module

Noir::TreeSitter

Thin high-level facade. Keeps tree lifetime tied to an object so callers don't have to think about ts_tree_delete.

Constants

MAX_AST_DEPTH = 1024

Recursion guard for AST walkers. Crystal's default fiber stack is generous (~8 MB) but a malicious source file with deeply nested syntax — (((((((...))))))) chains, deeply nested object literals, recursive template expressions — could cascade through a custom walker until the stack runs out. Real production code rarely nests beyond ~100 levels, so 1024 is comfortably above legitimate input and well below the stack ceiling.

NAMED_CHILD_CURSOR_THRESHOLD = 8

Above this many named children, switch from indexed access to a tree cursor. ts_node_named_child(node, i) is O(i) (it re-walks the sibling list each call), so the indexed loop is O(n^2) in the child count; a cursor walks each child in O(1) amortised but costs one allocation to set up. Small nodes stay on the allocation-free indexed path; wide nodes (large class bodies, program roots on big files) take the cursor and avoid the quadratic. Both paths yield the exact same named children in the same order.

PARSE_FAILURE_MAX_ENTRIES = 4096

Sources that already failed to parse, keyed by content fingerprint and grammar.

parse_timeout_micros bounds ONE ts_parser_parse_string call, but a file is offered to every analyzer of its language, and each one parses it independently — nine Rust analyzers each burn the full ceiling on the same unparsable .rs file, so a 10 s bound costs 90 s. The verdict is a pure function of (content, grammar), so remembering it turns that back into one ceiling per file. A timeout is wall-clock and so not strictly deterministic; that is the point — re-running a parse we already know takes longer than the ceiling cannot succeed in less time on the second try, it can only cost the ceiling again.

Keyed on content rather than path because parse never sees a path, and content is the better key anyway: the CodeLocator cache hands the same string to sibling analyzers, and two paths holding identical bytes parse identically.

Class methods

each_named_child(node : LibTreeSitter::TSNode, &)

Iterates named children without allocating an array.

Yields nothing once the walk has descended MAX_AST_DEPTH levels. Practically every extractor in the tree descends by recursing inside this block, so bounding it here bounds all of them at once: the alternative is threading a depth parameter through ~300 hand-rolled walkers and remembering to do it in the next one. A source file with thousands of nested syntactic constructs (((((...)))), chained builders, generated code) otherwise recurses until the fiber stack runs out, and a stack overflow is a hard abort — it kills the whole scan, not just the file, and no rescue in parallel_analyze can catch it. Walkers that thread their own depth against MAX_AST_DEPTH still cut earlier and more precisely; this is the backstop for the ones that don't.

The cursor path lives in a separate @[NoInline] method on purpose: these extractors recurse through each_named_child's block, so any local this method reserves (notably the 32-byte TSTreeCursor) is paid at every recursion level. Keeping the cursor out of this frame preserves the small original frame for the common narrow-node path, so legitimate deep input stays well inside the stack (guarded by spec/unit_test/miniparser/extractor_recursion_depth_spec).

node_type(node : LibTreeSitter::TSNode) : String
Source
parse(source : String, language : LibTreeSitter::TSLanguage, &)

Parses source with the given language and yields the root LibTreeSitter::TSNode. The parser is checked out from a per-language pool and returned when the block exits; the tree is freed in the same ensure.

Source
parse_failure_count

Number of remembered parse failures. Exposed for specs; not part of the public API contract.

Source
parse_go(source : String, &)

Parses source with the Go grammar and yields the root node.

Source
parse_java(source : String, &)

Parses source with the Java grammar and yields the root node.

Source
parse_javascript(source : String, &)

Parses source with the JavaScript grammar and yields the root node. Covers .js / .mjs / .cjs files; the JSX superset is recognised too — JSX-bearing TypeScript needs parse_typescript (not yet vendored).

Source
parse_kotlin(source : String, &)

Parses source with the Kotlin grammar and yields the root node.

Source
parse_python(source : String, &)

Parses source with the Python grammar and yields the root node.

Source
parse_rust(source : String, &)

Parses source with the Rust grammar and yields the root node. Covers .rs files. Used by the Rust framework analyzers (axum, actix-web, rocket, …) and the Rust callee extractor.

Source
parse_timeout_micros

Wall-clock ceiling for a single ts_parser_parse_string call.

tree-sitter's error recovery is quadratic on badly-malformed input: a 200 KB single line of unterminated string literals in a .go file spends minutes inside ts_parser__recover before returning. Nothing in noir can interrupt that — the parse is one blocking C call, so the scan simply stops, with no output and no way to tell which file did it. Source files are capped at MediaFilter::MAX_FILE_SIZE (10 MB) — the larger MAX_SPEC_FILE_SIZE covers only specification documents, which no vendored grammar parses — and a well-formed file that size parses in well under a second, so ten seconds is ~100x headroom over any legitimate input while still bounding the pathological case.

On expiry the parse returns null and parse raises, which the per-file rescue in parallel_analyze / scan_files logs at debug — one file dropped instead of the whole run. Writable so a spec can force the expiry path deterministically — a sub-millisecond ceiling times out on any non-trivial source, where reproducing a real 10 s timeout would need a pathological fixture and ten seconds of suite time. Nothing in a scan writes it: the value is read once per parse and comes from NOIR_PARSE_TIMEOUT_MS.

parser_pool_size(language : LibTreeSitter::TSLanguage) : Int32

Idle parser count for a given language. Exposed for tests and diagnostics; not part of the public API contract.

Source
query_error_name(error_type : Int32) : String

Names the error_type that ts_query_new writes back on failure. LibTreeSitter's TS_QUERY_ERROR_* constants existed for exactly this and were never used, so a broken query reported a bare code=2 and the reader had to go find TSQueryError in tree-sitter's api.h to learn that meant an unknown node type.

walk_depth

Descent depth of the AST walk currently running on this thread. Exposed for specs; not part of the public API contract.
