Parser

The C11 parser is defined in c11.y (Bison-style).

Responsibilities

• Enforce C grammar rules (or your supported subset)
• Construct AST nodes as reductions happen
• Encode precedence/associativity to reduce ambiguity
• Provide readable syntax errors

Extending the grammar

When you add a new syntax feature:

1. Extend grammar rules in c11.y
2. Construct a corresponding AST node (in ast.zig)
3. Ensure semantic analysis validates it
4. Add IR lowering rules in 3ac.zig
5. Add RV32 lowering or emission in assembler.zig

Error handling strategy

Prefer emitting:

• a short message
• the location
• what was expected / what was seen
