The functionality we use from compgen is not much, we can do the same manually, with drastical improvements in speed, specially when dealing with only a few words. This patch also has the sideffect that brekage reported by Jeroen Meijer and SZEDER Gábor gets fixed because we no longer expand the resulting words. Here are some numbers filtering N amount of words: == 1 == original: 0.002s new: 0.000s == 10 == original: 0.002s new: 0.000s == 100 == original: 0.003s new: 0.002s == 1000 == original: 0.012s new: 0.011s == 10000 == original: 0.056s new: 0.066s == 100000 == original: 2.669s new: 0.622s If the results are not narrowed: == 1 == original: 0.002s new: 0.000s == 10 == original: 0.002s new: 0.001s == 100 == original: 0.004s new: 0.004s == 1000 == original: 0.020s new: 0.015s == 10000 == original: 0.101s new: 0.355s == 100000 == original: 2.850s new: 31.941s So, unless 'git checkout <tab>' usually gives you more than 100000 results, you'll get an improvement :) Other possible solutions perform better after 1000 words, but worst if less than that: COMPREPLY=($(awk -v cur="$3" -v pre="$2" -v suf="$4" '$0 ~ cur { print pre$0suf }' <<< "$1" )) COMPREPLY=($(printf -- "$2%s$4\n" $1 | grep "^$2$3")) Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@xxxxxxxxx> --- contrib/completion/git-completion.bash | 15 ++++++++++----- t/t9902-completion.sh | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash b/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash index 90b54ab..d8009f5 100644 --- a/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash +++ b/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash @@ -197,11 +197,16 @@ fi __gitcompadd () { - COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$1" -P "$2" -S "$4" -- "$3")) + local i=0 + for x in $1; do + if [[ "$x" == "$3"* ]]; then + COMPREPLY[i++]="$2$x$4" + fi + done } -# Generates completion reply with compgen, appending a space to possible -# completion words, if necessary. +# Generates completion reply, appending a space to possible completion words, +# if necessary. # It accepts 1 to 4 arguments: # 1: List of possible completion words. # 2: A prefix to be added to each possible completion word (optional). @@ -221,8 +226,8 @@ __gitcomp () esac } -# Generates completion reply with compgen from newline-separated possible -# completion words by appending a space to all of them. +# Generates completion reply from newline-separated possible completion words +# by appending a space to all of them. # It accepts 1 to 4 arguments: # 1: List of possible completion words, separated by a single newline. # 2: A prefix to be added to each possible completion word (optional). diff --git a/t/t9902-completion.sh b/t/t9902-completion.sh index b752f4d..6d9d141 100755 --- a/t/t9902-completion.sh +++ b/t/t9902-completion.sh @@ -165,7 +165,7 @@ test_expect_success '__gitcomp - suffix' ' EOF ' -test_expect_failure '__gitcomp - doesnt fail because of invalid variable name' ' +test_expect_success '__gitcomp - doesnt fail because of invalid variable name' ' __gitcomp "$invalid_variable_name" ' @@ -204,7 +204,7 @@ test_expect_success '__gitcomp_nl - no suffix' ' EOF ' -test_expect_failure '__gitcomp_nl - doesnt fail because of invalid variable name' ' +test_expect_success '__gitcomp_nl - doesnt fail because of invalid variable name' ' __gitcomp_nl "$invalid_variable_name" ' @@ -332,7 +332,7 @@ test_expect_success 'complete tree filename with spaces' ' EOF ' -test_expect_failure 'complete tree filename with metacharacters' ' +test_expect_success 'complete tree filename with metacharacters' ' echo content >"name with \${meta}" && git add . && git commit -m meta && -- 1.8.2.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
