Question: use tree-sitter-cpp all the time?

[genotrance]

I'm assuming tree-sitter-cpp is a superset of everything in tree-sitter-c. Is there any issues with using tree-sitter-cpp on C files as well?

This will avoid a bunch of flags, detection and what not in nimterop.

Thank you.

one issue with that approach is it won't detect illegal C things that is legal C++ thing

I'm not certain if tree-sitter actually handles that scenario. Will be great if @maxbrunsfeld could comment on this.

Certain C constructs are removed from the C++ parser, like the auto storage class specifier, and parsing of function-like macros that evaluate to a type (because that's not a common idiom in C++ since C++ has templates).

Those things might not matter to you though; they're pretty minor. 🤷‍♂️
