The idea is to build ripgrep with as much optimization as possible.
This makes compilation times absolutely obscene. They jump from <10
seconds to 30+ seconds on my i9-12900K. I don't even want to know how
long CI would take with these.
I tried some ad hoc benchmarks and could not notice any meaningful
improvement with the LTO binary versus the normal release profile.
Because of that, I still don't think it's worth bloating the release
cycle times.
Ref #1225
As the FIXME comment says, ripgrep is not yet using the new line
terminator option in regex-automata exposed for exactly this purpose.
Because of that, line anchors like `(?m:^)` and `(?m:$)` will only match
`\n` as a line terminator. This means that when --null-data is used in
combination with --line-regexp, the anchors inserted by --line-regexp
will not match correctly. This is only a big deal in the "fast" path,
which requires the regex engine to deal with line terminators itself
correctly. The slow path strips line terminators regardless of what they
are, and so the line anchors can match (begin/end of haystack).
Fixes#2658
And also, negated options don't take arguments.
Specifically, the fish completion generator currently forgets to add
`-l` to negation options, leading to a list of these errors:
complete: too many arguments
~/.config/fish/completions/rg.fish (line 146):
complete -c rg -n '__fish_use_subcommand' no-sort-files -d '(DEPRECATED) Sort results by file path.'
^
from sourcing file ~/.config/fish/completions/rg.fish
(Type 'help complete' for related documentation)
To reproduce, run `fish -c 'rg --generate=complete-fish | source'`.
It also potentially suggests a list of choices for negation options,
even though those never take arguments. That case doesn't occur with
any of the current options but it's an easy fix.
Fixes#2659, Closes#2655
We look for similar flag names via Jaccard index on ngrams. In my
experience this tends to work better than Levenshtein or other edit
distance based metrics. Principally because it allows for out-of-order
suggestions. For example, --case-smart will result in a suggestion for
--smart-case, even though the edit distance between them is pretty big.
This is something Clap did for us. I initially thought it wasn't
necessary to add this back in, but I realized it wouldn't be much work
and might actually be helpful to folks.
Previously, we were running 'cargo deb' locally. But the release process
is a little simpler now thanks to GitHub Actions and the 'gh' tool, so I
felt comfortable putting the 'deb' generation in CI.
Now the only real manual part of release asset creation is the M2
release, but that should hopefully be automated once GitHub makes Apple
silicon runners available for free.
