compiler directive not showing in syntax_tree

mlr11 commented 5 months ago

The following single line verilog file:

`timescale 1 ns / 1 ps

produce the following syntax tree:

SourceText
   UnsignedNumber
    Token: '1' @ line:1
   TimeUnit
    Keyword
     Token: 'ns' @ line:1
   Symbol
    Token: '/' @ line:1
   UnsignedNumber
    Token: '1' @ line:1
   TimeUnit
    Keyword
     Token: 'ps' @ line:1

All the information that is part of the timescale is present but there's no information that this belongs to a timescale.

I noticed something similar with `undef MACRONAME

The name of the macro shows as a TextMacroIdentifier but there's no information about the undef part.

I haven't looked yet at how other directives are behaving (non macro or include file related).

There is a preprocessor that expands all macros. I have opened an issue about it here, hoping to get the syntax tree without preprocessing it.

What I am looking for is a bit different. I am looking for the information about the directives that are not handled by the preprocessor. Things like `timescale, default_nettype, celldefine, endcelldefine, ...

I ended up finding them in the parseTree but they were attached to WhiteSpace, so I had to add processing for WhiteSpace in my traversal to extract the directives
