On: Show HN: Krep a High-Performance String Search Utility Written in C

[forgotpwd16]

Homepage shows it significantly faster than ripgrep. Impressive. Would like to see how it compares across the entire ripgrep's benchmark suite[1], which also includes a few other similar utilities.

edit: Getting an error related to madvise(). Had to insert '-D_GNU_SOURCE' in Makefile's CFLAGS.

Since krep doesn’t support regular expressions, it can’t run most of the ripgrep benchmark suite.
