Class CParser
Represents a class that performs syntax and lexical analysis of specified Ansi-C code text.
public class CParser : SyntaxParser, IComponent, IDisposable, ISyntaxParser, IParser, ILexer, INotify, IUpdate, IImport- Inheritance

CParser
- Implements
Examples
Here is how to declare a CParser and assign it to the edit control from the C# code:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var parser = new Alternet.Syntax.Parsers.Advanced.CParser();
var edit = new Alternet.Editor.SyntaxEdit();
edit.Parent = this;
edit.Lexer = parser;
string fileName = "myfile.c";
if (System.IO.File.Exists(fileName))
{
parser.FileName = fileName;
edit.LoadFile(fileName);
}
}
}
Here is how to declare a CParser and assign it to the edit control from the Visual Basic code:
Partial Public Class Form1
Inherits Form
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim parser = New Alternet.Syntax.Parsers.Advanced.CParser()
Dim edit = New Alternet.Editor.SyntaxEdit()
edit.Parent = Me
edit.Lexer = parser
Dim fileName As String = "myfile.c"
If System.IO.File.Exists(fileName) Then
parser.FileName = fileName
edit.LoadFile(fileName)
End If
End Sub
End Class
Remarks
CParser is a non-visual component designed to perform syntax highlighting and provide advanced code editing capabilities for ANSI-C language. This parser supports full syntax and analysis of the ANSI-C code. When linked to the SyntaxEdit or TextEditor controls, this parser drives additional features such as code completion, code outlining, code formatting, and underlying syntax errors and warnings.
Please note that CPaser is designed to work with single C files; it does not support parsing of the include files or macro expansion. For industrial-grade C/C++ parsing, please refer to <xref=Alternet.Syntax.Parsers.Lsp.Clangd> namespace.
Here are some of the essential features provided by the CParser:
- Syntax Highlighting
- IntelliSense (Code completion)
- Code Outlining
- Structure guidelines
- Formatting a selected block of text or the whole document.
Constructors
Fields
Properties
- CaseSensitive
Gets or sets a boolean value that indicates whether
CParsershould perform case-sensitive analysis of its content.
- ExpressionEvaluator
Gets or sets an
IExpressionEvaluatorinstance using to evaluate conditional defines.
Methods
