Previously, it was possible for references to external token states to
outlive the trees to which those states belonged.
Now, instead of storing references to external token states in the Stack
and in the Lexer, we store references to the external token trees
themselves, and we retain the trees to prevent use-after-free.
The parser spends the majority of its time allocating and freeing trees and stack nodes.
Also, the memory footprint of the AST is a significant concern when using tree-sitter
with large files. This library is already unlikely to work very well with source files
larger than 4GB, so representing rows, columns, byte lengths and child indices as
unsigned 32 bit integers seems like the right choice.
* While generating the lex table, note which tokens can match the
same string. A token needs to be relexed when it has possible
homonyms in the current state.
* Also note which tokens can match substrings of each other tokens.
A token needs to be relexed when there are viable tokens that
could match longer strings in the current state and the next
token has been edited.
* Remove the logic for marking tokens as fragile on creation.
* Store the reusability/non-reusability of symbols off of individual
actions and onto the entire entry for the state & symbol.
Before, any syntax error would cause the lexer to create an error
leaf node. This could happen even with a valid input, if the parse
stack had split and one particular version of the parse stack
failed to parse.
Now, an error leaf node is only created when the lexer cannot understand
part of the input stream at all. When a normal syntax error occurs,
the lexer just returns a token that is outside of the expected token
set, and the parser handles the unexpected token.
Generated parsers no longer export a parser constructor function.
They now export an opaque Language object which can be set on
Documents directly. This way, the logic for constructing parsers
lives entirely in the runtime. The Languages are just structs which
have no load-time dependency on the runtime
