Type definition module. Language configuration module.

§C Language Definition

This module contains the metadata and configuration options for the C language within the Oak framework.

§⚙️ Configuration

The CLanguage struct defines how the parser and lexer should behave to accommodate various C standards (C89, C99, C11, etc.):

pub struct CLanguage {}

Currently, CLanguage serves as a marker struct for C support. Future versions may include configuration for:

  • standard: Target C standard (e.g., C89, C99, C11, C17, C23).
  • extensions: Enable or disable specific compiler extensions (e.g., GCC, Clang, MSVC).
  • preprocess: Configure how the preprocessor should be handled during parsing.

§🧩 Oak Integration

By implementing the Language trait, this module provides the glue that connects:

  • TokenType: Defined in the lexer module, covering keywords, identifiers, literals, and operators.
  • ElementType: Defined in the parser module, representing declarations, expressions, statements, and function definitions.
  • TypedRoot: Defined in the ast module, providing a strongly-typed view of the C translation unit.

This centralization allows the Oak framework to handle generic tasks like incremental parsing and LSP support while remaining deeply aware of C’s unique syntax and semantics.
