Thanks, I fixe the label’s face. As for ifsubmitbufl, tbase, and l, I don’t really understand the syntax here, and I think neither does tree-sitter . In general tree-sitter struggles with nonstandard (in its book anyway) syntax. And there aren’t much we can do (except for maybe improve tree-sitter-c’s parser).

Seems to work fine here. I don’t see anything I changed recently that could affect this, either.
