search: infer file extensions from lang scope (!7179) · Merge requests · Warren Gifford / sourcegraph

Warren Gifford requested to merge rvt/infer-file-extensions-from-lang-scope into master Dec 12, 2019

Created by: rvantonder

When lang:c or such is specified, a regex pattern like \.c$|\.cats$|\.h$|\.idc$ populates includePatterns. This PR heuristically converts the patterns to file extensions like .c and .h, which comby can use to infer the language.

Note that without the lang specifier, comby will infer the language based on the first file to search as returned by Zoekt, so this PR is just a heuristic that ensures that the lang keyword is honored.
