I wonder if this would work better in that case:
---------------------------
/* Tokens */
NEWLINE: '\n' ;
/* Parsing rules */
stmt : 'E' ... NEWLINE
| 'C' ... NEWLINE
| 'CALL' ... NEWLINE
;
---------------------------
Nor sure since I don't know how explicitly defined tokens are treated
differently from tokens implicitly defined in parsing rules.
Alternatively, you can apply semantic predicate to lexer rules like this:
------------------------
C: { $pos == 0 }?=> 'C' ;
------------------------
It should only match "C" at the beginning of the line, but I found (in
my noob experiences) semantic predicate can be pretty tricky due to
"hoisting out" business and how it affects prediction DFA construction -
I'm sure more experienced hands can tell you better.
Good luck.
