C parser

[vaguue]

I'm excited to share that I've recently developed a new package using your library. My package, struct-compile, is a Node.js module that allows for the direct conversion of C structures into JavaScript classes. This is particularly useful for parsing binary data more efficiently.
Thank you for creating and maintaining such a powerful tool. I'm looking forward to contributing to the community and seeing how others might use this in their projects.
I would be grateful if you could take a look at my project and provide any feedback, especially if there are any oversights or errors that I might have missed. Your expertise and insights would be invaluable.

Hello @vaguue and thanks for sharing your project. 👍

I've only looked at your parser due to time shortage, not much to comment on as it seems clean and easy to understand.
A few very small style/subjective suggestions.

1. Consider splitting up the lexer and parser into two separate files.

   • Easier to unit test imho.
   • Easier to control exported APIs (e.g exporting the token types too).

2. Consider using a helper function to assemble allTokens, e.g:

   • chevrotain/examples/grammars/xml/xml_lexer.js

     Lines 34 to 38 in 4a68802

     	function createToken(options) {
     	const newTokenType = createTokenOrg(options);
     	tokensArray.push(newTokenType);
     	tokensDictionary[options.name] = newTokenType;
     	return newTokenType;

   • This way it's harder to forget adding a new Token to the list of Tokens.
   • And we get rid of this very long line: https://github.com/vaguue/struct-compile/blob/4e202f6e3203032ad729877d95928a5309b958a0/src/parser.js#L27 which would normally get formatted into multiple lines (e.g with prettier).
