This commit goes a long way toward refactoring glob sets so that the
code is easier to maintain going forward. In particular, it makes the
literal optimizations that glob sets used a lot more structured and much
easier to extend. Tests have also been modified to include glob sets.
There's still a bit of polish work left to do before a release.
This also fixes the immediate issue where large gitignore files were
causing ripgrep to slow way down. While we don't technically fix it for
good, we're a lot better about reducing the number of regexes we
compile. In particular, if a gitignore file contains thousands of
patterns that can't be matched more simply using literals, then ripgrep
will slow down again. We could fix this for good by avoiding RegexSet if
the number of regexes grows too large.
Fixes#134.
Use-case: While not a vogue technology, VB is still a common file type taught in many university settings and used in many commercial settings. Working with VB files out-of-the-box would provide a lot of value to `ripgrep` users.
Example: I'm working on converting a legacy app to a modern infrastructure. The legacy app mixes CS and VB files liberally, so I always need to check both. For portability, it would be nice to just be able to ask for `-tcs -tvb` without registering with `--type-add` first.
Tests: I didn't notice any coverage aimed at this part of the code, but if I'm mistaken I'll amend the PR.
For example, when only a single file (or stdin) is being searched, then we
should be able to print directly to the terminal instead of intermediate
buffers. (The buffers are only necessary for parallelism.)
Closes#4.
We do this by avoiding using a RegexSet (*sigh*). In particular, file
type matching has much simpler semantics than gitignore files, so we don't
actually need to care which file type matched. Therefore, we can get away
with a single regex with a giant alternation.
- Refactored interaction between CLI args and rest of xrep.
- Filling in a lot more options, including file type filtering.
- Fixing some bugs in globbing/ignoring.
- More documentation.
