Description
Did you check existing issues?
- I have read all the tree-sitter docs if it relates to using the parser
- I have searched the existing issues of tree-sitter-cpp
Tree-Sitter CLI Version, if relevant (output of tree-sitter --version)
No response
Describe the bug
HIGHLIGHT_QUERY in rust bindings for the library only contains content of file queries/highlights.scm, but not the highlights query of tree-sitter-c library which it extends. Therefore only C++-specific parts of code are highlighted when using the parser through rust bindings.
Steps To Reproduce/Bad Parse Tree
Not sure what kind of reproducibility is needed here, but a simple program like this:
fn main() {
println!("{}", tree_sitter_cpp::HIGHLIGHT_QUERY);
}
Shows that the variable is wrong
Expected Behavior/Parse Tree
The HIGHLIGHT_QUERY variable should contain concatenated highlight queries from tree-sitter-c parser and queries/highlights.scm file

Research direction
Start with queries/highlights.scm and the Rust binding that defines HIGHLIGHT_QUERY, then compare the exported value with the tree-sitter-c highlights query it extends. Verify the result using the Rust program in the issue; done means the exported query includes both the C and C++ highlight rules.
