[cdt-dev] Reusing and Building CPP Parser

[Amr El-Rouby <amrropy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I need to add an extension for C++ language with some new grammar rules and keywords, 

My language syntax looks like C/C++ code, so I think about reusing Eclipse CDT source code and adapting it to parse my language.

For example, my language looks like that:

CALL SDL_send( signal_code = STRUCTX, CAST (alias_STRUCTX) signal_ptr =

  [{

     var_iis  =  50,

     Param1 =

     <{

                countc = 1,

                is_coded = TRUE

     }>

  }] ,

  signal_load = SIZEOF(alias_STRUCTX)

);

In the previous code block, I have simply called a function with some arguments, the first argument is signal_code and the second argument is signal_ptr or buffer.  

My question is how can I add new grammar rules to CPP parser and how can I build it with these new grammar rules?

And after that, what should I do to support auto completion and highlighting for my language keywords?

Best regards,

Amr
