Zigscient

A Zig Language Server

A drop-in alternative to ZLS

What's different:

• Improved editing responsiveness for large documents

  • Uses an extended parser, that reuses tokens and nodes to process document changes faster

• Improved syntax error handling

  • Uses an extended parser, that works around some common parser deficiencies due to syntax errors

• Reworked Modules Collection and Lookup

  • Modules are grouped by CompileStep (root ID). See How to set/switch 'root_id'

  (This may look like a step back, but is needed for correct module resolution for modules created using meta-programming that have the same name)

• Propagates error messages originating in currently not-open-in-editor documents based

  on reference-trace, eg Writers' print(fmt, args)

  std.debug.print("{}", .{});      [!] too few arguments
  std.debug.print("", .{1});       [!] unused argument in ''
  std.debug.print("{s}", .{1});    [!] invalid format string ..
  [!] indicates that the error did not originate in the current document/file
