matcher sanitizes, uniques, and filters names of subtests and subbenchmarks.

type matcher struct {
	filter    []string
	matchFunc func(pat, str string) (bool, error)

	mu       sync.Mutex
	subNames map[string]int64
}

TODO: fix test_main to avoid race and improve caching, also allowing to eliminate this Mutex.

var matchMutex sync.Mutex

func newMatcher(matchString func(pat, str string) (bool, error), patterns, name string) *matcher {
	var filter []string
	if patterns != "" {
		filter = splitRegexp(patterns)
		for i, s := range filter {
			filter[i] = rewrite(s)

Verify filters before doing any processing.

		for i, s := range filter {
			if _, err := matchString(s, "non-empty"); err != nil {
				fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "testing: invalid regexp for element %d of %s (%q): %s\n", i, name, s, err)
				os.Exit(1)
			}
		}
	}
	return &matcher{
		filter:    filter,
		matchFunc: matchString,
		subNames:  map[string]int64{},
	}
}

func (m *matcher) fullName(c *common, subname string) (name string, ok, partial bool) {
	name = subname

	m.mu.Lock()
	defer m.mu.Unlock()

	if c != nil && c.level > 0 {
		name = m.unique(c.name, rewrite(subname))
	}

	matchMutex.Lock()
	defer matchMutex.Unlock()

We check the full array of paths each time to allow for the case that a pattern contains a '/'.

	elem := strings.Split(name, "/")
	for i, s := range elem {
		if i >= len(m.filter) {
			break
		}
		if ok, _ := m.matchFunc(m.filter[i], s); !ok {
			return name, false, false
		}
	}
	return name, true, len(elem) < len(m.filter)
}

func splitRegexp(s string) []string {
	a := make([]string, 0, strings.Count(s, "/"))
	cs := 0
	cp := 0
	for i := 0; i < len(s); {
		switch s[i] {
		case '[':
			cs++
		case ']':
			if cs--; cs < 0 { // An unmatched ']' is legal.
				cs = 0
			}
		case '(':
			if cs == 0 {
				cp++
			}
		case ')':
			if cs == 0 {
				cp--
			}
		case '\\':
			i++
		case '/':
			if cs == 0 && cp == 0 {
				a = append(a, s[:i])
				s = s[i+1:]
				i = 0
				continue
			}
		}
		i++
	}
	return append(a, s)
}

unique creates a unique name for the given parent and subname by affixing it with one or more counts, if necessary.

func (m *matcher) unique(parent, subname string) string {
	name := fmt.Sprintf("%s/%s", parent, subname)
	empty := subname == ""
	for {
		next, exists := m.subNames[name]
		if !empty && !exists {
			m.subNames[name] = 1 // next count is 1
			return name

Name was already used. We increment with the count and append a string with the count.

		m.subNames[name] = next + 1

Add a count to guarantee uniqueness.

		name = fmt.Sprintf("%s#%02d", name, next)
		empty = false
	}
}

rewrite rewrites a subname to having only printable characters and no white space.

func rewrite(s string) string {
	b := []byte{}
	for _, r := range s {
		switch {
		case isSpace(r):
			b = append(b, '_')
		case !strconv.IsPrint(r):
			s := strconv.QuoteRune(r)
			b = append(b, s[1:len(s)-1]...)
		default:
			b = append(b, string(r)...)
		}
	}
	return string(b)
}

func isSpace(r rune) bool {
	if r < 0x2000 {

Note: not the same as Unicode Z class.

		case '\t', '\n', '\v', '\f', '\r', ' ', 0x85, 0xA0, 0x1680:
			return true
		}
	} else {
		if r <= 0x200a {
			return true
		}
		switch r {
		case 0x2028, 0x2029, 0x202f, 0x205f, 0x3000:
			return true
		}
	}
	return false
