If we already have a stack version in which, for example,
a `function_call` is skipped, don't create another stack
version in which that `function_call` is reduced to an
`expression`, and then the `expression` is skipped. That
doesn't improve the error recovery at all, but adds to the
branching factor of the parse stack and makes things harder
to debug.
They used to be called e.g. `ts_language_python`. Now that there
are APIs that deal with the `TSLanguage` objects themselves, such
as `ts_language_symbol_count`, the old names were a little confusing.
Tokens that are defined in the grammar's rules may now be included in the
externals list also, so that external scanners can check if they are valid
lookaheads or not, and if so, can return them to the parser if needed.
A single line with two function declarations now parses
successfully, so to create the desired error recovery
scenario, wrap the two functions in an assignment
Previously, the lexer would operate in error-mode (ignoring any garbage input
until it found a valid token) if it was invoked in the 'error' state. Now that
the error state is deduped with other lexical states, the lexer might be invoked
in that state even when error-mode is not intended. This adds a third argument
to `ts_lex` that explicitly sets the error-mode.
This bug was unlikely to occur in any real grammars, but it caused the
node-tree-sitter-compiler test suite to fail for some grammars with only one
rule.
Suppose a parse state S has multiple actions for a terminal lookahead symbol A.
Then during incremental parsing, while in state S, the parser should not
reuse a non-terminal lookahead B where FIRST(B) contains A, because reusing B
might prematurely discard one of the possible actions that a batch parser
would have attempted in state S, upon seeing A as a lookahead.
This stores whether a symbol is only ever used as a ubiquitous token. This will
allow ubiquitous nodes to be reused more effectively: if they are always
ubiquitous, then they can be reused immediately, and otherwise, they must be
broken down in case they need to be used structurally.
