This removes the need to allocate a new string for each line when used
with -f, -d or -i. Instead, a custom string comparison algorithm takes
care of these cases.
The resulting performance improvement is about 20% per flag (i.e. there
is a 60% improvement when combining all three flags)
As a side-effect, the size of the Line struct was reduced from 96 to 80
bytes, reducing the overhead for each line.
* ls: added creation time
* ls: Added most time features
Missing support for posix-,Format+, translating via locales. Also required more tests
* ls: rustfmt
* ls: Additional changes and fixes
Fixed the argument order, fixed a wrong iso format.
* ls: additional tests for styles
* ls: perfected arg parsing on time styles
* fix birthime test
* ls: Use 'stdout_str' in new tests
* ls: Disabled birthtime test for windows
* ls: removed indoc as a dependency
* ls: birthime test, sync first created file
* ls: birthime test, add comment explaining sync
* Removed ruby testfile birth_test.rb
This accidentally got commited in a merge
Note, I needed to change the error messages in one of the tests because
getopt and clap have different error messages when not providing a
default value
* Change unchecked unwrapping to unwrap_or_default for argument parsing (resolving #1845)
* Added unit-testing for the collect_str function on invalid utf8 OsStrs
* Added a warning-message for identification purpose to the collect_str method.
* - Add removal of wrongly encoded empty strings to basename
- Add testing of broken encoding to basename
- Changed UCommand to use collect_str in args method to allow for integration testing of that method
- Change UCommand to use unwarp_or_default in arg method to match the behaviour of collect_str
* Trying out a new pattern for convert_str for getting a feeling of how the API feels with more control
* Adding convenience API for compact calls
* Add new API to everywhere, fix test for basename
* Added unit-testing for the conversion options
* Added unit-testing for the conversion options for windows
* fixed compilation and some merge hiccups
* Remove windows tests in order to make merge request build
* Fix formatting to match rustfmt for the merged file
* Improve documentation of the collect_str method and the unit-tests
* Fix compilation problems with test

* ls: ignore leading period when sorting by name
ls now behaves like GNU ls with respect to sorting files by ignoring
leading periods when sorting by main.
Added tests to ensure "touch a .a b .b ; ls" returns ".a a .b b"
* Replaced clone/collect calls.
* Use buffered stdout to reduce write sys calls.
This simple change yielded the biggest performace gain.
* Use `for_byte_record_with_terminator` from the `bstr` crate.
This is to minimize the per line copying needed by
`BufReader::read_until`. The `cut_fields` and `cut_fields_delimiter`
functions used `read_until` to iterate over lines. That required copying
each input line to the line buffer. With
`for_byte_record_with_terminator` copying is minimized as it calls our
closure with a reference to BufReader's buffer most of the time. It
needs to copy (internally) only to process any incomplete lines at the
end of the buffer.
* Re-write `Searcher` to use `memchr`.
Switch from the naive implementation to one that uses `memchr`.
* Rewrite `cut_bytes` almost entirely.
This was already well optimized. The performance gain in this case is
not from avoiding copying. In fact, it needed zero copying whereas new
implementation introduces some copying similar to `cut_fields` described
above. But the occassional copying cost is more than offset by the use
of the very fast `memchr` inside `for_byte_record_with_terminator`.
This change also simplifies the code significantly. Removed the `buffer`
module.
This adds a --debug flag, which, when activated, will draw lines below
the characters that are actually used for comparisons.
This is not a complete implementation of --debug. It should, quoting the man page
for GNU sort: "annotate the part of the line used to sort, and warn
about questionable usage to stderr". Warning about "questionable usage"
is not part of this patch.
This change required some adjustments to be able to get the range that
is actually used for comparisons. Most notably, general numeric comparisons
were rewritten, fixing some bugs along the lines.
Testing is mostly done by adding fixtures for the expected debug output of
existing tests.
