Brokk's C++ Grammar for Tree-sitter

This is the Brokk-owned and independently maintained fork of tree-sitter/tree-sitter-cpp, a C++ grammar for Tree-sitter. Brokk maintains this fork for its code-intelligence tooling and publishes the Rust package as brokk-tree-sitter-cpp. The grammar and bindings remain available under the upstream MIT license; see LICENSE for the retained copyright and license notice.

Try the grammar in Brokk's web playground.

The npm and Python bindings retain their upstream-compatible package names but are not published by this fork. The Go, Swift, and C bindings are available from source in this repository.

The 0.23.x line is intentionally based on upstream commit f41e1a044c8a84ea9fa8577fdd2eab92ec96de02 (upstream 0.23.4). It preserves parser ABI 14, the upstream C 0.23.1 dependency, and Tree-sitter CLI 0.24.3, while carrying Brokk's fix for quoted Windows include paths. Later upstream grammar changes use a newer ABI and are not silently mixed into this line.

Installation

Add the Brokk-maintained Rust crate to your project:

cargo add brokk-tree-sitter-cpp@=0.23.5

Or add it directly to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
tree-sitter-cpp = { package = "brokk-tree-sitter-cpp", version = "=0.23.5" }

The crate prefixes its native parser symbols so it can coexist with the upstream tree-sitter-cpp crate in one executable.

To regenerate the parser, install the locked JavaScript dependencies (npm ci) and run npx tree-sitter generate --abi 14. Run npx tree-sitter test to check the full corpus and highlighting suite.
