Unfortunately the gc=false objects can refer to a dangling tree if the
gc=true tree was freed first. This reuses the same tree object as the
node itself is keeping alive via the uservalue of the node userdata.
(wrapped in a table due to lua 5.1 restrictions)
Problem: `push_tree`, every time its called for the same TSTree with
`do_copy=false` argument, creates a new userdata for it. Each userdata,
when garbage collected, frees the same TSTree C object.
Solution: Add flag to userdata, which indicates, should C object,
which userdata points to, be freed, when userdata is garbage collected.
Problem:
Treesitter highlighting is slow for large files with lots of injections.
Solution:
Only parse injections we are going to render during a redraw cycle.
---
- `LanguageTree:parse()` will no longer parse injections by default and
now requires an explicit range argument to be passed.
- `TSHighlighter` now parses injections incrementally during on_win
callbacks for the line range being rendered.
- Plugins which require certain injections to be parsed must run
`parser:parse({ start_row, end_row })` before using the tree.
* feat(treesitter): add injection language fallback
Problem: injection languages are often specified via aliases (e.g.,
filetype or in upper case), requiring custom directives.
Solution: include lookup logic (try as parser name, then filetype, then
lowercase) in LanguageTree itself and remove `#inject-language`
directive.

When an injection has not set include children, make sure not to add
the injection if no ranges are determined.
This could happen when there is an injection with a child that has the
same range as itself. e.g. consider this Makefile snippet
```make
foo:
$(VAR)
```
Line 2 has an injection for bash and a make variable reference. If
include-children isn't set (default), then there is no range on line 2
to inject since the variable reference needs to be excluded.
This caused the language tree to return an empty range, which the parser
now interprets to mean the full buffer. This caused makefiles to have
completely broken highlighting.
Problem: When using treesitter foldexpr,
* :diffput/get open diff folds, and
* folds are not updated in other windows that contain the updated
buffer.
Solution: Update folds in all windows that contain the updated buffer
and use expr foldmethod.
Problem: Treesitter fold is not updated if treesitter hightlight is not
active. More precisely, updating folds requires `LanguageTree:parse()`.
Solution: Call `parse()` before computing folds and compute folds when
lines are added/removed.
This doesn't guarantee correctness of the folds, because some changes
that don't add/remove line won't update the folds even if they should
(e.g. adding pair of braces). But it is good enough for most cases,
while not introducing big overhead.
Also, if highlighting is active, it is likely that
`TSHighlighter._on_buf` already ran `parse()` (or vice versa).
When injections are added or removed make sure to:
- invoke 'changedtree' callbacks for when new trees are added.
- invoke 'changedtree' callbacks for when trees are invalidated
- redraw regions when languagetree children are removed
Problem:
Treesitter injections are slow because all injected trees are invalidated on every change.
Solution:
Implement smarter invalidation to avoid reparsing injected regions.
- In on_bytes, try and update self._regions as best we can. This PR just offsets any regions after the change.
- Add valid flags for each region in self._regions.
- Call on_bytes recursively for all children.
- We still need to run the query every time for the top level tree. I don't know how to avoid this. However, if the new injection ranges don't change, then we re-use the old trees and avoid reparsing children.
This should result in roughly a 2-3x reduction in tree parsing when the comment injections are enabled.
Problem:
vim.treesitter does not know how to map a specific filetype to a parser.
This creates problems since in a few places (including in vim.treesitter itself), the filetype is incorrectly used in place of lang.
Solution:
Add an API to enable this:
- Add vim.treesitter.language.add() as a replacement for vim.treesitter.language.require_language().
- Optional arguments are now passed via an opts table.
- Also takes a filetype (or list of filetypes) so we can keep track of what filetypes are associated with which langs.
- Deprecated vim.treesitter.language.require_language().
- Add vim.treesitter.language.get_lang() which returns the associated lang for a given filetype.
- Add vim.treesitter.language.register() to associate filetypes to a lang without loading the parser.
Problem: Some injections (like markdown) allow specifying arbitrary
language names for code blocks, which may be lead to errors when
looking for a corresponding parser in runtime path.
Solution: Validate that the language name only contains alphanumeric
characters and `_` (e.g., for `c_sharp`) and error otherwise.
Extend the capabilities of is_os to detect more platforms such as
freebsd and openbsd. Also remove `iswin()` helper function as it can be
replaced by `is_os("win")`.
This is essentially a convenience wrapper around the `pending()`
function, similar to `skip_fragile()` but more general-purpose.
Also remove `pending_win32` function as it can be replaced by
`skip(iswin())`.
fix(treesitter): get_captures_at_position returns metadata
Return the full `metadata` table for the capture instead of just the
priority.
Further cleanup of related docs.
The @error capture is used for tree-sitter's ERROR node, which indicates
a parsing error -- which can be quite frequent (and jarring) while typing.
Users can still manually `hi link @error Error` in their config.
This removes the support for defining links via
vim.treesitter.highlighter.hl_map (never documented, but plugins did
anyway), or the uppercase-only `@FooGroup.Bar` to `FooGroup` rule.
The fallback is now strictly `@foo.bar.lang` to `@foo.bar` to `@foo`,
and casing is irrelevant (as it already was outside of treesitter)
For compatibility, define default links to builting syntax groups
as defined by pre-existing color schemes
