Topic: Naming a subexpression of a Syntax match
Eric Wieser (Apr 17 2023 at 13:29):
I have a macro of the form
macro_rules
| `(!![$[$[$rows],*];*]) => do
which matches things like !![a, b; c d]
.
How can I obtain a Syntax
object corresponding to the entire a, b
row, so that I can use it with docs4#Macro.throwErrorAt ?
Sebastian Ullrich (Apr 17 2023 at 14:06):
If it's just about the error range, we often stick the beginning and end into mkNullNode
for that purpose
Eric Wieser (Apr 17 2023 at 14:17):
Is there any way to obtain the Syntax
nodes corresponding to the ,
and ;
tokens?
Eric Wieser (Apr 17 2023 at 14:17):
Or in general, to capture position information in a syntax match, in order to pass it to mkNullNode
later
Mario Carneiro (Apr 17 2023 at 14:31):
not using the fancy syntax
Mario Carneiro (Apr 17 2023 at 14:32):
I would love to have some kind of $tk@
syntax for capturing tokens
Eric Wieser (Apr 17 2023 at 14:32):
mkNullNode
was good enough in the end
