tree-sitter-t32

Lauterbach TRACE32® script language grammar for tree-sitter. Support for HLL expressions was adapted from tree-sitter-c.

A demo is available here.

Features

Full coverage of the PRACTICE script language including TRACE32® commands & functions
Extended support for HLL expressions

Quick Start

Dependencies

Tree-sitter CLI for generating the parser from the grammar.
A C compiler
Make [optional]
Yarn [optional]

Commands

Generate parser

Create and build the tree-sitter parser for the TRACE32® grammar.

tree-sitter generate

Parse TRACE32® Script

Use tree-sitter to parse a TRACE32® script.

Example:

Development

There is a makefile to simplify the most common activities. The makefile expects you to have Yarn installed and set up.

To build the parser from the grammar:

make build

To run all tests:

make test-all

Editor Support

Editor	Plugin	Syntax Highlighting	Local Variables	Folds	Indents
Neovim	nvim-treesitter	✓	✓	✓	✓
Helix		✓

Run

:TSInstall t32

to automatically install the supported grammar.

Limitations

(symbol) nodes that represent an unquoted module, like \module, cannot be differentiated from user-defined TRACE32 internal HLL variables, e.g. \x.
(symbol) nodes that depend on the hex radix mode cannot always be kept apart from (address) nodes, e.g. P:A::B:0x800. To avoid conflicts always add the radix mode to the number.
Commands from the Var command group that contain multiple chained (format_expression) (_hll_expression) blocks
Unquoted (path) nodes are not clearly distinguishable from other literal types in command argument lists.
For HLL expressions used at the top level of commands, the use of spaces is more restricted than for nested expressions inside parentheses. The grammar only models the strict behavior.
(recursive_macro_expansion) nodes are restricted to the left-hand side of assignment expressions. In other contexts, recursive PRACTICE macro expansions cannot be distinguished from && operators.
