2012-08-03grep: add a grep.patternType configuration settingLibravatar J Smith1-0/+10
The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags. Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed", "perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior respectively. When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp behavior.

2012-05-25Merge branch 'rs/maint-grep-F'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
"git grep -e '$pattern'", unlike the case where the patterns are read from a file, did not treat individual lines in the given pattern argument as separate regular expressions as it should.
2012-05-20grep: support newline separated pattern listLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+1
Currently, patterns that contain newline characters don't match anything when given to git grep. Regular grep(1) interprets patterns as lists of newline separated search strings instead. Implement this functionality by creating and inserting extra grep_pat structures for patterns consisting of multiple lines when appending to the pattern lists. For simplicity, all pattern strings are duplicated. The original pattern is truncated in place to make it contain only the first line.

2012-02-02grep: respect diff attributes for binary-nessLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
There is currently no way for users to tell git-grep that a particular path is or is not a binary file; instead, grep always relies on its auto-detection (or the user specifying "-a" to treat all binary-looking files like text). This patch teaches git-grep to use the same attribute lookup that is used by git-diff. We could add a new "grep" flag, but that is unnecessarily complex and unlikely to be useful. Despite the name, the "-diff" attribute (or "diff=foo" and the associated diff.foo.binary config option) are really about describing the contents of the path. It's simply historical that diff was the only thing that cared about these attributes in the past. And if this simple approach turns out to be insufficient, we still have a backwards-compatible path forward: we can add a separate "grep" attribute, and fall back to respecting "diff" if it is unset.

2012-02-02grep: cache userdiff_driver in grep_sourceLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
Right now, grep only uses the userdiff_driver for one thing: looking up funcname patterns for "-p" and "-W". As new uses for userdiff drivers are added to the grep code, we want to minimize attribute lookups, which can be expensive. It might seem at first that this would also optimize multiple lookups when the funcname pattern for a file is needed multiple times. However, the compiled funcname pattern is already cached in struct grep_opt's "priv" member, so multiple lookups are already suppressed.

2012-02-02grep: drop grep_buffer's "name" parameterLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Before the grep_source interface existed, grep_buffer was used by two types of callers: 1. Ones which pulled a file into a buffer, and then wanted to supply the file's name for the output (i.e., git grep). 2. Ones which really just wanted to grep a buffer (i.e., git log --grep). Callers in set (1) should now be using grep_source. Callers in set (2) always pass NULL for the "name" parameter of grep_buffer. We can therefore get rid of this now-useless parameter.

2012-02-02grep: refactor the concept of "grep source" into an objectLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+22
The main interface to the low-level grep code is grep_buffer, which takes a pointer to a buffer and a size. This is convenient and flexible (we use it to grep commit bodies, files on disk, and blobs by sha1), but it makes it hard to pass extra information about what we are grepping (either for correctness, like overriding binary auto-detection, or for optimizations, like lazily loading blob contents). Instead, let's encapsulate the idea of a "grep source", including the buffer, its size, and where the data is coming from. This is similar to the diff_filespec structure used by the diff code (unsurprising, since future patches will implement some of the same optimizations found there). The diffstat is slightly scarier than the actual patch content. Most of the modified lines are simply replacing access to raw variables with their counterparts that are now in a "struct grep_source". Most of the added lines were taken from builtin/grep.c, which partially abstracted the idea of grep sources (for file vs sha1 sources). Instead of dropping the now-redundant code, this patch leaves builtin/grep.c using the traditional grep_buffer interface (which now wraps the grep_source interface). That makes it easy to test that there is no change of behavior (yet). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-02-02grep: move sha1-reading mutex into low-level codeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+17
The multi-threaded git-grep code needs to serialize access to the thread-unsafe read_sha1_file call. It does this with a mutex that is local to builtin/grep.c. Let's instead push this down into grep.c, where it can be used by both builtin/grep.c and grep.c. This will let us safely teach the low-level grep.c code tricks that involve reading from the object db. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-02-02grep: make locking flag globalLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The low-level grep code traditionally didn't care about threading, as it doesn't do any threading itself and didn't call out to other non-thread-safe code. That changed with 0579f91 (grep: enable threading with -p and -W using lazy attribute lookup, 2011-12-12), which pushed the lookup of funcname attributes (which is not thread-safe) into the low-level grep code. As a result, the low-level code learned about a new global "grep_attr_mutex" to serialize access to the attribute code. A multi-threaded caller (e.g., builtin/grep.c) is expected to initialize the mutex and set "use_threads" in the grep_opt structure. The low-level code only uses the lock if use_threads is set. However, putting the use_threads flag into the grep_opt struct is not the most logical place. Whether threading is in use is not something that matters for each call to grep_buffer, but is instead global to the whole program (i.e., if any thread is doing multi-threaded grep, every other thread, even if it thinks it is doing its own single-threaded grep, would need to use the locking). In practice, this distinction isn't a problem for us, because the only user of multi-threaded grep is "git-grep", which does nothing except call grep. This patch turns the opt->use_threads flag into a global flag. More important than the nit-picking semantic argument above is that this means that the locking functions don't need to actually have access to a grep_opt to know whether to lock. Which in turn can make adding new locks simpler, as we don't need to pass around a grep_opt. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

As a side effect of using kwset two grep tests are fixed by this patch. The first is fixed because kwset can deal with case-insensitive search containing NULs, something strcasestr cannot do. The second one is fixed because we consider patterns containing NULs as fixed strings (regcomp cannot accept patterns with NULs).

2010-09-13log --author: take union of multiple "author" requestsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
In the olden days, log --author=me --committer=him --grep=this --grep=that used to be turned into: (OR (HEADER-AUTHOR me) (HEADER-COMMITTER him) (PATTERN this) (PATTERN that)) showing my patches that do not have any "this" nor "that", which was totally useless. 80235ba ("log --author=me --grep=it" should find intersection, not union, 2010-01-17) improved it greatly to turn the same into: (ALL-MATCH (HEADER-AUTHOR me) (HEADER-COMMITTER him) (OR (PATTERN this) (PATTERN that))) That is, "show only patches by me and committed by him, that have either this or that", which is a lot more natural thing to ask. We however need to be a bit more clever when the user asks more than one "author" (or "committer"); because a commit has only one author (and one committer), they ought to be interpreted as asking for union to be useful. The current implementation simply added another author/committer pattern at the same top-level for ALL-MATCH to insist on matching all, finding nothing. Turn log --author=me --author=her \ --committer=him --committer=you \ --grep=this --grep=that into (ALL-MATCH (OR (HEADER-AUTHOR me) (HEADER-AUTHOR her)) (OR (HEADER-COMMITTER him) (HEADER-COMMITTER you)) (OR (PATTERN this) (PATTERN that))) instead.

Colorize the filename, line number, and separator in git grep output, as GNU grep does. The colors are customizable through color.grep.<slot>. The default is to only color the separator (in cyan), since this gives the biggest legibility increase without overwhelming the user with colors. GNU grep also defaults cyan for the separator, but defaults to magenta for the filename and to green for the line number, as well. There is one difference from GNU grep: When a binary file matches without -a, GNU grep does not color the <file> in "Binary file <file> matches", but we do. Like GNU grep, if --null is given, the null separators are not colored. For config.txt, use a a sub-list to describe the slots, rather than a single paragraph with parentheses, since this is much more readable.

2010-01-25"log --author=me --grep=it" should find intersection, not unionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Historically, any grep filter in "git log" family of commands were taken as restricting to commits with any of the words in the commit log message. However, the user almost always want to find commits "done by this person on that topic". With "--all-match" option, a series of grep patterns can be turned into a requirement that all of them must produce a match, but that makes it impossible to ask for "done by me, on either this or that" with: log --author=me --committer=him --grep=this --grep=that because it will require both "this" and "that" to appear. Change the "header" parser of grep library to treat the headers specially, and parse it as: (all-match-OR (HEADER-AUTHOR me) (HEADER-COMMITTER him) (OR (PATTERN this) (PATTERN that) ) ) Even though the "log" command line parser doesn't give direct access to the extended grep syntax to group terms with parentheses, this change will cover the majority of the case the users would want. This incidentally revealed that one test in t7002 was bogus. It ran: log --author=Thor --grep=Thu --format='%s' and expected (wrongly) "Thu" to match "Thursday" in the author/committer date, but that would never match, as the timestamp in raw commit buffer does not have the name of the day-of-the-week.

The default is to not pass any option, because the external grep command could be a program without color support.

2009-03-07grep: remove grep_opt argument from match_expr_eval()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+1
The only use of the struct grep_opt argument of match_expr_eval() is to pass the option word_regexp to match_one_pattern(). By adding a pattern flag for it we can reduce the number of function arguments of these two functions, as a cleanup and preparation for adding more in the next patch.

2009-01-09grep: don't call regexec() for fixed stringsLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+1
Add the new flag "fixed" to struct grep_pat and set it if the pattern is doesn't contain any regex control characters in addition to if the flag -F/--fixed-strings was specified. This gives a nice speed up on msysgit, where regexec() seems to be extra slow. Before (best of five runs): $ time git grep grep v1.6.1 >/dev/null real 0m0.552s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s $ time git grep -F grep v1.6.1 >/dev/null real 0m0.170s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.015s With the patch: $ time git grep grep v1.6.1 >/dev/null real 0m0.173s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s The difference is much smaller on Linux, but still measurable.

2008-10-01git grep: Add "-z/--null" option as in GNU's grep.Libravatar Raphael Zimmerer1-0/+1
Here's a trivial patch that adds "-z" and "--null" options to "git grep". It was discussed on the mailing-list that git's "-z" convention should be used instead of GNU grep's "-Z". So things like 'git grep -l -z "$FOO" | xargs -0 sed -i "s/$FOO/$BOO/"' do work now. Signed-off-by: Raphael Zimmerer <killekulla@rdrz.de> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2008-09-04log --author/--committer: really match only with name partLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
When we tried to find commits done by AUTHOR, the first implementation tried to pattern match a line with "^author .*AUTHOR", which later was enhanced to strip leading caret and look for "^author AUTHOR" when the search pattern was anchored at the left end (i.e. --author="^AUTHOR"). This had a few problems: * When looking for fixed strings (e.g. "git log -F --author=x --grep=y"), the regexp internally used "^author .*x" would never match anything; * To match at the end (e.g. "git log --author='google.com>$'"), the generated regexp has to also match the trailing timestamp part the commit header lines have. Also, in order to determine if the '$' at the end means "match at the end of the line" or just a literal dollar sign (probably backslash-quoted), we would need to parse the regexp ourselves. An earlier alternative tried to make sure that a line matches "^author " (to limit by field name) and the user supplied pattern at the same time. While it solved the -F problem by introducing a special override for matching the "^author ", it did not solve the trailing timestamp nor tail match problem. It also would have matched every commit if --author=author was asked for, not because the author's email part had this string, but because every commit header line that talks about the author begins with that field name, regardleses of who wrote it. Instead of piling more hacks on top of hacks, this rethinks the grep machinery that is used to look for strings in the commit header, and makes sure that (1) field name matches literally at the beginning of the line, followed by a SP, and (2) the user supplied pattern is matched against the remainder of the line, excluding the trailing timestamp data.

2006-09-27grep --all-matchLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
This lets you say: git grep --all-match -e A -e B -e C to find lines that match A or B or C but limit the matches from the files that have all of A, B and C. This is different from git grep -e A --and -e B --and -e C in that the latter looks for a single line that has all of these at the same time. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-09-20Update grep internal for grepping only in head/bodyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7

2006-09-20builtin-grep: make pieces of it available as library.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+71
This makes three functions and associated option structures from builtin-grep available from other parts of the system. * options to drive built-in grep engine is stored in struct grep_opt; * pattern strings and extended grep expressions are added to struct grep_opt with append_grep_pattern(); * when finished calling append_grep_pattern(), call compile_grep_patterns() to prepare for execution; * call grep_buffer() to find matches in the in-core buffer. This also adds an internal option "status_only" to grep_opt, which suppresses any output from grep_buffer(). Callers of the function as library can use it to check if there is a match without producing any output. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
