical
failure mode is that ripgrep tries to search stdin while the intent is
for it to search the current working directory, and thus likely blocking
forever waiting for data on stdin.
(Arguably this is a problem with the process architecture that invokes
ripgrep. It shouldn't give ripgrep an open stdin handle that isn't
closed.)
Closes#2524
Previously, every worker would increment the shared num_pending count on
every new work item, and decrement it after finishing them, leading to
lots of contention. Now, we only track the number of workers actively
running, so there is no contention except when workers go to sleep or
wake up.
Closes#2642
This actually just kind of fell out of the migration off of Clap as a
result of treating `-p/--pretty` more rigorously as an alias for
`--line-number --heading --color always`.
Fixes#2381, Closes#2637
This optional dependency is now finally dropped. So ends a long journey
of trying to generate man pages in a lightweight and dependable way. The
only thing I could figure out how to make work reliably was to just
learn how to write roff myself. Yay.
ripgrep began it's life with docopt for argument parsing. Then it moved
to Clap and stayed there for a number of years. Clap has served ripgrep
well, and it probably could continue to serve ripgrep well, but I ended
up deciding to move off of it.
Why?
The first time I had the thought of moving off of Clap was during the
2->3->4 transition. I thought the 3.x and 4.x releases were great, but
for me, it ended up moving a little too quickly. Since the release of
4.x was telegraphed around when 3.x came out, I decided to just hold off
and wait to migrate to 4.x instead of doing a 3.x migration followed
shortly by another 4.x migration. Of course, I just never ended up doing
the migration at all. I never got around to it and there just wasn't a
compelling reason for me to upgrade. While I never investigated it, I
saw an upgrade as a non-trivial amount of work in part because I didn't
encapsulate the usage of Clap enough.
The above is just what got me started thinking about it. It wasn't
enough to get me to move off of it on its own. What ended up pushing me
over the edge was a combination of factors:
* As mentioned above, I didn't want to run on the migration treadmill.
This has proven to not be much of an issue, but at the time of the
2->3->4 releases, I didn't know how long Clap 4.x would be out before a
5.x would come out.
* The release of lexopt[1] caught my eye. IMO, that crate demonstrates
exactly how something new can arrive on the scene and just thoroughly
solve a problem minimalistically. It has the docs, the reasoning, the
simple API, the tests and good judgment. It gets all the weird corner
cases right that Clap also gets right (and is part of why I was
originally attracted to Clap).
* I have an overall desire to reduce the size of my dependency tree. In
part because a smaller dependency tree tends to correlate with better
compile times, but also in part because it reduces my reliance and trust
on others. It lets me be the "master" of ripgrep's destiny by reducing
the amount of behavior that is the result of someone else's decision
(whether good or bad).
* I perceived that Clap solves a more general problem than what I
actually need solved. Despite the vast number of flags that ripgrep has,
its requirements are actually pretty simple. We just need simple
switches and flags that support one value. No multi-value flags. No
sub-commands. And probably a lot of other functionality that Clap has
that makes it so flexible for so many different use cases. (I'm being
hand wavy on the last point.)
With all that said, perhaps most importantly, the future of ripgrep
possibly demands a more flexible CLI argument parser. In today's world,
I would really like, for example, flags like `--type` and `--type-not`
to be able to accumulate their repeated values into a single sequence
while respecting the order they appear on the CLI. For example, prior
to this migration, `rg regex-automata -Tlock -ttoml` would not return
results in `Cargo.lock` in this repository because the `-Tlock` always
took priority even though `-ttoml` appeared after it. But with this
migration, `-ttoml` now correctly overrides `-Tlock`. We would like to
do similar things for `-g/--glob` and `--iglob` and potentially even
now introduce a `-G/--glob-not` flag instead of requiring users to use
`!` to negate a glob. (Which I had done originally to work-around this
problem.) And some day, I'd like to add some kind of boolean matching to
ripgrep perhaps similar to how `git grep` does it. (Although I haven't
thought too carefully on a design yet.) In order to do that, I perceive
it would be difficult to implement correctly in Clap.
I believe that this last point is possible to implement correctly in
Clap 2.x, although it is awkward to do so. I have not looked closely
enough at the Clap 4.x API to know whether it's still possible there. In
any case, these were enough reasons to move off of Clap and own more of
the argument parsing process myself.
This did require a few things:
* I had to write my own logic for how arguments are combined into one
single state object. Of course, I wanted this. This was part of the
upside. But it's still code I didn't have to write for Clap.
* I had to write my own shell completion generator.
* I had to write my own `-h/--help` output generator.
* I also had to write my own man page generator. Well, I had to do this
with Clap 2.x too, although my understanding is that Clap 4.x supports
this. With that said, without having tried it, my guess is that I
probably wouldn't have liked the output it generated because I
ultimately had to write most of the roff by hand myself to get the man
page I wanted. (This also had the benefit of dropping the build
dependency on asciidoc/asciidoctor.)
While this is definitely a fair bit of extra work, it overall only cost
me a couple days. IMO, that's a good trade off given that this code is
unlikely to change again in any substantial way. And it should also
allow for more flexible semantics going forward.

This permits the value to be surrounded in double quotes. It's still not
perfect, but probably better than it was. Getting this to be more
correct will likely require writing (or using) a real parser, which I'm
not particularly incliend to do at present.

Like the previous CHANGELOG entry, this marks a bug that was fixed
likely with the introduction of regex 1.9:
$ hyperfine "rg-13.0.0 -ic '\bfoo\b \bbar\b' git-3a06386e.txt" "rg -ic '\bfoo\b \bbar\b' git-3a06386e.txt"
Benchmark 1: rg-13.0.0 -ic '\bfoo\b \bbar\b' git-3a06386e.txt
Time (mean ± σ): 1.034 s ± 0.011 s [User: 1.030 s, System: 0.004 s]
Range (min … max): 1.021 s … 1.053 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: rg -ic '\bfoo\b \bbar\b' git-3a06386e.txt
Time (mean ± σ): 6.3 ms ± 0.3 ms [User: 4.6 ms, System: 1.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 5.6 ms … 7.3 ms 343 runs
Summary
'rg -ic '\bfoo\b \bbar\b' git-3a06386e.txt' ran
164.95 ± 7.70 times faster than 'rg-13.0.0 -ic '\bfoo\b \bbar\b' git-3a06386e.txt'
This was not fixed by making \b itself faster, but rather, by improving
inner literal extraction. In particular, if the regex doesn't have any
literals extracted, then search time can still be quite slow:
$ time rg-13.0.0 -ic '\b[a-z]{3}\b\s\b[a-z]{3}\b' git-3a06386e.txt
57538
real 0.427
user 0.423
sys 0.003
maxmem 46 MB
faults 0
$ time rg -ic '\b[a-z]{3}\b\s\b[a-z]{3}\b' git-3a06386e.txt
57538
real 0.337
user 0.333
sys 0.003
maxmem 46 MB
faults 0
But then again, so is grep, because grep doesn't benefit from any
literal optimizations either:
$ time grep -E -ic '\b[a-z]{3}\b\s\b[a-z]{3}\b' git-3a06386e.txt
62396
real 1.316
user 1.292
sys 0.007
maxmem 13 MB
faults 7
The count mismatch should probably be investigated.

This was probably fixed in a past commit where I bumped the regex engine
to 1.9 (or perhaps more precisely, regex-automata 0.3). But I didn't
track it as fixed at the time.
Fixes#1275
This represents yet another iteration on how `ignore` enqueues and
distributes work in parallel. The original implementation used a
multi-producer/multi-consumer thread safe queue from crossbeam. At some
point, I migrated to a simple `Arc<Mutex<Vec<_>>>` and treated it as a
stack so that we did depth first traversal. This helped with memory
usage in very wide directories.
But it turns out that a naive stack-behind-a-mutex can be quite a bit
slower than something that's a little smarter, such as a work-stealing
stack used in this commit. My hypothesis for why this helps is that
without the stealing component, work distribution can get stuck in
sub-optimal configurations that depend on which directory entries get
assigned to a particular worker. It's likely that this can result in
some workers getting "more" work than others, just by chance, and thus
remain idle. But the work-stealing approach heads that off.
This does re-introduce a dependency on parts of crossbeam which is kind
of a bummer, but it's carrying its weight for now.

When searching subdirectories the path was not correctly built and
included duplicate parts. This fix will remove the duplicate part if
possible.
Fixes#1757, Closes#2295
It turns out our fast path for -w/--word-regexp wasn't quite correct in
some cases. Namely, we use `(?m:^|\W)(<original-regex>)(?m:\W|$)` as the
implementation of -w/--word-regexp since `\b(<original-regex>)\b` has
some unintuitive results in certain cases, specifically when
<original-regex> matches non-word characters at match boundaries.
The problem is that using this formulation means that you need to
extract the capture group around <original-regex> to find the "real"
match, since the surrounding (^|\W) and (\W|$) aren't part of the match.
This is fine, but the capture group engine is usually slow, so we have a
fast path where we try to deduce the correct match boundary after an
initial match (before running capture groups). The problem is that doing
this is rather tricky because it's hard to know, in general, whether the
`^` or the `\W` matched.
This still doesn't seem quite right overall, but we at least fix one
more case.
Fixes#2574
Previously, sorting worked by sorting the parents and then sorting the
children within each parent. This was done during traversal, but it only
works when sorting parents preserves the overall order. This generally
only works for '--sort path' in ascending order.
This commit fixes the rest of the sorting behavior by collecting all of
the paths to search and then sorting them before searching. We only
collect all of the paths when sorting was requested.

This causes ripgrep to stop searching an individual file after it has

*.adb and *.ads are the usual extensions for Ada source code,

When the extra-verbose style is set for the types tag, completed types
are displayed along with the patterns they correspond to. This can be
enabled by e.g. adding the following to .zshrc:
zstyle ':completion:*:rg:*:types' extra-verbose true
This change also makes _rg_types use the actual rg specified on the
command line to look up types, and it fixes a mangled complete-all
style check

This matches the behavior of GNU grep which does not ignore
before-context and after-context completely if the context flag is also
provided.
Note that this change wasn't done just to match GNU grep. In this case,
GNU grep has the more sensible behavior.
Fixes#2288, Closes#2451
This was originally fixed by using non-capturing groups when joining
patterns in crates/core/args.rs, but before that landed, it ended up
getting fixed via a refactor in the course of migrating to regex 1.9.
Namely, it's now fixed by pushing pattern joining down into the regex
layer, so that patterns can be joined in the most effective way
possible.
Still, #2488 contains a useful test, so we bring that in here. The
test actually failed for `rg -e ')('`, since it expected the command to
fail with a syntax error. But my refactor actually causes this command
to succeed. And indeed, #2488 worked around this by special casing a
single pattern. That work-around fixes it for the single pattern case,
but doesn't fix it for the -w or -X or multi-pattern case. So for now,
we're content to leave well enough alone. The only real way to fix this
for real is to parse each regexp individual and verify that each is
valid on its own. It's not clear that doing so is worth it.
Fixes#2480, Closes#2488
GraphQL file extensions: .graphql and .graphqls (schema)
We could also add `.gql`, but perhaps it's less correct to do so. We'll
start conservatively here, and we can always add `.gql` later.

When `resolve_binary()` attempts to resolve a path to a program on
Windows while searching for a program in `PATH` without an extension,
`ripgrep` will assume the extension of the file to be `.exe` as it's
the *de facto* standard, which will work most (99.99%) of the time...
...unless the binary is a COM executable (we're on Windows, duh).
Closes#2523
When a glob pattern ended with a \/, and since we permit backslash
escapes, the glob parser gave a "dangling escape" error. Which is weird,
because the \ is clearly not dangling.
The issue is that the layer above the glob parser, the gitignore parser,
was stripping the trailing / so that it wouldn't be part of the matching
logic. Of course, stripping the trailing / while it is escaped without
removing the backslash escape is wrong. So we do that here.
Fixes#2236
Sadly, PCRE2 has different behavior (but doesn't panic). We should look
into that, but for now, this is good enough.
Also, update the CHANGELOG.
