Step 1 of the §0a recipe for the C/C++ port: every tree-sitter.ts branch, extractor-config field, name-salvage helper, and gate the walker must mirror, with file:line anchors. Locks the architecture: preParse (all seven blanking passes) hoists to the kernel route point so none of it ports to Rust; Metal/CUDA stay on wasm this round; one dual-language walker module. Key asymmetries surveyed: value-refs are C-only (cpp absent from VALUE_REF_LANGS), static-member refs are cpp-only, fn-ref spec is cFamilySpec with addressOfOnly for cpp. Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# C/C++ kernel port (R7a) — the bug-for-bug checklist
|
||
|
||
**Status:** survey COMPLETE (2026-07-17); grammars + walker + gates not started.
|
||
This is §0a-recipe step 1's output for c/cpp: every TS-side branch the walker
|
||
must mirror, with file:line anchors into the reference implementation. Read it
|
||
WITH `docs/design/rust-kernel-migration-plan.md` (§0a recipe, §5 gates).
|
||
Companion walkers to crib structure from: `codegraph-kernel/src/tsjs/` (multi-
|
||
dialect module), `java.rs`, `go.rs` (receiver QNs), `python.rs`.
|
||
|
||
## Architecture decisions (already made by the plan)
|
||
|
||
1. **preParse stays TS-side and is HOISTED to the route point.**
|
||
`tryKernelExtract(filePath, source, lang)` currently receives RAW source
|
||
(`tree-sitter.ts:6707`); the wasm path applies `extractor.preParse` inside
|
||
`TreeSitterExtractor` (`tree-sitter.ts:488`). For kernel-routed c/cpp, apply
|
||
the SAME preParse before the kernel call so both arms parse identical
|
||
blanked bytes — all seven blanking passes (`preParseCppSource` /
|
||
`preParseCSource`, `languages/c-cpp.ts:698/750`) then need NO Rust port,
|
||
and every offset survives (they're all equal-length-space replacements).
|
||
2. **Metal + CUDA are NOT routed this round.** They are separate `Language`
|
||
values riding the cpp grammar; leaving them off `DEFAULT_ROUTED` keeps them
|
||
on wasm — zero risk, tiny file counts. (CUDA blanking still applies to
|
||
c/cpp-detected files via the content gate inside preParse — that rides the
|
||
hoist for free.)
|
||
3. **One walker module, dual language** (`codegraph-kernel/src/ccpp/`), flagged
|
||
c vs cpp like `tsjs/` flags its four dialects. Grammars: tree-sitter-c +
|
||
tree-sitter-cpp crates, wasm vendored from the SAME tags (sha-matched
|
||
parser.c + scanner, ts-cli 0.25.10). Upgrade the production wasm FIRST and
|
||
get the full suite green before the walker exists (isolate grammar-bump
|
||
effects, as R2 did for TS/JS).
|
||
|
||
## Extractor configs (languages/c-cpp.ts — read the whole file when porting)
|
||
|
||
**cExtractor (line 180):** functionTypes=[function_definition]; NO
|
||
class/method/interface types; structTypes=[struct_specifier];
|
||
enumTypes=[enum_specifier]; enumMemberTypes=[enumerator];
|
||
typeAliasTypes=[type_definition]; importTypes=[preproc_include];
|
||
callTypes=[call_expression]; variableTypes=[declaration];
|
||
nameField=declarator; isConst = any child `type_qualifier` with text
|
||
`const`; getReturnType = extractCppReturnType; resolveTypeAliasKind =
|
||
typedef enum/struct with body → that kind (anon inner specifier takes the
|
||
typedef's name); extractImport: `system_lib_string` → strip `<>`, else
|
||
`string_literal>string_content`; signature = full `#include` line.
|
||
recoverMangledName = recoverMangledCppName (post-parse salvage, PORT).
|
||
|
||
**cppExtractor (line 755):** adds classTypes=[class_specifier] with
|
||
**skipBodilessClass** (forward decls / elaborated refs mint no node, #1093);
|
||
methodTypes=[function_definition] (method vs function decided by
|
||
isInsideClassLikeNode); typeAliasTypes += alias_declaration (`using X = …`);
|
||
resolveName = extractCppQualifiedMethodName (line 75: macro-recovered name
|
||
first, else LAST `::` segment of the declarator's qualified_identifier —
|
||
found by BFS that SKIPS parameter_list + trailing_return_type, line 13);
|
||
getReceiverType = extractCppReceiverType (line 86: the qualifier prefix,
|
||
`stripCppTemplateArgs`-normalized — multi-line template args must not leak
|
||
newlines into qualifiedName, #1286/NAME_MAX); getReturnType =
|
||
extractCppReturnType → normalizeCppReturnType (line 122: smart-ptr/optional
|
||
unwrap to pointee, cv/template/ptr strip, last `::` segment, primitives →
|
||
none — set CPP_NON_CLASS_RETURN line 108); getVisibility = nearest preceding
|
||
`access_specifier` scan in the parent's children (line 785);
|
||
isMisparsedFunction (line 811): name starts `namespace`, name ∈
|
||
{switch,if,for,while,do,case,return}, or isMacroMisparsedTypeDecl (line 261:
|
||
bodyless class/struct specifier in `type` + non-function_declarator
|
||
declarator → DROP the node).
|
||
|
||
**Name-salvage helpers to port exactly:** recoverCppMacroDefinedName (line
|
||
49 — ALL-CAPS-with-underscore parsed name + first param a LONE lowercase
|
||
type_identifier + ≥2 params + NO other lone-identifier param; gtest
|
||
`TEST_F(Fixture, Name)` / `PYBIND11_MODULE(ext, m)` bail);
|
||
recoverMangledCppName (line 406 — only already-mangled names, `Ret (name)`
|
||
idiom left alone, last token before `(`, primitive/keyword guard);
|
||
stripCppTemplateArgs (line 157 — depth-counted removal of every balanced
|
||
`<…>`); cDeclaratorIdentifier (tree-sitter.ts:234 — declarator chain walk,
|
||
function_declarator → null, 12-hop guard).
|
||
|
||
## tree-sitter.ts branches (anchors as of `705e501`)
|
||
|
||
| Line | Mechanism | Must-mirror details |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| 962 | cpp namespace prefix stack (#1291) | named `namespace_definition` pushes its name (C++17 `a::b` as written) onto the QN prefix while walking children; anonymous falls through bare |
|
||
| 2795 | C file-scope variables | only when NO function ancestor; iterate declarators; accept ONLY init_declarator / pointer_declarator / array_declarator — a BARE identifier declarator is a macro-prototype misparse, skip (loses uninit scalars by design); name via cDeclaratorIdentifier; signature `= <first 100 chars>`; kind constant/variable via isConst |
|
||
| 4313 | explicit operator calls (#1247) | callee = `function` field + ERROR-wrapped `operator_name` sibling; compact symbolic spacing (`operator *`→`operator*`, word forms keep space); receiver `->`→`.`; DROP unless receiver is `this` (bare name) or simple identifier/member chain (silent miss over wrong edge) |
|
||
| ~4340 | field_expression method calls | `recv.method`/`ptr->method` → `recv.method`; SKIP_RECEIVERS {self,this,cls,super} → bare name; LITERAL receiver → emit nothing (#1230) |
|
||
| 4398 | call-result receivers (#645/#608) | receiver is call_expression → `<innerCallee>().<method>` re-encode (c AND cpp in the gate list) |
|
||
| 4534 | template-arg strip on callees | callee contains `<` and NOT `operator` → stripCppTemplateArgs (CUDA launch sites post-blank take this shape) |
|
||
| 4545 | local fn-ptr call fan-out (#932-adjacent) | bare-identifier callee found in cppLocalFnPtrs[callerId] → emit one `calls` ref PER recorded target, suppress the local name |
|
||
| 5173 | stack construction (#1035) | cpp `declaration` where `type` ∈ {type_identifier, template_type, qualified_identifier} and any init_declarator has `value` ∈ {argument_list, initializer_list} → extractInstantiation |
|
||
| 5183 | fn-ptr binding recording | inside a body: `declaration>init_declarator` (identifier declarator) or `assignment_expression` (identifier left); value must be pointer_expression whose child(0) is `&`; target ∈ {identifier, template_function, qualified_identifier}, template-stripped; per-callerId map of per-local Sets (branch reassignments accumulate) |
|
||
| 5408 | base_class_clause → extends (#1043) | per base: type_identifier / qualified_identifier / template_type, stripCppTemplateArgs'd; access-specifier keywords skipped |
|
||
| 4740 | static member refs — **cpp only** (c not in STATIC_MEMBER_LANGS, line 345) | `Foo::BAR` value reads → `references` edge; VERIFY the MEMBER_ACCESS_TYPES shapes for qualified_identifier + the call-callee skip during the port |
|
||
| — | value-reference edges | **c: YES** (VALUE_REF_LANGS line 401), **cpp: NO**. Port the value-ref machinery for C only (crib go.rs / tsjs — shadow prune, scope stack, MAX_VALUE_REF_NODES cap, CODEGRAPH_VALUE_REFS=0 kill) |
|
||
| — | fn-ref capture (#756) | function-ref.ts:376: `c: cFamilySpec()`, `cpp: cFamilySpec({ addressOfOnly: true })`; note line ~582: `&Cls::m` exemption from the bare-ids-are-free-functions rule — read cFamilySpec fully when porting |
|
||
| 355 | INSTANTIATION_KINDS | includes new_expression → cpp `new Foo(...)` instantiates (verify the cpp entry list when porting) |
|
||
|
||
**Generic paths c/cpp share with ported languages** (already mirrored by
|
||
java.rs/python.rs/go.rs — re-verify each against c/cpp fixtures rather than
|
||
re-deriving): extractFunction/Method QN via scope stack + receiverType
|
||
(`Recv::name` like Go), struct/enum/enum_member extraction, typedef →
|
||
type_alias (+ resolveTypeAliasKind kind override), imports, docstrings
|
||
(preceding `comment` nodes — docstring.rs already handles C markers incl. the
|
||
CRLF semantics from #1329), contains edges, signature truncation in UTF-16
|
||
units, MAX_FILE_SIZE / generated-file skips, `has_error()` → `defer:`.
|
||
|
||
## Gates (per plan §5, no exceptions)
|
||
|
||
- Torture fixtures: `torture.c` (fn-ptr tables, typedef enum/struct, file-scope
|
||
consts incl. multi-declarator, macro-prototype misparse shape, value-refs) +
|
||
`torture.cpp`/`torture.hpp` (namespaces incl. C++17 nested, out-of-line
|
||
`Cls::method` defs, templates + template bases, operators incl. spaced call
|
||
sites, stack construction, local fn-ptrs, UE-macro shapes THROUGH the
|
||
hoisted preParse, `using` aliases, anonymous namespace, access specifiers).
|
||
- Parity sweeps + full-init dump-diffs byte-identical: redis + git (C),
|
||
fmt + a protobuf-class repo (C++), plus a UE-macro-heavy spot-check
|
||
(blanking-hoist parity) — then linux in cg1212 (expect parse 338s →
|
||
~120–180s at the 2c envelope; graph counts must stay 2,048,664/6,405,964).
|
||
- Deferral-rate guard <10%; suite; changelog rides the existing kernel entry.
|
||
- DEFAULT_ROUTED += c, cpp only after ALL of the above.
