Language definition and configuration for C#.

§C# Language Definition

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

§⚙️ Configuration

The CsharpLanguage struct defines how the parser and lexer should behave to accommodate various C# versions and project requirements:

pub struct CsharpLanguage {}

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

  • version: Target C# version (e.g., 10.0, 11.0, 12.0+).
  • unsafe: Enables parsing of unsafe blocks and pointer operations.
  • nullable: Configures the parser’s awareness of nullable reference types.
  • strict: When enabled, the parser enforces stricter C# syntax rules during analysis.

§🧩 Oak Integration

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

  • TokenType: Defined in the lexer module, covering keywords, operators, literals (including raw string literals), and interpolation tokens.
  • ElementType: Defined in the parser module, representing records, primary constructors, LINQ, and attributes.
  • TypedRoot: Defined in the ast module, providing a strongly-typed view of the C# source file.

This centralization allows the Oak framework to handle generic tasks like incremental parsing and LSP support while remaining deeply aware of C#’s sophisticated type system and its importance in the .NET ecosystem.
