Kirill Bulatov f702efca3e language: Cache buffer syntax highlighting per row chunk
BufferSnapshot::chunks re-ran the tree-sitter highlight query over the
requested range on every call, so scrolling and cursor movement paid the full
query cost per frame.

Highlight captures are now computed once per 50-row chunk (the same RowChunks
that back bracket colorization), flattened into runs of capture-id stacks, and
kept in a cost-budgeted per-buffer LRU (10MB). Runs resolve through the
current HighlightMap at read time, so theme changes need no invalidation;
edits and reparses drop the cache through the existing TreeSitterData swap.
Chunks spanning more than 64KB bypass the cache and fall back to direct
querying, so files with giant lines behave as before.

New editor_render_highlighted and editor_render_highlighted_minimap benches
move the cursor through a generated 10K-line Rust file with real highlighting,
with and without the minimap; ZED_DISABLE_HIGHLIGHT_CACHE=1 routes rendering
through the pre-existing direct-query path for comparison.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
