This patch aims to allow more things to be dumped. In particular,
compiled treesitter queries can be easily dumped by storing their source
so that they will be recompiled on load.
I noticed that in my config compiled quires are created somewhere which
prevents me dumping with standard Emacs build. But with this patch I can
dump successfully and not bother finding out who produced the queries.
It seems like there should be no drawbacks in allowing more things to be
dumped, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks. I added Daniel and Yuan to the discussion, in case they have
comments.
And I have a question: what happens if the pdumper file dumped with
tree-sitter available is loaded by an Emacs session in which
tree-sitter is not available? That can happen on Windows, for
example, if the tree-sitter library or the grammar library required
for recomputing the query is not available. I think we need some code
to prevent Emacs from crashing on startup in that case.
