Language Frontend
The main task of the language frontend is to translate the programming language-specific files to the common CPG nodes. It further fills the scopeManager. The language frontend must not be used after having processed the files, i.e., it won't be available in passes.
More information can be found in the github wiki page.

Functions
Returns the raw code of the ast node, generic for java or c++ ast nodes.
Returns the code represented by the subregion extracted from the parent node and its region.
Returns the Region of the code with line and column, index starting at 1, generic for java or c++ ast nodes.
To prevent issues with different newline types and formatting.
Merges two regions. The new region contains both and is the minimal region to do so.
Registers a new listener (biConsumer), that gets called if the raw node specified in from gets processed.
