It's not quite clear why I added this originally. ripgrep doesn't have
its `-a` flag enabled. It's possible I tricked myself into adding it
because ripgrep's binary detection has evolved to be more like GNU
grep's nowadays.
In any case, using `-a` on data that is non-binary can only improve
performance because it removes the overhead for checking whether the
data is binary or not. So this was giving an artificial boost to GNU
grep.
None of these tools got particularly popular (except for pt briefly),
but they do not appear to be active projects nowadays. While ucg was
fast, sift and pt were ecscruiating slow in a number of cases that
required special care in the benchmarks.
This also fixes the ordering of benchmark output to reflect the ordering
in the source of the benchsuite script.
Since the English subtitle file actually changed its content, we tweak
the benchmark to use a slightly bigger sample that more closely matches
the file size of the Russian subtitle file.
Also, the BurntSushi/linux repo has been updated and I've confirmed that
it builds on my Linux machine.
Fixes#1257
This should bring a compilation time improvement when building static
buils of PCRE2 by enabling parallelism for C compilation.
Kudos to @JoshTriplett for the tip!
We use '+++' syntax to output a literal '**' for a '--glob' example.
This '+++' syntax is pretty ugly when rendered literally via --help. We
fix this by hackily inserting the '+++' syntax for its one specific case
that we need it during man page generation.
Not ideal but it works. And --help still has some '*foo*' markup, but we
live with that for now.
Fixes#1581
The steps are numerous, subtle and complex enough that it's worth
writing them down. In particular, getting the order correct is
important. (i.e., If we released to crates.io first and the GitHub
release infrastructure failed, then we'd be in a pickle.)
Adds `WalkBuilder::filter_entry` that takes a predicate to be applied to
all entries. If the predicate returns `false` on a given entry, that
entry and all children will be skipped.
Fixes#1555, Closes#1557
While Linux distributions (at least Arch Linux, RHEL, Debian) do not support
compressing files with compress(1), macOS & AIX do (the utility is part of
POSIX). Additionally, gzip is able to uncompress such compressed files and
provides an `uncompress` binary.
Closes#1547
