Struct lsp_document::Pos

pub struct Pos {
    pub line: u32,
    pub col: u32,
}

Native position inside a text document/string. Points to a valid position before the character inside a UTF8-encoded string.

Why use Pos instead of raw usize offset

This depends on the use-case. Often raw usize or a newtype wrapper around usize is sufficient. However, raw byte offsets are not stable at all when a text document changes.

Usually, a text document is an input to later stages of the pipelines. Let’s take a simple incremental pipeline:

text: string ->
 symbols: Symbol { ..., start: usize, end: usize } ->
 diagnostics: Diag { ..., start: usize, end: usize }

Now, any change to text on line N will shift all start and end offsets, which will invalidate all symbols and diagnostics following the change and require recomputation.

However, if start and end are Poses then only the line where the change was made is affected. Symbols and diagnostic for other lines won’t be invalidated.

Fields

line: u32

0-indexed line inside the text document.

col: u32

0-indexed byte offset from the beginning of the. The offset is at a valid char boundary.

Implementations

impl Pos

pub fn new(line: u32, col: u32) -> Self

Create a new Pos. This method shouldn’t be required to use most of the time!

line is 0-indexed, col is a 0-indexed byte-offset from the beginning of the line to a valid char position.

Trait Implementations
