JFYI, Paul Kulchenko is doing his own fork here: https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/tree/master/lualibs
If interested, you may make a merge. I did it already, you can cherry-pick here: ildar@67f9007

Just want to note that most of the changes were introduced for two purposes: make the parser more "complete" (not failing on invalid input) and to add enough information to process global/local/masked variables. There was also some logic added to handle incremental parsing (to allow, for example, restart processing from an earlier point).

I also have another set of changes/improvements that are not included in @ildar's batch of changes that add processing of function definitions and improve incremental processing.

@pkulchenko, yes, the commit I proposed is based on ZBS v0.80.
And a few weeks ago you improved parser again. Is that what you mean?
​To manage this I've made another commit: ildar@c6f3f7b

Paul, you didn't mention the compatibility level of your fork. I suppose
that your changes are made quite compatible. This also means that the most
recent version should work with ZBS 0.80, right?

This also means that the most recent version should work with ZBS 0.80, right?

I have not tested that specifically, but I believe the answer is "yes". I wouldn't run it with 0.80 though as there is no code that can benefit from the changes (and still some risk of incompatibility). All these changes will be included in the next version of ZBS.

@davidm, David, I know this was largely an experiment to build a "loose" parser, but it's been working well for me and I wonder if you have any plans for it.
