tarides / cstlib Goto Github PK

🚧 Work In Progress 🚧

Here we prototype a "concrete syntax tree" for OCaml, and the functionalities that come with it: a parser, some iterators, a converter to the official parstree, etc.

The aim is for this CST to be used in tools like ocamlformat and any other project that might want to manipulate ocaml sources, e.g. merlin/lsp code actions, some refactoring tools, etc.

Currently it is a raw import from tarides/neocamlformat, so it is a bit dated and lacking many of the functionnality mentionned above. However we eventually expect for the CST parser to track the latest released version of the OCaml parser while still being buildable/usable on older releases of OCaml, for this reason we avoid depending on compiler-libs and instead "vendor" a subset of it.
