Add String() methods to types, so they can be printed with %s. Change
some %s format specifiers to %v, when the default string representation
is good enough. In Go 1.10, `go test` triggers a parallel `go vet`. So
this also makes fzf pass `go test`.

One can escape meta characters in extended-search mode with backslashes.
Prefixes:
\'
\!
\^
Suffix:
\$
Term separator:
\<SPACE>
To keep things simple, we are not going to support escaping of escaped
sequences (e.g. \\') for matching them literally.
Since this is a breaking change, we will bump the minor version.
Close#444
Manually inline function calls in a tight loop as Go compiler does not
inline non-leaf functions. It is observed that this unpleasant code
change resulted up to 10% performance improvement.
When --with-nth is used, fzf used to preprocess each line and store the
result as rune array, which was wasteful if the line only contains ascii
characters.
By not storing item index twice, we can cut down the size of Result
struct and now it makes more sense to store and pass Results by values.
Benchmarks show no degradation of performance by additional pointer
indirection for looking up index.
Make sure to consistently calculate tiebreak scores based on the
original line.
This change may not be preferable if you filter aligned tabular input on
a subset of columns using --nth. However, if we calculate length
tiebreak only on the matched components instead of the entire line, the
result can be very confusing when multiple --nth components are
specified, so let's keep it simple and consistent.
Close#926
This is a breaking change, but I believe it makes much more sense. It is
almost impossible to predict which entries will be filtered out due to
a fuzzy inverse term. You can still perform inverse-fuzzy-match by
prepending `!'` to the term.
| Token | Match type | Description |
| -------- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `sbtrkt` | fuzzy-match | Items that match `sbtrkt` |
| `^music` | prefix-exact-match | Items that start with `music` |
| `.mp3$` | suffix-exact-match | Items that end with `.mp3` |
| `'wild` | exact-match (quoted) | Items that include `wild` |
| `!fire` | inverse-exact-match | Items that do not include `fire` |
| `!.mp3$` | inverse-suffix-exact-match | Items that do not end with `.mp3` |
- Make structs smaller
- Introduce Result struct and use it to represent matched items instead of
reusing Item struct for that purpose
- Avoid unnecessary memory allocation
- Avoid growing slice from the initial capacity
- Code cleanup
In the best case (all ascii), this reduces the memory footprint by 60%
and the response time by 15% to 20%. In the worst case (every line has
non-ascii characters), 3 to 4% overhead is observed.
When we prepend a single quote to our query in --exact mode, we are not
supposed to limit the scope of the new search to the previous
exact-match result.
Based on the patch by Matt Westcott (@mjwestcott).
But with a more conservative approach:
- Does not use linearly increasing penalties; It is agreed upon that we
should prefer matching characters at the beginnings of the words, but
it's not always clear that the relevance is inversely proportional to
the distance from the beginning.
- The approach here is more conservative in that the bonus is never
large enough to override the matchlen, so it can be thought of as the
first implicit tiebreak criterion.
- One may argue the change breaks the contract of --tiebreak, but the
judgement depends on the definition of "tie".
This change improves sort ordering for aligned tabular input.
Given the following input:
apple juice 100
apple pie 200
fzf --nth=2 will now prefer the one with pie. Before this change fzf
compared "juice " and "pie ", both of which have the same length.
I profiled fzf and it turned out that it was spending significant amount
of time repeatedly converting character arrays into Unicode codepoints.
This commit greatly improves search performance after the initial scan
by memoizing the converted results.
This commit also addresses the problem of unbounded memory usage of fzf.
fzf is a short-lived process that usually processes small input, so it
was implemented to cache the intermediate results very aggressively with
no notion of cache expiration/eviction. I still think a proper
implementation of caching scheme is definitely an overkill. Instead this
commit introduces limits to the maximum size (or minimum selectivity) of
the intermediate results that can be cached.
