Technically speaking, picking which timestamp to show for a file is a function of an output module, rather than the file itself. This also means that the `output::column` and `file` modules are now completely separate.
This cleans up the options module, moving the structs that were *only* in use for the columns view out of it.
The new OptionSet trait is used to add the ‘deduce’ methods that used to be present on the values.
This commit removes the threadpool in `main.rs` that stats each command-line argument separately, and replaces it with a *scoped* threadpool in `options/details.rs` that builds the table in parallel! Running this on my machine halves the execution time when tree-ing my entire home directory (which isn't exactly a common occurrence, but it's the only way to give exa a large running time)
The statting will be added back in parallel at a later stage. This was facilitated by the previous changes to recursion that made it easier to deal with.
There's a lot of large sweeping architectural changes. Here's a smattering of them:
- In `main.rs`, the files are now passed around as vectors of files rather than array slices of files. This is because `File`s aren't `Clone`, and the `Vec` is necessary to give away ownership of the files at the appropriate point.
- In the details view, files are now sorted *all* the time, rather than obeying the command-line order. As they're run in parallel, they have no guaranteed order anyway, so we *have* to sort them again. (I'm not sure if this should be the intended behaviour or not!) This means that the `Details` struct has to have the filter *all* the time, not only while recursing, so it's been moved out of the `recurse` field.
- We use `scoped_threadpool` over `threadpool`, a recent addition. It's only safely used on Nightly, which we're using anyway, so that's OK!
- Removed a bunch of out-of-date comments.
This also fixes#77, mainly by accident :)
This does a similar thing that we did with the xattrs, except with the nested files: it removes the 'this' field on File, and replaces it with a method (to_dir) that has the same effect.
This means we get to remove a bunch of 'recurse' fields and parameters that really had no business being there! Now the table doesn't need to know whether it's going to need to list files recursively or not.
This changes the way extended attributes (xattrs) are printed. Before, they were artificially printed out on their own line both in lines mode *and* details mode, which looked a bit weird. Now, they are additional 'child nodes' of that item that get printed alongside errors.
All this allows all the 'extra info' that is going to be present for very few entries to be consolidated and listed in the same way, without resorting to extra printlns.
As a great side-effect, it allows taking out some of the more redundant code in the Table impl -- it is now *always* going to be in create-child-nodes mode, as *any* file now can, not only when we have the --tree flag in use.
Also, it now actually displays errors when failing to read the extended attributes, such as if the user doesn't have permission to read them.
The extended attribute flag has been temporarily disabled while I work out the best way to do it!
Now we have one Ur-module that contains functionality common to both supported platforms.
The benefits of doing it this way are that:
1. It doesn't implement a dummy interface - rather, there will be less code generated when the feature is not present;
2. The code shared between them can be kept in sync. The other two modules were something like 80% the same.
When tree mode is active, this will print out errors as another form of child node in the tree, instead of in one big block before any output.
The 'this' field now holds the io::Result of the readdir call, rather than only a *successful* result.
This is very slow (see #28) at the moment, so there's an option to switch off repo discovery. However, they were still always being queried. Now, if there's no Git option in the flags, it won't try to discover a repo.
These replace `init()` and `tail()` which are deprecated in favour of these.
In fact, it's a good thing they're deprecated, because part of the path_prefix code involved working around a call to init() that would panic otherwise - doing the same check with an `Option` is much more ergonomic.
Colours are now disabled when output is not to a terminal. Fixes#53!
This required some internal restructuring - colours are now in their own object that gets passed around everywhere it's needed.
Exa now uses the new IO, Path, and Filesystem libraries that have been out for a while now.
Unfortunately, the new libraries don't *entirely* cover the range of the old libraries just yet: in particular, to become more cross-platform, the data in `UnstableFileStat` isn't available in the Unix `MetadataExt` yet. Much of this is contained in rust-lang/rfcs#1044 (which is due to be implemented in rust-lang/rust#14711), but it's not *entirely* there yet.
As such, this commits a serious loss of functionality: no symlink viewing, no hard links or blocks, or users or groups. Also, some of the code could now be optimised. I just wanted to commit this to sort out most of the 'teething problems' of having a different path system in advance.
Here's an example problem that took ages to fix for you, just because you read this far: when I first got exa to compile, it worked mostly fine, except calling `exa` by itself didn't list the current directory. I traced where the command-line options were being generated, to where files and directories were sorted, to where the threads were spawned... and the problem turned out to be that it was using the full path as the file name, rather than just the last component, and these paths happened to begin with `.`, so it thought they were dotfiles.
This module provides feature-specific implementations, and also dummy implementations for when they aren't supported by the system or OS.
Doing it this way limits all the #[cfg(feature)] annotations, as we can now just include the module or not.
