Hi @noplay. Thank you so much for such a good extension!

In my last issue (#15), I forgot to mention some other syntaxes that also require ends. I have added them here.

One fix is that Julia accepts what in ' and ' as a character, so there is no possibility for an end inside ''. Besides, Julia does support multi-line comment, starting with #= and ending with =#. So I replaced ' with them.

The only thing that I cannot handle is that Julia also supports Python-like generator expressions, which means you could write for without an end:

julia> sum(1/n^2 for n=1:1000)
1.6439345666815615

julia> [(i,j) for i=1:3 for j=1:i if i+j == 4]
2-element Array{Tuple{Int64,Int64},1}:
 (2, 2)
 (3, 1)

That breaks the highlighting. The for will match another end. Is there a way to solve this problem?

@singularitti in version 0.7, there are now options for "ignore blocks", such as comments (both single and multiline) and strings!

@singularitti Also, if non-generator-like for requires do or another token, you could change this to:

Suggested change
"for",
"for(?=.*do)",

This should now only match expressions like: for ... do

Hi, I am trying to use this pattern "^\s*for" (A for with only blank characters before it) to replace "for", but it does not seem to succeed. The below generator expression

[getfield(x, :a) for x in object.b.c],

is still treated as a for loop.

for
As an example, I only want the first for be matched.

I'm not familiar with Julia. Why the for preceeded by @SoftScope shouldn't be matched? This might bring problems with the matching end for it.

Check if this token works well enough for for:

  • (?<=\\[[^\\]]*)for(?![^\\]]*\\]))

It uses negative lookahead and positive lookbehind to try and match those generators.
I don't know if it can handle nested or multiline generators.

Another option is adding [ and ] as open and close tokens for an ignore block. This is not ideal, but would avoid ugly breakage for the rest of the file

Hi @polvalente, thank you for your reply. I am not an expert in regex, so I just wrote the simplest example. Yes, indeed, that will break the highlighting.

I cannot figure out a good regex to distinguish the for loops and generator expressions. Because Julia is so flexible that it allows a lot of ways to write a for loop. The only difference between them just seems to be for loops have an end. I will list some test examples below. I hope you can figure out a working way to distinguish them. Thank you!

Below are normal for loops so should be paired with ends.

# Those should be matched.
for i = 1:10
           s += i
       end

@softscope for i in 1:10
           s += i
       end

softscope(Main, :(for i = 1:10
           s += i
       end))

for i in 1:10; println(i); end

for i in [1, 2, 3]
	println(i)
end

for i in collect(1:10)
	println(i)
end

Below are generator expressions and are not paired with ends:

# Those should not be matched.
sum(1/n^2 for n=1:1000)

 map(tuple, (1/(i+j) for i=1:2, j=1:2), [1 3; 2 4])

[(i,j) for i=1:3 for j=1:i if i+j == 4]

Oh wow. I think there is a problem with how I implemented ignore blocks. I'll refactor it in the coming weekend.

Basically, I didn't think to support nesting. As such, ((x) for) will be passed to the coloring function as for) (because the first closing paren will close the first open paren).

Luckily, I already have an idea on how to solve it (by using stacks).

I have tried this method. It seems that with the following test text:

sum(1/n^2 for n=1:1000)

map(tuple, (1/(i+j) for i=1:2, j=1:2), [1 3; 2 4])

[(i,j) for i=1:3 for j=1:i if i+j == 4]

for i = 1:10
    s += i
end

@softscope for i in 1:10
    s += i
end

softscope(Main, :(for i = 1:10
    s += i
end))

for i in 1:10; println(i); end

for i in [1, 2, 3]
println(i)
end

for i in collect(1:10)
println(i)
end

image

The map(tuple, (1/(i+j) for i=1:2, j=1:2), [1 3; 2 4]) is not working because there is one ) before the for.

This test now works:

There are some examples in other languages' specs. It's the ignoreInDelimiters parameter. In short, you always specify an open token and a close token, and for single-line blocks, you just set the closing token to \n

example: https://github.com/noplay/vscode-rainbow-end/blob/aa46bde39c02c1004731a8b05479c457ac5bb762/src/languages.ts#L47-L64

0.7.2 releases with the nested block improve.

singularitti commented Sep 4, 2019

I found a very strange behavior:
The following code will break the pairing:

"""
# module Test



# Examples
"""
module Test

function aa()
    open(x, "") do io

    end
end # function aa

end

Specifically, once I type in the "" in function aa, the pairing intermediately breaks.

After

However, if I remove the """...""" block, everything works fine.

I suppose that the "" accidentally matches the """, or it might have something to do with the nesting. Could you reproduce it?

If I only input 1 ", it works fine:
1"

Maybe there is an "off-by-one" error happening with the new ignore-blocks implementation. I might only be able to look into that in the weekend. If you'd like to give it a go, I suspect the problem is during the slicing to replace the text with spaces.

Turns out the problem was the way the delimiter pairing was implemented in the new version. It broke when both the opening and closing delimiters were equal to each other. #20 attempts to fix this problem.

The following example is broken after I sync PR #20

module XXXX

primitive type Float16 <: AbstractFloat 16 end
primitive type Float32 <: AbstractFloat 32 end
primitive type Float64 <: AbstractFloat 64 end

primitive type Bool <: Integer 8 end
primitive type Char <: AbstractChar 32 end

primitive type Int8    <: Signed   8 end
primitive type UInt8   <: Unsigned 8 end
primitive type Int16   <: Signed   16 end
primitive type UInt16  <: Unsigned 16 end
primitive type Int32   <: Signed   32 end
primitive type UInt32  <: Unsigned 32 end
primitive type Int64   <: Signed   64 end
primitive type UInt64  <: Unsigned 64 end
primitive type Int128  <: Signed   128 end
primitive type UInt128 <: Unsigned 128 end

abstract type Number end
abstract type Real <: Number end

struct Point end
struct Point <: AbstractPoint; x; y; end

end

image
As you can see, all the abstract types and primitive types are not matching their ends. This is not a problem of writing them in one line since structs match their ends. I guess there might be a problem with the space inside the tokens. I change the source code to

openTokens: [
      ...,
      "abstract\s+type",
      "primitive\s+type",
      ...
    ],

but it does not work.

Another example that will break the highlighting:

struct AAA{A<:AbstractString,B<:Real,C<:AbstractString}
    a::A
    b::B
    c::C

It seems to be caused by the comment line:

@noplay Maybe we could refactor the token matching spec to accept whole regexes and match each one individually, instead of building the regex from strings. I've encountered some problems in dealing with some of Elixir's syntax that have arisen from this too.

I guess the \s spec should have been abstract\\s+type instead. All backslashes in the spec need to be escaped.

@singularitti I know. I'm kinda overwhelmed with things at work, but I'll get to it as soon as possible.

My mention to @noplay was intended as a long term bug fix, because there are some things that can't really be matched by regexes as of now.

I already have some ideas, such as implementing an option to specify raw regexes instead of building an option regex from words.

However, this will demand some work.

Anyway, I'll try to fix this specific problem independently of this

@singularitti and @noplay, just an update on this:
Next week I'll be working on a proposal for a new matching system to avoid some workarounds and problems we've been having. Hopefully, this will solve the issues we have with the current framework.

I'll draft a proposal as an issue and link this PR there.
