@ScriptCoded A language server that colors tokens in Orchid source code based on where they end up after macros, and possibly provides a GUI for stepping through macro rules.

@lorentz why not simply ignore \r?
-
@ScriptCoded Actually, I don't see your name often under my rants so you might not know what Orchid is. It's a language I've been building for about two years now.
https://github.com/lbfalvy/orchid
Actually, I should write a better introduction in the readme, the current one is missing some of the coolest features because I wasn't sure I could build them when I wrote it. -
@Lensflare LSP communicates positions in pairs of 0-based line/column numbers, where line breaks are "\n", "\r" and "\r\n", and columns are counted in utf-16 code points.
If I try to use a position without correctly handling all 3 line breaks, things break. -
@lorentz can‘t you remove all \r before passing the content to LSP?
EDIT: I just realized that it would mess up the positions when you get your results from LSP back into the code. -
@lorentz Ah cool, thanks for the explanation! That does ring a loud bell but I mostly lurk here now as an old habit since, well, the platform's kinda derailed...
-
@Parzi I'm not sure but according to the internet Mac OS since OSX uses \n
-
@lorentz everyone and everything uses \n. Except for Microsoft, of course.
I spent hours trying to support \n, \r and \r\n in my algorithms to convert between utf16 line/col and utf8 absolute indices to comply with the LSP, before realizing that
- Orchid itself doesn't support \r
- There is no established user base
so I'm in the best position to reject all files that contain \r and offer to convert them instead.
