Since acabd2048e (grep: correctly identify utf-8 characters with
\{b,w} in -P, 2023-01-08), PCRE2's UCP mode has been enabled when
UTF content was expected and therefore muktibyte characters are
included as part of all character classes (when defined).

note that if the locale used is not UTF enabled (specially: C, POSIX)
or uses an extended charmap binary that is not unicode compatible, binary
match will be used instead.

It was argued that doing so, at least for \d, was not a good idea,
as that might not be what the user expected based on its historical
meaning and was also slower, and indeed a similar change that was done
to GNU grep was reverted and required further tweaks.

At that time, PCRE2 didn't have a way to disable UCP's character
expansion selectively, but flags to do so, and that will be
available in the next release (planned soon) were added, and
one of them has been in use by GNU grep since their last release
in May (only if built and linked against the prereleased PCRE2
library though).

Add flags to make sure that both \d and [:digit:] only include
ASCII digits so that `git grep` will be closer to GNU grep and
improve performance as a side effect, but add a configuration flag
to allow keeping the current behaviour (which is closer to perl
and ripgrep).

Why do we need that extra level of indentation?

The old code turned PCRE2_UCP on by default and turned it off for older
versions.  The new code enables PCRE2_UCP only for newer versions.  The
result should be the same, no?  So why change that part at all?

But the comment is now off, isn't it?  The workaround was turning
PCRE2_UCP off for older versions (because those were broken), not
turning it on for newer versions (because it would be required by some
unfixed regression).

Do we need to nest the checks for GIT_PCRE2_VERSION_10_35_OR_HIGHER and
GIT_PCRE2_VERSION_10_43_OR_HIGHER?  Keeping them separate would help
keep the #ifdef parts as short as possible and maintainable
independently.

What's going on here?  You remove the -P option of git (--no-pager) and
add the -P option of git grep (--perl-regexp).  So this perf test never
tested PCRE despite its name?  Seems worth a separate patch.

Do the performance numbers in acabd2048e (grep: correctly identify utf-8
characters with \{b,w} in -P, 2023-01-08) still hold up in that light?

I was just trying to simplify the code by including all the logic in
one single set.

The original lack of indentation that was introduced by later fixes to
the code was IMHO also misguided since the obvious "objective" as set
in the original code that added PCRE2_UCP was that it should be used
whenever UTF was also in use as shown by
acabd2048ee0ee53728100408970ab45a6dab65e.

Of course, we soon found out that the original implementation of
PCRE2_MATCH_INVALID_UTF that came with PCRE2 10.34 was buggy and so an
exception was introduced in 14b9a044798ebb3858a1f1a1377309a3d6054ac8.

Note that the problematic code is only relevant when JIT is also
enabled, but JIT is almost always enabled.

Because it gets us a little closer to the real reason why we need to
disable UCP for anything older than 10.35, and that is that there is a
bug there that is ONLY relevant if we are using JIT.

My hope though is that with the release of 10.43 (currently in RC1),
10.34 will become irrelevant soon enough and this whole code could be
cleaned up further.

The comment was never correct, because it was turning it off, because
the combination of JIT + MATCH_INVALID_UTF (which was released in
10.34) + UCP is broken.

I thought that nesting them would make it simpler to maintain, since
there are somehow connected anyway.

The additional flags that are added in PCRE 10.43 are ONLY needed and
useful on top of PCRE2_UCP, which itself only makes sense on top of
UTF.

My original code was a dud.  This would make that at least more obvious,

FWIW the performance numbers still hold up, but just because I did the
tests independently using hyperfine, and indeed when I did the first
version of this patch, I had a nice reproducible description that
showed how to get 20% better performance while searching the git
repository itself for something like 4 digits (as used in Copyright
dates).

My idea was to reply to my own post with instructions on how to test
this, which basically require to also compile the recently released
10.43RC1 and build against that.

Indeed, AFAIK the test would fail if built with an older version of
PCRE, but wasn't sure if making a prerequisite that hardcoded the
version in test-tool might be the best approach to prevent that,
especially with all the libification work.

One level of indentation is correct because the code in question is part
of a function and it's not nested in a loop or conditional.  And
preprocessor directives don't affect the indentation of C code.  Am I
missing something?

How so?  If the same flags are set in the end then it seems like a
lateral movement to me.

Do you want to disable JIT compilation for older versions?

Cleanup is good, but if we package the workarounds nicely we can keep
them around indefinitely without them bothering us.  Debian buster
still has a few months of support left and comes with PCRE2 10.32..

The code disabled PCRE2_UCP for PCRE2 10.34 and older.  The comment
claimed that this was done as a workaround for a bug fixed in 10.35.
You seem to say the same.  What was incorrect about the comment?

This conditional stacking is complicated.  I find the old model where
we say which features we want up front and then disable buggy ones
for specific versions easier to grasp.

The change is good, but I don't see any connection to the
grep.perl.digit feature that this patch is primarily about,
so I (still) think it deserves its own patch.

Great!

OK, so this is about the grep.perl.digit feature, right?

What I meant above was: Is the statement in acabd2048e (grep: correctly
identify utf-8 characters with \{b,w} in -P, 2023-01-08) about 20-40%
performance impact (in which direction, by the way) still measurable
with the fixed perf test script?

With the fix and PCRE2 10.42 and PCRE2_UCP I get:

Test                           this tree
----------------------------------------------
7822.1: grep -P '\bhow'        0.05(0.02+0.30)
7822.2: grep -P '\bÆvar'       0.05(0.02+0.29)
7822.3: grep -P '\d+ \bÆvar'   0.05(0.02+0.27)
7822.4: grep -P '\bBelón\b'    0.04(0.02+0.23)
7822.5: grep -P '\w{12}\b'     0.03(0.02+0.13)

... and without PCRE2_UCP:

Test                           this tree
----------------------------------------------
7822.1: grep -P '\bhow'        0.05(0.02+0.26)
7822.2: grep -P '\bÆvar'       0.04(0.02+0.18)
7822.3: grep -P '\d+ \bÆvar'   0.05(0.02+0.26)
7822.4: grep -P '\bBelón\b'    0.05(0.02+0.27)
7822.5: grep -P '\w{12}\b'     0.04(0.02+0.18)

Hmm, inconclusive.  Perhaps the test data is too small?

You could extend test-pcre2-config to report whether that feature is
active.  Performance tests could set prerequisites based on its output.

No worries, I need days to reply without any detour through the
