* A backward search along one long line takes time in the line's length, not ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | its square: ?a? over 117 KB goes from 6.4 s to 0.03 s The 9P fuzzer (seed 124) hung a session for over 5 s on `?a?` in a 117 KB file of one line. A backward search is every forward match up to the limit, so Regex.find ran once per match. Each call looked back from its start to the line's start, and forward to the line's end, over the whole line each time. That is quadratic, and the step budget, which counts only mvzr's steps, never saw it. find now keeps where it last learned a line starts and ends in the same text, and looks back only to there. The literal prefix's look back stops at the known part of the line. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A pattern anchoring some alternatives with ^ and not others is refused with ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | why, not a bare bad regular expression `^def|x` and `foo$|^zèbre` were refused with a bare "bad regular expression", the same words as a syntax error, so a script could not tell what to change. They now say "an alternation anchors every branch with ^ or none (^a|^b, not ^a|b)", through addr and Edit alike. fs.md states the rule and that a `$` does not count toward it (`foo$|bar` is fine).

* A class with non-ASCII runes matches them: [éa-z] is taken as (é|[a-z]), a ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | range up to 256 runes spelled out mvzr's classes hold bytes, and it refused a multibyte member as a bad expression. Rewriting the class before compiling, as ^a|^b already is, needs no mvzr patch; runes that differ only in their last byte go as one alternative (\xc3[\xa0-\xbf] for [à-ÿ]) so a 256-rune range fits the 512-operation limit, which counts the pattern as rewritten. A wider range and [^é] are refused, naming why. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A search whose pattern opens with a literal jumps to where that literal is, ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | not through every line Finding /line 049999/ in 1171 KB took 175.5 ms (Debug), each line run through mvzr's matcher in turn. The literal prefix (none when the pattern has a | anywhere) is found with indexOfPos first and matching starts on its line: 4.44 ms. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A pattern up to 512 characters compiles; a longer one is refused naming the ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | limit mvzr's Regex holds 64 operations, so a pattern much past 64 bytes was refused as bad regular expression. pardes now compiles into mvzr's SizedRegex(512, 64), and a pattern that is too long (told apart from a malformed one by compiling it with room) says it is longer than mvzr's 512 operations.

* A ^ after | anchors its branch: ^def|^ finds lines starting either wayGabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | mvzr takes ^ only at its pattern's start, so in ^def|^ the second branch never matched mid-text. An alternation whose every top-level branch starts with ^ is now compiled as ^(def| ); a mix of anchored and unanchored branches is refused rather than silently wrong.

* A pattern with a newline and an anchor mvzr would misread is refused EINVAL, ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | as the doc says Its words named no malformed input, so 9ns read the refusal as EIO, and Edit's failed EIO directly. It now says bad regular expression: ..., and Edit's failure with those words is EINVAL too. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* $ may end any alternative in a pattern, not only the lastGabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | | | mvzr refuses $ anywhere but at the very end, so /h$|zz/ and Edit ,x/r$|pi/ were bad patterns while /zz|h$/ worked. Its matcher already ends an alternative at .end, so a build-time patch, anchor-checked like the group one, lets $ stand before | and ). The upstream report is in docs/mvzr-group-backtrack.md.

* A repeat inside a regexp group gives back to what follows the groupGabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On aab, /a+ab/ matched but /(a+)ab/ and /(a*)ab/ missed, and so did (.+)_area and ([a-z_]+)_area, in addr, Edit and look alike. mvzr's hasAlt counts a group's own ) as an alternative, so every group with pattern after it takes matchGroup's alternatives branch, which never tries a repeat's shorter matches. No newer mvzr fixes it (trunk is the pinned commit), so the build patches the fetched source as it does the step budget, anchor-checked: when the rest fails after a group, the group's shorter matches are tried, longest first. docs/mvzr-group-backtrack.md is a report for upstream.

* / ^ in a pattern with \n matches at every line start, and a ^ or $ that cannot ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
|/ | | | | | | | work is refused A pattern naming a newline runs over the whole text, where mvzr's ^ is only the text's start: /^def .*\n/ from #0 failed, and Edit ,x/^def .*\n/.../ silently did nothing. A leading ^ is now tried at each line start from the search's own; $ just before \n is dropped, as it changes nothing; any other ^ or $ in such a pattern is refused with why, since mvzr would read it as the text's ends. ^ inside an alternation holds only where a search starts, an mvzr limit, documented.

* A regular expression search is bounded by a step budget patched into mvzr, ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | not windows and a repeat cap The windows returned wrong matches: a candidate reaching a window's edge was left to the next window, half a window on, which could answer a match starting mid-token rather than the leftmost, and addr then pointed data's next write at the wrong bytes. The repeat cap missed mvzr's own worst case, a chain of a?, and alternation under a repeat, each exponential inside one mvzr call the deadline could not interrupt; and it refused ordinary s/S patterns. build.zig now patches the fetched mvzr at build time with a step counter on its backtracking recursion (matchPattern), so a fresh fetch keeps it and a moved anchor stops the build; regexp.zig gives each compiled pattern a budget, about 300 ms here, and a search that spends it fails as taking too long. Windows, the cap and their special cases are gone, and matches are exact again. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* A regular expression search comes back: costly patterns refused, long lines ↵Gabriel Schneider27 hours
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | windowed, 300 ms deadline mvzr backtracks with no bound on its work (a*a*a*a*x over a hundred a's takes a second, each repeat multiplying by the haystack length), and a search runs holding the editor's turn, so one pasted pattern froze the editor. pardes does not write or vendor a regex engine, so regexp.zig bounds what it hands mvzr: more than four repeats is refused, a line longer than a window sized from measured worst cases is searched in half-overlapping windows, and a deadline stops the search. addr names each failure; normal s/S keeps what it found. The prescan also stops reading an escaped backslash before n as a newline, and ends a class where mvzr does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
* Normal mode's s and S search as addr does, through one shared regexp.zigGabriel Schneider27 hours
The sam-style calling convention for mvzr (a line per haystack, . made [^\\n] only when a pattern names \\n) lived in addr.zig; normal mode's s and S called mvzr over the raw selection, where ^ meant the selection's start and . crossed lines. src/regexp.zig now holds the one Regex (compile, find) both call, and fs.zig and pardes.zig drop an unused mvzr import. hxdiff and hxparity stay at their known 17 and 6 mismatches, none of them regex cases.
