This flag, when set, will automatically dispatch to PCRE2 if the given
regex cannot be compiled by Rust's regex engine. If both engines fail to
compile the regex, then both errors are surfaced.
Closes#1155
The default stack size is 32KB, and this increases it to 10MB. 32KB is
pretty paltry in the environments in which ripgrep runs, and 10MB is
easily afforded as a maximum size. (The size limit we set for Rust's
regex engine is considerably larger.)
This was motivated due to the fack that JIT stack limits have been
observed to be hit in the wild:

This flag is commonly used in pipelines and it can be annoying to write
it out every time you need it.
Ideally, we would use -h for this to match GNU grep, but -h is used to
print help output.
Closes#1185
This sets up the release announcement and briefly describes the
versioning change. The actual version change itself won't happen until
the release.
Closes#1172
This commit adds support for showing a preview of long lines. While the
default still remains as completely suppressing the entire line, this
new functionality will show the first N graphemes of a matching line,
including the number of matches that are suppressed.
This was unfortunately a fairly invasive change to the printer that
required a bit of refactoring. On the bright side, the single line
and multi-line coloring are now more unified than they were before.
Closes#1078
This commit attempts to surface binary filtering in a slightly more
user friendly way. Namely, before, ripgrep would silently stop
searching a file if it detected a NUL byte, even if it had previously
printed a match. This can lead to the user quite reasonably assuming
that there are no more matches, since a partial search is fairly
unintuitive. (ripgrep has this behavior by default because it really
wants to NOT search binary files at all, just like it doesn't search
gitignored or hidden files.)
With this commit, if a match has already been printed and ripgrep detects
a NUL byte, then it will print a warning message indicating that the search
stopped prematurely.
Moreover, this commit adds a new flag, --binary, which causes ripgrep to
stop filtering binary files, but in a way that still avoids dumping
binary data into terminals. That is, the --binary flag makes ripgrep
behave more like grep's default behavior.
For files explicitly specified in a search, e.g., `rg foo some-file`,
then no binary filtering is applied (just like no gitignore and no
hidden file filtering is applied). Instead, ripgrep behaves as if you
gave the --binary flag for all explicitly given files.
This was a fairly invasive change, and potentially increases the UX
complexity of ripgrep around binary files. (Before, there were two
binary modes, where as now there are three.) However, ripgrep is now a
bit louder with warning messages when binary file detection might
otherwise be hiding potential matches, so hopefully this is a net
improvement.
Finally, the `-uuu` convenience now maps to `--no-ignore --hidden
--binary`, since this is closer to the actualy intent of the
`--unrestricted` flag, i.e., to reduce ripgrep's smart filtering. As a
consequence, `rg -uuu foo` should now search roughly the same number of
bytes as `grep -r foo`, and `rg -uuua foo` should search roughly the
same number of bytes as `grep -ra foo`. (The "roughly" weasel word is
used because grep's and ripgrep's binary file detection might differ
somewhat---perhaps based on buffer sizes---which can impact exactly what
is and isn't searched.)
See the numerous tests in tests/binary.rs for intended behavior.

An alternate can be empty at this point, so we must handle it. We didn't
before because the regex engine actually disallows empty alternates,
however, this code runs before the regex compiler rejects the regex.
This includes:
*.dtd for Document Type Definitions
*.xsl and *.xslt for XSL Transformation descriptions
*.xsd for XML Schema definitions
*.xjb for JAXB bindings
*.rng for Relax NG files
*.sch for Schematron files

This makes the case of searching for a dictionary of a very large number
of literals much much faster. (~10x or so.) In particular, we achieve this
by short-circuiting the construction of a full regex when we know we have
a simple alternation of literals. Building the regex for a large dictionary
(>100,000 literals) turns out to be quite slow, even if it internally will
dispatch to Aho-Corasick.
Even that isn't quite enough. It turns out that even *parsing* such a regex
is quite slow. So when the -F/--fixed-strings flag is set, we short
circuit regex parsing completely and jump straight to Aho-Corasick.
We aren't quite as fast as GNU grep here, but it's much closer (less than
2x slower).
In general, this is somewhat of a hack. In particular, it seems plausible
that this optimization could be implemented entirely in the regex engine.
Unfortunately, the regex engine's internals are just not amenable to this
at all, so it would require a larger refactoring effort. For now, it's
good enough to add this fairly simple hack at a higher level.
Unfortunately, if you don't pass -F/--fixed-strings, then ripgrep will
be slower, because of the aforementioned missing optimization. Moreover,
passing flags like `-i` or `-S` will cause ripgrep to abandon this
optimization and fall back to something potentially much slower. Again,
this fix really needs to happen inside the regex engine, although we
might be able to special case -i when the input literals are pure ASCII
via Aho-Corasick's `ascii_case_insensitive`.
Fixes#497, Fixes#838
This commit adds a new encoding feature where the -E/--encoding flag
will now accept a value of 'none'. When given this value, all encoding
related machinery is disabled and ripgrep will search the raw bytes of
the file, including the BOM if it's present.
Closes#1207, Closes#1208
This is useful for debugging to see what regex is actually being run.
We put this as a trace since the regex can be quite gnarly. (It is not
pretty printed.)
When looking for an inner literal to speed up searches, if only a prefix
is found, then we generally give up doing inner literal optimizations since
the regex engine will generally handle it for us. Unfortunately, this
decision was being made *before* we wrap the regex in (^|\W)...($|\W) when
using the -w/--word-regexp flag, which would then defeat the literal
optimizations inside the regex engine.
We fix this with a bit of a hack that says, "if we're doing a word regexp,
then give me back any literal you find, even if it's a prefix."
This tweaks the path handling functions slightly to make them a hair
faster. In particular, `file_name` is called on every path that ripgrep
visits, and it was possible to remove a few branches without changing
behavior.
This simplifies the various path related functions and pushed more platform
dependent code down into bstr. This likely also makes things a bit more
efficient on Windows, since we now only do a single UTF-8 check for each
file path.
This lets us implement correct Unicode trimming and also simplifies the
parsing logic a bit. This also removes the last platform specific bits of
code in ripgrep core.
This starts the usage of bstr in the printer. We don't use it too much
yet, but it comes in handy for implementing PrinterPath and lets us push
down some platform specific code into bstr.
This commit causes grep-searcher to use byte strings internally for its
line buffer support. We manage to remove a use of `unsafe` by doing this
(by pushing it down into `bstr`).
We stop short of using byte strings everywhere else because we rely
heavily on the `impl ops::Index<[u8]> for grep_matcher::Match` impl,
which isn't available for byte strings. (It is premature to make bstr a
public dep of a core crate like grep-matcher, but maybe some day.)
