I have done a run of executing tree-sitter-haskell against my employer Mercury's (closed source) codebase (350k LOC) and found a few parser bugs, which I have committed simplified testcases for on https://github.com/lf-/tree-sitter-haskell/tree/top-level-splices-oopsie. I am going to try to fix the ones that I think I can fix over the next few weeks.


I'm filing this incorrect parse as a bug because I am baffled by it and don't know how to fix it. My best guess is that for some reason the function parser gets greedy and ignores the semicolons?

The following test case misparses as a function node. Notably, if the instance is changed to have an associated value or such, it will parse correctly.

I don't intend to fix this bug as I'm just too lost on it, so it's fair game if you want to pick it up some time.

(this is not high priority at all though; it affects one file total for me, and is easily worked around by some slight rearrangement or using explicit toplevel splices)

* Parses the GHC codebase!

  I'm using a trimmed set of the source directories of the compiler and most core libraries in
  [this repo](https://github.com/tek/tsh-test-ghc).

  This used to break horribly in many files because explicit brace layouts weren't supported very well.

* Faster in most cases!
  Here are a few simple benchmarks to illustrate the difference, not to be taken _too_ seriously, using the test
  codebases in `test/libs`:

  Old:
  ```
  effects: 32ms
  postgrest: 91ms
  ivory: 224ms
  polysemy: 84ms
  semantic: 1336ms
  haskell-language-server: 532ms
  flatparse: 45ms
  ```

  New:
  ```
  effects: 29ms
  postgrest: 64ms
  ivory: 178ms
  polysemy: 70ms
  semantic: 692ms
  haskell-language-server: 390ms
  flatparse: 36ms
  ```

  GHC's `compiler` directory takes 3000ms, but is among the fastest repos for per-line and per-character times!
  To get more detailed info (including new codebases I added, consisting mostly of core libraries), run
  `test/parse-libs`.
  I also added an interface for running `hyperfine`, exposed as a Nix app – execute
  `nix run .#bench-libs -- stm mtl transformers` with the desired set of libraries in `test/libs` or
  `test/libs/tsh-test-ghc/libraries`.

* Smaller size of the shared object.

  `tree-sitter generate` produces a `haskell.so` with a size of 4.4MB for the old grammar, and 3.0MB for the new one.

* Significantly faster time to generate, and slightly faster build.

  On my machine, generation takes 9.34s vs 2.85s, and compiling takes 3.75s vs 3.33s.

* All terminals now have proper text nodes when possible, like the `.` in modules.
  Fixes #102, #107, #115 (partially?).

* Semicolons are now forced after newlines even if the current parse state doesn't allow them, to fail alternative
  interpretations in GLR conflicts that sometimes produced top-level expression splices for valid (and invalid) code.
  Fixes #89, #105, #111.

* Comments aren't pulled into preceding layouts anymore.
  Fixes #82, #109.
  (Can probably still be improved with a few heuristics for e.g. postfix haddock)

* Similarly, whitespace is kept out of layout-related nodes as much as possible.
  Fixes #74.

* Hashes can now be operators in all situations, without sacrificing unboxed tuples.
  Fixes #108.

* Expression quotes are now handled separately from quasiquotes and their contents parsed properly.
  Fixes #116.

* Explicit brace layouts are now handled correctly.
  Fixes #92.

* Function application with multiple block arguments is handled correctly.

* Unicode categories for identifiers now match GHC, and the full unicode character set is supported for things like
  prefix operator detection.

* Haddock comments have dedicated nodes now.

* Use named precedences instead of closely replicating the GHC parser's productions.

* Different layouts are tracked and closed with their special cases considered.
  In particular, multi-way if now has layout.

* Fixed CPP bug where mid-line `#endif` would be false positive.

* CPP only matches legal directives now.

* Generally more lenient parsing than GHC, and in the presence of errors:
  * Missing closing tokens at EOF are tolerated for:
    * CPP
    * Comment
    * TH Quotation
  * Multiple semicolons in some positions like `if/then`
  * Unboxed tuples and sums are allowed to have arbitrary numbers of filled positions

* List comprehensions can have multiple sets of qualifiers (`ParallelListComp`).

* Deriving clauses after GADTs don't require layout anymore.

* Newtype instance heads are working properly now.

* Escaping newlines in comments and cpp works now.
  Escaping newlines on regular lines won't be implemented.

* One remaining issue is that qualified left sections that contain infix ops are broken: `(a + a A.+)`
  I haven't managed to figure out a good strategy for this – my suspicion is that it's impossible to correctly parse
  application, infix and negation without lexing all qualified names in the scanner.
  I will try that out at some point, but for now I'm planning to just accept that this one thing doesn't work.
  For what it's worth, none of the codebases I use for testing contain this construct in a way that breaks parsing.

* Repo now includes a Haskell program that generates C code for classifying characters as belonging to some sets of
  Unicode categories, using bitmaps.
  I might need to change this to write them all to a shared file, so the set of source files stays the same.

  I also added an interface for running `hyperfine`, exposed as a Nix app – execute
  `nix run .#bench-libs -- stm mtl transformers` with the desired set of libraries in `test/libs` or
  `test/libs/tsh-test-ghc/libraries`.

* Smaller size of the shared object.

  `tree-sitter generate` produces a `haskell.so` with a size of 4.4MB for the old grammar, and 3.0MB for the new one.

* Significantly faster time to generate, and slightly faster build.

  On my machine, generation takes 9.34s vs 2.85s, and compiling takes 3.75s vs 3.33s.

* All terminals now have proper text nodes when possible, like the `.` in modules.
  Fixes #102, #107, #115 (partially?).

* Semicolons are now forced after newlines even if the current parse state doesn't allow them, to fail alternative
  interpretations in GLR conflicts that sometimes produced top-level expression splices for valid (and invalid) code.
  Fixes #89, #105, #111.

* Comments aren't pulled into preceding layouts anymore.
  Fixes #82, #109.
  (Can probably still be improved with a few heuristics for e.g. postfix haddock)

* Similarly, whitespace is kept out of layout-related nodes as much as possible.
  Fixes #74.

* Hashes can now be operators in all situations, without sacrificing unboxed tuples.
  Fixes #108.

* Expression quotes are now handled separately from quasiquotes and their contents parsed properly.
  Fixes #116.

* Explicit brace layouts are now handled correctly.
  Fixes #92.

* Function application with multiple block arguments is handled correctly.

* Unicode categories for identifiers now match GHC, and the full unicode character set is supported for things like
  prefix operator detection.

* Haddock comments have dedicated nodes now.

* Use named precedences instead of closely replicating the GHC parser's productions.

* Different layouts are tracked and closed with their special cases considered.
  In particular, multi-way if now has layout.

* Fixed CPP bug where mid-line `#endif` would be false positive.

* CPP only matches legal directives now.

* Generally more lenient parsing than GHC, and in the presence of errors:
  * Missing closing tokens at EOF are tolerated for:
    * CPP
    * Comment
    * TH Quotation
  * Multiple semicolons in some positions like `if/then`
  * Unboxed tuples and sums are allowed to have arbitrary numbers of filled positions

* List comprehensions can have multiple sets of qualifiers (`ParallelListComp`).

* Deriving clauses after GADTs don't require layout anymore.

* Newtype instance heads are working properly now.

* Escaping newlines in comments and cpp works now.
  Escaping newlines on regular lines won't be implemented.

* One remaining issue is that qualified left sections that contain infix ops are broken: `(a + a A.+)`
  I haven't managed to figure out a good strategy for this – my suspicion is that it's impossible to correctly parse
  application, infix and negation without lexing all qualified names in the scanner.
  I will try that out at some point, but for now I'm planning to just accept that this one thing doesn't work.
  For what it's worth, none of the codebases I use for testing contain this construct in a way that breaks parsing.

* Repo now includes a Haskell program that generates C code for classifying characters as belonging to some sets of
  Unicode categories, using bitmaps.
  I might need to change this to write them all to a shared file, so the set of source files stays the same.

* Parses the GHC codebase!

  I'm using a trimmed set of the source directories of the compiler and most core libraries in
  [this repo](https://github.com/tek/tsh-test-ghc).

  This used to break horribly in many files because explicit brace layouts weren't supported very well.

* Faster in most cases!
  Here are a few simple benchmarks to illustrate the difference, not to be taken _too_ seriously, using the test
  codebases in `test/libs`:

  Old:
  ```

  postgrest: 91ms

  interpretations in GLR conflicts that sometimes produced top-level expression splices for valid (and invalid) code.
  Fixes #89, #105, #111.

* Comments aren't pulled into preceding layouts anymore.
  Fixes #82, #109.
  (Can probably still be improved with a few heuristics for e.g. postfix haddock)

* Similarly, whitespace is kept out of layout-related nodes as much as possible.
  Fixes #74.

* Hashes can now be operators in all situations, without sacrificing unboxed tuples.
  Fixes #108.

* Expression quotes are now handled separately from quasiquotes and their contents parsed properly.
  Fixes #116.

* Explicit brace layouts are now handled correctly.
  Fixes #92.

* Function application with multiple block arguments is handled correctly.

* Unicode categories for identifiers now match GHC, and the full unicode character set is supported for things like
  prefix operator detection.

* Haddock comments have dedicated nodes now.

* Use named precedences instead of closely replicating the GHC parser's productions.

* Different layouts are tracked and closed with their special cases considered.
  In particular, multi-way if now has layout.

* Fixed CPP bug where mid-line `#endif` would be false positive.

* CPP only matches legal directives now.

* Generally more lenient parsing than GHC, and in the presence of errors:
  * Missing closing tokens at EOF are tolerated for:
    * CPP
    * Comment
    * TH Quotation
  * Multiple semicolons in some positions like `if/then`
  * Unboxed tuples and sums are allowed to have arbitrary numbers of filled positions

* List comprehensions can have multiple sets of qualifiers (`ParallelListComp`).

* Deriving clauses after GADTs don't require layout anymore.

* Newtype instance heads are working properly now.

* Escaping newlines in comments and cpp works now.
  Escaping newlines on regular lines won't be implemented.

* One remaining issue is that qualified left sections that contain infix ops are broken: `(a + a A.+)`
  I haven't managed to figure out a good strategy for this – my suspicion is that it's impossible to correctly parse
  application, infix and negation without lexing all qualified names in the scanner.
  I will try that out at some point, but for now I'm planning to just accept that this one thing doesn't work.
  For what it's worth, none of the codebases I use for testing contain this construct in a way that breaks parsing.

* Repo now includes a Haskell program that generates C code for classifying characters as belonging to some sets of
  Unicode categories, using bitmaps.
  I might need to change this to write them all to a shared file, so the set of source files stays the same.
