Ævar Arnfjörð BjarmasonRemove the hidden "grep --debug" and "log --grep-debug" options added in 17bf35a3c7b (grep: teach --debug option to dump the parse tree, 2012-09-13).
At the time these options seem to have been intended to go along with a documentation discussion and to help the author of relevant tests to perform ad-hoc debugging on them[1].
Reasons to want this gone:
1. They were never documented, and the only (rather trivial) use of
them in our own codebase for testing is something I removed back
in e01b4dab01e (grep: change non-ASCII -i test to stop using
--debug, 2017-05-20). 2. Googling around doesn't show any in-the-wild uses I could dig up,
and on the Git ML the only mentions after the original discussion
seem to have been when they came up in unrelated diff contexts, or
that test commit of mine. 3. An exception to that is c581e4a7499 (grep: under --debug, show
whether PCRE JIT is enabled, 2019-08-18) where we added the
ability to dump out when PCREv2 has the JIT in effect. The combination of that and my earlier b65abcafc7a (grep: use PCRE
v2 for optimized fixed-string search, 2019-07-01) means Git prints
this out in its most common in-the-wild configuration: $ git log --grep-debug --grep=foo --grep=bar --grep=baz --all-match
pcre2_jit_on=1
pcre2_jit_on=1
pcre2_jit_on=1
[all-match]
(or
pattern_body<body>foo
(or
pattern_body<body>bar
pattern_body<body>baz
)
) $ git grep --debug \( -e foo --and -e bar \) --or -e baz
pcre2_jit_on=1
pcre2_jit_on=1
pcre2_jit_on=1
(or
(and
patternfoo
patternbar
)
patternbaz
)I.e. for each pattern we're considering for the and/or/--all-match etc. debugging we'll now diligently spew out another identical line saying whether the PCREv2 JIT is on or not.
I think that nobody's complained about that rather glaringly obviously bad output says something about how much this is used, i.e. it's not.
The need for this debugging aid for the composed grep/log patterns seems to have passed, and the desire to dump the JIT config seems to have been another one-off around the time we had JIT-related issues on the PCREv2 codepath. That the original author of this debugging facility seemingly hasn't noticed the bad output since then[2] is probably some indicator.
