This commit completely guts all of the color handling code and replaces
most of it with two new crates: wincolor and termcolor. wincolor
provides a simple API to coloring using the Windows console and
termcolor provides a platform independent coloring API tuned for
multithreaded command line programs. This required a lot more
flexibility than what the `term` crate provided, so it was dropped.
We instead switch to writing ANSI escape sequences directly and ignore
the TERMINFO database.
In addition to fixing several bugs, this commit also permits end users
to customize colors to a certain extent. For example, this command will
set the match color to magenta and the line number background to yellow:
rg --colors 'match:fg:magenta' --colors 'line:bg:yellow' foo
For tty handling, we've adopted a hack from `git` to do tty detection in
MSYS/mintty terminals. As a result, ripgrep should get both color
detection and piping correct on Windows regardless of which terminal you
use.
Finally, switch to line buffering. Performance doesn't seem to be
impacted and it's an otherwise more user friendly option.

There were two important reasons for the switch:
1. Performance. Docopt does poorly when the argv becomes large, which is
a reasonable common use case for search tools. (e.g., use with xargs)
2. Better failure modes. Clap knows a lot more about how a particular
argv might be invalid, and can therefore provide much clearer error
messages.
While both were important, (1) made it urgent.
Note that since Clap requires at least Rust 1.11, this will in turn
increase the minimum Rust version supported by ripgrep from Rust 1.9 to
Rust 1.11. It is therefore a breaking change, so the soonest release of
ripgrep with Clap will have to be 0.3.
There is also at least one subtle breaking change in real usage.
Previous to this commit, this used to work:
rg -e -foo
Where this would cause ripgrep to search for the string `-foo`. Clap
currently has problems supporting this use case
(see: https://github.com/kbknapp/clap-rs/issues/742),
but it can be worked around by using this instead:
rg -e [-]foo
or even
rg [-]foo
and this still works:
rg -- -foo
This commit also adds Bash, Fish and PowerShell completion files to the
release, fixes a bug that prevented ripgrep from working on file
paths containing invalid UTF-8 and shows short descriptions in the
output of `-h` but longer descriptions in the output of `--help`.
Fixes#136, Fixes#189, Fixes#210, Fixes#230
This is a somewhat basic implementation of `-f-` (#7), with unit tests.
Changes include:
1. The internals of the `pattern` function have been refactored to avoid
code duplication, but there's a lot more we could do. Right now we
read the entire pattern list into a `Vec`.
2. There's now a `WorkDir::pipe` command that allows sending standard
input to `rg` when testing.
Not implemented: aho-corasick.
Previously, ignore::WalkParallel would invoke the callback for all
*explicitly* given file paths in a single thread, which effectively
meant that `rg pattern foo bar baz ...` didn't actually search foo, bar
and baz in parallel.
The code was structured that way to avoid spinning up workers if no
directory paths were given. The original intention was probably to have
a separate pool of threads responsible for searching, but ripgrep ended
up just reusing the ignore::WalkParallel workers themselves for searching,
and thereby subjected to its sub-par performance in this case.
The code has been restructured so that file paths are sent to the workers,
which brings back parallelism.
Fixes#226
Namely, passing a directory to --ignore-file caused ripgrep to allocate
memory without bound.
The issue was that I got a bit overzealous with partial error
reporting. Namely, when processing a gitignore file, we should try
to use every pattern even if some patterns are invalid globs (e.g.,
a**b). In the process, I applied the same logic to I/O errors. In this
case, it manifest by attempting to read lines from a directory, which
appears to yield Results forever, where each Result is an error of the
form "you can't read from a directory silly." Since I treated it as a
partial error, ripgrep was just spinning and accruing each error in
memory, which caused the OOM killer to kick in.
Fixes#228
This flag is similar to what's found in grep: it will suppress all error
messages, such as those shown when a particular file couldn't be read.
Closes#149
