The line info should now points to the `a`, not the `*`, like this:
a*: string
^
Additionally this fixes nimsuggest's highlighting of exported object
fields.
Previously the compiler would generate suggestions based on the symbol
identifier length, but that might not reflect the actual representation
of it within the actual source code.
This commit implements a simple source scanner for the suggest module to
address the problem outlined above.
Fixesnim-lang/nimsuggest#24
* compiler/sem*: better lineinfo for templates
Lineinfo for templates is inconsistant across the compiler, for example:
doAssert true
^ ^
a[int](10)
^^ ^
The `^` marks where the compiler thinks the template starts.
For qualified call, we got the same situation with `proc`s before #10427:
system.once
^
Generics lineinfo within template declaration is also incorrect, for
example, this is where the compiler believes the `T` in `[T]` is:
template a[T](b: T)
^
This PR addresses all of these problems.
* nimsuggest: add tests for template highlighting
Previously the compiler will believe these are where `newSeq` symbol
starts:
newSeq[int]()
^
system.newSeq[int]()
^
This commit moves them back to:
newSeq[int]()
^
system.newSeq[int]()
^
* compiler/parser: preserve lineinfo for accent quoted symbols
Previously the lineinfo for symbol $$$ in this example is:
proc `$$$`
^
After this commit:
proc `$$$`
^
* compiler/semstmts: correct lineinfo for accent quoted idents
Previously nimsuggest would highlight this as:
proc `$$$`
^~~
After this commit:
proc `$$$`
^~~
* nimsuggest/tests: add a test for accent quoted proc
