generate parsers.

Shouldn't you mention what tree sitter grammar is being being used here?

;;; Code:

(require 'treesit)
(require 'c-ts-common)

(defgroup bison nil

bison or bison-ts?


As far as I know, no group is explicitly reserved for tree-sitter. rust-ts-mode uses the group "rust", java-ts-mode uses "java", ruby-ts-mode uses "ruby"...


   "Support for Bison and Yacc."

Shouldn't tree-sitter be mentioned here?

Same as above.

   :group 'languages)

(defcustom bison-ts-mode-indent-offset 2
   "Number of spaces for each indentation step in `bison-ts-mode'.
It has no effect in the epilogue part of the file."
   :version "30.1"
   :type 'integer
   :safe 'integerp
   :group 'bison)

(defcustom bison-ts-mode-autodetect-language t
   "Search for a %language directive in the file at initialization.
Changing the value of this directive in the file requires to reload the mode to
be effective.  If `bison-ts-mode-buffer-language' is set by a file-local
  variable, the auto-detection is not run."
   :version "30.1"
   :type 'boolean
   :safe 'boolean
   :group 'bison)

(defvar-local bison-ts-mode-embedded-language nil
   "Embedded language in Bison buffer.")

(defun bison-ts-mode--merge-feature-lists (l1 l2)
   "Merge the lists of lists L1 and L2.
The first sublist of L1 is merged with the first sublist of L2 and so on.
L1 and L2 don't need to have the same size."
   (let ((res ()))
     (while (or l1 l2)
       (setq res (push (append (car l1) (car l2)) res))
       (setq l1 (cdr l1) l2 (cdr l2)))
     (nreverse res)))

Is this a generic function that should be extracted into some common file?

It probably should, it could be useful for other *-ts-mode that want to mix multiple languages, unless there already is such a function in Elisp.


(defun bison-ts-mode--find-language-in-buffer (&optional buffer)
   "Find and return the language set by the Bison directive %language.
If BUFFER is set, search in this buffer, otherwise search in the current
buffer."
   (save-excursion
     (when buffer
       (switch-to-buffer buffer))

Or rather?

   (with-current-buffer (or buffer (current-buffer))
     (save-excursion
       ...))

     (goto-char (point-min))
     (let ((pos-end
            (re-search-forward
             (rx
              bol (0+ blank) "%language" (0+ blank) "\"" (1+ (in alpha "+")) 
"\"")
             nil
             t))
           (pos-beg nil))
       (when pos-end

Using when-let might be nice here.

         (goto-char (1- pos-end))
         (setq pos-beg (1+ (search-backward "\"" nil t)))
         (buffer-substring-no-properties pos-beg (1- pos-end))))))

I'd use a single regular expression here with a group, then extract the
right information using `match-string'.

Nice, I didn't know it was possible.


(defun bison-ts-mode--detect-language (&optional buffer)
   "Dectect the embedded language in a Bison buffer.

   (if-let ((str (bison-ts-mode--find-language-in-buffer buffer)))
       (pcase (downcase str)
         ("c" 'c)
         ("c++" 'cpp)
         ("d" (progn (message "D language not yet supported") nil))

Each pcase case has an implicit progn.

         ("java" 'java))
     (progn

Use when-let to avoid this progn.

       (message
        "bison-ts-mode: %%language specification not found or invalid, defaulting to 
C.")

Is it necessary to prefix the message with the major mode name?

If feared it would be a bit cryptic without. Anyway I modified this function to only display a message if "%language" is present but the language is invalid, so it probably isn't necessary anymore.

Though you could bind the (treesit-node-type ...) expression under the
above let.

               t
             nil)))))

Why (if foo t nil) when foo would do the same job (equal only returns
nil and t, so normalising the value isn't even necessary).

Because I was stupid.

(defun bison-ts-mode--bison-matcher-not-epilogue (root-name)
   "Treesit matcher to check if NODE at BOL is not located in the epilogue.
ROOT-NAME is the highest-level node of the embedded language."

Am I missing something, or couldn't these two functions be merged if you
give them a third argument NODE-TYPE and pass it "action" or "epilogue".

No, bison-ts-mode--bison-matcher-action checks if the _grandparent_ is an "action" node, while bison-ts-mode--bison-matcher-not-epilogue checks if the _parent_ is an "epilogue" node.

No, the language D is recognized but not supported yet in Emacs, so if this language is detected it will not configure anything.

Sorry for the number of comments, but there has been a discussion on the
code-quality of tree-sitter major modes that has been less than optimal,
so I hope that your contribution could help raise the bar.

No problem, thank you for your review!
You can find the updated mode attached.

I've added `bison-ts-mode-embedded-language' to `safe-local-variable' with:

(defvar-local bison-ts-mode-embedded-language nil
  "Embedded language in Bison buffer.
Supported values are `c', `cpp', and `java'.")
;;;###autoload
(put 'bison-ts-mode-embedded-language 'safe-local-variable 'symbolp)


By the way I have sent the mail for the copyright assignment.
