1.23.0 is the first Rust release of 2018 and is around half a year old,
which seems old enough to move to. This also lets us bring in encoding_rs
0.8, which includes performance optimizations.
This commit makes Gitignore::empty a bit faster by avoiding allocation
and manually specializing the implementation instead of routing it through
the GitignoreBuilder.
This helps improve uses of ripgrep that traverse *many* directories, and
in particular, when the use of ignores is disabled via command line
switches.
Fixes#835, Closes#836
This commit removes the previous smart case detection logic and replaces
it with detection based on the regex AST. This particular AST is a faithful
representation of the concrete syntax, which lets us be very precise in
how we handle it.
Closes#851
This update brings with it many bug fixes:
* Better error messages are printed overall. We also include
explicit call out for unsupported features like backreferences
and look-around.
* Regexes like `\s*{` no longer emit incomprehensible errors.
* Unicode escape sequences, such as `\u{..}` are now supported.
For the most part, this upgrade was done in a straight-forward way. We
resist the urge to refactor the `grep` crate, in anticipation of it
being rewritten anyway.
Note that we removed the `--fixed-strings` suggestion whenever a regex
syntax error occurs. In practice, I've found that it results in a lot of
false positives, and I believe that its use is not as paramount now that
regex parse errors are much more readable.
Closes#268, Closes#395, Closes#702, Closes#853
