big max script file is really slow to navigate

[elpie89]

I have a max script file with more than 20K lines of codes
I cannot use this plugin with that code as vscode is slowed down and almost impossible to navigate
Disabling the plugin everything works well
is there a way to customize/improve performances? maybe adding memory for big file size etc?

Yes, I know; limitations of writing the parser in JS. Not much that can be done, either:

• Disabling the parser for long files (losing the outliner and code navigation) or maybe a simpler method to get code symbols, without structure.
• Modularize your code in shorter scripts,
• Write a compiled parser in ANTLR4

You're welcome to collaborate if you can do some improvements to the code.

@Trebor777 Could you contribute to the extension? I think unary minus syntax will be very problematic to resolve, also, once the grammar is done, a replacement for the post-processors needs to be done.

@HAG87 If only I had the time ^^' ... Sadly no. not yet anyway. Since mentionned it I only took 5min to look for it to see if there was anything and thought it might help you.
Awesome work on the current extension btw :) thanks a lot.

Thanks Marc; sadly I too don't have the time now to update the extension. It will stay in "it's good enough for not so large scripts" for now. Btw, great find! If the author is willing to collaborate, the extension could be greatly improved. El lun, 11 oct 2021 a las 1:30, Marc Robert ***@***.***>) escribió:
