Tavian Barnes d938e955af ignore: use work-stealing stack instead of Arc<Mutex<Vec<_>>>
This represents yet another iteration on how `ignore` enqueues and
distributes work in parallel. The original implementation used a
multi-producer/multi-consumer thread safe queue from crossbeam. At some
point, I migrated to a simple `Arc<Mutex<Vec<_>>>` and treated it as a
stack so that we did depth first traversal. This helped with memory
usage in very wide directories.

But it turns out that a naive stack-behind-a-mutex can be quite a bit
slower than something that's a little smarter, such as a work-stealing
stack used in this commit. My hypothesis for why this helps is that
without the stealing component, work distribution can get stuck in
sub-optimal configurations that depend on which directory entries get
assigned to a particular worker. It's likely that this can result in
some workers getting "more" work than others, just by chance, and thus
remain idle. But the work-stealing approach heads that off.

This does re-introduce a dependency on parts of crossbeam which is kind
of a bummer, but it's carrying its weight for now.

ignore

The ignore crate provides a fast recursive directory iterator that respects various filters such as globs, file types and .gitignore files. This crate also provides lower level direct access to gitignore and file type matchers.

Build status

Dual-licensed under MIT or the UNLICENSE.

Documentation

https://docs.rs/ignore

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ignore = "0.4"

Example

This example shows the most basic usage of this crate. This code will recursively traverse the current directory while automatically filtering out files and directories according to ignore globs found in files like .ignore and .gitignore:

use ignore::Walk;

for result in Walk::new("./") {
    // Each item yielded by the iterator is either a directory entry or an
    // error, so either print the path or the error.
    match result {
        Ok(entry) => println!("{}", entry.path().display()),
        Err(err) => println!("ERROR: {}", err),
    }
}

Example: advanced

By default, the recursive directory iterator will ignore hidden files and directories. This can be disabled by building the iterator with WalkBuilder:

use ignore::WalkBuilder;

for result in WalkBuilder::new("./").hidden(false).build() {
    println!("{:?}", result);
}

See the documentation for WalkBuilder for many other options.
