Query depends on choice alternatives order

[yuriv]

Problem

I have run (see attachment) tree-sitter query declarations.scm var0.c and get no captures. But if you will change order of the choice: will move line (identifier) @identifier to the start position you will get valid capture.

declaration.scm:

(translation_unit
...    
    declarator: 
	[
	    ( (ms_call_modifier) @ms_call_modifier)? 
	    [
                ; <---
		(attributed_declarator) @attributed_declarator 
		(pointer_declarator) @pointer_declarator 
		(function_declarator) @function_declarator 
		(array_declarator) @array_declarator 
		(parenthesized_declarator) @parenthesized_declarator 
		(identifier) @identifier ; <--- this line from here to first position
	    ]
	    ( (gnu_asm_expression) @gnu_asm_expression)?
	    (init_declarator) @init_declarator
	]
....
    @declaration
)

declaration.scm.gz
var0.c.gz

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-c
cd tree-sitter-c
tree-sitter generate
gzip -d declarations.scm.gz var0.c.gz
tree-sitter query declarations.scm var0.c

Expected behavior

  pattern: 0
    capture: 15 - declaration, start: (0, 0), end: (0, 6), text: `int k;`
    capture: 5 - _type_specifier, start: (0, 0), end: (0, 3), text: `int`
    capture: 7 - identifier, start: (0, 4), end: (0, 5), text: `k`
