Hover Info

[z80dev]

For any given value, we want to display some information on hover. This is extremely useful during development. The specifics of what goes into a hover message will vary depending on what is being hovered on.

LSP API Methods

• textDocument/hover

Variations

Variables

For variables, we should display at minimum the type of a variable. If easily exposed by the compiler infrastructure we will be using, we can optionally also display:

• location in memory
• size in words/bytes
• reference vs. value information

Functions

For functions, we should display at minimum:

• argument types
• return type
• any docstring present at the function definition.
