Is there have a simple solution without change to much on clang?

In my case, I want to parse script which have custom language based on
C. The script just like below:

trace syscalls:*
{
    print(argstr);
}

Actually there just have few new keywords(like trace, trace_end) in
this new language, all others in C.

Any guide on this?

Thank you.
