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`.

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 undoes the patch to stop using bytecount on big-endian
architectures. In particular, we bump our bytecount dependency to the
latest release, which has a fix.
This reverts commit a4868b8835.
Fixes#1144 (again), Closes#1194
This brings in an updated `encoding_rs` crate that uses `packed_simd`,
which compiles on the latest nightly. Compilation times do appear to be
impacted significantly though.
Fixes#1175 (again)
This commit fixes a bug where ripgrep only treated files beginning with
a `.` as hidden. On Windows, we continue this tradition, but
additionally check whether a file has the special Windows "hidden"
attribute set. If so, we treat it as a hidden file.
In order to make this work without an additional stat call, we had to
rearrange some of the plumbing from the directory traverser.
Fixes#1154
This fixes a bug where a BOM prefix was included. While this was somewhat
intentional in order to have a faithful "UTF8 passthru" option, in
practice, this causes problems such as breaking patterns like `^` in a
really non-obvious way.
The actual fix was to add a new API to encoding_rs_io, which this commit
brings in.
Fixes#1163
bytecount now uses runtime dispatch for enabling SIMD, which means we can
no longer need the avx-accel features. We remove it from ripgrep since the
next release will be a minor version bump, but leave them as no-ops for
the crates that previously used it.
This commit is the result of doing:
$ cargo update
$ cargo update -p encoding_rs --precise 0.8.10
where the latter line prevents encoding_rs from updating to 0.8.11 (or
newer). In particular, the 0.8.11 release increased the minimum Rust
version to 1.29, where as ripgrep 0.10.x is still on 1.28. We stay on an
older version for now until ripgrep is ready to move to 0.11.x.
This also requires corresponding updates to both rand and rand_core. Doing
an update of rand without doing an update of rand_core results in
compilation errors because two distinct versions of rand_core are included
in the build, and the traits they expose are distinct and incompatible.
We also switch over to using tempfile instead of tempdir, which drops the
last remaining thing keeping rand 0.4 in the build.
Fixes#1141, Fixes#1142
This brings in some new Unicode properties, such as \p{Emoji}.
It is now also technically possible construct a regex that recognizes
grapheme clusters.
This commit moves a lot of "utility" code from ripgrep core into
grep-cli. Any one of these things might not be worth creating a new
crate, but combining everything together results in a fair number of a
convenience routines that make up a decent sized crate.
There is potentially more we could move into the crate, but much of what
remains in ripgrep core is almost entirely dealing with the number of
flags we support.
In the course of doing moving things to the grep-cli crate, we clean up
a lot of gunk and improve failure modes in a number of cases. In
particular, we've fixed a bug where other processes could deadlock if
they write too much to stderr.
Fixes#990
