A fix to the Lua language (stored functions in Go to Symbol)

#1

EDITED: Added support to stored scoped functions. See below.
I couldn’t find a way to submit or contribute an improvement to the Lua.tmLanguage. I tried putting it into a package, but it wouldn’t work, since Lua is a official supported language.

My contribution is related to stored functions/forward declarations. In the pristine package there is no support for this. Go to Symbol actually simply ignores this function:

local stored stored = function() end

With this addition, the above syntax is valid:

<dict> <key>captures</key> <dict> <key>1</key> <dict> <key>name</key> <string>entity.name.function.lua</string> </dict> <key>2</key> <dict> <key>name</key> <string>keyword.control.lua</string> </dict> <key>3</key> <dict> <key>name</key> <string>punctuation.definition.parameters.begin.lua</string> </dict> <key>4</key> <dict> <key>name</key> <string>variable.parameter.function.lua</string> </dict> <key>5</key> <dict> <key>name</key> <string>punctuation.definition.parameters.end.lua</string> </dict> </dict> <key>match</key> <string>\b([a-zA-Z_]+)\s*=\s*(function)\s*(\()(^)]*)(\))</string> <key>name</key> <string>meta.function.lua</string> </dict>

I use lua, and I am interested in this as well. Can you tell me a bit more about this? Are you saying I can put this into Lua.tmLanguage itself?

Yes just add it above or below the other meta.function.lua dict.

Just added support to stored scoped functions. Now go to symbol captures all of this:

[code]local stored
stored = function() end

local class = {}

local stored; class:stored = function() end

class.stored1 = function () end

local function loc(params) end

function glob(params) end[/code]
