Problem:
The documentation flow (`gen_vimdoc.py`) has several issues:
- it's not very versatile
- depends on doxygen
- doesn't work well with Lua code as it requires an awkward filter script to convert it into pseudo-C.
- The intermediate XML files and filters makes it too much like a rube goldberg machine.
Solution:
Re-implement the flow using Lua, LPEG and treesitter.
- `gen_vimdoc.py` is now replaced with `gen_vimdoc.lua` and replicates a portion of the logic.
- `lua2dox.lua` is gone!
- No more XML files.
- Doxygen is now longer used and instead we now use:
- LPEG for comment parsing (see `scripts/luacats_grammar.lua` and `scripts/cdoc_grammar.lua`).
- LPEG for C parsing (see `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua`)
- Lua patterns for Lua parsing (see `scripts/luacats_parser.lua`).
- Treesitter for Markdown parsing (see `scripts/text_utils.lua`).
- The generated `runtime/doc/*.mpack` files have been removed.
- `scripts/gen_eval_files.lua` now instead uses `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua` directly.
- Text wrapping is implemented in `scripts/text_utils.lua` and appears to produce more consistent results (the main contributer to the diff of this change).
Query patterns can contain quantifiers (e.g. (foo)+ @bar), so a single
capture can map to multiple nodes. The iter_matches API can not handle
this situation because the match table incorrectly maps capture indices
to a single node instead of to an array of nodes.
The match table should be updated to map capture indices to an array of
nodes. However, this is a massively breaking change, so must be done
with a proper deprecation period.
`iter_matches`, `add_predicate` and `add_directive` must opt-in to the
correct behavior for backward compatibility. This is done with a new
"all" option. This option will become the default and removed after the
0.10 release.

Document that the `start` and `stop` parameters in
`Query:iter_captures()` and `Query:iter_matches()` are optional.
The tree-sitter lib has been bumped up to 0.20.9, so we also no longer
need "Requires treesitter >= 0.20.9".
- `TSQuery`: userdata object for parsed query.
- `vim.treesitter.Query`: renamed from `Query`.
- Add a new field `lang`.
- `TSQueryInfo`:
- Move to `vim/treesitter/_meta.lua`, because C code owns it.
- Correct typing for `patterns`, should be a map from `integer`
(pattern_id) to `(integer|string)[][]` (list of predicates or
directives).
- `vim.treesitter.QueryInfo` is added.
- This currently has the same structure as `TSQueryInfo` (exported
from C code).
- Document the fields (see `TSQuery:inspect`).
- Add typing for `vim._ts_parse_query()`.
The benefit of this is that users only pay for what they use. If e.g.
only `vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()` is called then they don't need to load
all modules under `vim.lsp` which could lead to significant startuptime
saving.
Also `vim.lsp.module` is a bit nicer to user compared to
`require("vim.lsp.module")`.
This isn't used for some nested modules such as `filetype` as it breaks
tests with error messages such as "attempt to index field 'detect'".
It's not entirely certain the reason for this, but it is likely it is
due to filetype being precompiled which would imply deferred loading
isn't needed for performance reasons.
Memoizes a function, using a custom function to hash the arguments.
Private for now until:
- There are other places in the codebase that could benefit from this
(e.g. LSP), but might require other changes to accommodate.
- Invalidation of the cache needs to be controllable. Using weak tables
is an acceptable invalidation policy, but it shouldn't be the only
one.
- I don't think the story around `hash_fn` is completely thought out. We
may be able to have a good default hash_fn by hashing each argument,
so basically a better 'concat'.
Problem
---
If a highlighter query returns a significant number of predicate
non-matches, the highlighter will scan well past the end of the window.
Solution
---
In the iterator returned from `iter_captures`, accept an optional
parameter `end_line`. If no parameter provided, the behavior is
unchanged, hence this is a non-invasive tweak.
Fixes: #25113nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter#5057
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.

Problem: luals returns stricter diagnostics with bundled luarc.json
Solution: Improve some function and type annotations:
* use recognized uv.* types
* disable diagnostic for global `vim` in shared.lua
* docs: don't start comment lines with taglink (otherwise LuaLS will interpret it as a type)
* add type alias for lpeg pattern
* fix return annotation for `vim.secure.trust`
* rename local Range object in vim.version (shadows `Range` in vim.treesitter)
* fix some "missing fields" warnings
* add missing required fields for test functions in eval.lua
* rename lsp meta files for consistency
* docs(lua): teach lua2dox how to table
* docs(lua): teach gen_vimdoc.py about local functions
No more need to mark local functions with @private
* docs(lua): mention @nodoc and @meta in dev-lua-doc
* fixup!

perf(treesitter): cache vim.treesitter.query.get
Problem:
vim.treesitter.query.get searches and reads query files every time it's
called, if user hasn't overridden the query. So this can incur slowdown
when called frequently.
This can happen when using treesitter foldexpr. For example, when using
`:h :range!` in markdown file to format fenced codeblock, on_changedtree
in _fold.lua is triggered many times despite that the tree doesn't have
syntactic changes (might be a bug in LanguageTree). (Incidentally, the
resulting fold is incorrect due to a bug in `:h range!`.) on_changedtree
calls vim.treesitter.query.get for each tree changes. In addition, it
may request folds queries for injected languages without fold queries,
such as markdown_inline.
Solution:
* Cache the result of vim.treesitter.query.get.
* If query file was not found, fail quickly at later calls.
Problem:
Codebase inconsistently binds vim.api onto a or api.
Solution:
Use api everywhere. a as an identifier is too short to have at the
module level.
Problem:
Help tags like vim.treesitter.language.add() are confusing because
`vim.treesitter.language` is (thankfully) not a user-facing module.
Solution:
Ignore the "fstem" when generating "treesitter" tags.
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.
