It seems like a trifle, but if the match frequency is high enough, the
allocation+formatting of line numbers (and columns and byte offsets)
starts to matter. We squash that part of the profile in this commit by
doing our own decimal formatting. I speculate that we get a speed-up
from this by avoiding the formatting machinery and also a possible
allocation.
An alternative would be to use the `itoa` crate, and it is indeed
marginally faster in ad hoc benchmarks, but I'm satisfied enough with
this solution.
This essentially takes the work done in #2483 and does a bit of a
facelift. A brief summary:
* We reduce the hyperlink API we expose to just the format, a
configuration and an environment.
* We move buffer management into a hyperlink-specific interpolator.
* We expand the documentation on --hyperlink-format.
* We rewrite the hyperlink format parser to be a simple state machine
with support for escaping '{{' and '}}'.
* We remove the 'gethostname' dependency and instead insist on the
caller to provide the hostname. (So grep-printer doesn't get it
itself, but the application will.) Similarly for the WSL prefix.
* Probably some other things.
Overall, the general structure of #2483 was kept. The biggest change is
probably requiring the caller to pass in things like a hostname instead
of having the crate do it. I did this for a couple reasons:
1. I feel uncomfortable with code deep inside the printing logic
reaching out into the environment to assume responsibility for
retrieving the hostname. This feels more like an application-level
responsibility. Arguably, path canonicalization falls into this same
bucket, but it is more difficult to rip that out. (And we can do it
in the future in a backwards compatible fashion I think.)
2. I wanted to permit end users to tell ripgrep about their system's
hostname in their own way, e.g., by running a custom executable. I
want this because I know at least for my own use cases, I sometimes
log into systems using an SSH hostname that is distinct from the
system's actual hostname (usually because the system is shared in
some way or changing its hostname is not allowed/practical).
I think that's about it.
Closes#665, Closes#2483
I originally did not put PathPrinter into grep-printer because I
considered it somewhat extraneous to what a "grep" program does, and
also that its implementation was rather simple. But now with hyperlink
support, its implementation has grown a smidge more complicated. And
more importantly, its existence required exposing a lot more of the
hyperlink guts. Without it, we can keep things like HyperlinkPath and
HyperlinkSpan completely private.
We can now also keep `PrinterPath` completely private as well. And this
is a breaking change.
Like a previous commit did for the grep-cli crate, this does some
polishing to the grep-printer crate. We aren't able to achieve as much
as we did with grep-cli, but we at least eliminate all rust-analyzer
lints and group imports in the way I've been doing recently.
Next we'll start doing some more invasive changes.
This commit represents the initial work to get hyperlinks working and
was submitted as part of PR #2483. Subsequent commits largely retain the
functionality and structure of the hyperlink support added here, but
rejigger some things around.
This furthers our kludge of dealing with PCRE2's look-around in the
printer. Because of our bad abstraction boundaries, we added a kludge to
deal with PCRE2 look-around by extending the bytes we search by a fixed
amount to hopefully permit any look-around to operate. But because of
that kludge, we wind up over extending ourselves in some cases and
dragging along those extra bytes.
We had fixed this for simple searching by simply rejecting any matches
past the end point. But we didn't do the same for replacements. So this
commit extends our kludge to replacements.
Thanks to @sonohgong for diagnosing the problem and proposing a fix. I
mostly went with their solution, but adding the new replacement routine
as an internal helper rather than a new APIn in the 'grep-matcher'
crate.
Fixes#2095, Fixes#2208
This fixes a bug where PCRE2 look-around could change the result of a
match if it observed a line terminator in the printer. And in
particular, this is precisely how the searcher operates: the line is
considered unto itself *without* the line terminator.
Fixes#1401
This commit hacks in a bug fix for handling look-around across multiple
lines. The main problem is that by the time the matching lines are sent
to the printer, the surrounding context---which some look-behind or
look-ahead might have matched---could have been dropped if it wasn't
part of the set of matching lines. Therefore, when the printer re-runs
the regex engine in some cases (to do replacements, color matches, etc
etc), it won't be guaranteed to see the same matches that the searcher
found.
Overall, this is a giant clusterfuck and suggests that the way I divided
the abstraction boundary between the printer and the searcher is just
wrong. It's likely that the searcher needs to handle more of the work of
matching and pass that info on to the printer. The tricky part is that
this additional work isn't always needed. Ultimately, this means a
serious re-design of the interface between searching and printing. Sigh.
The way this fix works is to smuggle the underlying buffer used by the
searcher through into the printer. Since these bugs only impact
multi-line search (otherwise, searches are only limited to matches
across a single line), and since multi-line search always requires
having the entire file contents in a single contiguous slice (memory
mapped or on the heap), it follows that the buffer we pass through when
we need it is, in fact, the entire haystack. So this commit refactors
the printer's regex searching to use that buffer instead of the intended
bundle of bytes containing just the relevant matching portions of that
same buffer.
There is one last little hiccup: PCRE2 doesn't seem to have a way to
specify an ending position for a search. So when we re-run the search to
find matches, we can't say, "but don't search past here." Since the
buffer is likely to contain the entire file, we really cannot do
anything here other than specify a fixed upper bound on the number of
bytes to search. So if look-ahead goes more than N bytes beyond the
match, this code will break by simply being unable to find the match. In
practice, this is probably pretty rare. I believe that if we did a
better fix for this bug by fixing the interfaces, then we'd probably try
to have PCRE2 find the pertinent matches up front so that it never needs
to re-discover them.
Fixes#1412
The top-level listing was just getting a bit too long for my taste. So
put all of the code in one directory and shrink the large top-level mess
to a small top-level mess.
NOTE: This commit only contains renames. The subsequent commit will
actually make ripgrep build again. We do it this way with the naive hope
that this will make it easier for git history to track the renames.
Sigh.
