Compatibility with red-green trees of roslyn

[ArsenShnurkov]

Does it worth to implement this algorithm on top of roslyn syntax trees?

What is the goal? Do you want to update the underlying source and have the ast update or the other way around?

[ArsenShnurkov]

I want both - the ability to edit underlying source through AST (for tools), and dynamic syntax highlighting (for editors).

There is already a similar issue - https://github.com/patrickhuber/Pliant/issues/9

My proposition is to implement AST on top of Roslyn (SyntaxNode class and others) instead of your independent implementation

[patrickhuber]

I'll have to look at how portable the Roslyn implementation is to a generic parser. I agree, #9 is the way this will be implemented.

[ArsenShnurkov]

Roslyn contains unsafe code, so i dismiss the idea
