(or peel off the band-aid, whatever floats your boat)
This addresses two separate issues:
1.) Nothing within bsdgrep actually knew whether it cared about line numbers
or not.
2.) The file layer knew nothing about the context in which it was being
called.
#1 is only important when we're *not* processing line-by-line. #2 is
debatably a good idea; the parsing context is only handy because that's
where we store current offset information and, as of this commit, whether or
not it needs to be line-aware.
Neither procfile nor grep_tree return anything meaningful to their callers.
None of the callers actually care about how many lines were matched in all
of the files they processed; it's all about "did anything match?"
This is generally just a light refactoring to remind me of what actually
matters as I'm rewriting these bits to care less about 'stuff'.
GNU grep as in actually in base does not have any translations support
compiled in, so no functionnality loss.
We do support 193 locales in base, we will never catch up on that number of
translation with bsd grep.
Removing NLS support make bsd grep consistent with the other binaries in base
which are not translated, and also reduce a little bit the code.

It was an old TRE that had plenty of bugs and no performance gain over
regex(3). I disabled it by default in r323615, and there was some confusion
about what the knob does- likely due to poor naming on my part- to the tune
of "well, it sounds like it should speed things up" (mentioned by multiple
people).
To compound this, I have no intention of maintaining a second regex
implementation. If someone would like to step up and volunteer to maintain a
lean-and-mean implementation for grep, this is OK, but we have very few
volunteers to maintain even our primary regex implementation.
Compression support is now handled by an external script, remove it from the
bsdgrep(1) utility.
This removes the support for -Z -J -X and -M
Note: that it matches the changes in newer GNU grep

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
fgrep/grep -F will error out at runtime if compiled with a regex(3)
that does not define REG_NOSPEC or REG_LITERAL. glibc is one such regex(3)
implementation, and as it turns out they don't support literal matching at
all.
Provide a primitive literal matcher for use with glibc and other
implementations that don't support literal matching so that we don't
completely lose fgrep/grep -F if compiled against libgnuregex on stable/10,
stable/11, or other systems that we don't necessarily support.
This is a wholly unoptimized implementation with no plans to optimize it as
of now. This is due to both its use-case being primarily on unsupported
systems in the near-distant future and that it's reinventing the wheel that
we already have available as a feature of regex(3).

The following changes have been made over the last couple of months:
Features:
- With bsdgrep -r, the working directory is implied if no directory is
specified
- bsdgrep will now behave as bsdgrep -r does when it's named rgrep
- bsdgrep now understands -z/--null-data to use \0 as EOL
- GNU regex compatibility is now indicated with a "GNU compatible" in
the version string
Fixes:
- --mmap no longer hangs when coming across an EOF without an
accompanying EOL
- -o/--color matching generally improved, now produces earliest /
longest matches
- Context output now more closely aligns with GNU grep
- Zero-length matches no longer exhibit broken behavior
- Every output line now honors -b/-H/-n flags
Tests have been added for previous regressions as well as other
previously untested behaviors.
Various other fixes have been commited, and refactoring for further /
later improvements has taken place.
(The original submission changed the version string to 2.5.2, but I
decided to use 2.6.0 to reflect the addition of new features.)

Metadata printing with -b, -H, or -n flags suffered from a few flaws:
1) -b/offset printing was broken when used in conjunction with -o
2) With -o, bsdgrep did not print metadata for every match/line, just
the first match of a line
3) There were no tests for this
Address these issues by outputting this data per-match if the -o flag is
specified, and prior to outputting any matches if -o but not --color,
since --color alone will not generate a new line of output for every
iteration over the matches.
To correct -b output, fudge the line offset as we're printing matches.
While here, make sure we're using grep_printline in -A context. Context
printing should *never* look at the parsing context, just the line.
The tests included do not pass with gnugrep in base due to it exhibiting
similar quirky behavior that bsdgrep previously exhibited.

Previously, when given a negative -A/-B/-C argument bsdgrep would
overflow the respective context flag(s) and exhibited surprising
behavior.
Fix this by removing unsignedness of Aflag/Bflag and erroring out if
we're given a value < 0. Also adjust the type used to track 'tail'
context in procfile() so that it accurately reflects the Aflag value
rather than overflowing and losing trailing context.
This also fixes an inconsistency previously existing between -n and
-C "n" behavior. They are now both limited to LLONG_MAX, to be
consistent.
Add some test cases to make sure grep errors out properly for both
negative context values as well as non-numeric context values rather
than giving bogus matches.

-w flag matching with an empty pattern was generally 'broken', allowing
matches to occur on any line whether or not it actually matches -w
criteria.
This fix required a good amount of refactoring to address. procline()
is altered to *only* process the line and return whether it was a match
or not, necessary to be able to short-circuit the whole function in case
of this matchall flag. -m flag handling is moved out as well because it
suffers from the same fate as context handling if we bypass any actual
pattern matching.
The matching context (matches, mostly) didn't previously exist outside
of procline(), so we go ahead and create context object for file
processing bits to pass around. grep_printline() was created due to
this, for the scenarios where the matches don't actually matter and we
just want to print a line or two, a la flushing the context queue and
no -o or --color specified.
Damage from this broken behavior would have been mitigated by the fact
that it is unlikely users would invoke grep -w with an empty pattern.
This was identified while checking PR 105221 for problems it this may
cause in BSD grep, but PR 105221 is *not* a report of this behavior.

Bugs have been found in the fastmatch implementation as used in bsdgrep.
Some have been fixed (r316495) while fixes for others are in review
(D10098).
In comparison with the fastmatch implementation, Kyle Evans found that:
- regex(3)'s performance with literal expressions offers a speed
improvement over fastmatch
- regex(3)'s performance, both with simple BREs and EREs, seems to be
comparable
The regex implementation was imported in r226035, and the commit message
reports:
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.
Introduce a WITH_/WITHOUT_BSD_GREP_FASTMATCH knob to support testing
of both approaches.

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.
