rizin-shell-parser

This is the parser for rizin shell language. See https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/creating-parsers for more info on how to create a parser with tree-sitter.

Sources

• grammar.js: defines the basic grammar
• src/scanner.c: external scanner used to scan some tokens that cannot be parsed with the regular js grammar, as that includes only the context-free part of the language.
• src/parser.c: this file is auto-generated by tree-sitter based on grammar.js
• corpus/*: list of test files used to ensure the grammar works well

How to update grammar

When you update something in grammar.js or src/scanner.c you have to re-generate the parser. The process works as follows:

1. Do changes as needed to grammar.js and/or src/scanner.c
2. Install npm dependencies with: cd subprojects/rizin-shell-parser ; npm install
3. Re-generate the parser files: npx tree-sitter generate
4. Check tests still pass: npx tree-sitter test. Use npx tree-sitter parse ./example-file if you want to see the syntax tree of a custom input provided in ./example-file
5. Commit auto-generated files and modified grammar.js and src/scanner.c into git.
