This commit causes grep-searcher to use byte strings internally for its
line buffer support. We manage to remove a use of `unsafe` by doing this
(by pushing it down into `bstr`).
We stop short of using byte strings everywhere else because we rely
heavily on the `impl ops::Index<[u8]> for grep_matcher::Match` impl,
which isn't available for byte strings. (It is premature to make bstr a
public dep of a core crate like grep-matcher, but maybe some day.)
This undoes the patch to stop using bytecount on big-endian
architectures. In particular, we bump our bytecount dependency to the
latest release, which has a fix.
This reverts commit a4868b8835.
Fixes#1144 (again), Closes#1194
This patches out bytecount's "fast" vectorized algorithm on big-endian
machines, where it has been observed to fail. Going forward, bytecount
should probably fix this on their end, but for now, we take a small
performance hit on big-endian machines.
Fixes#1144
libripgrep is not any one library, but rather, a collection of libraries
that roughly separate the following key distinct phases in a grep
implementation:
1. Pattern matching (e.g., by a regex engine).
2. Searching a file using a pattern matcher.
3. Printing results.
Ultimately, both (1) and (3) are defined by de-coupled interfaces, of
which there may be multiple implementations. Namely, (1) is satisfied by
the `Matcher` trait in the `grep-matcher` crate and (3) is satisfied by
the `Sink` trait in the `grep2` crate. The searcher (2) ties everything
together and finds results using a matcher and reports those results
using a `Sink` implementation.
Closes#162
