This feature causes nothing but problems and is frequently broken. The only optimization it was enabling were SIMD optimizations for transcoding. In particular, for UTF-16 transcoding. This is performed by the [`encoding_rs`](https://github.com/hsivonen/encoding_rs) crate, which specifically uses unstable portable SIMD APIs instead of the stable non-portable SIMD APIs. SIMD optimizations that apply to search have long been making use of stable APIs, and are automatically enabled when your target supports them. This is, IMO, the correct user experience and one that `encoding_rs` refuses to support. I'm done dealing with it, so transcoding will only use scalar code until the SIMD optimizations in `encoding_rs` work on stable. (This doesn't mean that `encoding_rs` has to change. This could also be fixed by stabilizing `std::simd`.) Fixes #2748
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.
