Function tree_sitter::ffi::ts_lookahead_iterator_new

pub unsafe extern "C" fn ts_lookahead_iterator_new(
    self_: *const TSLanguage,
    state: TSStateId
) -> *mut TSLookaheadIterator

Create a new lookahead iterator for the given language and parse state.

This returns NULL if state is invalid for the language.

Repeatedly using ts_lookahead_iterator_next and ts_lookahead_iterator_current_symbol will generate valid symbols in the given parse state. Newly created lookahead iterators will contain the ERROR symbol.

Lookahead iterators can be useful to generate suggestions and improve syntax error diagnostics. To get symbols valid in an ERROR node, use the lookahead iterator on its first leaf node state. For MISSING nodes, a lookahead iterator created on the previous non-extra leaf node may be appropriate.
