tree-sitter-c-sharp

C# grammar for tree-sitter based upon the Roslyn grammar with changes in order to:

• Deal with differences between the parsing technologies
• Work around some bugs in that grammar
• Handle #if, #else, #elif, #endif blocks
• Support syntax highlighting/parsing of fragments
• Simplify the output tree

• [x] Module initializers
• [x] Native integers
• [x] Patterns
  • [x] Simple type patterns
  • [x] Relational patterns
  • [x] Logical patterns
• [x] Records
• [x] Skip Locals Init
• [x] Static anonymous functions
• [x] Target-typed conditional expression
• [x] Target-typed new
• [x] Top-level statements

C# 10.0

• [x] File-scoped namespace declaration
• [x] Extended property patterns
• [x] Allow const interpolated strings
• [x] Record types can seal ToString()
• [x] Allow both assignment and declaration in the same deconstruction
• [x] Allow AsyncMethodBuilder attribute on methods
