Description
since Rails 5.1+ we can use match? on a regex class safely even on older rubies
https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/5-1-stable/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/regexp.rb
but the performance benefit is visible only on ruby 2.4+
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8110
require 'benchmark/ips'
Benchmark.ips do |x|
x.report('match') { /test\d/.match 'test5'.freeze }
x.report('match?') { /test\d/.match? 'test5'.freeze }
x.compare!
end
Comparison:
match?: 4493322.3 i/s
match: 926754.9 i/s - 4.85x slower
rake test is about 5% faster

It is a very interesting patch. But MailHandlerTest fails on my environment (Ruby 2.3).

The following sentence causes one of the error. Regexp.escape returns a String object. ActiveSupport defines Regexp#match? but does not String#match?.
assert !Regexp.escape("--- Reply above. Do not remove this line. ---").match?(journal.notes)

You're right. I will revert lines with Regexp.escape tomorrow, but otherwise it should work.

Redmine uses a lot of match methods.
I think it's wonderful that the test will be 5% faster.

I have updated match-adapters.patch. The patch does not work due to syntax errors. "ActiveRecord::Base.connection.connection.adapter_name" must be replaced with "ActiveRecord::Base.connection.adapter_name" (one extra ".connection").

Thank you for updating the patch. I have confirmed that the patch passes all test in r18003.
Regexp#match? is faster than Regexp#match or =~ in most cases because it does not allocate MatchData object. I think there is no reason not to merge this patch.
