//
// This file supports semantic highlighting: categorizing tokens in the file so
// that the editor can color/style them differently.
//
// This is particularly valuable for C++: its complex and context-dependent
// grammar is a challenge for simple syntax-highlighting techniques.
//
// We support two protocols for providing highlights to the client:
// - the `textDocument/semanticTokens` request from LSP 3.16
//   https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node/blob/release/protocol/3.16.0-next.1/protocol/src/protocol.semanticTokens.proposed.ts
// - the earlier proposed `textDocument/semanticHighlighting` notification
//   https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node/pull/367
//   This is referred to as "Theia" semantic highlighting in the code.
//   It was supported from clangd 9 but should be considered deprecated as of
//   clangd 11 and eventually removed.
//
// Semantic highlightings are calculated for an AST by visiting every AST node
// and classifying nodes that are interesting to highlight (variables/function
// calls etc.).
