René Scharfe 79286102ce grep: simplify assignment of ->fixed
After 885d211e, the value of the ->fixed pattern option only depends on
the grep option of the same name.  Regex flags don't matter any more,
because fixed mode and regex mode are strictly separated.  Thus we can
simply copy the value from struct grep_opt to struct grep_pat, as we do
already for ->word_regexp and ->ignore_case.

Benjamin Kramer 24072c0256 grep: use REG_STARTEND (if available) to speed up regexec
BSD and glibc have an extension to regexec which takes a buffer + length pair
instead of a NUL-terminated string. Since we already have the length computed
this can save us a strlen call inside regexec.

Make git grep use threads when it is available.

The results below are best of five runs in the Linux repository (on a
box with two cores).

And with a pattern with quite a few matches:

With the patch:

In either case we gain about 40% by the threading.

Junio C Hamano 80235ba79e "log --author=me --grep=it" should find intersection, not union
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.

Junio C Hamano 885d211e71 grep: rip out pessimization to use fixmatch()
Even when running without the -F (--fixed-strings) option, we checked the
pattern and used fixmatch() codepath when it does not contain any regex
magic.  Finding fixed strings with strstr() surely must be faster than
running the regular expression crud.

Not so.  It turns out that on some libc implementations, using the
regcomp()/regexec() pair is a lot faster than running strstr() and
strcasestr() the fixmatch() codepath uses.  Drop the optimization and use
the fixmatch() codepath only when the user explicitly asked for it with
the -F option.

Junio C Hamano a26345b608 grep: optimize built-in grep by skipping lines that do not hit
The internal "grep" engine we use checks for hits line-by-line, instead of
letting the underlying regexec()/fixmatch() routines scan for the first
match from the rest of the buffer.  This was a major source of overhead
compared to the external grep.

Introduce a "look-ahead" mechanism to find the next line that would
potentially match by using regexec()/fixmatch() in the remainder of the
text to skip unmatching lines, and use it when the query criteria is
simple enough (i.e. punt for an advanced grep boolean expression like
"lines that have both X and Y but not Z" for now) and we are not running
under "-v" (aka "--invert-match") option.

Note that "-L" (aka "--files-without-match") is not a reason to disable
this optimization.  Under the option, we are interested if the file has
any hit at all, and that is what we determine reliably with or without the
optimization.

René Scharfe 49de321698 grep: handle pre context lines on demand
Factor out pre context line handling into the new function
show_pre_context() and change the algorithm to rewind by looking for
newline characters and roll forward again, instead of maintaining an
array of line beginnings and ends.

This is slower for hits, but the cost for non-matching lines becomes
zero.  Normally, there are far more non-matching lines, so the time
spent in total decreases.

The command "git grep -w ''" dies as soon as it encounters an empty line,
reporting (wrongly) that "regexp returned nonsense".  The first hunk of
this patch relaxes the sanity check that is responsible for that,
allowing matches to start at the end.

The second hunk complements it by making sure that empty matches are
rejected if -w was specified, as they are not really words.

GNU grep does the same:

	$ echo foo | grep -c ''
	1
	$ echo foo | grep -c -w ''

René Scharfe e701fadb9e grep: fix word-regexp colouring
As noticed by Dmitry Gryazin: When a pattern is found but it doesn't
start and end at word boundaries, bol is forwarded to after the match and
the pattern is searched again.  When a pattern is finally found between
word boundaries, the match offsets are off by the number of characters
that have been skipped.

This patch corrects the offsets to be relative to the value of bol as
passed to match_one_pattern() by its caller.

René Scharfe fb62eb7fab grep -w: forward to next possible position after rejected match
grep -w accepts matches between non-word characters, only.  If a match
from regexec() doesn't meet this criteria, grep continues its search
after the first character of that match.

We can be a bit smarter here and skip all positions that follow a word
character first, as they can't match our criteria.  This way we can
consume characters quite cheaply and don't need to special-case the
handling of the beginning of a line.

Here's a contrived example command on msysgit (best of five runs):

	$ time git grep -w ...... v1.6.1 >/dev/null

	real    0m1.611s
	user    0m0.000s

	real    0m1.179s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.015s

Junio C Hamano a4d7d2c6db log --author/--committer: really match only with name part
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.

Junio C Hamano 85023577a8 simplify inclusion of system header files.
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.

 (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
     xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;

 (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
     our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
     builtin.h, pkt-line.h);

 (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
     need not be included in individual C source files.

 (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
     specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

Junio C Hamano 0ab7befa31 grep --all-match
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.

Junio C Hamano a3f5d02edb grep: fix --fixed-strings combined with expression.
"git grep --fixed-strings -e GIT --and -e VERSION .gitignore"
misbehaved because we did not notice this needs to grab lines
that have the given two fixed strings at the same time.

Junio C Hamano 480c1ca6fd Update grep internal for grepping only in head/body
This further updates the built-in grep engine so that we can say
something like "this pattern should match only in head".  This
can be used to simplify grepping in the log messages.

Junio C Hamano 83b5d2f5b0 builtin-grep: make pieces of it available as library.
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.
