--- todo: move all code here
--- todo: explore adapted dll ... properties + init
-
--- The fold and lex functions are copied and patched from original code by Mitchell (see
--- lexer.lua). All errors are mine.
---
--- Starting with SciTE version 3.20 there is an issue with coloring. As we still lack
--- a connection with scite itself (properties as well as printing to the log pane) we
--- cannot trace this (on windows). As far as I can see, there are no fundamental
--- changes in lexer.lua or LexLPeg.cxx so it must be in scintilla itself. So for the
--- moment I stick to 3.10. Indicators are: no lexing of 'next' and 'goto <label>' in the
--- Lua lexer and no brace highlighting either. Interesting is that it does work ok in
--- the cld lexer (so the Lua code is okay). Also the fact that char-def.lua lexes fast
--- is a signal that the lexer quits somewhere halfway.
---
--- After checking 3.24 and adapting to the new lexer tables things are okay again. So,
--- this version assumes 3.24 or higher. In 3.24 we have a different token result, i.e. no
--- longer a { tag, pattern } but just two return values. I didn't check other changes but
--- will do that when I run into issues.
---
--- I've considered making a whole copy and patch the other functions too as we need
--- an extra nesting model. However, I don't want to maintain too much. An unfortunate
--- change in 3.03 is that no longer a script can be specified. This means that instead
--- of loading the extensions via the properties file, we now need to load them in our
--- own lexers, unless of course we replace lexer.lua completely (which adds another
--- installation issue).
---
--- Another change has been that _LEXERHOME is no longer available. It looks like more and
--- more functionality gets dropped so maybe at some point we need to ship our own dll/so
--- files. For instance, I'd like to have access to the current filename and other scite
--- properties. For instance, we could cache some info with each file, if only we had
--- knowledge of what file we're dealing with.
---
--- For huge files folding can be pretty slow and I do have some large ones that I keep
--- open all the time. Loading is normally no ussue, unless one has remembered the status
--- and the cursor is at the last line of a 200K line file. Optimizing the fold function
--- brought down loading of char-def.lua from 14 sec => 8 sec. Replacing the word_match
--- function and optimizing the lex function gained another 2+ seconds. A 6 second load
--- is quite ok for me. The changed lexer table structure (no subtables) brings loading
--- down to a few seconds.
---
--- When the lexer path is copied to the textadept lexer path, and the theme definition to
--- theme path (as lexer.lua), the lexer works there as well. When I have time and motive
--- I will make a proper setup file to tune the look and feel a bit and associate suffixes
--- with the context lexer. The textadept editor has a nice style tracing option but lacks
--- the tabs for selecting files that scite has. It also has no integrated run that pipes
--- to the log pane (I wonder if it could borrow code from the console2 project). Interesting
--- is that the jit version of textadept crashes on lexing large files (and does not feel
--- faster either).
---
--- Function load(lexer_name) starts with _M.WHITESPACE = lexer_name..'_whitespace' which
--- means that we need to have it frozen at the moment we load another lexer. Because spacing
--- is used to revert to a parent lexer we need to make sure that we load children as late
--- as possible in order not to get the wrong whitespace trigger. This took me quite a while
--- to figure out (not being that familiar with the internals). The lex and fold functions
--- have been optimized. It is a pitty that there is no proper print available. Another thing
--- needed is a default style in ourown theme style definition, as otherwise we get wrong
--- nested lexers, especially if they are larger than a view. This is the hardest part of
--- getting things right.
---
--- Eventually it might be safer to copy the other methods from lexer.lua here as well so
--- that we have no dependencies, apart from the c library (for which at some point the api
--- will be stable I hope).
---
--- It's a pitty that there is no scintillua library for the OSX version of scite. Even
--- better would be to have the scintillua library as integral part of scite as that way I
--- could use OSX alongside windows and linux (depending on needs). Also nice would be to
--- have a proper interface to scite then because currently the lexer is rather isolated and the
--- lua version does not provide all standard libraries. It would also be good to have lpeg
--- support in the regular scite lua extension (currently you need to pick it up from someplace
--- else).

+-- GET GOING
+--
+-- You need to copy this file over lexer.lua. In principle other lexers could
+-- work too but not now. Maybe some day. All patterns will move into the patterns
+-- name space. I might do the same with styles. If you run an older version of
+-- SciTE you can take one of the archives. Pre 3.41 versions can just be copied
+-- to the right path, as there we still use part of the normal lexer.
+--
+-- REMARK
 --
--- Starting with SciTE version 3.20 there is an issue with coloring. As we still lack
--- a connection with scite itself (properties as well as printing to the log pane) we
--- cannot trace this (on windows). As far as I can see, there are no fundamental
--- changes in lexer.lua or LexLPeg.cxx so it must be in scintilla itself. So for the
--- moment I stick to 3.10. Indicators are: no lexing of 'next' and 'goto <label>' in the
--- Lua lexer and no brace highlighting either. Interesting is that it does work ok in
--- the cld lexer (so the Lua code is okay). Also the fact that char-def.lua lexes fast
--- is a signal that the lexer quits somewhere halfway.
+-- We started using lpeg lexing as soon as it came available. Because we had
+-- rather demanding files an dalso wanted to use nested lexers, we ended up with
+-- our own variant (more robust and faster). As a consequence successive versions
+-- had to be adapted to changes in the (still unstable) api. In addition to
+-- lexing we also have spell checking and such.
+--
+-- STATUS
+--
+-- todo: maybe use a special stripped version of the dll (stable api)
+-- todo: play with hotspot and other properties
+-- wish: access to all scite properties and in fact integrate in scite
+-- todo: add proper tracing and so .. not too hard as we can run on mtxrun
+-- todo: get rid of these lexers.STYLE_XX and lexers.XX (hide such details)
 --
--- After checking 3.24 and adapting to the new lexer tables things are okay again. So,
--- this version assumes 3.24 or higher. In 3.24 we have a different token result, i.e. no
--- longer a { tag, pattern } but just two return values. I didn't check other changes but
--- will do that when I run into issues. I had optimized these small tables by hashing which
--- was more efficient but this is no longer needed.
+-- HISTORY
 --
--- In 3.3.1 another major change took place: some helper constants (maybe they're no
--- longer constants) and functions were moved into the lexer modules namespace but the
--- functions are assigned to the Lua module afterward so we cannot alias them beforehand.
--- We're probably getting close to a stable interface now.
+-- The fold and lex functions are copied and patched from original code by Mitchell
+-- (see lexer.lua). All errors are mine. The ability to use lpeg is a real nice
+-- adition and a brilliant move. The code is a byproduct of the (mainly Lua based)
+-- textadept (still a rapidly moving target) that unfortunately misses a realtime
+-- output pane. On the other hand, SciTE is somewhat crippled by the fact that we
+-- cannot pop in our own (language dependent) lexer into the output pane (somehow
+-- the errorlist lexer is hard coded into the editor). Hopefully that will change
+-- some day.
 --
--- I've considered making a whole copy and patch the other functions too as we need
--- an extra nesting model. However, I don't want to maintain too much. An unfortunate
--- change in 3.03 is that no longer a script can be specified. This means that instead
--- of loading the extensions via the properties file, we now need to load them in our
--- own lexers, unless of course we replace lexer.lua completely (which adds another
--- installation issue).
+-- Starting with SciTE version 3.20 there is an issue with coloring. As we still
+-- lack a connection with SciTE itself (properties as well as printing to the log
+-- pane) and we cannot trace this (on windows). As far as I can see, there are no
+-- fundamental changes in lexer.lua or LexLPeg.cxx so it must be in Scintilla
+-- itself. So for the moment I stick to 3.10. Indicators are: no lexing of 'next'
+-- and 'goto <label>' in the Lua lexer and no brace highlighting either. Interesting
+-- is that it does work ok in the cld lexer (so the Lua code is okay). Also the fact
+-- that char-def.lua lexes fast is a signal that the lexer quits somewhere halfway.
+-- Maybe there are some hard coded limitations on the amount of styles and/or length
+-- if names.
 --
--- Another change has been that _LEXERHOME is no longer available. It looks like more and
--- more functionality gets dropped so maybe at some point we need to ship our own dll/so
--- files. For instance, I'd like to have access to the current filename and other scite
--- properties. For instance, we could cache some info with each file, if only we had
--- knowledge of what file we're dealing with.
+-- After checking 3.24 and adapting to the new lexer tables things are okay again.
+-- So, this version assumes 3.24 or higher. In 3.24 we have a different token
+-- result, i.e. no longer a { tag, pattern } but just two return values. I didn't
+-- check other changes but will do that when I run into issues. I had optimized
+-- these small tables by hashing which was more efficient but this is no longer
+-- needed. For the moment we keep some of that code around as I don't know what
+-- happens in future versions.
 --
--- For huge files folding can be pretty slow and I do have some large ones that I keep

--- and the cursor is at the last line of a 200K line file. Optimizing the fold function
--- brought down loading of char-def.lua from 14 sec => 8 sec. Replacing the word_match
--- function and optimizing the lex function gained another 2+ seconds. A 6 second load
--- is quite ok for me. The changed lexer table structure (no subtables) brings loading
--- down to a few seconds.
+-- In 3.31 another major change took place: some helper constants (maybe they're no
+-- longer constants) and functions were moved into the lexer modules namespace but
+-- the functions are assigned to the Lua module afterward so we cannot alias them
+-- beforehand. We're probably getting close to a stable interface now. I've
+-- considered making a whole copy and patch the other functions too as we need an
+-- extra nesting model. However, I don't want to maintain too much. An unfortunate
+-- change in 3.03 is that no longer a script can be specified. This means that
+-- instead of loading the extensions via the properties file, we now need to load
+-- them in our own lexers, unless of course we replace lexer.lua completely (which
+-- adds another installation issue).
 --
--- When the lexer path is copied to the textadept lexer path, and the theme definition to
--- theme path (as lexer.lua), the lexer works there as well. When I have time and motive
--- I will make a proper setup file to tune the look and feel a bit and associate suffixes
--- with the context lexer. The textadept editor has a nice style tracing option but lacks
--- the tabs for selecting files that scite has. It also has no integrated run that pipes
--- to the log pane (I wonder if it could borrow code from the console2 project). Interesting
--- is that the jit version of textadept crashes on lexing large files (and does not feel
--- faster either).
+-- Another change has been that _LEXERHOME is no longer available. It looks like
+-- more and more functionality gets dropped so maybe at some point we need to ship
+-- our own dll/so files. For instance, I'd like to have access to the current
+-- filename and other scite properties. For instance, we could cache some info with
+-- each file, if only we had knowledge of what file we're dealing with.
 --
--- Function load(lexer_name) starts with _M.WHITESPACE = lexer_name..'_whitespace' which
--- means that we need to have it frozen at the moment we load another lexer. Because spacing
--- is used to revert to a parent lexer we need to make sure that we load children as late
--- as possible in order not to get the wrong whitespace trigger. This took me quite a while
--- to figure out (not being that familiar with the internals). The lex and fold functions
--- have been optimized. It is a pitty that there is no proper print available. Another thing
--- needed is a default style in ourown theme style definition, as otherwise we get wrong

--- Eventually it might be safer to copy the other methods from lexer.lua here as well so
--- that we have no dependencies, apart from the c library (for which at some point the api
--- will be stable I hope).
+-- It's a pitty that there is no scintillua library for the OSX version of scite.
+-- Even better would be to have the scintillua library as integral part of scite as
+-- that way I could use OSX alongside windows and linux (depending on needs). Also
+-- nice would be to have a proper interface to scite then because currently the
+-- lexer is rather isolated and the lua version does not provide all standard
+-- libraries. It would also be good to have lpeg support in the regular scite lua
+-- extension (currently you need to pick it up from someplace else).
+--
+-- With 3.41 the interface changed again so it gets time to look into the C++ code
+-- and consider compiling and patching myself. Loading is more complicated not as
+-- the lexer gets loaded automatically so we have little control over extending the
+-- code now. After a few days trying all kind of solutions I decided to follow a
+-- different approach: drop in a complete replacement. This of course means that I
+-- need to keep track of even more changes (which for sure will happen) but at least
+-- I get rid of interferences. The api (lexing and configuration) is simply too
+-- unstable across versions. Maybe in a few years things have stabelized. (Or maybe
+-- it's not really expected that one writes lexers at all.) A side effect is that I
+-- now no longer will use shipped lexers but just the built-in ones. Not that it
+-- matters much as the context lexers cover what I need (and I can always write
+-- more).
