This is a really minor "feature" request, but I figured it's the right time to ask it since you're already moving stuff around in #2626 🙂

It would be nice to have all the info about ripgrep's build be output when --version is called, including the PCRE2 info without having to call --pcre2-version in a second step.

This may require changing the "JIT is available" message a bit to make it clear it's about the PCRE2 JIT, or just put everything in a single line such as: PCRE2 10.42 +JIT

I wondered why there's a separate --pcre2-version option in the first place, then I noticed it returns an error code when PCRE2 is unavailable, so I suppose this option will need to be kept as-is.

I can send a PR if you'd like after you're done with #2626.

Can you say why you want this?

Mostly because I feel this info is missing in --version: IMO it should provide all the important info about the build. It currently tells you if you enabled the simd-accel feature, but it doesn't tell you about pcre2, which is inconsistent. And I wanted an easy way to make sure I didn't forget to add --features pcre2 in a custom build.

Also, I'm familiar with PCRE2 and knowing which version is shipped with ripgrep and if the JIT is enabled is a useful info.

All righty. I don't feel too strongly about this, and I do mildly fancy having --version be more complete.

This is what the new --version output will look like in ripgrep 14 when PCRE2 is enabled:

$ rg --version
ripgrep 13.0.0 (rev 204a79f168)

features:-simd-accel,+pcre2
simd(compile):+SSE2,-SSSE3,-AVX2
simd(runtime):+SSE2,+SSSE3,+AVX2

PCRE2 10.42 is available (JIT is available)

And when PCRE2 is not enabled:

$ rg --version
ripgrep 13.0.0 (rev 204a79f168)

features:-simd-accel,-pcre2
simd(compile):+SSE2,-SSSE3,-AVX2
simd(runtime):+SSE2,+SSSE3,+AVX2

PCRE2 is not available in this build of ripgrep.

Thanks! 🙂

BurntSushi added a commit that referenced this issue Nov 25, 2023
This adds info about whether PCRE2 is available or not to the output of
--version. Essentially, --version now subsumes --pcre2-version, although
we do retain the former because it (usefully) emits an exit code based
on whether PCRE2 is available or not.

14.0.2 (2023-11-27)
===================
This is a patch release with a few small bug fixes.

Bug fixes:

* [BUG #2654](BurntSushi/ripgrep#2654):
  Fix `deb` release sha256 sum file.
* [BUG #2658](BurntSushi/ripgrep#2658):
  Fix partial regression in the behavior of `--null-data --line-regexp`.
* [BUG #2659](BurntSushi/ripgrep#2659):
  Fix Fish shell completions.
* [BUG #2662](BurntSushi/ripgrep#2662):
  Fix typo in documentation for `-i/--ignore-case`.


14.0.1 (2023-11-26)
===================
This a patch release meant to fix `cargo install ripgrep` on Windows.

Bug fixes:

* [BUG #2653](BurntSushi/ripgrep#2653):
  Include `pkg/windows/Manifest.xml` in crate package.


14.0.0 (2023-11-26)
===================
ripgrep 14 is a new major version release of ripgrep that has some new
features, performance improvements and a lot of bug fixes.

The headlining feature in this release is hyperlink support. In this release,
they are an opt-in feature but may change to an opt-out feature in the future.
To enable them, try passing `--hyperlink-format default`. If you use [VS Code],
then try passing `--hyperlink-format vscode`. Please [report your experience
with hyperlinks][report-hyperlinks], positive or negative.

[VS Code]: https://code.visualstudio.com/
[report-hyperlinks]: BurntSushi/ripgrep#2611

Another headlining development in this release is that it contains a rewrite
of its regex engine. You generally shouldn't notice any changes, except for
some searches may get faster. You can read more about the [regex engine rewrite
on my blog][regex-internals]. Please [report your performance improvements or
regressions that you notice][report-perf].

[report-perf]: BurntSushi/ripgrep#2652

Finally, ripgrep switched the library it uses for argument parsing. Users
should not notice a difference in most cases (error messages have changed
somewhat), but flag overrides should generally be more consistent. For example,
things like `--no-ignore --ignore-vcs` work as one would expect (disables all
filtering related to ignore rules except for rules found in version control
systems such as `git`).

**BREAKING CHANGES**:

* `rg -C1 -A2` used to be equivalent to `rg -A2`, but now it is equivalent to
  `rg -B1 -A2`. That is, `-A` and `-B` no longer completely override `-C`.
  Instead, they only partially override `-C`.

Build process changes:

* ripgrep's shell completions and man page are now created by running ripgrep
with a new `--generate` flag. For example, `rg --generate man` will write a
man page in `roff` format on stdout. The release archives have not changed.
* The optional build dependency on `asciidoc` or `asciidoctor` has been
dropped. Previously, it was used to produce ripgrep's man page. ripgrep now
owns this process itself by writing `roff` directly.

Performance improvements:

* [PERF #1746](BurntSushi/ripgrep#1746):
  Make some cases with inner literals faster.
* [PERF #1760](BurntSushi/ripgrep#1760):
  Make most searches with `\b` look-arounds (among others) much faster.
* [PERF #2591](BurntSushi/ripgrep#2591):
  Parallel directory traversal now uses work stealing for faster searches.
* [PERF #2642](BurntSushi/ripgrep#2642):
  Parallel directory traversal has some contention reduced.

  Gradle, GraphQL, Markdown, Prolog, Raku, TypeScript, USD, V
