# 226261 11-Oct-2011 gabor

MFC 226035, 226047:

Update BSD grep to the latest development version. It has some code
backported that was written for the TRE integration project in Google
Summer of Code 2011. This is a temporary solution until the whole
regex library is not replaced so that BSD grep development can continue
and the backported code gets some review and testing. This change only
improves scalability slightly, there is no big performance boost yet
but several minor bugs have been found and fixed.

# 220422 07-Apr-2011 gabor

- Adjust a comment to actual behaviour
- Makefile nit
- Add more CVS/SVN keywords to make it easier to track changes from NetBSD
in case they add further improvements

# 211463 18-Aug-2010 gabor

- Refactor file reading code to use pure syscalls and an internal buffer
instead of stdio. This gives BSD grep a very big performance boost,
its speed is now almost comparable to GNU grep.

# 211364 15-Aug-2010 gabor

- Revert strlcpy() changes to memcpy() because it's more efficient and
former may be safer but in this case it doesn't add extra
safety [1]
- Fix -w option [2]
- Fix handling of GREP_OPTIONS [3]
- Fix --line-buffered
- Make stdin input imply --line-buffered so that tail -f can be piped
to grep [4]
- Imply -h if single file is grepped, this is the GNU behaviour
- Reduce locking overhead to gain some more performance [5]
- Inline some functions to help the compiler better optimize the code
- Use shortcut for empty files [6]

# 210389 22-Jul-2010 gabor

Add BSD grep to the base system and make it our default grep.

Deliverables: Small and clean code (1,4 KSLOC vs GNU's 8,5 KSLOC),
lower memory usage than GNU grep, GNU compatibility,
BSD license.

TODO: Performance is somewhat behind GNU grep but it is only
significant for bigger searches. The reason is complex, the
most important factor is that GNU grep uses lots of
optimizations to improve the speed of the regex library.
First, we need a modern regex library (practically by adopting
TRE), add support for GNU-style non-standard regexes and then
reevalute the performance issues and look for bottlenecks. In
the meantime, for those, who need better performance, it is
possible to build GNU grep by setting WITH_GNU_GREP.
