parser-c

Rust module for parsing C code. Port of Haskell's language-c, semi-automatically translated using Corollary.

This port is a work in progress. A lot of work remains to parse anything but very simple C files; while most source code has been translated from Haskell, errors in translation prevent it from matching language-c's functionality yet. Here are the next steps for achieving parity, in order:

1. Building up an equivalent test bed to language-c's, then automatically cross-check
2. Fix errors in the ported code to support those test cases
3. Converting portions of the code into Rust idioms without breaking tests
4. Figure out a porting story for the alex/happy generated parser output

parser-c requires nightly. Example usage:

```rust extern crate parser_c;

use parser_c::parse;

const INPUT: &'static str = r#"

int main() { return 0; }

"#;

fn main() { match parse(INPUT, "simple.c") { Err(err) => { panic!("error: {:?}", err); } Ok(ast) => { println!("success: {:?}", ast); } } } ```

Result is:

OUT Right( CTranslationUnit( [ CFDefExt( CFunctionDef( [ CTypeSpec( CIntType( NodeInfo( Position { posOffset: 0, posFile: "./tests/simple.c", posRow: 1, posColumn: 1 }, ( Position { posOffset: 0, posFile: "./tests/simple.c", posRow: 1, posColumn: 1 }, 3 ), Name( 1 ) ) ) ) ], CDeclarator( Some( Ident( "main", 124382170, ...
