Code Review

This pull request introduces support for .gitignore style filtering, which is a valuable addition. The implementation includes a state machine for pattern matching and a parser for ignore rules. The code is generally well-structured.

I've found a couple of areas that need attention, including a critical issue in the parser logic and a medium-severity issue in how directory-specific rules are checked. Addressing these will improve the correctness and robustness of the new feature.

Summary of Findings

• Parser Logic Error: A critical error in IgnoreParser.parse (lines 151-163) causes double processing of the first path component in certain patterns, leading to incorrect ignore rule state machines.
• Directory-Specific Rule Handling: In IgnoreRule.check (lines 88-90), directory-specific rules might incorrectly ignore or exclude non-directory entries instead of returning .None.

Merge Readiness

This pull request makes good progress on adding .gitignore support. However, due to the critical parsing issue identified (and a medium-severity logic concern), I recommend that these changes be addressed before merging. Once these issues are resolved, the feature will be much more robust. I am not authorized to approve pull requests, so please ensure further review and approval after the changes are made.

There appears to be a critical issue in the parsing logic for rule components. The current approach using it.first() (line 151) to peek at the first component, potentially processing it in lines 153-154, and then iterating with while (it.next()) (line 157) can lead to the first component being processed twice. This is because it.first() does not advance the iterator.

For example, with a pattern like "a/b":

1. input[start..end] would be "a/b".
2. first_item (line 151) would be "a".
3. The if condition on line 152 would be true.
4. Lines 153-154 would push State{ .anything = true } and then State{ .exact = "a" }.
5. The while (it.next()) loop on line 157 would then again process "a" as its first item, followed by "b".
   This would result in an incorrect state machine like [any, a, a, b] instead of the expected [any, a, b] for a pattern like "a/b" (which implies **/a/b).

This could lead to incorrect matching behavior. Consider refactoring this section to correctly handle the implicit ** for non-anchored patterns and then iterate through all components once.

A revised approach might involve:

1. Checking if input[start..end] starts with /.
2. If not (and the pattern is not empty), add the initial State{ .anything = true }.
3. Then, use a single while (it.next()) loop to process all components, ensuring to skip any empty components that arise (e.g., from a leading / or //).

        // Corrected logic to avoid double-processing of the first component.
        const current_pattern_slice = input[start..end];
        if (current_pattern_slice.len > 0 && !std.mem.startsWith(u8, current_pattern_slice, "/")) {
            // Pattern is not anchored and not empty, so prepend 'anything' (like '**')
            try rule.pushState(State{ .anything = true });
        }

        // 'it' is already initialized from input[start..end] on line 150.
        // Now, iterate through its components.
        while (it.next()) |component| {
            if (component.len == 0) {
                // Skip empty components. These arise from:
                // - A leading slash (e.g., "/foo" -> "" then "foo"). The "" is skipped.
                // - Consecutive slashes (e.g., "foo//bar" -> "foo", "", "bar"). The "" is skipped.
                continue;
            }

            if (std.mem.eql(u8, "**", component)) {
                // Add 'anything' state, but avoid duplicates if the last state was also 'anything'.
                if (rule.state_machine.items.len == 0 or rule.state_machine.items[rule.state_machine.items.len - 1] != .{.anything = true}) {
                    try rule.pushState(State{ .anything = true });
                }
            } else {
                try rule.pushState(State{ .exact = component });
            }
        }

The current logic for directory-specific rules seems to have an issue. If a rule is specific to directories (i.e., self.is_dir is true, often from a pattern ending in /), and the file_entry being checked is not a directory, this rule should simply not apply to the entry. In such a case, the function should return .None.

Currently, if self.is_dir is true and file_entry.kind != .directory, it returns .Ignore (or .Exclude if self.is_exclude is true). This could lead to incorrectly ignoring or excluding files.

For example, if the rule is build/ (ignore the build directory) and we are checking a file named other_file.txt, this rule should not cause other_file.txt to be ignored. However, the current logic would return .Ignore.

Could you clarify if this behavior is intended, or if it should return .None when a directory-specific rule encounters a non-directory entry?

            // If the rule is for a directory, but the entry is not a directory,
            // this rule does not apply to this entry.
            return .None;

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds support for gitignore-style filtering by introducing a state-machine-based path matcher and a parser for ignore rules.

• Implements match_iter for matching path segments against patterns including ** wildcards, with unit tests.
• Adds IgnoreRule to represent parsed ignore/exclude rules and a check method to apply them to file entries.
• Introduces IgnoreParser to parse gitignore syntax into IgnoreRule instances, with parser tests.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

src/walk_dir.zig:9

• [nitpick] The alias PathIter is declared but never used; consider removing it to reduce dead code.

const PathIter = mem.SplitIterator(u8, .sequence);

src/walk_dir.zig:87

• [nitpick] The check method of IgnoreRule is not covered by any unit tests. Consider adding tests for both .Ignore and .Exclude scenarios on files and directories to ensure the matching logic works as intended.

fn check(self: Self, path: []const u8, file_entry: fs.IterableDir.Entry) !CheckResult {

The paths ArrayList is declared without calling .init(allocator) and is never deinitialized, leading to a panic on append and a memory leak. Initialize it with the allocator (e.g., std.ArrayList([]const u8).init(self.allocator)) and defer paths.deinit().

Suggested change

	var paths = std.ArrayList([]const u8);
	var paths = std.ArrayList([]const u8).init(self.state_machine.allocator);
	defer paths.deinit();
