grep: simplify config parsing and option parsing
Simplify the parsing of "grep.patternType" and "grep.extendedRegexp". This changes no behavior, but gets rid of complex parsing logic that isn't needed anymore. When "grep.patternType" was introduced in 84befcd0a4a (grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting, 2012-08-03) we promised that: 1. You can set "grep.patternType", and "[setting it to] 'default' will return to the default matching behavior". In that context "the default" meant whatever the configuration system specified before that change, i.e. via grep.extendedRegexp. 2. We'd support the existing "grep.extendedRegexp" option, but ignore it when the new "grep.patternType" option is set. We said we'd only ignore the older "grep.extendedRegexp" option "when the `grep.patternType` option is set to a value other than 'default'". In a preceding commit we changed grep_config() to be called after grep_init(), which means that much of the complexity here can go away. As before both "grep.patternType" and "grep.extendedRegexp" are last-one-wins variable, with "grep.extendedRegexp" yielding to "grep.patternType", except when "grep.patternType=default". Note that as the previously added tests indicate this cannot be done on-the-fly as we see the config variables, without introducing more state keeping. I.e. if we see: -c grep.extendedRegexp=false -c grep.patternType=default -c extendedRegexp=true We need to select ERE, since grep.patternType=default unselects that variable, which normally has higher precedence, but we also need to select BRE in cases of: -c grep.extendedRegexp=true \ -c grep.extendedRegexp=false Which would not be the case for this, which select ERE: -c grep.patternType=extended \ -c grep.extendedRegexp=false Therefore we cannot do this on-the-fly in grep_config without also introducing tracking variables for not only the pattern type, but what the source of that pattern type was. So we need to decide on the pattern after our config was fully parsed. Let's do that by deferring the decision on the pattern type until it's time to compile it in compile_regexp(). By that time we've not only parsed the config, but also handled the command-line options. Those will set "opt.pattern_type_option" (*not* "opt.extended_regexp_option"!). At that point all we need to do is see if "grep.patternType" was UNSPECIFIED in the end (including an explicit "=default"), if so we'll use the "grep.extendedRegexp" configuration, if any. See my 07a3d411739 (grep: remove regflags from the public grep_opt API, 2017-06-29) for addition of the two comments being removed here, i.e. the complexity noted in that commit is now going away. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-v8-09.10-c211bb0c69d-20220118T155211Z-avarab@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
