- Extends the scanner with a new token kind representing the start of a
template string. This is used to distinguish template strings from
regular strings (because only a template string will start with a
`_template_string_start` external token).
- Cleans up the logic surrounding interpolations (and the method names)
so that format strings and template strings behave the same in this
case.
Finally, we add two new node types in the tree-sitter grammar:
- `template_string` behaves like format strings, but is a distinct type
(mainly so that an implicit concatenation between template strings and
regular strings becomes a syntax error).
- `concatenated_template_string` is the counterpart of
`concatenated_string`.
However, internally, the string parts of a template strings are just the
same `string_content` nodes that are used in regular format strings. We
will disambiguate these inside `tsg-python`.
Quoting the Python documentation (last paragraph of
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#escape-sequences):
"Even in a raw literal, quotes can be escaped with a backslash, but the
backslash remains in the result; for example, r"\"" is a valid string
literal consisting of two characters: a backslash and a double quote;
r"\" is not a valid string literal (even a raw string cannot end in an
odd number of backslashes)."
We did not handle this correctly in the scanner, as we only consumed the
backslash but not the following single or double quote, resulting in
that character getting interpreted as the end of the string.
To fix this, we do a second lookahead after consuming the backslash, and
if the next character is the end character for the string, we advance
the lexer across it as well.
Similarly, backslashes in raw strings can escape other backslashes.
Thus, for a string like '\\' we must consume the second backslash,
otherwise we'll interpret it as escaping the end quote.
Two new files -- alloc.h and array.h -- suddenly appeared. Presumably
they are used by the somewhat newer version of tree-sitter. To be safe,
I included them in this commit.
