The text that is printed is generated when building assets, by analyzing LICENSE
and NOTICE files that comes with syntaxes and themes.
We take this opportunity to also add a NOTICE file as defined by Apache License 2.0.
We can't use #[from] on Error::Msg(String) because String does not implement Error.
(Which it shouldn't; see e.g. https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/impl-error-for-string/8881.)
So we implement From manually for Error::Msg, since our current code was written
in that way for error-chain.
Move code to build assets to its own file. That results in better modularity and flexibility.
It also allows us to simplify HighlightingAssets a lot, since it will now always
be initialized with a SerializedSyntaxSet.
To improve startup performance, we will later load smaller `SyntaxSet`s instead
of one giant one. However, the current API assumes only one `SyntaxSet` is ever used,
and that that implicitly is the `SyntaxSet` from which returned `SyntaxReference`s
comes.
This change changes the API to reflect that `SyntaxSet` and `SyntaxReference`
are tightly coupled, and enables the use of several `SyntaxSet`.
Or rather, introduce new versions of these methods and deprecate the old ones.
This is preparation to enable robust and user-friendly support for lazy-loading.
With lazy-loading, we don't know if the SyntaxSet is valid until after we try to
use it, so wherever we try to use it, we need to return a Result. See discussion
about panics in #1747.
To trigger/verify the changed code, run
bat --list-languages # or -L
This is the last clippy warning in the code that you get if you run
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- --allow clippy::style
so by fixing it it becomes easier to spot when a new warning is
introduced (that does not belong to the clippy category clippy::style).
And by making it easy to spot new warnings, we increase chance of such
regressions not ending up in the code base.
