a6e0be3c90
This is a bit of a brutal change, but I believe is necessary in order to fix a bug in how we handle the "max matches" limit in multi-line mode while simultaneously handling context lines correctly. The main problem here is that "max matches" refers to the shorter of "one match per line" or "a single match." In typical grep, matches *can't* span multiple lines, so there's never a difference. But in multi-line mode, they can. So match counts necessarily must be handled differently for multi-line mode. The printer was previously responsible for this. But for $reasons, the printer is fundamentally not in charge of how matches are found and reported. See my comments in #3094 for even more context. This is a breaking change for `grep-printer`. Fixes #3076, Closes #3094
ripgrep core
This is the core ripgrep crate. In particular, main.rs is where the main
function lives.
Most of ripgrep core consists of two things:
- The definition of the CLI interface, including docs for every flag.
- Glue code that brings the
grep-matcher,grep-regex,grep-searcherandgrep-printercrates together to actually execute the search.
Currently, there are no plans to make ripgrep core available as an independent library. However, much of the heavy lifting of ripgrep is done via its constituent crates, which can be reused independent of ripgrep. Unfortunately, there is no guide or tutorial to teach folks how to do this yet.
