Description
The BitBake language is a metadata language created for the Yocto project. Support in linguist was added in 2014 (PR #1129), but at the time only to solve conflicts with BlitzBasic. Only the
.bbextension was implemented without any grammar.The Yocto project now has an official VSCode extension which includes a TextMate grammar. This PR adds the BitBake grammar from this repository (MIT License).
This PR also adds the following file extensions for the BitBake language:
.bbappend.bbclass.conf.incThe two first extensions are pretty unique so no heuristics was needed.
ForConcerning.conf, I added it togeneric.ymlbecause a lot of Linux configuration files are using it (and are not BitBake). I tried to make heuristics that match BitBake specific assignments (e.g.,A += ...) which are usually not present in generic conf files..inc, there are many languages having this extension so making the heuristics was tricky. The current heuristics is a bit too restrictive (that's why I have added two.incsample files), but still matches the majority (~ 95%) of BitBake.incfiles in my experiments.Finally, I fixed the
.bbheuristics to reduce BlitzBasic misclassification. In my experiments, the error rate was less than 1%.I made may experiments using the following repositories:

I am adding a new extension to a language.
The new extension is used in hundreds of repositories on GitHub.com
