Hello,
As part of my ongoing work to build a LaTeXCreole filter for PHP/Drupal,
I have gone down the route of building AST trees AST trees using a tree
grammar.
My current grammars antlr-compile in Java but I noticed they did not
antlr-compile in the C target.
I have traced the problem to 11 characters missing in three places in
the C target ASTTreeParse.stg string template.
(I was pleasantly surprised at how little time it took me to diagnose
these two problems.... /this is entirely down to the cleanness of
ANTLR3's architecture/.... while there is a lot of code, there are a lot
of examples with which to intuit your original intent... so again, many
thanks for the excellent work and thought of both Terence and Jim!)
There were two overall problems:
(1) The antlr compiler was complaining that two anonymous templates
were missing arguments:
> @@ -319,7 +319,7 @@ if ( <actions.(actionScope).synpredgate> ) {<\n>
> }

> separator="\n">

> separator="\n">

> separator="\n">

(2) The antlr compiler was complaining that /noRewrite was called
without its declared two arguments:

Both of these patches are on the file:

in the gitHub stephengaito/antlr3 fork of the main antlr/antlr3 project.
As per my previous bug report:
> [antlr-dev] Inconsistencies between ANTLR 3.4 C.stg and ANTLR gitHub
> C.stg versions
> <http://www.antlr.org/pipermail/antlr-dev/2012-April/002732.html>
I am happy to either raise a gitHub issue (on antlr/antlr3 or
antlr/antlr4) or issue a pull request. Please let me know how you would
like me to deal with this.
Regards,
Stephen Gaito
