Sebb created RAT-138: ------------------------ Summary: RAT runs very slowly on some input Key: RAT-138 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-138 Project: Apache Rat Issue Type: Bug Components: engine Affects Versions: 0.9 Reporter: Sebb
Commons IO discovered that mvn site was spending a lot of time running RAT 0.9. Reverting to 0.8 fixes the problem. Turns out that certain files seem to cause RAT to chew CPU in the Pattern.matcher; here is a sample stack trace from a thread dump: "main" prio=6 tid=0x003c8c00 nid=0xecc runnable [0x00a5e000] java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE at java.util.regex.Pattern$Slice.match(Pattern.java:3867) at java.util.regex.Pattern$Curly.match0(Pattern.java:4170) at java.util.regex.Pattern$Curly.match(Pattern.java:4132) at java.util.regex.Matcher.match(Matcher.java:1221) at java.util.regex.Matcher.matches(Matcher.java:559) at org.apache.rat.analysis.generation.GeneratedLicenseNotRequired.match(GeneratedLicenseNotRequired.java:71) at org.apache.rat.analysis.util.HeaderMatcherMultiplexer.match(HeaderMatcherMultiplexer.java:42) at org.apache.rat.analysis.HeaderCheckWorker.readLine(HeaderCheckWorker.java:113) at org.apache.rat.analysis.HeaderCheckWorker.read(HeaderCheckWorker.java:84) at org.apache.rat.analysis.DocumentHeaderAnalyser.analyse(DocumentHeaderAnalyser.java:43) at org.apache.rat.analysis.DefaultAnalyserFactory$DefaultAnalyser.analyse(DefaultAnalyserFactory.java:60) at org.apache.rat.document.impl.util.DocumentAnalyserMultiplexer.analyse(DocumentAnalyserMultiplexer.java:37) at org.apache.rat.report.claim.util.ClaimReporterMultiplexer.report(ClaimReporterMultiplexer.java:42) at org.apache.rat.mp.FilesReportable.run(FilesReportable.java:68) at org.apache.rat.Report.report(Report.java:393) at org.apache.rat.Report.report(Report.java:373) at org.apache.rat.mp.AbstractRatMojo.createReport(AbstractRatMojo.java:462) at org.apache.rat.mp.RatReportMojo.createReport(RatReportMojo.java:148) at org.apache.rat.mp.RatReportMojo.generate(RatReportMojo.java:310) at org.apache.rat.mp.RatReportMojo.execute(RatReportMojo.java:210) I assume there must be a problem with one of the REs which is triggering lots of backtracking when applied to files under site-content/, which is a working copy of: https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/commons/content/proper/commons-io Last Changed Rev: 861378 This directory should not have been included in the RAT scan, but the files don't cause problems for RAT 0.8. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
