Basically, matrix.os needs to be defined for every build. We
were commenting out some of the builds in order to debug
CI in the `include` section, but we also need to comment them
out in the `build section.
Specifically, paths contains a `/` are not allowed to match any
other slash in the path, even as a prefix. So `!.git` is the correct
incantation for ignoring a `.git` directory that occurs anywhere
in the path.
We were only using it to create temporary directories for `ignore`
tests, but it pulls in a bunch of dependencies and we don't really need
randomness. So just use our own simple wrapper instead.
Mostly this just updates regex and its assorted dependencies. This does
drop utf8-ranges and ucd-util, in accordance with changes to
regex-syntax and regex.
This commit fixes a subtle bug in how the line buffer was rolling its
contents. Specifically, when ripgrep searches without memory maps,
it uses a "roll" buffer for incremental line oriented search without
needing to read the entire file into memory at once. The roll buffer
works by reading a chunk of bytes from the file into memory, and then
searching everything in that buffer up to the last `\n` byte. The bytes
*after* the last `\n` byte are preserved, since they likely correspond
to *part* of the next line. Once ripgrep is done searching the buffer,
it "rolls" the buffer such that the start of the next line is at the
beginning of the buffer, and then ripgrep reads more data into the
buffer starting at the (possibly) partial end of that line.
The implication of this strategy, necessarily so, is that a buffer must
be big enough to fit a single line in memory. This is because the regex
engine needs a contiguous block of memory to search, so there is no way
to search anything smaller than a single line. So if a file contains a
single line with 7.5 million bytes, then the buffer will grow to be at
least that size. (Many files have super long lines like this, but they
tend to be *binary* files, which ripgrep will detect and stop searching
unless the user forces it with the `-a/--text` flag. So in practice,
they aren't usually a problem. However, in this case, #1335 found a case
where a plain text file had a line with 7.5 million bytes.)
Now, for performance reasons, ripgrep reuses these buffers across its
search. Typically, it will create `N` of these line buffers when it
starts (where `N` is the number of threads it is using), and then reuse
them without creating any new ones as it searches through files.
This means that if you search a file with a very long line, that buffer
will expand to be big enough to store that line. ripgrep never contracts
these buffers, so once it searches the next file, ripgrep will continue
to use this large buffer. While it might be prudent to contract these
buffers in some circumstances, this isn't otherwise inherently a
problem. The memory has already been allocated, and there isn't much
cost to using it, other than the fact that ripgrep hangs on to it and
never gives it back to the OS.
However, the `roll` implementation described above had a really
important bug in it that was impacted by the size of the buffer.
Specifically, it used the following to "roll" the partial line at the
end of the buffer to the beginning:
self.buf.copy_within_str(self.pos.., 0);
Which means that if the buffer is very large, ripgrep will copy
*everything* from `self.pos` (which might be very small, e.g., for small
files) to the end of the buffer, and move it to the beginning of the
buffer. This will happen repeatedly each time the buffer is used to
search small files, which winds up being quite a large slow down if the
line was exceptionally large (say, megabytes).
It turns out that copying everything is completely unnecessary. We only
need to copy the remainder of the last read to the beginning of the
buffer. Everything *after* the last read in the buffer is just free
space that can be filled for the next read. So, all we need to do is
copy just those bytes:
self.buf.copy_within_str(self.pos..self.end, 0);
... which is typically much much smaller than the rest of the buffer.
This was likely also causing small performance losses in other cases as
well. For example, when searching a lot of small files, ripgrep would
likely do a lot more copying than necessary. Although, given that the
default buffer size is 8KB, this extra copying was likely pretty small,
and was thus harder to observe.

The docker image that the Linux binary is now built in does not have
ASCII doc installed, so setup Cross to point to my own image with those
tools installed.
If a user tries to search for an explicit `\n` character in a PCRE2
regex, ripgrep won't report an error and instead will (likely) silently
fail to match.
Fixes#1261
Specifically, when searching stdin, if the current directory has a
directory named `-`, then the `--with-filename` flag would automatically
be turned on. This is because `--with-filename` is automatically enabled
when ripgrep is given a single path that is a directory. When ripgrep is
given empty arguments, and if it is searching stdin, then its default
path list is just simple `["-"]`. The `is_dir` check passes, and
`--with-filename` gets enabled.
This commit fixes the problem by checking whether the path is `-` first.
If so, then we assume it isn't a directory. This is fine, since if it is
a directory and one asks to search it explicitly, then ripgrep will
interpret `-` as stdin anyway (which is arguably a bug on its own, but
probably not one worth fixing).
Fixes#1223, Closes#1292
It turns out that when the -F flag was used, if any of the patterns
contained a regex meta character (such as `.`), then we winded up
escaping the pattern first before handing it off to Aho-Corasick, which
treats all patterns literally.
We continue to apply band-aides here and just avoid Aho-Corasick if
there is an escape in any of the literal patterns. This is unfortunate,
but making this work better requires more refactoring, and the right
solution is to get this optimization pushed down into the regex engine.
Fixes#1334
Currently the crate assumes that exactly one of `cfg(windows)` or
`cfg(unix)` is true, but this is not actually the case, for instance
when compiling for `wasm32`.
Implement the missing functions so that the crate can compile on other
platforms, even though those functions will always return an error.
