We were only using it to create temporary directories for `ignore`
tests, but it pulls in a bunch of dependencies and we don't really need
randomness. So just use our own simple wrapper instead.
Mostly this just updates regex and its assorted dependencies. This does
drop utf8-ranges and ucd-util, in accordance with changes to
regex-syntax and regex.
This brings in a bug fix that no longer tries to run `git` to update the
submodule if the `git` command doesn't exist.
This is useful is more restricted build contexts where `git` isn't
installed. Such as in the docker image used for running `cross`.
It turns out that musl's allocator is slow enough to cause a fairly
noticeable performance regression when ripgrep is built as a static
binary with musl. We fix this by using jemalloc when building with musl.
We continue to use the default system allocator in all other scenarios.
Namely, glibc's allocator doesn't noticeably regress performance compared
to jemalloc. But we could add more targets to this logic if other
system allocators (macOS, Windows) prove to be slow.
This wasn't necessary before because rustc recently stopped using jemalloc
by default.
Fixes#1268
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
