Is there a wiki page or some documentation on how to use this repo?

uyha commented 1 year ago

What do you want to use this repo for? I started this primarily for https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter, but it is created according to https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter. If you are familiar with that then you shouldn't have anymore problems using this, if you aren't, then maybe https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/ is a good place to start.

I would like to use this in emacs with tree-sitter-mode. But on Windows, that requires a .dll. I tried building this repo and only got some .rlib files -- can it produce a cmake.dll or similar?

uyha commented 1 year ago

since this is essentially a C library, I think it's possible to compile the files in the src directory and produce a cmake.dll. I currently don't have a setup for Windows so I can't actually try.

I'd like to use this to analyze cmake project and then try to translate it to bazel. You are right that getting familiar with tree-sitter is a good start, however, a quick usage would be a great way to reduce the learning curve. By the way, what is the latest cmake version supported by this project ?

What language are you using to do this? The instruction depends heavily on that, so if you can tell what you're using, maybe I can help.

By the way, what is the latest cmake version supported by this project ?

CMake 3.28 AFAICT, since there's no new syntax introduced.

I want to use python for the first edtition, and then C to get it speeded up.
I found there's a python binding of tree-sitter named tree_sitter, is that a good way to use tree-sitter in python? Any guidance is helpful, thanks.

uyha commented 10 months ago

could you give the link to the Python binding? I haven't done anything like that so I'm not sure myself

I failed to even import the library so I don't think I can help you with the Python version. Maybe you can try Rust since it's more straightforward
