Lewis Russell 33ea63011c perf(treesitter): reuse edited tree ranges for callbacks
After an edit, LanguageTree:_edit() updates the current trees. When the
LanguageTree manages explicit regions, _edit() also refreshes _regions
from tree:included_ranges(true), so those regions have the edited byte
offsets.

A later injection pass may call set_included_regions() with a different
number of child regions. That path discards the old trees and emits
changedtree callbacks for them. invalidate(true) does the same when a
buffer is reloaded. Before this change, both discard paths called
tree:included_ranges(true) for every old tree, even if _edit() had just
collected those exact ranges.

That duplicate range extraction is expensive with many injection trees.
Realistic shapes include generated C files with many macro bodies parsed
by the C preproc_arg injection, Markdown documents with many fenced blocks
of the same language, and template files with many embedded-language
islands. The stock highlighter registers recursive changedtree callbacks,
so this is on the normal highlighting edit path.

Track whether _regions currently came from tree:included_ranges(true)
with _regions_from_tree_ranges. _do_changedtree_callbacks() reuses
_regions only in that state; otherwise it falls back to calling
tree:included_ranges(true). Clear the marker when regions are replaced by
injection ranges, when a tree is reparsed, or when trees are discarded.

This avoids keeping a second copy of the ranges while preserving callback
precision: changedtree still receives tree:included_ranges(true) for the
old tree, not the broader managed region.

Benchmark on 100k C macro injections, one-line edit, recursive
changedtree callback:

- HEAD median: edited parse 84.2 ms, child region replacement 58.7 ms
- This change: edited parse 34.6 ms, child region replacement 8.5 ms

That is about 2.4x faster for the edit parse and 6.9x faster for child
region replacement in this workload.

Add a regression test that replacing injection regions still fires
changedtree and still reports the old tree's exact included ranges.

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.

Features

See :help nvim-features for the full list, and :help news for noteworthy changes in the latest version!

Install from package

Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.

Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!

Install from source

See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.

The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install

To install to a non-default location:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install

CMake hints for inspecting the build:

  • cmake --build build --target help lists all build targets.
  • build/CMakeCache.txt (or cmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.
  • build/compile_commands.json shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.

Transitioning from Vim

See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
