2021-01-24grep/pcre2: better support invalid UTF-8 haystacksLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+12
Improve the support for invalid UTF-8 haystacks given a non-ASCII needle when using the PCREv2 backend. This is a more complete fix for a bug I started to fix in 870eea8166 (grep: do not enter PCRE2_UTF mode on fixed matching, 2019-07-26), now that PCREv2 has the PCRE2_MATCH_INVALID_UTF mode we can make use of it. This fixes the sort of case described in 8a5999838e (grep: stess test PCRE v2 on invalid UTF-8 data, 2019-07-26), i.e.: - The subject string is non-ASCII (e.g. "ævar") - We're under a is_utf8_locale(), e.g. "en_US.UTF-8", not "C" - We are using --ignore-case, or we're a non-fixed pattern If those conditions were satisfied and we matched found non-valid UTF-8 data PCREv2 might bark on it, in practice this only happened under the JIT backend (turned on by default on most platforms). Ultimately this fixes a "regression" in b65abcafc7 ("grep: use PCRE v2 for optimized fixed-string search", 2019-07-01), I'm putting that in scare-quotes because before then we wouldn't properly support these complex case-folding, locale etc. cases either, it just broke in different ways. There was a bug related to this the PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE flag fixed in PCREv2 10.36. It can be worked around by setting the PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE flag. Let's do that in those cases, and add tests for the bug. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
