Function ts_tree_get_changed_ranges

pub unsafe extern "C" fn ts_tree_get_changed_ranges(
    old_tree: *const TSTree,
    new_tree: *const TSTree,
    length: *mut u32,
) -> *mut TSRange

Compare an old edited syntax tree to a new syntax tree representing the same document, returning an array of ranges whose syntactic structure has changed.

For this to work correctly, the old syntax tree must have been edited such that its ranges match up to the new tree. Generally, you’ll want to call this function right after calling one of the ts_parser_parse functions. You need to pass the old tree that was passed to parse, as well as the new tree that was returned from that function.

The returned array is allocated using malloc and the caller is responsible for freeing it using free. The length of the array will be written to the given length pointer.
