roelkluin/cvars howto

You have to source cvars to use these tools and run these commands in your git Linux kernel directory.

gg

gg does something like 

git grep -n -E [other_options] "$(bli2 "$1")"

bli2

bli2() parses a string and transforms it into a more complex extended regexp, which it simply echoes.

To understand how it parses things try these: 

bli2 "@V"
bli2 "@d"
bli2 " "
bli2 "
 "

Note that @V will catch the identifier of a simple local variable, @d will catch a number (even if it's a hex or 1ull), spaces are squeezed and parsed to match optional spaces.

gres

I wrote this to do a multiline (git-)grep, See examples. gres does something in the order of: 

git grep -E -n -other_opts "$(bli2 "$1")" -- '*.c' '*.h' | sed -n -r "$(ecsed2 "${@:2})"

with `gres -B1 -A40 "pattern1" "pattern2" "..."' the `-B1' and `-A40' are passed to git-grep, bli2() parses the first pattern to a extended regexp query. Subsequent patterns are passed to ecsed2() which are used to create a sed script. With this script, sed parses the `git grep' output and prints only the output of which the last - but not prior - patterns matched.

The sed script transforms the first of the `path/to/filename.c-301-' into a vi command, the remainder are removed. Until an end-of-function- or end-of-match-pattern occurs, lines are extended. Any comments are removed. For each match that `git grep' piped to sed, (parsed) matches are displayed if no exclusion pattern matched and the last pattern matched.
