Language extension for awk

Implements a number of VSCode's language server functions for awk files: syntax checking, referencing and hovering.

Settings:

  • awk.maxNumberOfProblems: maximum number of problems listed in the editor.

  • awk.mode: can be "awk" or "gawk". Should be set according to the interpreter used.

  • awk.stylisticWarnings.missingSemicolon: true or false. When true, marks places where a newline ends a statement. False by default, but true when in "awk" mode.

  • awk.stylisticWarnings.compatibility: when true, marks functions and global variables only available in gawk.

  • awk.path: list of paths to include directories (only in gawk mode).

Peculiarities:

  • Comments with a double hash (##) before a function declaration are considered doc-comments, and are shown in the hover text.

  • Using more than one space before a parameter in the function declaration makes it a local variable. Function call checking will follow .
